What’s in a Name?
A nice little sidebar is developing over on the White and Blue Review’s board – The Bluejay Underground.com One poster, OmahaGuy started a thread on finding a Backcourt Nickname for the Jays guards…

One (VJay) came up with WTF (Watson, Thomas, Foster). Another (Slaw) came up with MoFo (Maurice “Mo”, Foster “Fo”).
Then ol’ whiteandblue77 had a stroke of genius with this…

Omaha.com/Nyatawa – Creighton’s Bench crew
Same page… Shatel stated on The Bottom Line (TBL) video that if Creighton beats Villanova on NY Eve, the Jays will be mentioned as a FF contender.
Same page, different TBL video…Nyatawa balked when asked if Creighton rises to #1 with a win over Villanova. Nyatawa and Severe settled out at #4 or #5 in the polls.
However that presumes that CU will not already be 4th or 5th by the 31st of December.
Allow a nonbiased journalist lend an assist here. Creighton, with probable wins over ORU, Arizona St, and Seton Hall upcoming – should be in the #4-#6 range with a bit of help by others losing, on the 31st of December.
If the Jays are in fact #4-#6 by the 31st, AND should they beat #1, undefeated, Villanova on New Years’ Eve… Creighton will climb into the #1 spot in the AP and Coaches Polls! …gtmoBlue
Jon & Mike’l…I can understand your wanting to hedge and couch expectations with the CU MBB team. This is new territory for both you and the Jays. Comes with being a good team in a top conference. As you said the Bluejay profile has risen with the membership in the Big East.This Jay team is for real. Get on the bandwagon and enjoy the ride.
