I remember in 1990, when Purdue lost a 2nd-round tournament game to Texas on a block in the final seconds. Gene Keady was REALLY UPSET in the post-game interview, telling the reporters that his kids were crying their eyes out in the locker room because the officiating throughout the game was awful.

Texas went on to beat Xavier in the Sweet Sixteen in their next game, before losing to Arkansas in the Elite Eight.

No, not a participation trophy.

A participation trophy is a trophy that goes to each and every player and team in the field.

A Final Four ring is is reserved for 4 teams out of 351 Division-1 teams in the NCAA ...... 4 out of 351, which is exactly 0.0114 %.


Somebody who pooh-pooh's a team's and/or a player's accomplishments such as that usually is a person who never played sports, and/or was horrible at them, and/or has no concept of the art of competition.

The other option is that they are fans of a team that did not make the tournament, so they want to piss on their rivals who did, and went to the Final Four. We call those people Loosiers.

It also could be Omaha just being Omaha.

He acted the same way when Butler made it to the national championship game in back-to-back years in 2010 and 2011 ...... sometimes, Omaha likes to fuck with people just for the sake of being contrary.
