Hey folks…

Whether military or civil – good to see you checking in on the Jays.  I remember back in the day (DSS) getting up at 2 or 3 AM, to go watch a game (football, Super Bowl, basketball)  at ASU (SWA) in Bahrain.  What sports fans will do for their fix.  
The Jays will be on tap for 26 Reg Season games – mainly Fox Sports 1 (a couple on CBS).  AFRTS should pick up many of the games, plus Creighton has the online streaming via credit card…in the past the streaming quality has been average to poor – be forewarned.  I will be more consistent this season with a post per week.
Also plan to frequent the Jays page on FS1 online, as well as the 2 regular boards:
http://www.bluejaybanter.com (Creighton.rivals.com)
http://www.creighton.scout.com is up but infrequent posts.
The boards above are the main places where the bulk of CU fans post.  Not so much use of team pages on the major media sites (Nbc, Cbs, ESPN, SI, Sport’g News).  
In case you haven’t noticed – I am definitely biased and a Homer, and proud of it!  Please continue to drop by for Jays related articles and news.  It’s gonna be a Great year for Creighton (Soccer, Volleyball, Basketball, and the rest)!  Thanks for coming.

The Season is Upon Us… 


Finally.  The 2014 basketball season is upon us.  Practices have begun in earnest.  Bluejay Madness is here.  A scrimmage – 26 Oct vs Iowa and a pre-season game – 07 Nov vs Sioux Falls have been scheduled.  Lastly, the season opener is set for 14 Nov 2014, vs Central Arkansas.  Twenty six (26) Jays games will be nationally televised – please refer to/download the schedule from GoCreighton.com .

Bluejay Madness will be part of Fox Sports1 basketball kickoff program (17 Oct 2014) again this season.  I asked the SID if it will also be online for those outside of the US. Yes, streaming video at  GoCreighton.com

Key early tilts are:  

19 Nov – #19 Oklahoma – Omaha,
23 & 25 Nov – Emerald Coast Classic (ECC) – NC Central/E. Illinois – Omaha,  
28 Nov – Mississippi @ ECC, Florida,  
29 Nov – Cincinnati or Middle Tennessee @ ECC, Florida, 
03 Dec – @ Tulsa 
07 Dec – @ #21 Nebraska
13 Dec – St Mary’s, Cal.
Note:  St. Mary’s has a ton of now eligible transfers and while it may take time for this group to mesh, they are in the also receiving votes section of the polls.  They will be in the mix for bubble bids in March.  


Don’t miss Bluejay Madness – I am expecting (hoping for, praying for) a big surprise.  We shall see?  
Sports Illustrated cited Will and Devin as breakthrough scorers, Austin as a top assist guard for this season.
