Bet a lot of Tennessee fans presumed they were catching up to Bama in Sweet 16 appearances this year.

No one would say “remember the year Frank Martin finished 4th in the SEC?” They would reference the final 4.


It's an inaccurate comparison.

Nobody would suggest devaluing a Final Four run...it is the obsession with the Elite 8 arkie has that is puzzling. It is a good accomplishment but not near that of a title or Final Four appearance and even slightly behind a conference title.

What would the Elite 8's of arkie look like next to conference titles of the same schools. That would be a better comparison than Sweet 16's, because an Elite 8 and Reg Title are more closely connected in value. I also think it would show that arkie has a great basketball history but not in such a weird way.

Well reasoned retort.

Not sure why your Elite 8's compared to Auburn's Sweet 16's means anything

No, don't be sheep. The NCAA makes all of its money on the tourney and has convinced everyone through a 30 year marketing ploy of the false premise you suggest. Think for yourself.

What?? You are really doing some mental gymnastics here.

Let’s be honest, everything else was posted just so you could slide this one in at the end. I admire the dedication to the post.

I see you’re back with the “tourney doesn’t actually matter as much” take

99% of everyone disagrees with you, and it’s not because you’re the only one thinking for yourself. It’s because it’s a terrible opinion

It isn't. The NCAA has marketed the tournament...it's main money source...for years in a way that people are convinced that winning 3 games potentially against inferior opponents should be celebrated more than winning a season long league title. I readily admit the lack of reasoning skills it takes to accept that premise is fascinating to me.

I've never said that...I've argued its value increases the further you advance. Stop looking at the issue so simplistically. Exercise your complex reasoning skills.

You've got it all wrong. It's his superior complex reasoning skills. You're all sheep.

Okay forget Elite Eights for a second...

I have never seen a fanbase get so arrogant acting over accomplishing NOTHING of note recently. Lord help us if you guys actually win something of note anytime soon.

Can't wait to watch you blow out Gonzaga. Go Arky.



Your HDS (Hog derangement syndrome) is showing again, you've melted more than ice in Phoenix lately. Give it a couple days and you'll be back to how your Baseball team is going to do what you swore your basketball team was going to do.
