Some folks from a certain university on this fine forum are pretty thin skinned.

There are o so many things I could respond to this in but I think since we were talking about the sport and how ISU wasn't just "the hottest team for three days" we just want someone to show undeniable proof of how that's true or stop saying it. It's not thin skinned, it's discussion.

First of all, there is no such thing as "undeniable proof" to an extremely biased person that can't look at things objectively.

As stated, the noncon performance certainly is part of the reason that many were surprised with InSU's tourney title. Another could be the fact that InSU lost five consecutive conference games --- championship quality teams usually don't lose that many conference games in a row.

Personally, having seen them play the two games against Creighton, I wasn't sold they were championship caliber. It took a miracle play for InSU to win at home and CU handled them pretty easily in Omaha.

Of course those are just my opinions. The real problem here is that you seem to care too damn much about what everybody else thinks. Learn to let go.....it was several months ago....

We didnt match up well with Creighton at all this year, in fact I am suprised we won one game...Let go? Someone just said it recently so I was just interested in the rationale. That five game stretch is an understandable reason but ISU was a streaky team all year so going into the tourney ISU finally got it rolling again. I feel like the reason with Indiana State doesn't see as much respect is because it isn't a pretty way to win a ball game. That's just the feeling I see it.

So because InSU "got it rolling again", people shouldn't be surprised that they actually won the tourney? Do you even read what you write and consider the meaning?

I agree. It was months ago. Time to move on and get over it.

This is exactly why Indiana State fans get the reputations they get and exactly how not to pool any other Valley fans to their side of the fence.

Indiana State got hot at the right time. The non-conference display is a fair point in the discussion.

Devildog,
We have had our differences but I was in a meeting when I read this comment for the first time and I bursted out into laughter.

Good judgement is not one of "greenwell's" strong points. He is a know it all who in reality is not very knowledgeable at all when it comes to basketball or baseball in particular; maybe knows a "little bit" about football?
