7 years is too long. My kids would have been 9 & 7. I took them out on to the floor.
Today I mentioned cutting down the nets and it took my kid a minute to figure out what it meant. It has been that long. He said it was Tu Holloway's team when he was down on the floor and the team was cutting down the nets. I think 87 took his kid down there too.
I love the fuddy duddy brigade that is against cutting down the nets. "ACT LIKE YOU HAVE BEEN THERE!". Bunch of old school hard asses. They don't like when teams rush the court either. Why are those young kids having fun?!?
I would love it if we won on a last second shot and then cut down the nets. Some of the brigade might blow a gasket.
7 years is way too long between conference championships. I think that is the longest drought during my entire tenure as a Xavier fan. I remember cutting down the nets when I was a student. None of our fantastic student body has been a part of such a spectacle. And our student section nowdays blows my class apart. Many of these student come here because of the basketball program. They want to be a part of it.
So none of our students or any of our players for that matter have been able to cut down the nets while at Xavier. Our fantastic, legendary and storied senior class is about to bring home our first Big East Championship. I want this. I want to win the Big East Conference Title. I want them to be Champions. And I want them to cut down the nets. I want them to cut down the nets in Cintas, New York, Omaha and San Antonio. Make the whole world our bitches.
I want photos of us cutting down the nets. I want them on ESPN. Big East Champions. If we win, I want to raise a banner in the Cintas, and I would like it to be raised and unveiled Wednesday Night. I want these young men to leave the Cintas after their last game as Champions, and I want a fitting tribute. Nova plays the late game on the road on Wednesday. Their fans will be watching on TV. During the halftime show I want Nova fans to watch some camera shots of Xavier cutting down the nets as Big East Champions. Smell the glove my friends.
This is a goal that they have worked long and hard for. Celebrating a great achievement is not limiting our season or being satisfied. It is one of many goals, but an important one.
The only thing I DO NOT want is Trevon's number retired on Senior Night. I think it was a mistake when we did it with David West, and it robbed us of having a David West night 5 years later when we put his number in the rafters. Tre's senior night will be emotional enough, don't try to make it better and don't deprive us of a second night for Tre when we bring him back to raise it into the rafters.

One fan's fuddled brigade still thinks Smell the Glove has cachet. It's so hip.
No possible chance of getting waaaaaay ahead of ourselves.
On rubbing it in Nova's nose: Hey! Let's rent a billboard, preferably before the BE tourney, on The Main Line, with us cutting down the nets. Oh wait, they just bitch slapped us again on our home court. Yeah, we own them.It's a still great day to be a Muskie, but a sad day to be a supporting member of this board.

That providence game was a fluke. Any line I see in single digits is getting a very large bet

I recall the non nett cutting game. I think we clinched on the road. Played awful yet still won at home and Sean Miller was pissed and sent them to he locker room.

It never had cachet. I am a dork on a message board. That won't stop me from saying it.
SMELL THE GLOVE!
I don't like losing to Nova. That game hurt. And yes, I am petty, but I like the thought of Nova fans watching the halftime show and seeing us cut down the nets as Big East Champions. I hope they don't like it.RIP Brian Dargin McCormick

And then lose at DePaul, right? No sane coach does this.

The hell with the nets. Let's unveil the Big East Champions banner in the rafters. Let the guys see the permanent testament to their accomplishments.
