Is ASU better off?

It would have been great to make the bog show, because that's a step that making the NIT isn't IMO.

However, there are still a lot of positives to be taken from the NIT. Going deep or winning it all would be fantastic, too. I just hope they can make it to the semis so I can see them at MSG!

chicken, your post jogged some memories.

Last time I was at MSG was in 1969 to see Janis Joplin.

That same fall, I think, I watched Tom Seaver get to within 1 out of a perfect game against the Cubs in Shea stadium. I had never seen a baseball game before and was clueless to what was going on.

And, still that same incredible summer, in a perfect moment of ignorance, while staying with my cousins in Passaic, NJ, waiting to go to freshman orientation late in September at Notre Dame, I declined my cousins' invitation to ride with them up to this thing called Woodstock.

Sounded boring on a hot day. They never made it. Traffic was at gridlock and they turned back after hours of no movement about 10 miles away from Woodstock.

Of course, you're probably young and none of this means anything to you. Old man's meandering off-topic. Sorry.

Go Devils.

Well, I wasn't born until the late 70s but those are some pretty well known names you're dropping there...great stories!

I have a friend whose first baseball game was a Nolan Ryan no-hitter. On the way home his dad kept making sure he understood that not every baseball game was like that.
