That is the first logically written, nonthreatening and positive post I have seen on this board from you in some time. I do have a couple thoughts for you to consider, if you have time to humor a far less intelligent visitor to this board.

I don't care what you ever wrote about DT. I don't use your personal career as a gage for what you say on this board. You could be the food critic at the Edmond Sun for all I care. Your posts consistently show a disgust for the green and gold. That is great, but just come clean.

I am not nearly as big an OBU fan as you like to assume, though I have followed them since I could walk. I am happy to see them in the tournament, but you will never catch me predicting a championship for them. You also will never see me post about how great they are. (I may say they are better than your team, but that is just because I get enjoyment out of cheering against you) The only personal bias from my Obaptist days you'll see from me is that I think we should have won a title, so we could shut John Parrish up about the gods of '66.

I agree with you that the final two rounds should be played on a neutral court. Money is an issue though and I think it will be sometime before the SAC can afford to do that. It's not the District 9 with 1 bid anymore.

Regular season meaningless? That is absurd! The regular season champion gets an automatic bid. Furthermore, if the conference tournament is not at your home floor, it is more important to put yourself in a position to get in before the tournament.

Is it fair? No. But was it fair when OU had to play Syracuse in New York in the regional finals in 2003? What about when UCLA has to play Tulsa in Oklahoma City in the first round of the NCAA tournament in 1994?

These things happen. Take care of business in the regular season when everything is fair and you still go to the national tournament. If you put yourself in the position where you have to win the conference tournament, you have no one to blame but yourself.
