I leave for Maui in less than 24 hours. Maybe I'll just stay there until the Shox play. 8)

Ok, so I came back from Hawaii. I'll be going back in '09 though for a little tourney.

Maui-Wowee, at least we've got ample time to save up! I know this nice bed and breakfast on the windward side...

It's a good opportunity for the program with very respected and high profile competition.

Go Shocks!!!!

I'd go for a little Maui Wowee!

Any word on who the other teams playing in Maui are going to be? The article said the rest of the field would be announced at the end of this month...by my calendar that's only one more day!

[rrshock]

Well, it's none of these teams: Alabama, Indiana, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Oregon, Saint Joseph’s and Texas. They're all playing in 08.
Those teams were announced this past January, so I really don't think we'll hear about it until later. Unless the staff finds out something different.

And it won't be the 07 teams either: Arizona State, Duke, Illinois, LSU, Marquette, Oklahoma State, Princeton

I would guess possibly a mix of these teams:
2002
Arizona State
Chaminade
Gonzaga
Indiana
Kentucky
Massachusetts
Utah
Virginia

2003
Central Michigan
Chaminade
Dayton
Hawaii
Ohio State
San Diego State
Santa Clara
Villanova

2004
BYU
Chaminade
Iowa
Louisville
North Carolina
Stanford
Tennessee
Texas

2005
Arizona
Arkansas
Chaminade
UCONN
Gonzaga
KU
Maryland
Mich St.

2006
DePaul
Ga Tech
Kentucky
Memphis
OU
Purdue
UCLA

I appears that they use the same teams over and over again.
Also, there is typically an ACC, Big 12, Pac 10, and 2 of the 3 out of the Big East, SEC, and Big 10. Puts us in some pretty good company if it plays out that way. Of course 2003 was a strange year.

This link shows the past fields, so you can all take a peek at who has been out there.

Hopefully KU is in!

We'll keep getting tourney offers. I was chatting with someone who works for the Valley and the word is out (and not just within the Valley) that Shocker fans travel. Kinda funny they are thinking about moving the MVC tourney closer to those WSU and Creighton fan bases ($$$$). My how perceptions change in a few years time. LOL.

Money talks, and it talks really loud. Same can be said for K-State and their bowl games. That's why they get the invite, cause half the state heads for wherever they are.

[rrshock]

Since this came up again, I just looked and it still doesn't have the 2009 field listed, but I bet we could find them by digging a little.

[RoyalShock]

I found a re-post of the article on a message board (which I won't repost here), but there were no other definite participants for the CBE Classic, though Iowa and Texas were being discussed.

[SubGod22]

I know Marshall mentioned it on the coaches show I think it was. I know he said we'd be hosting and he named a couple of others that would host as well.
