In response to TheLine
But I'll be far more disappointed if they don't come in 1st in the league. That banner is important
Ok, that's how you feel, but I can't understand how winning the regular season could matter more to you than going to the NCAAs. When I said that "we no longer value" the regular season, I point solely to the fact that it no longer carries the automatic bid with it. That was its real value.
I can tell by your screen name that you go back to the days when enough students cared that there WAS a line. Back then, going to the tournament was the main goal and it happened about half the time over the course of a few decades. Did you really feel any consolation after losing the playoffs in '96 (or '81 if you are old enough to remember) by having a share of the regular season? Do those banners make you feel anything other than disappointment?
I guess it's possible that some people see it that way. I just don't.
