Despite the loss, we have a lot of reasons to be extremely proud of this team this year.

Seeing numerous post games I am more convinced that given the right circumstance I might very well enjoy throat punching Bob Lutz. Not proud just sayin' and I would politely say as much in person given the opportunity. Bob is a niggling naysayer of negativity and it really shouldn't be that way. Only one post game question was about the future. Bizarre.

You mean 28 points for MA...FVV wasn't even close.

Yes, me type so slow and compound that with something that I did not know till now that I said or meant. WOW--that was a spooky senior moment misprint of not 'the here and now' but rather something FVV will do in the near future? Dunno but my bad.

I like the "near future" piece...let's hope that near future is a week from Thursday or Friday. :)

A thought to ponder as we move forward

Road-Hardened:The national championship is won by 6 (or 7) games on the road. Only 68 teams have winning records on the road.

nah.. he's just being a little pouty because the shockers lost.

Well uh... yah?

Let me guess, you're supposed to be thrilled with a loss?


You're deplorable.

[BOBB]

Cle definitely had a virus that prevented him from finding Wragge. Team played hard and Marcus gave us all he had and more.

They didn't win the game but I couldn't be more proud of the way they battled this weekend. Great job fellas, you've got nothing to hang your heads about!

Great comeback at the end, but the last possession was handled badly.

No it wasn't. You can argue for calling the timeout to set up a play, but that comes at a cost.

Creighton can set up a defense or choose to foul, not even giving us a three ball opportunity.

You can argue strategy, but you can't say that playing it out was "handled badly".

Hey KC, did you remember what time the game started today?

[KC Shox]

Same old broken record, what is it now, 27 straight years? It's become so common place, anger doesn't even enter the equation after a loss. Like I said before, at least we're dancing to make this loss easier to swallow. Although I see our RPI dropped to 40 (Thank you Charleston Southern for losing to a 15 - 20 Liberty team who won the auto bid).

I will gladly trade an Arch Madness trophy for a dance ticket. I feel good about our chances to advance in the Dance..

Congratulations to a very talented Creighton team. Just wow. They are freakin' good.
BUT....so our my Shockers!!! I wouldn't be at all surprised to see either team in Elite 8 or Final 4.


GO SHOCKS!!!!

I would be happy with a 2-2 split with them this year
