We got screwed up the butt in a major way.

The BYU selection screwed us.

Makes one wonder if the NCAA is still punishing UT for Pearl and Kiffin.

Some of the folks on other boards want to claim we are in the tournament. We are not in the tournament yet. We have to win this game in order to get into the tournament.

We do not earn 1st round NCAA Tournament money unless we win the game.

Tennessee defines the play-in game as "in the tournament" ... Cuanzo gets bonus money for making it.

Well, I don't and many other fans don't either.

Those who do, are the people who got trophies just for participating in a sports league, instead of getting a trophy for MVP or something. Re-defining a lesser experience to help them cope with the reality of the situation.

It sure looks like Dave Hart is not as accepting of the situation either, if you read the tea leaves.

The play-in games seem stupid to me ... a mini-qualifying bubble tournament? Either you meet the criteria for being in the tournament or you do not.

Or more like football, why not just let every team that has a record above .500 play for the NCAA championship. Then, there is a defined criteria for making the dance, rather than a bunch of AD's that hate the SEC making all the decisions.
