None of the three mentioned are really centrally located. If you want a true central location about the best big venue you could have would be Austin. But yes that's outside. Since the will keep going with the one location the most fair thing to do would be a rotation. The three mentioned are the only sites that are indoor so that would be the options. The most fair rotation to all schools would be to have a site in each of the 4 regions.

Basketball has the ability to play all championship games on a Saturday, but I wouldn't have a problem with it. I enjoy that state tourney and it is a great atmosphere. You know as well as anyone, that I miss as few Tiger games as I can but even I will say it's more important for the parents to be there. Like I said I know it will never happen.

I have to agree all they will do is look at that attendance to give their reason. To me in all fairness to the fans it should be a neutral sight based on each game like the rest of the playoffs. Yes I know that won't happe but I think that championship game should be made more friendly for each teams fan. No team stuck with that early daytime game during the work week. Make the games more accessible for the parents and fans of the teams in the game. It should be a celebration for them instead of set up more as a money maker.

See people still missing the point at least from my perspective. Sure this is the time of years for a lot of games. I for one am not going to worry or complain about the schedule. We need these tests. But I do believe schools set up tournaments to favor "their" schools. Now you may draw the tough teams first, you do still have to beat them to win. Still doednt make sense to match up 2 of the top teams in the tourney in the first round. To me you want those matchups later on. The time issue also a setup when only one of those local schools play such a tight schedule it's pretty obvious that those schools were put in the best position to win. My whole point is that the tourneys should be set up as equal as they can. Sure we can still win in these circumstances but it definitely puts the other team in the best setup for the win.

Yes what if what if what if, what if the Tigers had played early that morning and Hightower would have played with an hour and a half rest.......the point isn't what could have been done by the Tigers.....yes they could have won......the point is things should have been as equal as possible in the tournament layout for all involved. Granted with a 3 team group they couldn't have played at the same time but they could have played a lot closer together.

I know that was more of a tongue in cheek remark towards remarks made a week or so ago. Not really towards you.

Oh and I mentioned the missed so I have to say Bush had a nice off the backboard assist to Jones for a dunk near the end!!
