While I understand "Chris Brooks" wanting to stand up for his team and make a push to get his team in, there is nothing anyone can do and both MC and UTD have to sit around until selection day anxious. Seems like a similar situation every year that teams think they are deserving and get left home...
Last year everyone speculated between a CTX team that was 26-13 in region (better win % than both teams this year with .667) and UT-Tyler who only lost 9 games all year, though i'm not sure about region record.
CB put up numbers against hard or ranked teams as well and said you went 9-11 in those games and you think you'll get in? CTX won 3 of 5 from #5 ranked UTT last year, 3 from #21 UMHB, 2 of 3 from Ozarks, 2 of 3 from Trinity (who made it to the regional), but the only downfall ws losing 4 of 5 to eventual champ McMurry, a similar situation that MC is in now in losing to the Champs.
CTX and UTT cancelled each other out last year pretty much and that regional was in Abilene, a mere few hourse drive to location, while this years is at Linfield... I just don't see either team getting in and would be surprised if they did. I would be happy for them no doubt, but a tad skeptical as to what changed from last year to this year to not either of those teams in.
Unfortunetly, the West region is too damn big and nobody wants to change anything while the power is in the East (Southern MAINE?
??) is the number one ranked team, a team from Maine? Come on!!!! Oh well I hope one of those 2 teams gets in this year and plays UTT in the championship of the regional and the winner makes some noise at the World Series.
