Great article..as much as I don't like Creighton, I will miss the games and rivalry.

I remember when I found out that Evansville and Xavier wouldn't be in the same conference anymore. We couldn't stand anything about them: Their players, coaches, fans, city, stupid chili, etc.
Now we long for a rivalry that has the same passion...

I think Creighton leaving happened at the perfect time and takes away a lot of the sadness I would have otherwise felt. Getting to the Final Four means our non-con will be easily replace Creighton in terms of SOS. The (not a) rivalry will definitely be missed and it's going to suck playing against a bunch of scrubs in Koch after December but at least November-December will make up for it.
