Wise:

<<"Go in peace my son, and sin no more. For your pennance, attend three Loyola and three Chicago Circle games.>>

Mr Neutral (?)

(1) I'm partway there. I've been to 2 Loyola games (Butler, UIC), which would also make 1 UIC game.

(2) Wise, it's been UIC (Univ. of Illinois-Chicago) for years now. It hasn't been called the Circle Campus for quite some time. But there's just no darn reason for you to start being current now! Live in the past, sir! It's a happy place!

Yep I missed it. I know Chicago folks get all excited about big happenings like that, but it doesn't even make the agate "transactions" in real newspapers.
Must be thrilling to go to a Illinois-Chicago vs Loyola scrum. Why not move up to a St Rita vs New Trier game sometime. Naw, that level would be just too fast paced for you.

Always remember, Mr. Neutral (?) said we'd be a "bubble" team when we dropped to 8-2 on the season.

Wise, if the old board archives were still in existence, I'm sure you had X winning games we ended up losing. Or you may have been one of the delusional who thought we were an NIT lock in Miller's first year, when anyone with any brains knew it wasn't going to happen.

Mr Neutral (?) ...

I wish the old board archives were in existence Mr Neutral (?) because after the "jump ship" statement you made that we'd be a "bubble" team on selection Sunday, I posted that we were now 8-2, and that at the Dayton game we'd be 16-4.

And Mr Neutral (?) we were.
And Mr Neutral (?) I posted that on March 2nd we'd be 24-6 (we might better that).
So Mr Neutral (?) how did I do?

Who did I think we'd lose to enroute to 16-4 from 8-2 ... Tennessee and Temple (and we did)

And Mr Neutral (?) who did I think we would lose to the rest of the way? At Dayton and at St Joe's. Don't think Dayton can beat us now with Chris Wright.

And for the record, Mr Neutral (?) ... and MOR can back this up ... we were a mortal lock for the NIT in Millers First Year, but got submarined by an A-$ole athletic director at Fordham who was on the selection committee, and he bragged about it!

So I guess I had "brains."

Nothing delusional Mr Neutral (?) just facts!

<<we were a mortal lock for the NIT in Millers First Year,>>

Hardly.

Record: 17-12

RPI: #139

SOS: #149

Top 25/RPI wins-zero

Top 50/RPI wins-zero

Losses to teams w/RPI 100-199: 4

Losses to teams w/RPI 200+: 1

Wins against teams with RPI 150+: 12

We belonged in the NIT like I belong on "America's Next Supermodel".

Look at all those negative statistics Mr Neutral (?) dug up.

Now go and get the same statistics on the 32 teams that were selected and we can see how we stood.

Or to save time Mr Neutral (?), ask MOR if the only reason we were derailed was because the FOR DAMN athletic director voted against us as a member of the selection committee.

I'd be furious too if my team lost at home to Fordham on national TV; maybe now we can have discussions on UMass scrapping just to make the A-10 Tournament.

As usual, I've got cold, hard facts, and Wise has nothin'.
