Looks pretty clear here.S33 wrote:Of course the talking heads are up in arms about the alleged foul on the final play, but fail to recognize the sexual molestation of Gregory Butterfingers the entire game. Oh well, at least Alabama can keep their heads high with the "we should have won that game" mentality.
Still if the ref doesn't blow his whistle it doesn't matter. Â Creighton moving on and no Jays fans will remember the no call in the future.
My point was more that foul or no foul, the refs missed a lot of calls that game both ways, and some obvious fouls on Gregory Echinyquemutumbo. (no I don't know how to spell his name)

"The point was that if CU had lost they also would have complained. Alabama's complaining about the last no-call is simply sour grapes. The only difference is one team won and the other lost. Golly!"

McDermott quoted:
Great to see this, and with two more years, he and the Bluejays have a very bright future."It's really special. It really hasn't hit me yet. Later down the road it will," McDermott said of his selection. "It's something real cool to be in the company of some of those names. Creighton never had one. It's really cool to be able to be the first, especially with all the great players who have been at Creighton over the years."

Should be a great year next year as well with 9 out of 10 letter winners returning. Great to see Creighton was #1 out of the non-BCS schools. Due to capacity though, it looks like #5 is all that they are going to be able to achieve. Creighton also ranked #17 in the nation for total avg. attendance (home, road, neutral)...that is saying a lot since they were able to draw very big crowds on the road as well.

Maybe this should go into a Creighton 2012-2013 thread but here is a brief story on Doug McDermott.

Top 10 Thursday: The Most Indispensable
http://espn.go.com/blog/collegebasketba ... p-10-thurs
From ESPN:
1.Doug McDermott (Creighton) -- Few casual fans knew his name prior to the 2011-12 campaign. But McDermott became a star after averaging 23.2 ppg and 8.2 rpg. The Bluejays are the favorites to win the Missouri Valley, and they’ll enter next season as a nationally ranked squad with McDermott back. He’ll be even more essential next season, as the team tries to replace the production of Antoine Young (12.5 ppg, 4.5 apg). But the first-team All-American candidate will keep Creighton on the national radar. The 6-foot-7 forward is the most indispensable player in the country based on his contributions to the Jays and how he affects their national standing.
