I wonder if Colorado will host this year? Certainly seems like they are deserving and I hope their administration submitted a bid (rumors have been that they did not in the past and probably missed some opportunities to host). They have a decent facility and they serve Coors!!!
I think other schools in the geographic region that might host would be Nebraska, BYU, Utah (but they have kind of a icky facility) and Oklahoma, maybe Wichita State if they win the Valley?
I hope CU hosts and gets Nebraska and Utah... I'd drive over for that since I couldn't get to the CU-NU game last week.

Only seeded teams should be allowed the privilege of hosting.

Colorado wouldn't get Nebraska -- same conference rule. And Utah and Nebraska shouldn't meet in the first two rounds.
And, in spite of BiK's hopes and desires, non-seeded teams often get to host. The question will be whether they _need_ Colorado to host. There's CSU and who else? If Nebraska stays home, that makes it more difficult to find teams in the area -- non-Big12 teams.

Why is the University of Colorado called "CU"? Shouldn't it be "UC"?

Why is the University of Colorado called "CU"? Shouldn't it be "UC"? I know this has been bothering Wolfgang for years - here's your explanation. You're welcome, in advance. www.cubuffs.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=600&KEY=&ATCLID=24650CU, not UC Courtesy: CUBuffs.com A question often asked of many former Big Eight schools: Why is it the University of Colorado, but the moniker is CU and not UC? (The same applies at Kansas-KU, Missouri-MU, Nebraska-NU and Oklahoma-OU). "Midwestern casualness," says CU historian Fred Casotti. It has always been this way at Colorado, for whatever reason, and at the other four listed above-but seemingly nowhere else in the USA. In the 1950s, there was a concerted effort to eliminate the use of "CU" on the Boulder campus, both as a symbol and in speech, but Casotti said that no one would buy into it. "Nobody would change," he said. "It's easier to say than U of C, UC sounds like slang or something (as in 'you see'), and it was traditional. By trying to eliminate it, they reinforced it." |

I thought so.
It should have been "UC" (Colorado) and "UN" (Nebraska). And they don't have to say "U of C", just say "UC". Morons.
Thanks, in advance.

That's why you'll see UNL a lot.

Sorry, we keep UC reserved for the University of Chicago. I doubt Colorado U can even approach UC's overall academic reputation, much less compete with important programs like law, business, and economics.

NCAA DI wants to have at least four separate locker rooms five if at all possible. One for each team and one for refs. Locler rooms being places with shower facilities and lockers/changing area.
DIII wants nine locker rooms to host. Eight for the teams and one for the refs. Who's got that kind of facility?

Again, I find myself agreeing with BiK (strange). The seeded teams should host, unless they aren't able to any time that weekend. This regional stuff is a joke, especially in the northeast. I do think the field should be at 64 and every conference should have an automatic bid, but they should seed the whole tournament. Has anyone other than GW Bush and Halliburton gained more from September 11 than the NCAA? How much money have they saved themselves from regionalizing the tournaments from 2001 onward? Can anyone make a credible argument that the tournaments have been better as a result? No. See: Minnesota as a top seed going to Yale, was it, to play in a field of three really weak teams. I am pretty sure two of those teams could have gotten a flight to Minneapolis pretty easily.

Why not? You could sell more hats. One of my friends' roommates a few years back played baseball at Morehead State. How would that be? You wear your school's stuff, and everyone thinks you are a jerk frat boy.

You wear your school's stuff, and everyone thinks you are a jerk frat boy. What. Like the University of South Carolina hats (with a shortened version of their nickname) that seem to be popular among a certain segment of the male population?  |
