2015-16 Season Note: WBR is following practices and the Saturday morning Scrimmage (17Oct15).
Bluejay Madness was held Saturday evening – 17 Oct 15. Sparse crowd as students are on fall break, MLB playoffs, College and Pro football, etc. Guys were not at their best…2 scrimmages in one day. Creighton Rivals has a BJ Madness topic thread, if you have rivals access.
The Sports illustrated BE Preview has stirred the nest in Omaha. Looks as though 4 folks cut n pasted it together, 3 writers and a stats projection guy. WBR’s Patrick Marshall, @Wildjays , spoke with (correction) Dan Hanner via a twitter series. Hanner is quasi optimistic about the Jays.
