Please do NOT compare me to that tool. :rolleyes:

To get back on topic... I think it's important that when looking at teams they don't get too caught up in what teams have done a few years ago, and for example, when looking at schools like VCU, Butler, and George Mason who are all schools that were mid-majors that made runs to the final four I think it's more important to look at what they have done since then. How have they used that success for more future success, how have they invested that revenue and attention they used? Look at Marquette, they used their final four run to invest in new facilities and upgrading the program. It is clear that Butler and VCU have done that, George Mason? I'm not sure, I guess I don't know enough about their program, but they have been awful quiet since then.

I really think its important that they find schools that are all in for basketball and will spend the necessary money to keep their programs at a high level. I think they should review all of these teams listed and see what their qualifications are because the last thing we want is another DePaul.

It had absolutely nothing to do with the initial thread, which is what I wanted to read. It get's tiring to read the same old crap over again. Yes, you made it that way along with murff.

Sorry Mac, but that is simply not the case. I went back five pages on this board and did not see a single instance where we have gone off the topic and gone back and forth more than one or two posts. We did have a back and forth on the premium board of a couple posts in one topic. Now I may have overlooked something, and will stand corrected if that is pointed out to me.

You sure you're not gomarquette???

What made MU desirable for the BE? At that time look at their recent success and compare it to those hating on everyone outside of the C7. The BE took MU up another level, but look at what they were upon joining.

That's my point, I don't think the Final Four alone got us there, I think what we did with that final four is what got us there. It's important that programs are always setting themselves up for future success, keeping facilities up to date, keeping coaches paid and happy, investing into their program, etc... That to me is what separates GMU and say VCU or Creighton... While Creighton hasn't made a run in the tournament they have been their much more consistently and I think you could argue that the Valley has been at the very least as difficult or more difficult of a league.

It was a joke. I know he is gomarquette with his bombastic responses. He has been acting like murff, as he constantly changes the topic in a thread and is singular in focus.

Got it. Thanks.

For all his repetitions and faults, Murf was far more pleasant and far less hostile than Iceman in many of his posts. Don't insult Murf by comparing Iceman to him.

Hey Johnny, what's the pulse on campus in regards to this conference stuff? Do you have any connections at the other schools being mentioned like Creighton, Dayton, Saint Louis or Gonzaga that may know some inside information?
