meatwad Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 "It's hard to believe we didn't get in," Dambrot said. "I can't figure it out. Only nine teams in the country had more road/neutral wins than us [13]. This is on the league. I can't blame us. We did what we had to do. If i'm not mistaken, this was said during the Channel 5 interview and he was talking about the NCAA not the NIT. I could be wrong, but i know he said something very similar to that.

meatwad Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 I love this though..... "I'm as flabbergasted as anybody," said Rick Boyages, the MAC's director of basketball operations. "These [NIT selection committee] guys get every piece of material we've got on our teams."This is my job. I don't understand this." B.S.

So you're saying that he knew he hadn't done enough for Akron and wasn't really surprised. And the mission to scapegoat everyone on the planet continues....

meatwad Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 I wasn't necessarily saying "B.S." to his comment, but to the travesty of this whole situation in general. It's late, i'm pissed, tired, and have too much homework to do tonight.... boooo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip-zip Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Guys, This is why having websites like this are so valuable. Before this, we'd have no way to exchange all of this information, PLUS have the ability to gather fans together to exercise our collective voice.This kinda reminds me of the way I felt when the NCAA didn't give us a bowl bid Charlie Frye's senior year. In that instance, we had the best record in the country of any team NOT going to a bowl game. Sound familiar?What does the NCAA have against Akron?

AND EVERY TEAM IN THE TOP-20 IN THAT POLL WENT TO EITHER THE NCAA OUR NIT.......except AKRON???????????Are you kidding me??????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sound familiar?What does the NCAA have against Akron?Oh man, I forgot about that!!!!And don't forget how our soccer team routinely gets screwed by NCAA.I'm starting to think it truly is an "us against the world" scenario.
