RE: NCAA: #25/RV Middle Tennessee (12) vs #24/21 Butler (4) (TBS), 6:10PM
The thing about the 13 defense is those behind the ball have to be aware of where "their player" is... there were a ton of lapses there in the second half. It happens... but it sucks. Freakin' Butler. :(

I know it sucks now, but remember everyone else in this conference would love to have lost a 2nd round game today. You represented the league well.
Hopefully you guys can build on this. Top half of the league should be as good as it's been in awhile next year. Maybe we can finally put 2 teams in.

I don't disagree, and Butler certainly played well and took advantage. But why stay in it when it's repeatedly clear that it's failing spectacularly? That's one of the things that frustrates us about our OC in football.
That should be a motto on a T-shirt: Don't Be a Bill Legg.

All of that said, I feel like the Raiders represented the conference well. Tremendous season! I'm a little (30 years worth, really) envious!

" Doing Tech proud"? How do you figure that?
I couldn't care less if Mike White and Florida ever win another game. In fact, one could reasonably argue that the more NCAA Tournament games that Mike White wins, the more likely LA Tech will be raided again of another good coach in the near future.

Yup. Does anyone think that anything White does at Florida will make Tech look good? How many times over the past two years has Tech been mentioned during a Florida game?
I laughed when Sonny Dykes got fired by Cal. If White falls out of good standing with Florida, I'll laugh again. No respect for coaches that use programs like ours as stepping stones. You know who I do respect? Someone like Gary Patterson who took TCU from the WAC/C-USA to the Big XII. P.J. Fleck and Tom Herman were the kind of coaches that could have taken WMU or Houston to the next level, but then ditched for the P5 and took players and coaches with them. I'd be perfectly fine with Minny and tu going 0-12 next year. Purdue as well, for all I care.
