would you take oscar winning the b12 regular season outright, breaking seff’s streak, and losing in the first round of the ncaa and b12 if it meant we also had to keep oscar for 4 more years?

Yes, but partially because I think we are keeping oscar for 4 years anyway

I mean, making a deep run in the tournament is super fun, but unless you win it all you still just get a participation ribbon, right? I’d probably put a FF on par with a conference championship, but that’s it.

ya it is
I want oscar gone tomorrow
I don’t care about conference records w/o corresponding ncaa success.  because anyone with a brain will tell you that tournament success is how you grade coaches and programs

so far the consensus is that people will ignore oscar’s history of suck shittingness in the ncaa just to crap on bill self

No.  I remember the elite 8 run way more than winning a share of the Big 12 Championship.  You know why?  Because having a chance to still be playing in April is what people equate to a programs overall success and so do I.

In case you forget about that championship again, just refer to the title of our entire rough ridin' sports board.

Do we have banners of our conference championships hanging in the octagon or do we have final fours hanging?

They are just different.

I have a high appreciation for a conference title simply because they are so rare for our program. It's a very cool thing.

However, it can never match the excitement and emotion of an elite 8 run. l won't deny that.

8 teams get to the elite 8 every year.  only 1 (MAYBE 2) get a dr. pepper.  factor that into your calculus and smoke it.

using history to predict the future says that oscar won’t go anywhere in the ncaa

a new coach w/o the dr pepper at least has a chance

12.5% of tornament teams make the elite 8.  10% of big 12 teams drink the 23 flavors.

Wrong.

There are 351 D1 teams.  Eight of which make an elite 8 = 2.2% chance a team makes an elite 8 every year.  There are 10 teams that can win a Dr Pepper, so either 10/20% of them will.

Apply Scarcity Principle of Social Psychology and the more scarce a thing is the higher importance it has.  Therefore making an elite 8 is more important and has a higher value placed on it.
