Yup, lets just keep up the climb to the top. 4th place isnt even out of reach. Lets not do what ND and louisville did and lose very winnable games we need to close out. It all starts in less than 48 hours

The next game is the only important one.  Let's win the next one.

When I coach or play, I definitely take the "one game at a time" approach, and I can even see how some fans might do that for the sake of their mental health.  

However, I don't see any point in reminding a message board to take it one game at a time -- it's not like our "looking past" an opponent has any effect on the game. In fact, at least for me, the whole fun of being a fan is trying to calculate all the permutations that could lead to an NCAA berth or a Big East double bye.

Agree, if the players were hanging on these boards I'd be nervous because obviously they need to focus on one gaem at a time.  However, whether or not us fans are looking at scenarios has no impact on how the team will do in teh next game.

Fact is, scoreboard watching is fun, and the bottom line is that there is a very good chance that how the teams on the NCAA bubble and/or the teams near us in the BE standing could be the difference in a bid, so I will keep watching and rooting against all these teams.  Plus, nothing is better on an offnight for MU than watching ND and Lville go down.

agreed.  you really cant help yourself when it comes to that stuff if you're a true, intelligent fans.

and to repeat, it only is a bad thing if the players are doing it as it could throw off their focus.
