If X had won I would be cheering for them the rest of the tourney.

I'm happy that we won, but us Jesuit school folks should stick together.  We've been in their shoes plenty of times, losing to a significantly lower seed that was underseeded to begin with.

At least X has Sweet 16 berths to cushion their early exit this year.  MU has a lot to prove with regards to the claim that we're an elite level team still.

The vitriol aimed at the X fans venting their frustration on their own forums is unwarranted.  I'd love to play them every year, because I'd bet that it'd end up being an evenly matched series that would renew our rivalry.

I'd be cheering for X as well, always do, and understand the venting after a loss.
But vitriol is entirely warranted for those fans - and I would guess it's a minority - refusing to give MU any credit and, to the contrary, essentially saying "Marquette sucks and got lucky."
F--- them and the musketeer they rode in on. MU spanked Xavier last night and there's nothing we saw to indicate MU couldn't or wouldn't do it again to them. Xavier is a good team and excellent program, but they lost to the better team last night.

And could you point out for me who's claiming MU is an "elite level team?"

Anyone that starts talking about the fact that we've been in 6 straight NCAA tourneys?  Or that we're top 11 in tourney appearances all time?

Huh?
So making the true statement about six straight tournament appearances = "we're elite"?
Wow ... that's quite a stretch you're making.

Indeed.  Elite programs win in the tournament.

It's the stating of half-truths to puff fans up.

6 straight tournaments with what, 2 wins?  Top 11 in tournament births all time but with 1 championship to show for our efforts.

I'm not making a stretch, I'm explaining a comment that you're picking out that was part of a larger post.  Are you really bored enough to argue about something so silly? :P

I say take the high road, I found some very complimenting posts as well on their boards, people who actually sounds like they know something about basketball and a Jesuit mission. Not exactly sure what a Jesuit battle is either, but I don't think that belongs to any Jesuit school.

"They were the better team on the floor tonight. I wish them nothing but the best as they continue on through the tournament. When all else fails, cheer Jesuit."


Agreed. MU and Gonzaga only Jesuit schools left standing.

Georgetown and St. Peter's went down...

Trash Talk - good.
Vitriol - bad.

I know some X guys and they're OK.  Plus I have that Jesuit brotherhood sympathy going also.
 
But I get what you're saying about getting some shots in.  Now if we had beaten L-Ville or ND yesterday, I'd be all over that!

Right.  Kudos to all the X fans that gave credit, but hence the topic was to share some of the comical posts I read, and I'm glad that some more positive posts were shared as well.
