Now that your school is doing the same and might do it more often than some Shox fans would like, it's totally fine by you and you say "it has run it's course". We all felt that way a long time ago, but you constantly argued that it made them inferior. My how your tune has changed.
What's utterly hilarious is an SIU fan being the catalyst for this discussion. I could understand a blueblood, a DJA, or any CU fan doing it, but an SIU fan who had disappeared from the previous Valley discussion board for so long that he was virtually forgotten. Yes, it's quite hilarious.
The thing that you refuse to acknowledge or understand is the length of use of a rented facility. You're suggesting that playing one game a year is the same as playing your entire season at a rented facility. That's the big point you are not comprehending. Every prominent D1 school is now playing one maybe two games away from their home arenas. KU, KSU, OU, OSU, MU, Illinois, Tulsa, etc, etc, etc does it. And that is not the issue.
If you can't figure out the difference in scheduling one game at another facility vs. an entire season at another facility, then there is no point in arguing this out any further.
