Skilled95 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Posted March 5, 2012 I say move the Girls and Boys Basketball Tournament to the Dallas-Fort Worth Area. The metro plex is growing down there, and I'm pretty sure they got more nicer venues, and better arena's.

WOSgrad Posted March 5, 2012 Report Posted March 5, 2012 I agree, a more central location. If they do rotate, it should be a true rotation. Not have Mark Cuban do to the basketball tournament what Jerry Jones tried to do to the football championships.

If you are competing for a state championship in Texas, you need to compete for it in the capitol of the state - Austin!
AshlyHasBeen Posted March 5, 2012 Report Posted March 5, 2012 Unless there is a change of scheduling I think it should be. I say rotate Houston (Toyota Center), Dallas (Amerian Airlines Center) and San Antonio (AT&T Center)

I don't think Houston is the answer.
cbosha Posted March 5, 2012 Report Posted March 5, 2012 What was the rule violation. I am simply looking for some rooms.

cbosha Posted March 5, 2012 Report Posted March 5, 2012 I really don't know. Please explain so that I won't make the same mistake..

Dick Vitale Posted March 5, 2012 Report Posted March 5, 2012 A little friendly rivalry is good for the board, WOSgrad! 8)....Its entertaining, at least! :D

Dick Vitale Posted March 5, 2012 Report Posted March 5, 2012 Its HJ/Silsbee, man..thats what they do! ;)...anyway, back on THIS topic, I think they should leave the boys state tourney right where it is...Tradition is what makes it great...They should do something about that darn music festival though! >:( 8)

AshlyHasBeen Posted March 5, 2012 Report Posted March 5, 2012 No offense but SxSW is ALOT bigger than state economically speaking.

Guest Air Bisquit Posted March 5, 2012 Report Posted March 5, 2012 [quote name="cbosha" post="1192587" timestamp="1330978274"]I shouldve written "you don't know what my intentions were." I didn't realize that people could be so sensitive.[/quote]Leave it alone dude. The games are over, sadly both teams lost..Leave the tournament in Austin.
bullets13 Posted March 6, 2012 Report Posted March 6, 2012 they should move it to the montagne center so i could conveniently attend...
