Transfers 2025

I believe Blake Harper is in town. He and his father were having breakfast with the coaches this morning. If it wasn't Blake, it was someone who looked like him. But I am fairly sure it was. So Mac is still out there recruiting.

This is weak. No report on what was actually on their plate? I am thinking McDermott is a biscuits and gravy guy.

Being an ongoing ticket holder dating back to the MVC/Civic Auditorium days I so very much love the statement of "Powerhouse College Basketball Program" and "one of the nation's premier programs..."

Great statement, but we ARE Creighton, “one of the nation's premier programs’. No doubt about it, we are in the next level below Duke, Kansas, UConn, UCLA, North Carolina, Arizona, Michigan State, Kentucky, not three levels down like the MVC days.

And I might add we beat two of the top level programs last season and basically OWN UConn since they came back to BE.

i remember playing wyoming on espn2 was a huge deal back in the civic. i think about this all the time and it still blows my mind how far we've come. from only ever wanting just one sweet sixteen appearance to expecting it consistently.

...wasn't meant to be a debate, very simply was saying it's cool to see the national media giving Creighton the props that I probably never envisioned watching games at the Civic...but hey, it's a message board, pile on

While the sentiment "We've come a long way, baby!" is an apt one. There is still much left on the plate. Yes we're getting ranked fairly consistently, we get a lot of ink in the national press (none locally, heh, heh), and playing Big-boy ball in the Best basketball conference in the land. The 2nd best program in BE Basketball, and a consistent sports program across the BE sports spectrum. As I've previously stated...Is this enough?

There are still a good handful of milestones for Mac (and Coach Huss) to reach. We've got 1 RS Championship under our belt. We can do better. Regular Season championships - BET Championships - Breaking the glass of the 30-win ceiling.

One RS Championship & 0-5 in BET Championships. As said above: "We ARE Creighton". We can win more championships. The record book rapidly forgets the Bridesmaid & Company, remembering Champions!

Both Korver & Doug won 29 games during a season. Neither made it far into the dance to break the ceiling. This is an important milestone. My 2 cents is that the 1st 30-Win team will be the greatest of all-time, regardless of what they do in the dance.

Undefeated season: There's been 2 Creighton undefeated full seasons, early on. Both under the first 'official/recognized' HC Thomas 'Tommy' Mills: 1971-18, 11-0 and 1918-19, 10-0. Mills' record was 53-6 over 4 years

One loss season: There's been one (1) under HoF Coach Eddie Hickey. 1943-43, 16-1.
Two Loss seasons: 3 under Coach Arthur "Schabie' Shabinger - 1923-24, 1924-25, & 1927-28.
3 loss seasons: Three. Two under Coach Mills - 1916-17 & 1919-20, and Coach Shabinger - 1933-34.
Since 1985, the best seasons were the Korver (29-5) and McDermott (29-6) seasons.

Another Elite Eight run (or 2). That bar has been set high now. Sweet Sixteens are becoming the routine (Yes, we've come a long way, baby!).

Needless to say I deserve, WE deserve a few Final Fours and a few NCAA Titles ( i love trophies ). Can Big Al get us a 3-peat and make history?!!!

Too much for a delusional, alzheimers riddled, old fart, like gtmo, to ask? No. No it isn't. Our fanbase is rabid, loyal, faithful, and deserving! Get'er Done Coaches!

I hope Mac was having the fruit bowl.

He did have eggs on his plate

Any Blake Harper up dates?
