SEC Tournament a disaster

by Bret Sims 3/15/2008 9:07:00 AM

It would be unrealistic to expect tournament officials to prepare for a possible tornado hitting the Georgia Dome.

It woundn't be unrealistic for them to have had a plan B in mind in case, under any circustance the tournament would need to be moved to a different site for any reason.

I find it unacceptable that the remaining games will be played at Georgia Tech's Alexander Stadium starting today when UK and Georgia hook up at noon.  The winner then has to play six hours later.  Are you kidding me?  This is the best they can come up with?

In addition, only players, media and player family members will be allowed to attend the games! 

I ask you, how screwed up is that?

Don't give me "They couldn't have planned for a possible tornado".  There should have been a plan B for anything because this is pathetic.

I'm going to give you the "are you kidding me, they couldn't plan for a tornado" line. Seriously. At least the games going to be played. What's the big deal? I think that is a good Plan B, considering. Did you see those rafters shaking? Everyone is damn lucky that an immense tragedy didn't occur. Plus having to play 6 hours later, wah, just get over it. Life isn't fair. Deal with it.

The only thing I don't like about this whole situation is that the people that bought tickets to the game won't be able to attend now.

This is why they shouldn't schedule the finals on Sunday...just in case. Having the finals on Saturday not only gives teams an extra day of rest, especially if they've played three days in a row, but it also gives you a Plan B in the event of something like this.

The right thing would have been to just cancel the tournament. Forcing the Georgia/Kentucky winner to win two games in the same day is outright ridiculous.
