I would say mostly for bragging rights. That's really about it when it comes to this site. I can almost guaranttee you that players and coaches don't care about the seed, as much as they do the match-up.
People like to claim they know what the committee members are thinking, but you have no idea what actually happens.
And you do? Over the years, I have seen the actual data that the selection committee members use and I don't recall it ever saying anything about what seeds the teams were in their respective conference tournies.
I will also bet that guys like Ron Wellman and Mike Bobinski aren't going to give a MVC team any additional credit for being the 1, 2 or 3 seeds if they all tied for the regular season title.
Cpacmel, you used to be a pretty good poster but you've changed a bit. It seems like you don't convey the ISU-WSU love you used to have in the past. Did St Louis sour your taste even though you won the game last year?
I got no issues with the Shockers. Actually have met some fine folks that support WSU. And I don't think others have a problem with the way I post here Baller. If anything has changed, it's the fact I have little patience or tolerance for posters who can't make a point without making it personal (ie name calling). I think over the years I have also developed a pretty good eye to spot posters who only want to flame. Sound like anyone you might know?
And since you decided to call me out by name, why not just post under your old screenname? Why the deception?
