Most important thing for the valley to be successful is...

[Championz]

Looks like plenty of traffic on their board to me. Still don't understand why all you WSU guys are obsessed with a team no longer here.

Prior today's "burst" in activity, there was 1 post in a 48 hour period on their basketball board. So my point still stands.
As far as your last statement, aren't we asking the same thing about the Creighton fans being here?

There are several schools in the Valley trending upward. While WSU is currently by far the best team and program I anticipate that will change in the future. The West Coast conference had one good program for several years. I think as a result of that several other programs were able to elevate and become competitive. I think the schools with the best chance of building a successful Basketball program at this time are the schools without a money draining scholarship football team. Others might be able to do it, but it is certainly more difficult. UNI is obviously in pretty good shape as long as they keep their coach, and Hinson may get something done at SIU.

You realize there is more than one Creighton board, right?

I find a great deal of irony in the WSU posters who continually talk about Creighton, yet claim to be surprised when CU fans check in here periodically.

By "check-in" you mean follow WSU? What percentage of your posts on this forum since CU departed have not been related to WSU? I'll put the over/under at 5%.

Uh Mr. Cdizzle, CU should have a permanent forum on SN. Its quite humorous to read on any day references to CU's demise, Big East, attendance, beer, and on and on. That is why we come back. This obsession has gone on from day one and its funnier than hell to read. Championz, sorry to disappoint you, but the move to the Big East has been a huge success. The new Championship Center is off the charts. 2 top 100 recruits just arrived on campus and 3 transfers who picked CU over the likes of KU, Iowa, Arizona and so on. Its all good.

Sorry ICTjay, you are probably a decent guy, but a few contrasting perceptions regarding your post.

1. CU will NEVER out recruit any player from Kansas if KU really wants that player unless that player is:
a. from OMAHA
b. was never going to get any playing time at KU
c. was being recruited as a scrub sub or practice team player

2. Your Championship Center, while nice, Is pretty much what every other Valley school already has. CU does not own their own arena, rents their facility, and finally builds a facility that nearly every other Valley team has had for years.

3. I'll admit, I'm a bit envious over your inclusion in the nBE, but I wouldn't say it's been a "huge success". You probably would have received more publicity if you weren't shrouded in the mysterious network of FS1 and instead rode on the coat-tails of WSU this past season in the MoVal. I believe that WSU's TV ratings far exceeded CU's this past season. Additionally, the other nBE sports seem to be really terrible with baseball pretty much at the bottom. And travel must be a bitch. So while I applaud your acceptance into the nBE, let's not get carried away. You still play in a non-BCS league and the best year you've probably every had in basketball was a distant 2nd fiddle to your old MoVal cousin.

I agree your 1st year was a success in the new conference. But can you sustain that success after the loss of your superstar player? McD truly was a once in a generation type player. I think you could be in for a rough time the next few years "post Doug".

Perhaps the dumbest (and most inaccurate) thing you've said. That's quite an accomplishment since you say so many dumb (and inaccurate) things.

The remainder of your post was comical as well. The only reason WSU was undefeated last year is because Creighton left the MVC. If we were still around we would have beat you at least once and probably twice just like last year, assuming you made the conference tourney championship and didn't choke on the way there like you did two years ago. Good grief, every pundit on TV or in the print media commented how you played nobody last year. We, on the other hand, had three other conference members alone make the NCAA tourney. Playing a top tier SOS is difficult. Someday you may understand.

DJA, unfortunately two degrees from CU hasn't yet taught you to respond rationally instead of with prickly emotion. My post wasn't meant to hurt your feelings or discredit your program. I apologize if that is how you took it.
Please separate fact from feeling and read my post again.

Dang, a bit defensive are we?

All Veritas said was that your Championship Center wasn't that special and instead of refuting that claim, you jumped straight into a WSU slam barrage, downplaying an undefeated season in college basketball.

That was very well done. This clearly shows you have no insecurity issues, no thin skin, and are comfortable in your new conference shell - especially since you are still lurking and posting here. You have to admit, you don't look good.
