Title: Nova getting handled
Post by: Johnny B on January 19, 2015, 09:00:48 PM
Down 23 at halftime. Probably not a bad situation, gives GTOWN a top 20 ranking and pushes NOVA back to 7-10(where they should be).

Now the question is do we duplicate DePaul, win on Saturday vs. G'Town and ensure another Big East team doesn't reach the Top 25.

In this case I hope so!

Good point I always want an MU victory, but
It may be better if Georgetown wins overall.

Simple, I want MU to win. However, if GU plays anywhere close to how they played 'Nova it will be another teaching moment whether or or not JJJ or any other changes are made. We will need to see a different warrior team or a different GU team to win this one.

Georgetown students are reputed to be quite intelligent, so I'm betting this was an orchestrated demonstration of irony by theatre majors.

I never understood the overrated chant. Do you want a victory over a ranked team or a team that is overrated. The chant always seemed to me to be a downgrade to the winning teams victory.

Logic and fandom are mutually exclusive concepts.

Would be funny if fans chanted "We're UNDER-rated!!!" instead.   :P

Agreed.  This is why I also like to see our rivals do well.  Hypothetically speaking, which is more fun: sticking the knife in Bucky to end a 50+ game home winning streak, or clobbering a bad Notre Dame team that people stopped watching in December?
