Mid-Majors!?!

just a few things....first off before we get too far into the subject at hand i'd like for us to take care of some chores. We need to decide if the the blog is going to be open or closed, if we want it to show up on search engines or not, etc..... As far as these things go i don't care if it's open or closed, i just didn't want to open it unless everyone was cool with that. I don't see us weighing in on too many social issues. I'm not afraid of people knowing my opinion anyway. Some people might be running for office or something though and i don't want them to feel afraid.

Now for the mid-majors, i think they're getting more respect of late (mostly since George Mason). The seeding thing doesn't bother me at all. If they're seeded high and lose they ruin it for all the other mid-majors. Seeding them lower gives them inspirational material for the locker room, and makes the Cinderella Theme better. The real place where i agree with Jeff is the 1st round matchups, i know they have fancy formulas for all that but those playing other mid-majors really got screwed. It screws the others also, because now much fewer mid-majors get through to the 2nd round and so on. This makes the overall representation less and gets them less in the future. Other than the 14-16 seeds you can pretty much play your way out of the seeding problem, but the first round matchup, that's a problem. I think conspiracy is a little strong, but i do think they got messed over.

Also, i made every author an admin so do what you need/want to do, but be responsible about it; don't go kicking people off unless we have a vote or whatever. Don't edit others' posts just if you need something different or want to change the layout/background/overall look just do it and we can always change it back if everyone hates it. Be sure to weigh in on the open/closed and whatever other settings you care about.
