I think I know what some of you might be getting at here....The press release is calling this "Player of the Year", and not "Most Valuable Player". It's a slight difference in the definition, and I've seen this before. With that "player of the year" definition, the voters tend to feel that they need to flat-out give the award to the best basketball player in the conference that year. And I don't think there is a better player in the conference this year than Romeo Travis.However, when you label this award "most valuable", then they might tend to look at who meant the most to their respective team. And you can make the argument that someone else might have been more valuable to our team.Which leads me to another debate that we've had on here for a long time.....Does Romeo Travis now become a strong candidate to have his jersey retired someday? If my memory serves me correctly, he's our first conference POY/MVP since Marcel Boyce in 1986.

Congrats to Romeo Travis! This is a well deserved and outstanding honor. Romeo was a great player for the Zips and will someday enjoy seeing his jersey hung from the rafter along with the NCAA tournament banner that is forthcoming from this year.

OK, I will revise my originaly statement. I wouldnt rate him as the best player on this team. Either way, congrats.
