Little Creighton, despite repeated begging on the part of Prez's Schlegel and Lannon, never got a game with Nova. We weren't worthy and they got nothing from giving us a game.
Same with "brother" G'twn. Nothing to gain from giving us a game. We have had 86 games with Marquette, 37 with Notre Dame, 36 with DePaul, even 25 with Providence, and 19 with the Johnnies. Even 23 games vs beloved, cheating-ass S'Cuse.
But no...not good enough to play Nova and G'twn, at least not before 2013. Steam rises and blood boils just thinking about it. Never forget that mess...got a chip the size of Gibraltar I carry for "old times sake" to remind me, brethren.
It's why I carry the "luv" for the Radnorites and the Foggy Bottom minions!



:lol: I'll alert Drake of your impending home/home arrangement. I'm sure you won't have any trouble shuffling the constraints of a power conference schedule to make time for a fellow midwest private school and former comrade. We can get somebody to cover for you in the Gavitt games and Big 12 challenge for the next few years (UConn, your table is waiting).

Don't ever change Git, :D
This is my opinion. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

What a pal Marquette, what a pal. I've been dying to renew our longstanding series with Drake. You're a real prince to arrange this for us, Thanks!
We'll Just drop Texas Tech off the schedule, no wait...Michigan? Maybe Oklahoma or Nebraska? Delay the start of the new H&H with Ariz. St? Oh woe...woe is me!
Guess we'll add one less cupcake to make room for the mighty Drake Bulldogs!

CU vs Drake... Creighton's longest series. Total series games 153. Jays lead the series 94-59.

PS; Record vs Nova is 4-12, record vs X is 12-15. Neither is insurmountable.

AaaHAaaa GTMO, now I understand! Never looked at it from that perspective. That said, probably a couple of good reasons for not doing the H&H prior to your entry into the BE.

the Big 5 sucks 4 OOC every year out of the available slots. Couple that with at least 1 tournament, a huge BE schedule with the number of games, and Nova working to get those games with the likes of Kentucky, Kansas and UNC probably left very little room for slots. Most importantly, Nova admin probably didn't want to expose the fragile Nova student body and alumni to your $1.00 beer night! And then there is the whole Nebraska thing ;)


Am I allowed to call BS here. Aren't you guys well known for pillaging various quaint nooks and crannies of Radnor?


Yes you are Dash... tongue was firmly in cheek on that one.

Not according to this unless you guys beat them prior to 1950 but they certainly have 13 wins

Nova shows 3-13

Xavier shows 11 wins

Your ref is correct for Nova. I mistakenly thought we split last season.
According to CU's all-time series page we have at least 12 W's vs Xavier. Plus we split the regular season games, lost in BET last season.

Thanks for posting that. I was looking for it on the website and couldn't find it. As I said sports reference only goes back so far.

Do you only have the creighton records? Because I wanted to find them for every school. Trying to find out who has the best all time BE win %

Yep...old git is a walking compendium of all things BE. Yeah right!

Sorry, limited to Jays history only.

Jays post it in their Media Guides. Maybe the others do so also?
