The building is a big recruiting advantage over other schools in the Midwest. Dana can say 'We're the only team around that plays in a building this nice.' If UNL starts playing an annual game there, he can't say that. I understand it's a publicly owned facility, thus much of what Matt says is nonsense. Nonetheless, the Creighton fans who pack the Qwest feel a sense of ownership of the place. To have another school and its fans use it feels uncomfortable.Grawlixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09176674992885903021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787129957596882935.post-61997048888548336332007-06-14T23:44:00.000-07:002007-06-14T23:44:00.000-07:00LOL at the alcohol comments.

I know I have better things to do with my money than to drive 20 minutes to the Qwest Center, pay $6 for parking, and pay $5+ dollars for a tiny beer. That is the biggest fallacy Husker fans have ever come up with. There are 16,000+ a night for Creighton games because a) they win b) they put a quality product on the floor c) they win. I don't know why Nebraska fans think this is so unusual and surreal. That is the world of sports...If you win, people come. If you don't, they won't. Creighton is not exclusive in the bandwagon fan department, it happens everywhere.<BR/><BR/>As for the game, who cares? It's a public facility being used as a NEUTRAL site. When did Nebraska ever declare this a HOME game? Even if they did, it still doesn't change the fact that it's the same lousy, boring Nebraska team playing. <BR/><BR/>This is a non issue.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07332419814472972371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787129957596882935.post-61723061469849453602007-06-14T13:53:00.000-07:002007-06-14T13:53:00.000-07:00First off, thanks for clarifying how you feel.I ha...First off, thanks for clarifying how you feel.<BR/><BR/>I have but one issue with your statements and I would love a response because you have left me scratching my head. You conceded that the Qwest is not Creighton's to control and then you relate the NU game at the Qwest to allowing someone to sleep with your wife. Now I understand that you shouldn't control your wife, but if she's sleeping with others anyway, why deny the Huskers a turn?<BR/><BR/>Does one pay a wife for services rendered? Didn't think so. I would think of the Qwest as more of a prostitute and Creighton as her most frequented client. You might think you are special because you get more 'quality' time with her and you might get jealous at the sight of some other guy working the grounds, but she will never be your girl.<BR/><BR/>Of course, prostitute or not, I probably wouldn't watch somebody else entertain my best girl. That is, unless you think you might enjoy it.willienuggethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01268921256588871156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787129957596882935.post-43797000172780606922007-06-14T06:20:00.000-07:002007-06-14T06:20:00.000-07:00Do you really believe the words coming out of your...Do you really believe the words coming out of your mouth? CU rents the Qwest center. they have no more claim on it than anyone else that rents it. Go back and look at how much money CU contributed to the construction of the arena. I bet you won't any. To say that CU has a claim to the place is insane. Should UNO hockey be upset that CU plays basketball games in their home facility?

Bluejay fans, Nebra...Matt, do you feel stupid yet? Bluejay fans, Nebraska fans and those that are fans of neither team are telling you that you are stupid. What Doc said yesterday had nothing to do with being arrogant. Go back and listen to the quote. He is saying that he works for the "state school", which he does. Creighton can never and will never be the state school. Yes at this point Creighton basketball may have more fans in the city of Omaha, but they don't have anywhere close to as many fans as Nebraska has statewide.<BR/><BR/>You mock NU fans because they won't drive to Lincoln to watch the game, but yet do you really believe there are Creighton fans outside of Omaha that drive to the Qwest Center to watch the Bluejays? Omaha is the biggest city in Nebraska and there is alcohol served at the Qwest Center. If Creighton played in Lincoln in the Devaney Center where there was no alcohol, their attendance would suck too.<BR/><BR/>If you are that shallow that you hate Doc for swearing at a ref and a comment he made at a NEBRASKA press conference, then you have serious problems. Do you not think that Altman has ever sworn at a ref? Would you be upset if Altman called Creighton, Omaha's team? Just stop and think about how stupid and childish you sound.<BR/><BR/>What are you going to do next year and the year after and the year after that when Nebraska is beating Creighton and Creighton's program is struggling and the Qwest is emptying and the Devaney is filling up?<BR/><BR/>You really need to try and get back to being objective and not letting your emotions about Creighton or Nebraska get the best of you. Your show actually used to be somewhat informative and entertaining and now it is just your constant whining and complaining about Nebraska and what they do or don't do.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14312035286756969280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787129957596882935.post-2391288586225643062007-06-13T16:39:00.000-07:002007-06-13T16:39:00.000-07:00When you said something about Doc and his vision f...When you said something about Doc and his vision for the future of the program, wut was Dana Altman trying to do for the future of Creighton basketball when he left for Arkansas and decided to come back.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06030827436866986637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787129957596882935.post-82488585744534063572007-06-13T13:08:00.000-07:002007-06-13T13:08:00.000-07:00Matt.

When NU comes to play a baseball or soccer game against someone besides CU, then you may have a point (if CU even owns the baseball and soccer fields). <BR/>Why are you so upset that NU is bring in a floor? The other teams you are referring to NOT bringing in a floor: High school teams for the shootout, NBA exhibition games?? Why is this any different than a concert bringing their own stage, or the WWE bringing a wrestling ring, or the rodeo bringing in dirt? <BR/><BR/>Will you be saying the same thing when the NCAA takes over your new baseball stadium that the city is going to provide for CU?

The atmosphere is 10 times better in lincoln than the quest center. NU is the STATE university and is the flagship university of the state and you should realize that by now. There is no reason NU playing in the quest center should bother any Creighton fans.

Much like our Hawkeye brethren to the east, I'm starting to sense a bit of an inferiority complex from Bluejay land. CU is what it is, a mid-major school.

First off I'm a Husker fan so full disclosure. <BR/><BR/>I listened to your show yesterday after I got an email from UNL because I knew you would be over reacting. I thought your anology of your wife/girlfriend was way off though. What you need to do is change it to prostitute/booty call. If someone gets mad for sleeping with their booty call/prostitute they are an idiot and should expect it. Not calling you an idoit but that's how most people see CU and the Qwest. It is a client/business owner relationship. If CU owned the building then I can see the wife/girlfriend anaolgy because there are expectations. The Qwest goes to the highest bidder. So I see the booty call/prostitute analogy working much better.<BR/>Later.Raidskerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14272655495412315971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787129957596882935.post-24983456718293874422007-06-13T07:56:00.000-07:002007-06-13T07:56:00.000-07:00MattUNL is the flagship University of the state. ...Matt<BR/><BR/>UNL is the flagship University of the state. Doc is saying that, the UNL program is the program of the state. It is totally obvious that you have a bone against most, if not all, UNL sports. You are the one who flames the fire more than anyone, and you are creightons bitch! A homer in so many ways. <BR/><BR/>When creighton decides to get their own gym, they can complain.
