Rose Garden to host NCAA tourney in 2009

Hey, did you see this?

http://blog.oregonlive.com/sportsupdates/2008/03/rose_garden_picked_to_host_nca.html

Just today I was thinking that Portland hosting these games would be fun (really an odd thing for me to think since I haven't watched a single second of NCAA ball this year).

To get to 300, just today I learned that Western Kentucky is in the tournament.  I was born in Bowling Green, KY, so I guess that makes me a fan by default.  But Hilltoppers, what the heck is a hilltopper?.  Have you seen their mascot- big red blob. But they won, so go big red!

Here's to hoping Oregon does great next year
The top 4 seeds are protected so Oregon has a good chance of essentially playing home games in the first round if they are "top four seed good".

Oregon couldn't play there
Oregon is the 'host' school.  They put in the application, and it will be their staff working the game.  Therefore, they are ineligible to be placed at that site.  OSU, PSU, or UP would all theoretically be eligible.

For Oregon to play tourney games at the RG in the future, UP, PSU, or OSU would have to host the games.  Its not Oregon's home court, so its kind of stupid, but thats the rules.
