MSJ62:
Congrats on the win tonight. Good, hard fought game. But FYI:
Can't say much about Marquette's team but if they are like Xavier's club team, they are players who pay $200.00 each just to play the game. The Muskies did not start practicing until September and they didn't get pads and helmets until October. Nobody from the University is providing them with anything but moral support. Tonight, they played with a lot of heart and courage. Take away a couple plays and it's a close game. The Lions deseved to win but keep it in perspective. With weight training and practice time from August as well as a couple more ames experience maybe the result is different.
Smack talk all you want; next year's rematch(es) will have a different feel. I talked to Coach Huber before the game. Great guy; the articles I have read about him have all been complimentary. He told me that he knows how it feels to be looking uo/starting from scratch (see MSJ's 0-10 record not long ago) Sure hope no one rubbed in MSJ's face during its growing pains.
MSJ should be proud of its growth. The Muskies have a solid foundation on which to build. Why not encourage teams like XU and Marquette rather than engage in sophomoric rhetoric?
