@PitchingFan posted:how about this. We won better games. We’re ranked higher. Higher rpi. But the reasoning the ncaa gave was USM had better facilities and sat more which is both a lie. How about just say because we wanted the team with the dad on the committee, a retiring coach, and a mid major to host. Just be truthful. Don’t lie and then ESPN back up the lie. SRO are not seats. Per Standing Room Only. Those areas should not be counted. Build bleachers and put seats on them.
ok i will rephase, don't finish 4th in your division and cry about not hosting....bottom line UT didn't get it done this year and can look themselves in the mirror. they aren't dead yet just being slightly inconvenienced having to go on the road to beat some unworthy opponent instead of having a spot handed to them.
The sheer arrogance of the SEC is amazing.
*Edit - Espn spends most of its broadcast time lying about something so it should not be a surprise they would back up a story like this!!
