Alright, I saw this on ESPN. Incarnate Word beats Nebraska on it's home court. Had to google Incarnate Word because I had no idea what is was, I actually thought they were a foreign, put together team playing an exhibition game.
Seems Incarnate Word is a small catholic school from Texas, which just moved to Division I, the Southland Conference.
NJIT beats Michigan, Incarnate Word beats Nebraska, both on home floor. NJIT, ok, Incarnate Word, really?
Please raise your hand if you ever heard of Incarnate Word.
I have. Is that the place that Markoff (sp?) kid from Wiscy transferred to after he lost his love for the game under Bo?

edit: Sure, a mind like a steel trap for useless crap like this, but ask me the name of somebody I met for the first time yesterday? pffffft.
Not only have I heard of Incarnate Word, but I wrote an article on possible non-con opponents suggesting Marquette consider adding them to the schedule.

Quote from: brewcity7710) Incarnate Word (Buy Game)
RPI: Not Rated
Prognostication: The Cardinals return 4 of 5 starters to a team that was classified as Division 2 last year but will be considered D1 for RPI purposes next season. Incarnate Word were no slouches in the first of four transition years to D1, they went 9-5 against D1 teams in Southland Conference play.
Why We Want Them: The karmic positive here is giving another Catholic school a big time game as they transition to D1, but don't underestimate the Cardinals. They had wins against 2 of the top 3 teams in their league. The top-3 team they didn't beat was Stephen F. Austin, who had a 29-game winning streak before losing to UCLA in the tourney. During the streak only 2 teams stayed within 2 points of the Lumberjacks. One was VCU in the NCAA Tournament. The other was Incarnate Word.
They must have uttered an Explicit Word after losing that game.

People who live in glass houses should not throw stones.
I'm pretty sure I heard of it right here on this board.
But I would've sworn it was called "Unnatural Carnal Knowledge Word." ?-(

Impressed, now I have to add more value to your posts.
Or, people shouldn't throw stones in glass houses.

I've heard of it only because I live in San Antonio...
Nebraska also beat Omaha soundly, so I hope we steer clear of the Incarnate Word juggernaut.
I thought the punchline was: "People who live in grass houses shouldn't stow thrones."
This game will through some interesting twists in this season's transitive law of basketball.

But only because I read something recently where "Incarnate Word" was metaphorically used in lieu of "Little Sisters of the Poor."

As tower noted, those benevolent souls helped Ian Markolf find that love for basketball that St. Bo took from him.

Well, some should and some shouldn't. Give it enough time and keefe will surely give us some examples of the former.

Of course I've heard of it. I thought all MU fans knew that Bruce Hayes, who played for one of Kevin O'Neill's early teams, was a transfer from Nebraska-Omaha.

I thought he was Issac "Theme from Shaft" Hayes' little brother!
