    Beef and Steak Lovers

    If Creighton Loses Today...?

    Of course, but I think IcSyU's point was about you questioning the committee leaving out a team which will likely end up with an RPI in the 20s, two wins against the RPI top 10, a third place finish in the Big 12 and 22 overall wins if Illinois State earns the auto bid from the MVC.

    Cyclone Alley Twitter Chat

    I think the reason and rationale for Cyclone Alley you have stated is the core of the problem. The culture in Ames has changed as it relates to the basketball program. Losing during the McDermott years was certainly part of that, but I think the Hilton environment Fred wants to revive is...

    Big 12 Tournament Tickets

    Fletchcc, I noticed some areas for improvement concerning your sales pitch in this post. I know a terrific program from Amway that would take your salesmanship to the next level. Look for my PM detailing this opportunity of a lifetime.

    Top 25 now?

    The concern is not the level of enthusiasm or fervor, it is the placement of concern. The fan base seems inordinately concerned with how other people feel about the team and themselves. Concern over seeding in bracket prediction and polls seems to supersede concern over the teams performance...
