No way of "knowing your geography at this time"? What, do you use a sextant or something and it's too cloudy? ORU is in Tulsa, OK. You remember Tulsa: "America's Most Livable City", and the place where Valpo has never won a game on any court. Valparaiso is in Valparaiso, Indiana - infamous as a hotbed for the KKK, and Al Capone's favorite place for bootlegging moonshine. That's all the help you're getting. And as for your profane cliche earlier: it may be a "fairly common expression" in the bar or bowling alley where you grew up, but for the rest of us with college educations and professional jobs, it's a clear indication of ignorance. But considering the source, I suppose we really shouldn't be surprised...

Congratulations on your RPI - nice to see you're now losing to a higher caliber of teams. By the way, how's that conference switch working out for you guys? Raking in all those Horizon League trophies in all your other men's and womens' sports yet? No? Well, that's OK - it's all good because you're saving so much money now on diesel for the bus. What a joke - still living off the past glories of one player making one shot over a decade ago. Really sad. "Horizon League version of the Crusaders" = same old middle-of-the-pack pretenders, padding their resume with the same old cream puff non-conference schedule. Wish we had room for IU Northwest and Purdue North Central, but we were too busy playing actual Division 1 teams this year. Here's hoping all goes according to plan, and we get to see the "Crusaders 2.Zero" version at the Mabee Center some time next week. Because we all know how much Homer LOVES the Mabee Center!
