You know the season is over when.,,,,

Re: You know the season is over when.,,,,

I am excited about what SIU will return. I am scared with what UNI, SDSU, and hate to say it IL state will return. I am not looking for a dominant force in the MVFC next year. I think it will be as tough as any conference. And then maybe the conference champion can make it to Chatty!

There seems to be less "optimism" in looking forward to next year for UNI fans...not saying we won't or can't have a championship run. It is just that this year's expectations were soooooo high that looking at next year is a bit of an emotional downer. I'm sure that will change in a few months when the Spring Game is cranked up, but right now I'm glad we have basketball.

By the way, does UNI go into next year as the pre-season #2, #3 or #4 team in the MVFC? I think Ill. St. is primed to make some serious noise, SDSU seems to have some good skill players returning and S. Ill. is returning a lot of beef. No matter what we won't be picked to win it...which is a big relief for me.

And for the record...the reason I jump boards for discussion is not to stir crap. It is because in general fan boards become "inbred" at times and it is just more fun to talk to others who are not so close to the family!

Don't worry. Welcome back. We laid our eggs in October. You guys laid one in December. All things being equal, I'll take December any day.

The Saluki(Arabic: سلوقي)Seloqee is perhaps the oldest known breed of domesticated dog. I think Saluki "fan" is barking up the wrong tree.....and should take his commentary elsewhere.....

Saluki fan isn't trolling, but UNI fans aren't being "mean" either. SIU should have won, or at least played better. That's not a jab; that's the reality of hoping that one's fellow conference members will carry the banner and then being disappointed when they don't.

Well said.
