I'm going to follow up on the non-witty flavor, just in case a visiting team's fan (or a home team's fan, once we get to January) ever visits this board and sees the one thread dedicated to them.  I wouldn't want them to get an impression of us.  Note, I left out the word "wrong".

Excellent call eao.  Hey EMU, you face 4 top 25 teams in your first 12 games, 3 of them being in the top 10!!!  That's one out of every 4.   What's wrong with you, have you not learned from us that that is [I]not[/I] the path to success and improvement?

Trivia question to non-EMUs(this may require SWC)... when was the last time Syracuse matched that feat?  In 12 games EMU faced as many ranked teams and [I]more[/I] top 10 teams than we are likely to face [I]all season[/I](including "the best conference" ever[per Jay Bilas] games), and for the love of jambalaya they faced ALL 3 top 10's on the [B]road[/B](not the neutral courts some of us get absolutely [I]giddy[/I] over in our replies to pundits who are actually speaking the truth...).  EMU, has your coach learned nothing from SU, who won't play a true [I]away[/I] game until nearly the second week of January?   I'm all for different strategies, but I dont always blindly assume ours is the best.

I love the 'Cuse but I have a hard time mocking a team that any neutral observer would be likely to conclude has more guts than us when it comes to scheduling.  My dad always impressed upon me that the way to get better was to challenge people better than you, and I assume that must hold true to an extent in team sports as well.
