It was real, it was fun, but it wasn't real fun...

How many of your 16 posts involve Wichita State?

Through most of the last 30 years in the Valley, there really hasn't been a program that has approached Wichita State with regards to fanbase, revenue, etc. etc. It seems like only a few years ago BJ played their games in a run down old civic center in front of a few thousand fans night after night. Then by the grace of Joan of Arc, Omaha builds a shiny new municipal center bigger than any building most Nebraskan's had probably ever seen. The great citizens of Nebraska filled the arena and marveled at all the bright lights and readily available libations.

It wasn't long before word spread and people from all over came to see what all the excitement was about (and perhaps get a breath of fresh air - damn those Omaha cow patties in the summer!) Nebraska basketball, rodeos, truck shows, motocross events, and even women's volleyball took advantage of what became the great meetin' place for the bored folks of Nebraska. Club BJ quickly followed suit, inking a rental agreement in record time. When Father Schlegel finished the deal, he popped the cork and there wasn't a sober BJ athletic department member within 100 miles of a dried Omaha cow patty. They had struck gold...

Then came the rent.

With the Quiet Center filling with more and more Nebraskans, Club BJ couldn't figure out why there was nothing left over. The coaching staff would look up into the stands and see all the happy, drunk people, all the while realizing that the vast majority of the money was going right back to the city of Omaha. Then to make matters worse they found out that Wichita State was flying to all their road games while they still had to hump it out on a bus. It wasn't long before special funds had to be raised in order to compete with Wichita State. I mean, they can't be playing in front of 15,000 fans and yet still not be able to afford a measly $80,000 chartered flight right? And would you know that BJ representatives to this day still come to tour Wichita State's facilities (they were here again for a tour last summer) in order to build a case so they can whine to their small group of donors how they need more money to stay competitive with Wichita because of something we built.

Club BJ has done a lot of fine accounting over the last few years to maintain an air of success with regards to their athletic budget. It has been a masterful display of smoke and mirrors. It seems miracle after miracle occurred in order to keep the checks from bouncing. And now we find our cash-strapped bluebird friends from Bugaha shipping off to play in a club that was ordained by the apostolic order. Everybody will have holy water in their water bottles and blessed jockstraps in their lockers. And most important.. Club BJ will get a bigger check to cover the bills. They have struck gold!

Then came the losses.

See ya BJ's.. you've been a solid MVC member most of your years in the MVC under Diana. Since 2009 your average RPI has been a respectable 68 (UNI's has been 69). While it's nowhere close to Wichita State's average of 38, it is nothing to sneeze at. I've always considered you guys kind of an equal to Wichita State (at least with respect to the modern era of the MVC) it will be sad not being able to give it to you like only I know how. But don't worry, you won't miss me because there will be C0|db|00ded's x 10 in the new league. You really will be the Evansville of your new league with respect to financials as well as class. So get used to it and keep your heads up!

LOL, you almost sound like a fan of a school that has actually done something. Mr|RPI|of|38... and 0 MVC tourney titles in STL. WSCC, A Community College famous for March choke jobs, conspiracy theories, clock replays and being third in your own state. Wake us all up when you actually win in March, until then have fun looking at your skyline of grain silos. If CU goes, maybe WSCC will have a chance at winning but I doubt it. the Valley is tougher than you think.

There's no point in posting about the other schools in the Valley. I actually respect the other teams in this conference. Wichita State and their fans are just a joke. The laughing stock of the Valley. It's no wonder KU won't play you. The MVC is a fantastic conference, minus the Shockers.'

(I actually have a lot of respect for many of the WSU players. Their coach and fans, not so much)

Also, how many times are u gonna post in response to my posts? It must really keep you up at night how much I post about WSU, LOL.

I actually thought this could be a WSU fan until this paragraph. Now I know that is out of the question. I would guess Evansville but I don't think an Evansville fan would have anything to gain by posing as a Creighton fan. Maybe just sour grapes about CU leaving.

hey GooShucks69 - It was about the last time WSCC won an Arch Madness trophy Don't worry about where we've been fatboy, worry about where we're going.


At least you guys dont have to worry about running out of trophy polish. You should head over to a Husker Hoops board so the two of you can share your importance to the hoops world.

Just say this to yourself when you guys are finishing in the bottom half of the C7 year after year.

Not that there's anything wrong with that. I just think it's a funny insult when we have a trophy from last year and Creighton isn't going to get any trophies for the foreseeable future.

Oh yeah, that trophy you got right before choking in STL right?... those darn refs, LOL. Sleep well, your coach does. He should have been breaking down VCU film instead.

Hmmm... I've never understood the community college bit. Wichita State is a national research university with many PHD programs while Creighton is listed only as a regional/master's college. If it is supposed to refer to Wichita's urban location, then I would say, "pot meet kettle". And boy is BJ-ville in the heart of "Compton". The crime statistics are alarming - especially when you compare them to Wichita State.

Also, whenever I see WCC I think of Wichita Country Club, an exclusive invitation only club located right across the street from Charles Koch's property, you know the guy worth 43 billion dollars who helped pay for our arena's renovation?

And since we are on the topic of exclusive country clubs. Did you know that Crestview Country Club, one of the seven or so exclusive private country clubs in Wichita was originally located on Wichita State's campus? Wichita State's Marcus Welcome Center sits on the site of the former Crestview Country Club clubhouse that Wichita State purchased in 1969. Of course the Arnold Palmer redesigned golf course still stands as one of the many treasures contributing to the aesthetic beauty of Wichita State's campus.
