Marquette Fans (but no longer just about Marquette Fans)

When I was at the Marquette game in Milwaukee the fans were very nice as well. They save their venom for people wearing Wisconsin stuff.

This the difference between a "good conference" and schlock where you get dooshes like VDump fans.
Big East forever....Cryers never.

And I'll be interested to see what kind of reception I'll get in Omaha this week. Won't be very many of us X fans there Tuesday night.

i will be there. should be behind the xavier bench

The Dayton thing must be localized. We used to do joint XU/Dayton viewings out here all the time and they were wonderful. Then again, that kind of event might be self-selecting.

Yeah I belatedly appreciated that. Hence my last sentence of that post.

I wouldn't be surprised if Dayton fans outside of southwestern Ohio are on average much better than their local counterparts.

Re Nova fans:

I should then add- they were very friendly before the game even started.

They were so friendly at the Big East Tourney that now Coco Cooley (HS Junior) wants to go to Nova!

And I'd add, a group bought me a beer while I was Just Standing Around Being "Mel" at MSG.

Smart, friendly . . . Nova fans.

I've had nothing but good experiences at St. John's (MSG), Villanova, Providence, Georgetown, Marquette and DePaul. Butler? Hmmmmm. Problematic. We'll see about Creighton. Gotta get to Seton Hall.

It's hard to imagine how we were in the A-10. Yes it was a good conf for us at the time but I finally understand why Mick belittled the conf. I mean VD just beat GMason by 30 on the road. How can you tell how good you are when you beat awful teams? Love the Beast and screw the A-10!

I understand why Cronin said it too. It's because he's an idiot. He makes this comment about the A10 and CUSA, yet he had lost to every A10 and CUSA team he had played that season.

I guess I admire the candidness, but I also think that it's pretty bad form for a coach to slam a conference that he's got nothing to do with, especially if they avoid that conference and/or lose to teams in that conference whenever they do play them. Krzyzewski blasted the A10 a few years back when they got six bids. He then proceeded to lose to Mercer in the NCAA Tournament not even a week later.

To me, it's as simple as this. If you feel a team and/or league is getting undue credit that you yourself should be getting, then go out and beat them. Otherwise, STFU. If you truly are better than them, then beating them shouldn't be difficult, and it's not like teams in the A10 wouldn't want to schedule Duke or Cincinnati on equal terms.
