Back in the day…the ’70’s…Roberta Flack’s song: “Where is the Love” lamented on the failure of

a suitor to fulfill his promise. A promise of love broken and unfulfilled. Such are affairs of the heart.

In college hoops it seems that the media’s affections are just as fickle and fleeting. This year it appears that the Jays are one of the beneficiaries of the media pundits annual flings. We are 2011’s “Mid-major of the moment”, the early season’s darling and popular pick.

IMO it is late and overdue, but I shall enjoy it while it lasts, as being a media darling is generally a short-lived run, akin to Miss America, winner of last years’ American Idol, and the like. I suppose this season is the Jays “15 minutes of fame” or thereabouts. Make the most of it.

The Jays have received a good deal of positive press from numerous sources regarding the upcoming season. I expect more of the same as the season approaches. ESPN has Creighton as part of their ESPN Midnight Madness feature on the 14th of October, as one of the eleven schools to be aired nationally. (Probably means we made their pre-season poll as well.) Their hoops guy Andy Katz has been trumpeting the Jays frequently as of late, and was on Bluejay Banter recently, as well.
