Since it seems that everyone on this board went into hibernation once OBU, OCU and OC were eliminated....let me be the first one to congratulate the boys from the sticks.

Say what you will about them....but they have never gotten a fair shake in the SAC...not from other teams, not from fans....they are the red-headed step-children (along with LCU and WBU).

So for them to be subjected to bad ratings early, get thru a tough stretch in the middle, and come on strong at the end to get a bid....well....I say KUDOS!!!

Sheehy and the world's best dressed assistant deserve some props...whether they win another game or not.

Not that they will get any here.

You all talk about the strength of the conference....well...don't stop flexing just because the one that has moved on doesn't work out at the same gym you do.

Well I'll be John Brown.

John Brown is horrible. They must be the luckiest team I've ever seen. Red headed step child is right...but don't drag LCU down with you. They've been big time for several years now. One awesome thing about JBU...when you're playing there you can turn around and by popcorn from the end of the visitor's bench. It's awesome.

I'm glad to see John Brown in the Final Four, as I think most other true SAC fans are. (SAC Fan is excepted from this, since he's really just an OBU fan with a misleading handle.)

John Brown's run just gives the SAC more reason to puff out its chest. If you're counting, that's five SAC teams that have reached the Final Four in the last 10 years. That's half our league in just a short period of time. Four of those teams have reached the title game (OCU, SNU, OBU and USAO).

The GSAC can puff out its chest all it wants, but it's only had three Final Four schools in that same period. The fact that the SAC's third-place team is still alive just proves that even in a so-called "down" year (a theory to which I never subscribed) that the league still can produce a title contender.

I hope JBU wins it all, so OC can say it swept the national champions. If JBU doesn't win, I hope Azusa does, so we can say we took the national champions to triple OT.

Whatever happens, the SAC is a winner because of what JBU is doing.

Actually, I'm a Phillips grad. Couldn't care less about the Bison. Usually pull for SNU, but they suck so there isn't much to talk about.

Odd...Murray talking about something he doesn't have a clue on.

Congrats to JBU by the way. It's always fun to see the breaks go the way they have for a guy like Sheehy. He's straight class.
