    Perspective going forward...

    Just going to throw this out there.

    I don't want any cupcakes for the Zags going forward. I want them to face every tough team they can. Why? Because I believe in them. I feel any night they can beat whatever team is in front of them. I wanted FSU.... I want Michigan after that... I want Duke/MSU after that and I want a damn rematch with Tennesse or UNC to win the damn title. I want the toughest path because WHEN they win it all, nobody can say they had an easy way to get there. I want them to vanquish old foes and create history.

    Just my 2 cents.

          An unpublished quote from Mark Few. I overheard him saying it after the Baylor game when I was at Vivint Smart Home Arena for the game:

          We choose to go to win the National Championship! We choose to go to win the National Championship...We choose to go to win the National Championship in this year and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard; because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win, and the others, too.

                And especially because we get so much criticism for playing in a cupcake conference

                I want to see us play all the best teams in the country.

                  Yeah, as long as we get to win, right?

                    Nah .... but I CAN hear Fewie using his BEST Kennedy impression to deliver it ....

                    I'm just glad F1D was lurking to overhear this gem.

                    BTW from what I've been reading here .... the "original" was much easier to do than the Zags' task at hand.

                      I don't know, GZ. There's more computing power in the Zags' video room than NASA had when Neil Armstrong landed on the moon.

                      It was my sophomore year at GU that engineering students began using HP handhelds for the first time, at a cost of $400 per.

                          The thing about this west region, which I believe is the strongest of the 4 regions now, is that there will be no "upset" in the Michigan and Texas Tech game. Both squads are pretty much equal, and both really, really good. So if GU gets out of the west to go to the F4, they will have absolutely earned it. It's not until the F4 that Gonzaga could see a team that upset another opponent. Say if Virginia Tech beats Duke and MSU.

                            I have said this since the bracket came out and it’s good timing because I thought about it again this morning. If the Zags do the following I don’t wanna hear another damn Zags hater EVER AGAIN

                            1. Beat florida state and get revenge
                            2. Defeat John Beiliens Michigan Wolverines
                            3. Best Duke full strength (the only team that has done it this season) AND DO IT TWICE
                            4. Beat UNC, or Kentucky for the national title

                              Go big or go home. I am in it for nothing more than the excitement and thrill of watching the Zags play big time games.
