What I am talking about is that the article in December about Nebraska and CU basketbal in OWH pointed out HOW great the Oregon win was.

I'll tell you...you're not very good either.<BR/><BR/>You know who hangs their hat on RPI and how relevant it is? Mid-Majors that need something to try to justify why they belong with the big boys.<BR/><BR/>Question to Creighton Fan/Matty. If Nebraska is such a horrible program, why do you continually make comparisons? <BR/><BR/>I think Erik in Lincoln gives the answer correctly.Bill Braskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03766140853177124984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787129957596882935.post-10234538635207234472008-02-11T06:50:00.000-08:002008-02-11T06:50:00.000-08:00saint joe's at 15-7 qualifies as a "signature win"...saint joe's at 15-7 qualifies as a "signature win"? i guess that works in light of the fact that 12 of the jays 17 wins are against teams at .500 or below. against "quality opponents" (drake twice, illinois state, xavier, st joe's) creighton is 1-4. they had better win in st louis, they are obviously not going to keep winning their regular season games. one other thing, who cares about RPI? it is not a very good measuring stick and really only takes shape once the season is over. nebraska is not very good, everyone knows that. creighton beating st joe's while nebraska beats arizona state and oregon has little to do with anything other than it would help nebraska's RPI if creighton could actually beat the "quality" teams on their schedule.don geevafuchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15124002542189873734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787129957596882935.post-45806684413258848542008-02-11T05:46:00.000-08:002008-02-11T05:46:00.000-08:00From dictionary.com:ob·sess (əb-sěs', ŏb-) ...From dictionary.com:<BR/>ob·sess (əb-sěs', ŏb-) Pronunciation Key <BR/>v. ob·sessed, ob·sess·ing, ob·sess·es <BR/><BR/>v. tr. <BR/>To preoccupy the mind of excessively. <BR/><BR/>v. intr. <BR/>To have the mind excessively preoccupied with a single emotion or topic: "Trying to beat a dead horse with useless information" (Scott Turow).Erik Cartwrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18095298450585564812noreply@blogger.com
