The Flaming Burning Stinking & Predictable Disaster that is Creighton Basketball

[ShockerFever]

ESPN, holy cow maybe that will get some viewers out of it since not on FS1. O wait never mind, they wont its the NIT

We both play at the same time on Tuesday. Our ratings on trutv will smash what they get on ESPN.

But hey, they're on ESPN.

In the NIT.

I'm probably going to catch all kinds of hell for this -- and don't get me wrong because I love the Shockers and love what Fred and Ron have done for this program and would not trade them for any other players -- but hasn't the argument that we would have a much higher seed (in your case you are suggesting a 3 seed) without those three nonconference games we lost during Fred's injury kinda lost its punch when you factor in the fact that our three WORST losses came with him in the lineup. Just saying -------

So WSU was expected to go undefeated with Fred in the lineup?

K. Got it.

Sure it has. It's why I said 3 seed and not 1 seed.

This works here also... listen to Cal and then read Eamonn Brennan's article below the video, "All you need to know about every team in the NCAA tournament field".

The moved the article...

Given how the committee seemed to be enamored with top 50 wins this year, it's a reasonable position to take.

Some of you are so sensitive. Did we have some horrible luck this year? YES. Do I still go to CU message boards? NO (i don't give a F**K about them or what they have to say). Sure you can be excited about us making it and them not and gloat all you want about it. As far as us being a hammy or a few shots away from being a 3 seed, I agree in THEORY, but that doesn't change the FACT that we were the second to last team in.

FIFY

If you don't give a **** about them, then who cares if we clown them or not?

FACT: WSU dances
FACT: Creighton is going to a dance rehearsal

Next.

We are in and we deserved a 10 seed IMO, but for some ridiculous reason we almost missed out. Creighton is exactly where they deserve to be. My original point, which some of you helped me make, was that when luck (good or bad) is involved, it's often better to entertain a humble perspective. Just because they don't doesn't mean I can't.

I don't. If you re-read the thread with a more objective mindset you will see that I just said I wasn't excited about doing it myself and I tried to express why.

Accuses others of being sensitive.

Goes on profanity-laced defense of previous point.

I missed the internet.

I wasn't referring to you, but if you call that "profanity-laced" then maybe I was referring you. :)

If you want to make fun of Creighton, do it, if you don't, don't. Just don't fight about it. Also, the only time I want to be humble is when I'm around the Iron Sheik. The Iron Sheik knows how to make you humble.

The Clink -- I like that. Hope the beer is flowing for the No Interest Tournament; otherwise it may be a quiet and empty night.

The NIT is now under the NCAA and beer cannot be sold except in private suites. Here is link http://i.turner.ncaa.com/dr/ncaa/nca...TeamManual.pdf to Jan 17, 2013 instructions to institutions, which at the bottom of page 15 has the following:

On dates of competition, no alcoholic beverages or “nonalcoholic beer” shall be sold or dispensed for public or private consumption anywhere in the facility property, other than in privately-owned suites specifically exempt by facilitycontract. (Such beverages may not be delivered / brought to the site during the time that the public has access to the facility for an NIT game

You obviously don't understand Omaha culture and have never attended an event at the CLink. Every drinking fountain in the building is plumbed directly to a keg. The Keystone XL pipeline wasn't cancelled due to environmental issues, but because the route was on a collision course with the 36" InBev pipeline that runs from St Louis directly to the CLink. A beer waterfall has been installed in centerfield at TD Ameritrade Park, that is why the NCAA is selling beer at the CWS.
