This also shows what people think of the Golden Window field nationally: Quote Link to comment
seaofred92 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Well. SLU and LSU are now out of the event: Quote Link to comment

SLU and LSU are now out of the event: SIUE will play something called "University of Health Sciences and Pharmacy in St. Louis" so they get a third game.

ECisGod Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 McNeese State is available. They only have 24 games scheduled and don't play again until 11/30 against NAIA school Bacone College. Maybe they'd like to get a couple extra games in. They will already be in Lincoln so why not stick around and play a game or two. Quote Link to comment
TonyStalloni Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 It seems like this is game of musical chairs. We will make up the final pairings when the music stops. 1 Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 So, St. Louis and LSU pull out of the tournament to go play each other? WTF??? Quote Link to comment
seaofred92 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Sounds like San Francisco is out too: Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 So it's going to get totally cancelled and Nebrask will probably play a couple of the remaining teams in individual games. Quote Link to comment

I hope we have a long memory concerning future " contracts" with the musical chairs teams bailing at the last minute. 2 Quote Link to comment

seaofred92 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I get canceling it and maybe I’m over simplifying it but why wouldn’t we call Cincinnati (no MTE) get McNeese to stay and then add the two teams that just pulled out of Gulf Coast Showcase (ECU + Indiana State) and if we need filler then add Nebraska Wesleyan or UNK or Omaha or Peru State or someone local that would die at a chance to play? I was really excited for this event and theres still teams out there to play. Wish we would make it happen. Quote Link to comment
