This is an article from a couple of weeks ago, but it's not been posted and I didn't see it until tonight looking over some Western Michigan stuff. More props from the major media.

Thats actually the best and most knowledgeable mid-major look I've seen. I like their take on Creighton, since they are getting caught in the Panther shadow. In my rankings they're 1b to our 1a. They only lost Mckinney, who as Fox puts it was a "loveable guy", and also a strong leader, but he was far from a gamebreaker (thats Funk's job). Oh, and we have made loosing to them an artform over the past few years. Overall great insight by Fox.
Oh, better include the following disclaimers to stop some posts
1. We have to play the games
2. We have to beat Western Michigan first
3. Its too early
4. Lets not get ahead of ourselves
5. Wait tell conference season
6. etc.

I agree...the 'clock' on the home page is counting down to ISU (which is a big game here in the state) but Western Michigan is the most important game on our schedule today. 1 game down last night...29 to go.

The thing about Creighton that I have thought about and really intrigued how they do this year, is the fact that they have been a different team when he is playing. When he went out with the eye injury 2 years ago, they were not the same team. When he came back last year and played the point, they were steady. Anyone else have this observation and are intrigued?The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.Comment

Even though he wasn't flashy...he was their 'glue guy'. There are some guys who just make a team "GO". He was one of those guys."10% of life is what happens to you, 90% is how you react to what happens."Comment

Agreed. He wasn't a verbal leader and didn't score a ton of points. But he got the job he was asked to do done and done well. I always admired the way he played and the fact that he was even able to play after his eye injury was amazing. Just one of those players who lead by example. He appeared to be a follower of Funk, but I suspect that he was the player that when he spoke up, the others all listened.Originally posted by panther2317If computers ruled college basketball the way they do football, we'd have skipped all this March Madness monotony and just waited a month for the Kansas-Kentucky title game. And watched Northern Iowa play Cornell in the Poulan Weedeater Bowl. ~ Dwight Perry The Seattle Times
