Man, that's the way I felt in Tulsa this past weekend. During the first half of the Gonzaga-Tulsa game, I heard "over-rated" from several Tulsa fans.
Didn't hear any more of that once GU went up by 20 with 10 minutes to go.
For all of you big-school fans out there, if you think Gonzaga is overrated, ask yourself:
Does Maryland think we're overrated?
Does Washington think we're overrated?
Does Missouri think we're overrated?
Plus, our nonconference schedule was ranked in the top-10. It's not our fault that the other schools in the WCC haven't improved their programs.
Frankly, I've just been enjoying the ride for the past six years. The Zags are among the most cost efficient teams in the top-25, with a budget of $1.5 million vs. the $4 million-plus budgets of Duke, Texas, and others. The budget will probably increase to $2 million next year, as they'll be moving into a new arena.
Ok, back on topic. What cracks me up about the 2000 election is the focus on the popular vote, not the electoral votes. Our populace is so lacking in American history it's laughable. The outcome of the 2000 election is a testament to the foresight and brilliance of our founding fathers.
And all Algore had to do was win his own state!
