The Bluejay Underground: A Creighton Sports Message Board

Either way, not a good look.

He ironically got a national award of some sort for being a rising star in sports journalism

He got a much deserved award.

Now official - Ben to the portal

Like most people on this message board, I bought into Ben and wanted him to stay. That said, our bench was clearly a challenge and he didn’t get a shot. If he could have made a difference, he would have played. Loved Reef as an Omaha guy as well. But this is a business now - we pay guys big dollars in addition to their scholarships. If guys don’t deliver, we need to upgrade in talent. Let’s upgrade. College sports as we once knew it is over.

Santa Barbara is one beautiful place. Congrats Ben!

Is he redshirting or is he hurt? He hasn't been showing up in the box scores.

Hurt
