Thanks Grip. If I had a re-do, I'd add:

5. Individual Champions > Team Trophy for us this year.

lol I was thinking the same thing. Dude trying to sound all reasonable about expectations of individual champs instead of a top team trophy. I’ll be tickled pink just to get someone into the finals.

Nah, bro. No expectations for this tournament (except some mid afternoon yelling at the TV Thur/Fri).

If I had my way, I'd take individual champ over team trophy.

Well I like the Cobra Kiowa handle although we differ on the team trophy vs individual champ goal.

Thanks for the hazing, makes me feel young.

Thanks bro, appreciate it.

A team trophy in a season after loosing 7 NCAA qualifiers and Swafford (who I think would have at least qualified) is one to be proud of and a credit to coaching staff, "no moral victories" be damned.

Where I'm coming from is I think crowning individuals is key to elevating beyond being the #2 program. It's a must to gain an advantage with recruits and portal candidates and create that "deep room" that's often cited on this board. Plus, we ain't gonna win a title this year so I'd rather start making progress for the future. JMO

Also sucks that now to be a trophy team, you have to finish top 3. I swear the NCAA is bunch of azzholes.

Rebranded is right. Who joins a board, announces their arrival and posts twenty times but basically says nothing. Somebody wanted a restart.

Three is the right number for trophies, never more.

Has that been confirmed for this weekend? D2 and D3 still gave out trophies for top 4.

Yeah, let’s see how long it takes for “Krailure”, fifty thousand exclamation points, and every statement posed as a question to show up in his posts.

Two bronze medals? Never understood that.

 

[Cobra Kiowa]

Damn y'all, save some hate for Carl.

Good point on two bronzes. It needed to be fixed for sure but doing it this year when we're already a little extra challenged team trophy-wise only added to the frustration.
