One last question.  Is this what it is like to be a mets fan?  Comin up w unreasonable scenarios to even maintain the slightest bit of hope?

In 2015 when Harvey is healthy and Syndegard and Montero have a year's experience the Mets will compete for a playoff spot...

So, yea, sounds about right.

I had a friend who passed away about 2 years ago.  He was a life-long Red Sox fan.  His love for the Sox never waned in spite of all the years without a championship.  He got to see them win two before he died.  There is hope for SJU fans.

Glad to hear that about your friend.  Red Sox have brought a lot of joy to long suffering fans over the last decade.

1985 will come again, I guess...

Funny, as a Yankees fan, I still have nightmares about the 2004 ALCS.  I hated that the Sox won.  After he died, I was happy that he had gotten his wish.  We have to keep proper perspective.

Apparently Providence wasn't in until they won the championship game last night. And some here thought we'd be in with only 1 win in the BET...

Congrats to Ron Roberts and Dwayne Pollee.  Two players who played integral roles in their teams success and conference championships in reaching the Big Dance.

Surprises from Pomeroy's rankings who's system is quite different (more accurate) than the NCAA's selection committee:

rank school
32        SMU  Not in NCAA
38        St. Johns
40       Providence
46       George Washington (9 seed?)
48       Nebraska (11 seed)
50       BYU (10 seed)
52        Mass. (6 seed?)
53        Dayton 11 seed)
66       North Carolina St. (12 seed)
76       Iona
82       Penn St.
87      Seton Hall
140    Denver  (included for the benefit of the Lacrosse program)
175     DePaul (lowest rated Big East school)

SMU has a legitimate beef.  I thought I heard the Servants on TV saying Green Bay should have gotten in.  They are rated 61.  Maybe the Savants meant for hockey.

North Carolina St.  ESPN?  hhhmmmm

SMU got killed, rightfully so, by their SOS.  They should not have been ranked for most of the year.  NC State should not have gotten in.
