Let me get this straight.

You lost one game, and it "broke" you?

Suck it up, buttercup.

Creighton's got more NCAA tournament wins in the last three years than I've seen in the last 30 years.

Apology not necessary. Your feelings, opinions, and outlook are valid. Some fans endure misery better than others, some wear misery as a badge of honor or a winter parka. In part, your sentiments are shared by others. The Jays have had 3 fair years out of five (2nd, 2 tied for 3rd -although the BET seeding says otherwise).

The failure to win when it matters HAS become a pattern and over his 9 year tenure, Mac has plateaued. Folks outside say "CU's fine under Mac". Not so Kemosabe, not so. He's not winning enough, nor optimally with selective wins (when presented with an opportunity). Time for new blood. Gtmo ;)

If we’re sharing fan sob stories I might as well chime in... did anyone notice that Nova has dropped 4 games already this year? FOUR!! How are we supposed to deal with that?

JK. Tried to bring some levity. Hopefully it hit the mark.

Jays fans I get the frustration but you guys are absolutely closer to making a March run to E8/FF/NC than you’ve ever been. Mac needs a defensive guru asst coach. You guys are always top 10 in offensive efficiency and this year is no different. Mac knows how to coach O. You need to learn how to defend like a traditional BE team. Do that and the team has a shot every year.

BTW, expecting you guys to take us down tomorrow. A 15 pt win over another tourney team and reigning NC will help get you back on the wagon.
Go Nova!

Bring back the levity after you lose 4 more games...it might hit the mark then. :lol:

LOL. You Nova fans aren't allowed to participate in this club for a minimum of 10 years after your most recent title. ;)

I have a feeling Jay won't let you participate for at least the next couple decades.

Wait, so now everybody wants Mac fired?
This is my opinion. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
