Ummm...to win a national title, you have to win consecutive games first.78-65 -
Creighton's hopes and dreams for this season are likely only exceeded by 2014 in the history of their program, and for that they get 150/1 and a four seed if everything falls their way? Lol! They fashion themselves as Judge Smalls, but when they speak all they hear is Al Czervick's voice. It must be so confusing for bluejayfan.Originally posted by WuShock16 View PostComment

Al Czervick > Judge Smails
Now, a more correct way for you to express your opinion would be to say, "Creighton's hopes and dreams for this season are likely only exceeded by 2014 in the history of their program, and for that they get 150/1 and a four seed if everything falls their way? Lol! They fashion themselves as Ty Webb, but when they speak all they hear is Judge Smails' voice. It must be so confusing for bluejayfan."There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.Comment

UNLV wants Shockers at home
I'd love to see this solely for personal reasons.

Al Czervick owned the lumber yard, plus businesses all across the globe. He was well connected, yet was a down to earth people person with lots of friends. Al had the coolest golf bag in the world, had hot chicks hanging all over him and knew how to party. Al was awesome!
Judge Smails was an egomanic with few friends. He had a Napoleon complex and was a cheat at golf. Smails overestimated his importance and talent. His only redeeming characteristic was his trampy neice, who had an incredible rack.There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body.

“We think it is only right that they would return one of those games and play us at the Thomas & Mack Center,” UNLV athletic director Tina Kunzer-Murphy said
Who is this schmuck and why does he think they are owed anything? Maybe if UNLV hadn't sucked last year we wouldn't have been a play-in team.Comment

Yea, I was wondering about that too. I thought 1 year was conference arranged and the next time was a buy game ... IE they accepted a check to come here? Or were they both conference arranged?Originally posted by Cdizzle View PostComment

Yikes. Usually teams don't say they feel OWED to get a return game when it's part of a dual-conference series (MVC-MWC). It's one thing to say, "Hey, we'd really like to have Wichita State come to Vegas", which is totally understandable.Originally posted by Cdizzle View Post
Although, I think our last three BracketBusters games were followed up with a return game, exactly two seasons afterwards (VCU, Davidson, Detroit). But I guess I'm unaware if that's just common courtesy. Regardless, that quote is dumb."In God we trust, all others must bring data." - W. Edwards DemingComment

That was part of the BracketBusters deal. The return games were originally the next season, and then they moved them to 2 years after.Originally posted by Kel Varnsen View Post
Return games are not a part of the conference challenge deal. Whining to whomever that you want the best team in the other league on your home court cause they owe you when you literally just got to play them and super shat the bed (including firing your coach) and their schedule the prior year is really tone-deaf.Last edited by Cdizzle; September 22, 2016, 05:46 PM.Comment

I don't know what you're talking about, that sounds like a perfect analog to Creighton.Originally posted by MoValley John View PostComment

The tone of that article is kinda weird. Like the UNLV side feels WSU is snubbing them or something. Odd.Originally posted by Anthroshock View Post
From a fan perspective, I can't imagine there's anyone in the WSU fanbase that objects to an away game to UNLV. If it turned into a perpetual H-H like Tulsa and SLU that would be awesome. Blame the MWC for the totally goofy matchups they seem to provide in the series, not us.Comment

That would be fine if Al Czervik wasn't used as a comparison.Originally posted by SHOCKvalue View Post

Perfect! Glad to see other quality "name" programs want to get the Shockers at their place too! Be great to see the Shocks with home and homes with UNLV, San Diego St, Gonzaga, etc. along with the Oklahoma schools from time to time. That's a positive UNLV wants us!FINAL FOURS:
