Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Tuesday, October 02, 2007

Jody Conradt returns to MSU. She talks about the 1985 Final Four the Longhorns hosted. Heavy favorites, they were upset by the Hilltoppers.
"It was humiliating to come home and all these people had tickets," Conradt said. "But we went ahead and did a bang-up job hosting and had the coaches' convention and all of it. Coaches still tell me to this day that they thought it was the best Final Four ever. Up to that point, I don't think there had been much of a push to make it an 'event.'

"I think a lot of coaches went back from that and thought that they could make it happen for their place."
