This thread cracks me up. I come over to see if what's up in the MVC and find the same cadre of WSU posters obsessing about Creighton.

Just to clarify, ESPNU is in 73.9 million homes while Fox Sports 1 is in 90 million homes.

Malign FS1 as much as you want, but FS1 is national. Fox Sports Net, where most of the MVC games air, is regional only, meaning that the games only are broadcast in MVC markets (also known by the MVC office as MVC TV). In fact, I do not even know for certain whether MVC games will air in Omaha this year... National coverage is always better than regional coverage.

Rather than the usual suspects worrying about Creighton, you might just want to worry about this: http://www.news-leader.com/article/2013 ... basketball

Welcome back DJA! And thanks for your interest in the Missouri Valley Conference. I hope that you continue to come back here and post. I know the folks over at the Holy Land of Hoops are far more boring than we are. I welcome you with open arms.

Good luck in your new conference. I hope you got the fruit basket that we sent. Don't be bashful about coming back here when you are dropping games to DePaul and Providence or whatever.

But back on topic. I don't see what is so great about Fox Sports 1 and I have yet to see a real credible link to the 90 million number. I know that a lot of those distribution numbers can be distorted. I remember hearing Texas fans crowing about the number of people that got the Longhorn Network and it turns out its just like four people in Amarillo.

No one on here is obsessed with CU. Of course CU is going to pop up in conversation sometimes. Should we say you are obsessed with the MVC because you are back on a conference board your team is no longer a part of?

What cracks me up is someone calling somebody else "obsessed" when said person couldn't help but come onto a board that doesn't even associate with their school anymore and then go through each thread and look for something to cry about. Yes, we know who the obsessed one is in all of this.

Fox Sports 1 is and will always be a fringe network, just like the Speed Network, it's former name, was. Home and Garden Network is also in 90 million + homes. Doesn't mean anybody's watching it. Which is exactly what Fox Sports 1 is. I still haven't watched more than 5 minutes of the network and those numbers seem to fall right in line with its ratings. If Creighton fans think the country is going to be glued to Creighton vs. DePaul matchups or St. John's vs. Marquette matchups, they have another thing coming to them. Creighton will be like the West Virginia of the Big 12. A disassociated, geographical, and population outlier that will soon begin to fade into obscurity, much the same way West Virginia athletics has been going. And the Big 12 is a good league. The new Big East is just an overrated shell of its former self without its Louisville, Syracuse, UCONN, and Pittsburgh anchors.

Make sure you come back (which you will) and tell us how awesome everything is when you turn into the next middling loser.

Yes.

Maybe he's just sad that no rape accusations have come out recently for him to make light of.

Let me know if you want to tour a facility and see what NCAA success looks like. I can make sure there's a beer and a foam corn cob hat waiting if it will make you feel a little less intimidated. I'm certain the moment would be a lot for someone like you to handle.

Don't try logic with him, he's a Creighton grad twice over.

Wrong. The Big East is very much a power conference. The 2014 ESPN Top 100 commits, by conference... As of today:

ACC 13
Big East 12
B1G 12
SEC 11
PAC 7
AAC 6
MTNW 2
A10 2
WCC 2
MVC 0

I'm rooting for the Valley, but tone down the hyperbole and deal in facts.

Count me Super Impressed. How many of those 12 are BJ commits?
