Not being a basketball fan in any way, shape or form, I have to ask why he should lose his job.

Gotta love and SID with a persecution complex.

Way to go MidAmerica Nazarene! Represent for your Nazarene brethren!

He likely caused several thousand dollars of water damage to his office from all the crying.

Well, just read this and it should be clear:

Oklahoma Baptist's hopes of a national tournament fell victim to the NAIA's desire to greater attendance Friday in a 64-63 loss to MidAmerica Nazarene University.

MidAmerica Nazarene is in the tournament as champion of the Heart of America Athletic Conference, a conference courted by the NAIA it move up from Division II to boost attendance in Kansas City. The move, which included keeping the HAAC commissioner as the director of officials, worked for the association but at the expense of the Bison.

Fourth-grade level writing, if that.

Fourth-grade level writing befits the schoolyard level of sportsmanship, though, doesn't it?

But I thought SIDs were supposed to be homers.

The homer isn't the issue.

Was it an official press release? Or was it just a web posting?

Because there is a difference.

And it's not marked as a 'release' on the link provided.

My guess (just based on experience with other colleges and universities) is that it was a Web posting that also served as a press release.

This is the way it was written in the recap on the school's website. I suspect that this is a rewrite from the original post that was mentioned above. Still gets the point across that they think there was some home-cooking going on.

"The game was played just 21 miles from the MNU campus and in front of a partisan Pioneer crowd. Champions of the Heart of America Athletic Conference, the Pioneers were unseeded entering the tournament. But they were able to bounce the second-seeded Bison in just their second Division I tournament game.

The Heart of America Conference, with several teams in the Kansas City metropolitan area, was courted by the NAIA to move up from Division II. The move helped to boost attendance at the Kansas City tournament sessions. It also meant trouble for the Sooner Athletic Conference, however. Along with MNU's victory over the No. 2 seed, HOA member William Jewell knocked out the top seed, SAC champion Rogers State, 76-73 in a first round game Wednesday night."

I like the most recent headline under Men's Basketball News:

Bison Take Life

I'm pretty sure William Jewell is still pissed about being falsely accused in the Atlanta Olympics deal. That might have been a motivation in the win ...

That was actually Richard Jewell.
