Wait, what? Creighton lost in the tourney and moved on anyway; how does that happen?

My sarcasm meter appears to be working but needs a bit of calibration to get a proper reading. Could you verify?

The Screw in St. Lou...

I could really care what CU does or does not do now that they are no longer in the Valley or even play us.

What matters is: Will the complete meltdown of arguably one of the top MVC teams, within two years after joining the Big East, hurt our chances of getting a future invitation to join a conference whose TV money is significantly more than what we receive in the Valley?

No, because WSU and Creighton are two entirely different situations in many ways. WSU will be judged on whatever it offers to any league smart enough to be interested. Its non-football status is far more likely to be a factor than the struggles of the Jayboys, and that's an issue that has already been covered endlessly in nearly an infinite number of threads.

13 minutes into their game against Villanova last night, CU had 9 turnovers, 7 fouls, and 6 points.

Believe me...I know all about 1.9. I was just curious if the post I quoted wasn't actually aware of it or was being sarcastic.

With HCGM it would that at least 2 years before we dominated that crappy league

$1 beer night at the game tonight. Considering the low end of their tickets on stubhub have been selling for around $8, this could be a cheap get drunk night for Omaha's homeless!

Imagine what their RPI would be like without that win over OU.

No joke, true story here, but if you type in Creighton D to google, the first predicted result they think you're trying to search is Creighton Dollar Beer Night.

That's epically awesome.

Can anyone imagine what their attendance figures would be like if they played at an on-campus facility that served no alcohol?

Can you say Newman? Friends? East High?

And on top of it, Creighton Dental School is pretty high up there on being renowned.

Is that sarcasm? I know nothing about Creighton's dental school.

Not sarcasm, they have a good school of dentistry. Have had a few friends go there for school. My point was that you'd think Creighton Dental or Creighton Dentistry or Creighton Dentist would be above Creighton Dollar Beer Night when not trying to make a joke about Creighton's lack of defense.
