A Pissed Pony For You Guys

In a 2 team race, with two teams head and shoulders above the rest, how does SMU land 1 player on first team and Cincy none? Total bull$%#!. Both SMU and Cincy easily handled Houston and pretty much everyone else.

Think about it this way,: what does it say about Houston's team and coach if they have two of the best 5 players in the league, but can't beat either of the two top teams, including one with no players in the Top 5. Isn't that an indictment in itself?

This tells me that the lower rung teams did not want to load the first team with SMU or Cincy players and held out their vote. That's just absurd.

Hopefully we will get a chance at a tie-breaker with you guys in the conference tournament and I'm hopeful each of us will have a nice run in the NCAAs.

After all, the weight and credibility of this conference (this year) rests on the shoulders of our respective teams.

I don't know but someone said on here somewhere, none of our guys averaged over 25 mins a game. Not sure if that's true but it would explain why they didn't have the stats. And we are really balanced. Both these things don't help

I like how there seems to be a mutual respect between us and SMU. Instead of fighting each other, it seems like both fan bases are more interested in hoping other teams can start getting on our level. Something about a rising tide lifting all boats or sometching.

I think it was none of our guys in the top 25 of minutes played.

Because:
  • AAC sucks
  • AAC officiating sucks
  • AAC advertising sucks
  • AAC awarding sucks
  • AAC scheduling sucks
  • AAC television negotiation sucks
  • AAC sucks

Get out ASAP is the only way to fix the BS

Yeah, that was probably it...all of our starters averaged 25 minutes plus...Evans & Caupain over 30

Good post and I agree. I really hope to see SMU in the finals. It would be a great game and could only help both teams. Anyone else in the finals and it is a no win situation for either one of us. Need to take care of business.
