Oso planning to go pro
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny. Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.
Death and Taxes. Where was this writer when we were looking for new mascots? Gold? No. The Marquette Death and Taxes. That can sell.
Wow... we've officially become the UW of the Big East.
If this year holds, we will be the only team to make the NCAA tournament every year of the new big east. Which is pretty good, considering the teams we share a conference with.
With Pitt not making it last year, I thought we already achieved that distinction.
But with all the success, when do we start seeing the Final 4 of yesteryear.
Sunbelt15 - Genuine question, what screen name were you before this? Thanks
things that you can rely on, expect to happen, etc. you have to die, there will be taxes, and MU is going to be good
When a trancendent player arrives or we get hot for 2 straight weeks. It could be this year, it could be next, it could be two years from now....who knows? VCU goes from being controversial even getting in to the final 4 because they got hot at the right time. If, 7 weeks from now, all the pieces fall into place and the 3pt shots start falling at a 40% clip, JWilson starts taking over games and everybody clicks, it could be us. Right now, it is a long shot at best. Injuries and luck plays a huge factor, too.
Luck is HUGE. We had more than a little luck in 2003 and 1977. Need all that other stuff, but need the bounces probably more than anything else.
Pomeroy has MU as the 26th Luckiest team.
Two shots go differently (Clarke, Thomas) and not only are we far luckier, we are ranked in the top 15.
I agree that what-ifs don't accomplish a lot. We have played a lot of close games. We've about broken even in one possesion/OT games. We are very close to being top 15, we are very close to being a bubble team. It is all in how you look at it.
