Jerry Palm is a tool
When asked about the A10 possibly getting 7 bids and C-USA fans complaining that they may only get 1 bid, Palm says, "Yeah, well conference USA needs better players and coach 'em up."

So I guess it means nothing that Charlotte beats Michigan and Kansas State and can't even win 9 games out of 18 in conference. Or that UAB beats North Carolina and Nebraska and likewise can't win 8 out of 17 games in conference.

I saw that. If he can't find his way around the family tree, what makes anyone think he can find his way around NCAA brackets?!?!

But look at him..... Inbreeding, is gross.

Rothstein burst out laughing. He thinks he knows way more than he actually does. Wally chuckled a bit. Zucker didn't laugh at all.

I still got these hanging around in my photobucket account from that time.

I don't know any of them except Wally. Their actions were kind of rude.

Yeah, the A-10 getting 7 bids is pretty ridiculous, and we probably have a couple of teams that should be in. But, at some point we have to prove it on the court.

Southern Miss can't play one "named" team all year and lose to them by 30.

UTEP can't play a middle of the road B1G team (Iowa) and lose by 30, can't get swept by NMSU, can't lose 6 games at home, can't lose at home to a team that hasn't won a road game in a decade (UNO), can't spend the month of December playing a bunch of sub-500 teams at home.

La Tech can't have an SOS in the bottom third of the nation.

Middle Tennessee can't lose by double digits to Belmont.

And, probably more importantly and less talked about at this time of the year, we can't have a quarter of the league with 10-22 records or worse.

There's no doubt in my mind that the 4 teams that played tonight could play with anyone in the national. Probably UTEP, too. At some point, we have to do it. The conference has some nice wins, but we need more of them.

Bottom line, from La Tech to Rice, the conference just has to start winning game. The upper tier has to start knocking off some big names. The bottom tier just has to start winning.

Sorry to sound pissy. I really do hope Southern Miss gets in, and I think they deserve it.

I agree 100% one radio analyist said CUSA top four were 2-16 vs. top 100.

You can't be a multiple bid league with those kinds of numbers.

Probably meant in OOC play. Tulsa lost pretty much all of their marquee OOC games.

USM only beat NDSU.

MTSU didn't beat anyone notable that I can recall.

La Tech beat Oklahoma, but I can't think of any other quality programs they beat OOC.

Didn't see that. Still wrong if he's talking top 100. 2 up there. USM beat Georgia St. (73). MT beat Akron (90). La Tech beat St. Bonaventure (93). Tulsa beat Indiana St. (74).

If he's talking about top 50, I doubt those 4 teams had 18 games against the top 50 OOC.

Cherry picking at its finest. If you're talking about the league, talk about the league's merits. If you want to talk about an individual team's merits, talk about that team.

Exactly.. i went on a rant on the realignment board, cause of that kind of crap "callout" as someone trashed C-USA.. and I kinda actually sorta lost it (in my own way).

BtW... anyone catch what the Wichita State coach said a couple of weeks ago, when he FINALLY got asked about his lightweight schedule? He said... If they want to challenge our record, come tell them to play us on both our court and their court. Until then he basically told them to "STFU".

That's about how I feel lately. You want to whine about the fact we've got good schools that havent played anyone? Then come challenge us to a game on _EQUAL_ footing. This ain't college football, where you only have 4 available OOC games. If you can't fit us in your schedule, then STFU, AD's and coaches and "Sports journalists".

Plus USM beat NDSU (34). So that's 5 right there.

So I guess it means nothing that Charlotte beats Michigan and Kansas State and can't even win 9 games out of 18 in conference. Or that UAB beats North Carolina and Nebraska and likewise can't win 8 out of 17 games in conference.

Yeah, the A-10 getting 7 bids is pretty ridiculous, and we probably have a couple of teams that should be in. But, at some point we have to prove it on the court.

Southern Miss can't play one "named" team all year and lose to them by 30.

UTEP can't play a middle of the road B1G team (Iowa) and lose by 30, can't get swept by NMSU, can't lose 6 games at home, can't lose at home to a team that hasn't won a road game in a decade (UNO), can't spend the month of December playing a bunch of sub-500 teams at home.

La Tech can't have an SOS in the bottom third of the nation.

Middle Tennessee can't lose by double digits to Belmont.

And, probably more importantly and less talked about at this time of the year, we can't have a quarter of the league with 10-22 records or worse.

There's no doubt in my mind that the 4 teams that played tonight could play with anyone in the national. Probably UTEP, too. At some point, we have to do it. The conference has some nice wins, but we need more of them.

Bottom line, from La Tech to Rice, the conference just has to start winning game. The upper tier has to start knocking off some big names. The bottom tier just has to start winning.

Sorry to sound pissy. I really do hope Southern Miss gets in, and I think they deserve it.

We also need to not have all the 250 rpi schools at the bottom...
