Tip o' the cap

First of all, it is a pleasure to "visit" one of the better basketball boards I've come across in the last 20 years or so of "perusing" college basketball sites. The tenor of this board (which I've "stalked" the last week or so) seems to reflect your h.c. ... class, serious, reasonable and in my opinion HOF.

It hasn't been easy getting Top 20-25 programs to visit the Kennel, and I understand the reasoning behind the SMU/Gonzaga home and home series. Fortunately GU has also gotten on campus home and homes with Arizona and UCLA ... but this SMU "series" intrigues me.

Last night wasn't fun for you guys (believe me ... I've "been there" for similar games against Virginia (down 60-26 at the half) and v Illinois (down 58-27 at the half) ... but what was consistent in all of those games was the team that was down DID NOT give up.

Not much on my agenda today other than to say "thank you" to your program ... and I'm looking forward to coming to Dallas for next year's "rematch".

This has a chance to be a special year for both of our programs ... and SMU now has a legion of fans in the PNW that heretofore did not exist. And not just because you guys doing well helps our RPI. I think it's because of the "class" nature of your coach, and your program. I'll have fun following you guys ...and

Beat Indiana

Note: I generally don't link our board as it's kinda rude ... but we aren't on a "pay per click". That being said, I thought the "SMU Class" thread may be of interest to you guys (with the exception of the Arizona fan that didn't like that you guys were pressing against the GU walkons ... which I didn't mind at all).

Thanks.

Obviously we are all very down today, but last night was pretty fun other than the result.

You guys have a hell of a team. Best of luck this season.

Have been a closet Zags fan for years. Your coach is one of the best. Good luck this season. Classy post.

Wow I must admit I've never seen a nicer thread of comments about our squad from opposing fans than that. Thanks for posting GoZags, and yes we're all rooting for Gonzaga to play well the rest of the way.

Thanks gozags. I'm putting money on the Zags to reach the final 4 this weekend in vegas. Y'all looked incredibly good. Rooting for y'all the rest of the way.

I think one of the commentators on the broadcast stated, to paraphrase, "if there are 12 teams out there better than Gonzaga, I'd like to see them." I, for one, hope that bears itself out (and I tend to agree). Thanks for the kind comments, and see you in Dallas next year.

Congrats on a well deserved win. I hope you enjoy what should be a great run for you this year. I hope we meet again in the tourney (in the final four) :-)

Final Four team unless Pagnos gets cold. Very well balanced front and back. Great transfer adds. We have a lot of work to do.

You're a good dog and much smarter than seacatfan.

If that front line plays well, the Zags could be a serious challenger to UK during tourney time.

You guys are going to have a fun year (us too, I hope). See you next year (if we don't see you in the tourney).

Seacatfan seemed like their version of B12Mustang.

I've always liked Gonzaga. Few is a great coach. GoZags, hope you stick around and join in from time to time. Good luck the rest of the way, at least until we see you in the tournament.

Thanks GoZags for your classy remarks. I do believe out team has some quality players
and our coach is unbelievable. He is Mr. Class. Thanks for noticing.

We were very impressed with your team and hope you go far in the tourney. We are also
looking forward to the meeting in Dallas next year (if not sooner.) I know we will play a
lot better - I believe we will have learned several things from the thumping you gave us -
that will help us down the road.

Thanks for the link to the Zags' board. I enjoyed reading the comments.
