As someone that grew up in Omaha, going to Creighton games as a kid, it’s pretty shocking how far the program has come. They had some solid players and teams from time to time and developed well. I remember following recruiting in the early 2000s and Creighton would get zero star recruits and you were lucky if they even had a picture of the recruit in the profile 😂. Now they are bringing multiple four-star recruits every year and can get solid transfers.
How do you view Villanova? They have a football team, but it is not FBS...are they considered a midmajor? What about St John's, would they be considered a midmajor? Or Georgetown? Providence?
It seems odd for a Kentucky fan to feel so threatened by Creighton. It seems like a random team to be hating on. Even the Kansas fan itt is giving Creighton some respect. Years ago, I went to the NIT game when Creighton played against Kentucky in Omaha. I was pretty impressed by all the Kentucky fans that traveled for an NIT game. I bet there were 2,000 Kentucky fans in the arena.
Just like Gonzaga, they are basketball greats, bit in my mind, they are mid major programs.
Hey, how about showing me all those lies I've been posting. you said I lie in every other post, Ihm waiting.
Well, it is my opinion, I never said it was a fact. Put it up for debate if you want, I really don't care.
We didn't have a tournament in 21, so it's 5 you shit head. Not only that, but this year is still going, we haven't even made it to the tournament yet, so how the hell do we count 2024?
Who's threatened?
So, because Creighton doesn’t have a historically shitty football program, like Duke, Kansas, Syracuse, Arizona, Kentucky, etc. they are mid major? No offense to those football programs by the way. You’ve called programs like Creighton and Marquette, mid major even though they have multiple four star players in the starting lineup and on the bench. Heck, I think Creighton actually had the higher star average a couple years ago when they played Kansas in the tournament. That doesn’t sound like a mid major.
Wait, so that's your qualifier? You're basing it on some 4* players?
Wtf? Why are you changing topics?
Hey, I'm still waiting on you to post all these lies you accused me of posting. Remember, you said it was every other post, which.means I have been apparently posting FACTS that weren't true. Lets have em.
Yes I would say there are six power conferences at the moment. If we are talking baseball, Creighton made it to the CWS in the nineties and Gonzaga is solid. To add insult to injury Kentucky is the only program in the SEC to never make it to the college World Series.
My take on mid majors is in reference to college athletics as a whole and student population.
If student enrollment is the main criteria, then the university of Central Florida and Arizona State University are the best programs in the country for athletics. Thanks for your opinion. It’s pretty clear that this is a troll when you’re bringing up Loyola and San Francisco. Have a good day.
How am I downplaying your timeframe? Again, you said 5 years, well, the 2024 season is still heing played and the 2020 season didn’t have a tournament, so you have to encompass the 18/19 season.
No, you accused me of saying it, where and when did I say it? Again, at best, that's one example, but you said I post lies every other post. Don't quit now, back that shit up. I want to see all these lies you’re talking about.
Wow, you're as bad as Exit, you took what I said and fabricated some shit. Where did I say the biggest enrollment meant they were the best?
Here’s your exact words. “My take on mid majors is in reference to college athletics as a whole and student population.“. Edit to add: if student population is a vital criteria, then Notre Dame should absolutely be a mid major in every sport.
So, where in there did I say the highest student populations = the best powrr 5 programs??? That's what you said.
I am? You're the one that literally said that I lie in every other post, so far, you have not produced a single thing to prove that accusation and I've asked you multiple times. The fact that you haven't, tells me you made the shit up, which would surprise nobody.
You literally said student population was a factor. I used Notre Dame as an example because they don’t have a high student population. I think that’s a terrible metric, but you’re entitled to your opinion.
ND has earned their position as a power program. What has Creighton done to put them in ND's class?
I don’t think it’s that complicated. At this moment, if you’re in the SEC, BIG 10, BIG 12, Big East, PAC 12, and ACC, then you are a power conference program no matter how shitty you currently are. I guess you could call Gonzaga a power team or whatever. They kind of are what they are.
Okay, you can get away with that on a basketball board, but that's the only place the BIG East could he thought of as a power conference and no, i'm not putting Gonzaga in the power category either, but again, that's my opinion.
You plucked one comment out of a discussion and are claiming my take on you is a lie, like my take is somehow a fact
I agree it’s just a power basketball conference. Soccer as well but that’s not a major college sport.
