The question you originally raised was one of perception. My perception of that perception is that the question as to whether we are "good" or not is not even considered by many beyond our little band of merry men. Frankly, I think this is the most talented team top to bottom that's ever called The Palumbo home. Alas, I think their size and youth will keep them from getting much beyond .500. We shall see. PS They are fun to watch. -- Duquesne Dukes Basketball Forum

In reply to: El Duque 's message, "I understand the part about the media. I understand where Duquesne "ranks" in terms of Pittsburgh sports. What I am contesting is the notion that we are not a good program right now. We are not a ranked program and we there are many upper echelon teams we can't beat, but my feeling is that we can play with most teams in the country and be competitive." on Thursday, December 09, 07:31:24pm

Actually FAM's post spoke to the public perception ... but I do understand his and your points. What I tried to do is make the case that we are a good team. (NT) -- El Duque, Saturday, December 11, 09:20:38pm
