    Pretty sad with Georgetown at 37%. Of course, our 102% rocks!

    Sounds like what all the East Coast Big East teams say about Xavier and Cincinnati.

    Actually went out to the game last year and loved Omaha. I was surprised how cool of a city it was. Definitely suggest the trip.

    I have a coworker who went to Creighton (you know heard it from a friend who heard it stuff) and said their basketball program is much more popular than U of N in the state except for Lincoln. As for Omaha (and surrounding) folks love Nebraska football and Creighton basketball.
