respect your opinion but this is kind of whiney. Richmond, Dayton and Xavier beat BCS schools....hell Oakland went to Tenn and whipped #7. I think its silly to make excuses some of which just are not accurate. You sound like a 2nd grader on this. The Dukes can beat BCS teams....just need to get better players like X, Dayton and Richmond. -- Duquesne Dukes Basketball Forum

In reply to: El Duque 's message, "Kind of a shallow perspective, don't you think? Ignores some of the obvious benefits that BCS teams have with their, um, "enhanced training practices." That's the difference between the BCS teams and the rest. I mean, look at the size difference between DU and both WVU and Penn State and we could've won either game because we have talented kids, We just can't turn 'em into thoroughbreads the way other schools can.

Whiney? Sound like a second grader? You are typically more capable of having a conversation on a higher plane and intellectual level. I am neither complaining nor making excuses; it's fairly common knowledge that the BCS teams have the advantages to which I refer, While non-BCS teams occassionally succeed against them, go look at the percentages, They will support my argument. Duke, BTW, belongs to the ACC. (NT) -- El Duque, Wednesday, December 15, 07:04:49am
- fair enough...I did not mean to come accross as a name caller however those were my first thoughts. Non-BCS teams have the same access to enhancements and whatever you believe is to be the difference....I don't think this is a factor because these products are so available to ANYONE...not just BCS teams. RE needs to get players that can beat BCS teams...simple as that. (NT) -- Greg, Wednesday, December 15, 02:12:30pm
  - Greg, it usually works through the football trainers. That's the difference. Think about it. We have a couple guys who are solidly built (Saunders, Clark, Marhold). They don't weigh that much, and they have some spindly legs. WVU, just as an example, is loaded with some hefty guys who run the court with our guys. Not accusing WVU of anything; just saying.
