I agree with this. Hopefully everyone in this conference wants to and believes they can be competitive. The next 2 plus years should see the emergence of some good teams.

I'm sure you do. Even IlSU would finish higher than the sweater vests in 2014/15.

Wow, win one conference title and now nobody can compete. Wonder what that says about those teams in the 90's and 2000's that won multiple years . Not taken away from the very excellent run and program that WSU is experiencing right now, but the level of disrespect for the rest of the Valley by some will likely haunt. :Bam:

The bizarre tone of the first post in this thread is that we miss Creighton as one of the best teams in the conference. I believe the intent of the altered quote was that there was nothing special about CU other than winning, and with Creighton gone, we need someone else to step up and fill the void.

There's no reason any of a number of schools (UNI, MSU, ISUr) can't do that, and I for one will be disappointed if at least two of them don't.

I think you keep a balanced perspective with a healthy level of swag for what the Shocks are doing right now; but some do seem to act as if the league has been dominated for a decade and have no chance of catching up with the Shocks. To me , on paper, I'm not sure UNI isn't there now, and a couple other programs just a young stud or two maturing away. Interesting year at hand.
