Mike Bohn didn't want us in the NCAA tournament. Tournament payouts have to be shared with the conference, gate receipts don't. Since we're not participating in conference revenue sharing, Bohn saw a chance to get 3-4 more sellouts at the CEC with an NIT bid and worked some magic with the selection committee to keep us out.

I remember being about 1 of 15 students in attendance along with 500 other people max.....we lost by 25 points that day
Stupid theory...absolutely stupid
It was 05-06 and we lost by 18. I walked in after halftime without a ticket. More than 500 were in there though
Just looked it up, CUBuffs.com says the attendance was 2890.
I feel with this team we can get quite a few fans, I plan on going to at least one NIT game.

Most conspiracy theories are. The exclusion of CU in the field of 64 is even stupider. There has to be an explanation.
OOC shedule.......
cu=325.
play somebody.
Can't beat 6 top 50 teams without playing them, dumbass....
I seem to remember us kicking your arrogant red asses too.
Go **** yourself all the way to the Big Te, er Eleve, er uh we can't actually count that ****ing high. You'll all fit right in.

GTFO with that weak shiznit. We finished 5th in the Big 12 and made it to the conference semi finals. We beat KSU three times, twice in Kansas. We beat Missouri, ranked #9 at the time. We beat Texas, who was ranked #3 at the time. We played a plenty tough schedule thank you very much. One helluva lot tougher than Virginia Commonwealth, UAB, etc.
Even Mel Gibson wouldn't subscribe to that one....and if there is more than 4000 people at the CEC for the NIT, Id be shocked

"We went to bowls for XX number of years." Not hard to get six wins a year in football when four of them are East Central Barber College, The University of Northern Alaska, St. Desperation, and The Central Kansas College for Amputees and Neuromuscular Diseases.
Oh by the way, which bracket are the mighty Cornhuskers in? We have an argument about being left out, KU doesn't.
Then it's time to rally!
puke and rally?Then it's time to rally!
Well, at least I'm doing it in the right order...
Bohn wanted us in the NCAAs. No doubt.
Hopefully we'll rally and be a great NIT site now, though. I know I'll be there.

BCS must've hacked Sacky's account.
The early losses to a few teams away like Georgia and Harvard, and the schedule were good reasons. I am as upset as anyone, but to me the loss that really killed us was away at Iowa State. I can ever remember commentary at the time that the game would be a dagger in the heart of the tournament chances.
