Please feel free to update the list now that we're in the New Big East (Top-half Big East Finish isn't saying much anymore). I went ahead and checked "Non-conference loss on big stage..." after yesterday's stinker.
Season checklist
( ) Non-conference near-miss against inferior opponent (sky falls on Scoop)
( ) Non-conference stinker to inferior opponent (more sky-falling)
(x) Non-conference loss on big stage convinces board MU not ready for Big East
( ) Unmentionable conference loss
( ) Road Game we weren't supposed to win
( ) Late surge
( ) Top-half Big East Finish
