I went on UD Pride to savor our victory. Man, our biatches cry like little girls! I giggled while reading this post and subsequent thread. Enjoy the angst, anger and outright envy from our servants up north:
Not again...those d*mn sons-a-b**ches
Friggin' XU does it again. Seriously, I swear that someone on that campus made a pact with the devil years ago. Their success is para-normal, occult-like. They never experience any significant injuries. They always get a favorable seed in the tourney and favorable calls in games (like tonight and every year in the A10).
I can't believe they beat ND (whom I'm no fan of either). I watched parts of that game tonight and every time I tuned in, ND was going through XU's defense like a hot knife through butter. The Irish had up to a ten-point lead at one stage in the 2nd half. And yet those Muskie sob's come back and win. Looking ahead they play "powerhouse" Lehigh and then the winner of Colorado-Baylor (really tough) to get to the Elite 8. What a sweet seeding - compliments of their AD being on the Selection Committee. And they were far from being the best team in the A10 this year, far from it.
What really ****es me off is the **** Flyers couldn't put 'em away in the A10 tourney (or at their place, for that matter) when we clearly had the opportunity. IF "Boof" Kavanaugh (such an appropriate nickname, compliments of the Blackburn Review) makes the two-foot bunny at the end of that game, XU is done. He CHOKED. This is the guy who said he hated Xavier and couldn't wait to beat them when he signed his letter of intent. At best, if we had won that game, they then go NIT and maybe we go Big Dance. Now this crap. BIG win for them on national TV on a Friday night (while we lay a turd on national TV Tuesday with our chance - TYPICAL!).
God, I have to be a masochist to follow the Flyers. We are cursed, cursed, cursed (over the years suffering injuries to most important players, choking in big games) and those guys down south are supernaturally lucky.
Think back...our run to the national championship game in 1967, only to have to face Hall-of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabar the first year he plays for UCLA. Just our luck. Donoher calling a timeout to the ref as Donald Smith puts up what would have been the winning shot at the end of the 2nd overtime against UCLA in our 3-overtime defeat to the Bruins in the Sweet 16 game in the 1974 NCAA tourney. Losing to eventual Final-Four team, Arkansas, by two because our best outside shooter, Norm Greevey, gets intentionally undercut by a U of Illinois player in the previous game and knocked out of playing at all against Arkansas two nights later. Just a few years ago, we clearly had a team to beat Xavier down there, but what happens... it's Chris Wright's freshman year and we clobber #6 Pitt by 25 and can't wait to come to Cintas to break the drought when Wright breaks his ankle in a game just before the league games begin and then Charles Little gets injured just before we play XU down there so he can't play and Brian Roberts comes down with a terrible respiratory flu bug the day before the game. We didn't have a prayer. It's crap like that, time after time, that just gets to you and leaves you an embittered old man.
Arch: for many of us older Flyer Faithful who can remember the days when X was an easy win and we swept them every year, our games with XU are now of OSU-Michigan proportion and we're feeling a whole lot like Lloyd Carr. We need you to be Jim Tressel and start kicking some serious butt with those clowns - starting NEXT SEASON! No more near misses, no more excuses, no more "we tried really hard", no more "the defeats on me". Just results. Just get it done. Break the spell - DOMINATE _avier again!
