90siouxfan Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 I observed some blurb about having a new style ID in order to fly, sounded like an impromptu trip to Detroit is behind the wheel. Quote

Expand It's a solo weekend trip where you drop $1800 on flight, Air BnB and game ticket, only to be the only person within 50 yards wearing green. The outcome feels like a kick in the nuts, but you don't really focus on that pain because you're busy dealing with verbal insults and the occasional physical contact from the opposing fan base.

Clark17 Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 Weekly Bracketology is out. I agree with Connelly's logic much more than Moy. Moy cited preserving bracket integrity for 2/7 thus putting 1 in Loveland. I would argue why would bracket integrity matter after moving 3 in the same bracket as 8? I do agree with moving Cornell to Albany but bracket integrity is out at that point. The 3rd. seed swapping makes sense too for attendance in Albany. Quote

I agree this does not protect the number 1 overall seed but that doesn't seem to matter (with the writers and past committees) past the first round. I think attendance would take precedence if it were today. Quote
