I see your point but 16 years of losing to the school we compete most with for students is demonizing. And its thinking like yours that makes it okay that we have been. Through a bitter rival with pitt in where we trade wins with each other sounds like an unreal recruiting resource. Just like the upset against #10 SLU , it puts Duquesne basketball on ESPN, it makes students want to come to the games, it makes the program better. 
 
Of course I am not saying its okay to be under .500 while winning that important game. But we cannot treat it like just another out of conference game. Out of all the games in the season, that one that needs to have the most heart from the players. That’s the game the students actually care about.

Seven in a row to Bobby Mo is inexcusable.

It hasn't been that many.  Two under Ron, and three under Ferry equals five, although it feels like we've never beaten them.
 

Maybe you should go and see the Dukes players for yourself in the summer league so you can truly verify how awful you believe they are going to be.  Nothing like seeing it for yourself.  That will add credence to your posts. And....if you are not local, you can always designate someone on this board to be your legate.  The games start June 22, 2015 at Montour High and start at 7 and 8:15 respectively on Mon and Wed.

I was joking based on CLK post earlier this year.   Where did I say they were going to be awful?   Don't put words in my mouth.   

I don't have the time or the desire to go to a summer league game.   And I challenge you to find where I have ever commented on the results of a summer league game.

Sorry Grams, it's Pittsburgh summer league. It's not Jersey Shore, LA, or anyplace where excelling is definitive proof that you've got something. No offense. I judge em only based on when they're all wearing the red and blue.

DCLK - no worries.   Glad you understood.

Mudder- whatever.   You take shots at me here and at the other board.   You ALWAYS come at me first.  Not the other way around.  I've over listening to your crap.  I guess you are not the type of person ever to be wrong as witnessed by your "apology."
