You read it right. I wouldn't want to see it. Just like I hated watching CU play UNC and Duke. I don't like to get all excited about it pre-game only to see my team lose by 20. Not much fun to watch. But I guess others are gluttons for punishment.

Our schedule will always be tough given our conference. No need to schedule KU. Yes, I realize how ironic that is now that we've moved conferences.



So you hated the opportunity to play the big programs in the NCCA tournament? Uh.....ok. I thought that was the point.

sometimes "smaller" programs win those games. it can be pretty fun.

Remember when Kentucky played in Omaha for the NIT?

Wait, because I 'besmirched' the good name of Creighton home sellouts, I'm a forum target? Relax folks. Look at how Chicago Cub fans used to swarm Miller Park when the Cubs were so good that it was ridiculously hard to get a home ticket. Granted, there is a difference between a one-off and a baseball season series but the logical fact pattern is much the same. Do those 13,000 season ticket holders stick with their tickets if, God forbid, Creighton ever didn't do well. If I remember correctly, that 13,000 has been a two year deal; while that's something to be excited about, you can't truly bank on that. You've had one hell of a ticket seller in #3.

High demand for KU home tickets + Outrageous prices/difficulty to get home KU tickets = High demand for any KU road games not on the coasts.

I'm simply throwing it out there. There is no need to try and put me in my "forum place" because I'm new here. Better get used to me, I'm here for at least the next three years ;) :D

I like advancing in the NCAA Tournament. But if I had my choice I would've rather played the 15 seed instead of Duke, yeah.

We have had 12-13,000 season ticket holders for a long time. Would you like a shovel? Because your hole is getting deep now.

We can always go play in the CBI or CIT again if you like advancing.

We really haven't even done that. We ran into mighty Missouri State.

Now we're getting on a new path. We (yeah, for $33k a year I'm using "we") sell out games, I looked into the figures and that checks out. Again...everyone take a deep breath.

You just said "you've" when referring to us having Doug McDermott to bump up ticket sales and now you want to say "we". Need that shovel yet?
