With him, I think we'd be dancing right now with an RPI in the top 100.<br /><br />Now know one is suggesting that DU deserves a trophy - but they do deserve a chance to gain some post-season expereince. A .700 season in D-I is remarkable when you consider where we were, where we are, our academic standards, our unnatractive league, and our lack of tradition.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17196208.post-47150216152446499092012-03-08T08:10:32.360-07:002012-03-08T08:10:32.360-07:00We're 121st in the nation - is that really som...We're 121st in the nation - is that really something to cheer about?
