  • I understand what you are trying to say, but you are getting a little too close, IMHO, to the "ND fan's holier than thou" attitude. "No REAL fan would ever criticize" etc

    That being said Jones is a gamer and I have enjoyed watching him play through the lean years.

    I wasn't trying to say he's above criticism. More just that I think he's born more than his share through his career, and that one way or the other, nobody deserves to be booed by home fans.

    What I learned was what I expected but didn't have enough gumption to post !! And that is that Minnesota & Northwestern are both good teams and they were desperate for Big Ten wins !! Minnesota was o & 4 and Northwestern was 1 & 3 in conference play. In my mind,I knew that Minnesota and Northwestern were Just Not That Bad [as their conference record] !! I also knew that the Big Ten + 2 Conference is one of the best [if not the best] basketball conferences in College Basketball !! I have stated before [and I still believe] that as many as 8 or 9 Big Ten + 2 teams could make the Big Dance this season !! I'm not saying we will get that many in the dance !! I'm saying that I think that we have 8 or 9 teams that will deserve getting into the "Dance" !! However, the deserving teams don't always get an invite. I remember when IUPUI had a terrific season and had current Indiana Pacer ,George Hill, they did not get an invite . I consider that one of the worst snubs ever by the committee !!
