Love it. During the season, teams should hate us. We are fresh off a Final Four run. We have a 2 game lead with 6 games to play despite us playing not up to our potential. We have a growing fan base, a great staff, great academics, improving facilities and a top recruiting class coming in. It would be odd if schools like Valpo and ISU didn't hate us...at this moment in time, we are everything they want to be and everything they thought they'd be. But like they say, and like we know, it can all quickly change so we have to seize on this opportunity and not throw away our chance to really build a sustainable program.
When March 21 rolls around, they will all be supporting us again as the MVC rep in March Madness (just as most of us would support them).
Although I didn't enjoy one of their posters saying something about our Final Four run not being that big of a deal in Chicago. That is pretty hilarious. One look at the Chicago skyline during March would make him realize how much the whole city was behind us.
Couldn’t have said it any better, if they weren’t bad mouthing us then we’d have a problem. I agree with everything you said, I did find some of their comments on twitter etc about Chicago not acknowledging us during the final four run pretty comical. Clearly they were not in Chicago, the city was all about it. New’s stations, the skyline, Rambler apparel in every major store etc.
