Not sure what "soon" means. But take that for what it's worth.

The more I think about the outright part .. I'm not sure I really care. We win the next 3, we get to hang another banner. Back to Back to Back to Back MVC Champs. Sure ISU gets to hang one. Maybe that will be enough motivation for them to continue to be good in future seasons. Then if UNI could stop being only a February team, we might end up with more chances for quality wins in future seasons.

If both teams win out that would leave us as the #2 seed and I'm willing to accept that. It means I don't have to take a half day of vacation to watch them play at noon on Friday. Being the #2 they will get the late game. I know that means they have less rest before the next game.
Don't get me wrong I'd rather win outright but above is my justification for sharing.

WSU making the tourney is my number one concern. If that doesn't happen the rest of this post is irrelevant. Assuming we're in though...As much as I dislike ILSU, particularly Muller, I dislike the P5/ESPN/Palm establishment more. As long as we're in I want to see ILSU in as well and for them to win games because I think both teams are worthy (based on my eye test whatever that's worth).

My dream scenerio is WSU and Ill St win out and meet the mvc championship game. And with a little over 10 minutes left to go in the game HCDM calls a timeout and he and Doug Elgin walk down to the Shockers bench and ask HCGM to let Ill St keep it with in 10 points so there's a chance the valley gets 2 teams in the dance...... :)Marge: The plant called and said that if you don't come in tomorrow, don't bother coming in Monday.
Homer: WOOHOO! Four day weekend.

Originally posted by Aargh View PostIllinois State is looking more beatable the more games they play. I don't think they'll survive @UNI.
Of their 9 MVC wins, only 1 was by double digits. In this year's MVC, that is really weak.
ISUr might lose at UNI, but I think even the Redbirds C+ game would be enough to win.
