Players Era

I used to chat with TJs dad quite often via email and text. Their entire family was sure TJ was going to replace Hoiberg and were basically told as such until Pollard was told by the pres that the hire had to be someone with HC experience. As great as we have it now, I'm pretty glad that TJ got his feet wet at SDSU and UNLV before coming home. Not saying he wouldn't have been a great hire then, but you just never know, and things have worked out incredibly well so far.
Was it Rebel girl or UNLV rebel girl that came and sh*tposted about TJ when we hired him, that gal has a lot of crow to eat if she'd ever stop back. :)
 
So, you dont have a link to the official rules?
Have links and pod casts all saying same thing. Pods matter
But there is no rules link on the Era Players site.
No rules at all.

You know what is crazy Google AI had rules listed and it said the whole 2 pod thing is how they split them up. This was a couple of hours ago .

Now it changed. So that means data points changed somewhere.

Something stinks ;-)
 
I said we were gonna make the tournament once and do the real coaching search in March 2025.

Well... enjoying my time in Vegas at the moment! Crow tastes great in the desert
Both of us absolutely hammered in my living room after the win over Wisconsin, my buddy convinced me to buy Sweet 16 / Elite 8 tickets in Chicago.

So I flew halfway across the country to eat my delicious crow while it was very fresh.

My conspiracy theory is the organizers want to hand-pick who is in the money games to drive TV viewership. More people are going to tune in to watch Kansas than Iowa State, for example.
I know @isufbcurt doesn't agree, but I can certainly see the organizers creating matchups they want for the final round. I don't know wh we really ISU would fit into that and I wouldn't be surprised by a win or loss on day 3.

Does anyone know how they will announce the match-ups for tomorrow? I know it will be after the last game tonight, but I will want to get tickets as soon as I know when we will play.
Maybe the big 12 agreement to send 8 teams to this thing every year will help cyclones get into a $$$ game tomorrow.

Not until after UNLV is done playing Bama.

So maybe midnight PST
 
I feel like this could have been formatted so many other ways that would've been way simpler and made it more intriguing. But whatever glad our guys got paid and we got some high level basketball games

Yep, that again is the problem, there are all kinds of sites saying different things.

All the articles yesterday said one thing, then the people that wrote those articles tweet out today, that they cant figure out the system, yet they supposedly knew the system when they wrote the article.

Then TV saying it one way, online sites saying it another.

And nothing from the official pages of the actual official tournament accounts saying anything about how it works, who is where etc.

The players era X account is just posting games and results, but nothing official on who is where in the standings or how it works etc.

It would be nice if the TV guys actually address that there is confusion on the pods vs no pods and post something about what it is where the rules are, and why. You know they know there is questions, they follow X too, they can see the confusion and questions.

I see a lot of unhappy people with how this is set up online.

It would suck to play St Johns again

This is the closest thing I have found to them posting how it works.

The official Players Era account retweeted this that shows the overall standings form.
