    Why is it that it seems that for the past couple of years Creighton loses its focus down the stretch and struggles the rest of the way. Two years in a row they have sent the wrong message to their opponents. With the loss of SMU & Tulsa the MVC will be considerablely weaker. Conference USA on the other hand will be stronger. Evansville should have made huge progress this year, instead took major steps backwards. With the internal problems that appear to be going on there in Evansville one has to wonder if they will be able to attract the necessary kind of recruits that the program needs. SMS probably had its best squad and may not be as strong next year. Vandy had a good year but they certainly are not a quality squad. Bradley and Creighton should rule the roost for a good number of years to come, who is replacing SMU & Tulsa?

    What on earth do you mean by "struggles the rest of the way"? They reached final four 2 years ago coming within minutes of a PK shootout with Stanford to get them to the national championship. And last year, they reached the Elite 8 and were within 25 minutes of another final 4. Arguably, they choked (massive coaching brain lapse/failure) being up 2-0 and up a man vs St. John's with 25 min to go. Nevertheless, a tremendous overall success both years having to accomplish this on the road.

    I was there at Torero Stadium, last year. Even your coach said you were played off the park. How does it feel? At home in the conference semis? Tsk tsk. Where is the soccercock? And for the record, your facility is almost as nice as Torero Stadium,

    ..........except its in Omaha.

    It does not compare. But I don't expect a tunnel vision moron to high on the bong to see reality. Losing Friday was disappointing. But you know what, it is a blip on the screen. Bottom line is we will be in the NCAA tourney with probably a decent seeding. While you jokers are finished for the year. Hey....nice record this year. Tsk tsk. Now tell me Beach flake............how does that feel?.........Btw, Creighton was out played in the first half they will admit. And then things changed in the second half. Your boys just ran out of gas and could not even manage to finish the Jays when you were up a man for about 40 minutes incl the OT's. Now what does that say about your mighty Toreros? Not much. I call it a flash in the pan group of losers that never seem to go anywhere. Eat your heart out.

    I'm really not as bad as I sound. I just hate these CA blowhards that have their heads buried deep in thier "rectorifices". The idiot is now pulling out his Webster's Dictionary to see if this is a real word........

    I'll save "the idiot" the time..............it is a "Bush-like made up word" but I hope you are not so ignorant that you cannot figure out the message I am conveying to you. No doubt, you now have your stereotypical "dumbass deer in the head lights" look. You surfer dude idiots are so TOTALLY stupid.

    Hey airhead......................NCAA selections are over. Creighton is the #14 seed. Tell me, how did the Toreros do? You may think you have a nice stadium. I wonder who is going to be using it in the foreseeable future. Tsk tsk. It sure as hell isn't going to be your team.

    Hey dumb$hit! You were crying about losing a game you thoroughly dominated, and I told you I knew exactly how you felt, nothing more. That was USD a year ago. Were you at that game? Because evidently you didn't see the game the rest of us saw. I'm betting you weren't there. I think we have a nice stadium? Again, have been there? Have you been on the playing surface? For starters its real grass. The stands are closer to the field than any facility you can name. The huge video scoreboard is the nicest one this side of the Home Depot Center. You probably think that place is a dump too.

    And why do you have to talk ******** about other people's programs to build yours up. USD isn't "my program", but I've seen a lot of "my" kids go through there on both the men's and wommen's side. It is one of the many programs in "my town" however, that is outstanding. Their record in the WCC is second to none in the past 15 years. Unlike many programs of recent success, they have actually played for a national title, in your life time no less (1992 v. Virginia). So has SDSU, although that program has fallen on hard times lately. I am very impressed with your program and your facility, I've just seen a few more than you in the past 30 years. I have nothing but respect for CU, its the a$$holes that represent it on these boards I take issue with. I'm not a "surfer dude", and I probably put the bong down before you were born. If you want to stomp your feet and call names, I'm sure there are many here who will oblige.

    Once again, I merely pointed out the irony of this year's loss at home in a game you probably played well enough to win, wondered were some of your less reputable cohorts were and stated my opinion on nationwide facilities. What you offered back were "moron", "beach flake", "surfer dude" and some bong smack that sounded like a whiney two old. You don't know anything about me, or California for that matter, but I'll share this with you. I have enough good friends in the Midwest to not let your little tantrum tarnish my good memories of the place. I've lived longer in this country's heartland than you have been out of high school. I played college soccer in the midwest back before you were in kindergarten and the Bronze Boot Classic was the biggest game in the nation.

    Now run along and support your team. Your program and coaches have earned our respect, you my young friend have a ways to go.

    Next time, think twice before you start shooting off at the mouth. There was no crying coming from me. Just an expression of disappointment at losing a game the Jays should have won. Of course it happens to all teams. And then you come off with your tsk tsk BS. For someone who purports to have all this experience and seasoning, you come off like an insecure "has been" and
    "sh#t disturber". Your long winded diatribe was truly inspiring. Save it for your kids or whoever it is that would ever listen to you. I have seen both facilities. Yours is "above average" but not on par with the new Creighton stadium or other stadiums like VA or St Louis or Ohio State or Indianas. Several others come to mind. But leave that to others to judge over time.
