We heard way more about it than the old Big 12/Pac 10 challenge

How mumped up of a thing would oscar have had to say during his token interview to not get hired?

Full quote:

Just my opinion, I don’t think we got the bang for the buck. To have a game in the middle of all our conference games, I didn’t think we got as much publicity as I would have hoped. I understand we’re in the bottom half of the league but from what we were told two years ago that we would get great publicity … I watched four of our Big 12 games and I didn’t see any highlights of our game. They always put the graphic up that we won and who is the leading scorer and all that stuff but we finished our game and I saw parts of a lot of different games so maybe there was little more publicity, but if we’re going to give up a bye game during the league and put a 19th league game in basically in the middle of the season, I hope we could get more bang for the buck. Obviously, Kansas-Kentucky got a lot of attention and the Oklahoma game got a lot of attention – and rightfully so because they are the top teams in the country – but from my point of view and our team’s point of view I think we could have gotten a little more attention and a little more publicity out of it.

he is such a rough ridin' loser

Pretty sure that's actually a #oscar script I wrote.

The pac12 challenge didn't occur in the middle of conference season, iirc.

The biggest and near unanimous beef big 12 coaches have voiced is that it took their bye out of the "gruelling" round Robin conference schedule.

['taterblast]

are there any other coaches that say crap like that?

[HerrSonntag]

Also, ESPN would have tossed us more coverage, had more student's showed up.

I think this was genius by John Smallwood and ESPN to put this together on Jan 31. It's amazing the stage we had all day long. there were other big games that got ignored.

Our guys were excited leading up to it. Timing was great. Weekend where it was promoted hard.

I can't reiterate it enough, for 3rd year in row the Big 12 is the No. 1 RPI league and we validated it in the SEC challenge.

That dumbshit needs to look in the mirror if he wonders why KSU basketball doesn't receive any publicity

[CNS]

Yep.  If he wants attention, win a bunch more.

yeah no crap

[TownieCat]

The "no byes during the conference schedule" concern seems like an easy fix - start conference play a week earlier. The Big Ten, ACC, AAC, and Big East all had conference games in December.

I loved having this game in late January and hope ESPN keeps it there.

They most certainly will. ESPN and the Big 12 seem thrilled. Even the SEC seems fine with it even though this seems like a mismatch. One stupid shitbird voicing dissent.

I thought you meant the whining, not publicity in general.

[Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)]

I do recall (anecdotally) other coaches complaining about this prior to the games.  Fwiw

I think Drew would probably greet the death of his dog with unbridled excitement, however.  "Oh man, that's great! He'll love dog heaven. When do I get a new dog?!?!? Can I name him Chippers?!?!?"

but if oscar doesn't talk, how will the fans know to not expect too much? conundrum city, usa.

Or how would the players Know to "MOVE"

[slobber]

Does anyone ever call Oscar out on this crap?

Agreed. They should do what they used to do with Bracket Busters and not create the matchups until a few weeks before the games. Designate 5 home and 5 road teams from each conference, and then create the best games with what is available.

Not much would have changed this year, but if they are going to keep this going it's something to consider.

no one wants to have that long awkward convo

The most awkward thing about it is when they go to type up his quote. "Is there a period there? Hmmm, maybe there? There? crap."

Have only the top 6 from each conference play.  The wednesday schools can have their cherished bye week.

Both very good ideas. ESPN will likely keep all 10 though, content is precious in January.
