give ryan two years, i think they will be able to compete at the super 7 level by then they have a lot of young kids playing right now and getting experience.

i remember at the beginning of the year when harding fans were talking about how they were going to dethrone ryan from the state championship. i responsed by saying there were "pretenders" and they will be that way again. and as we all have seen, they have managed to choke again. it would be great if they could get out of there region once, so we could see how great they really are. have a fun offseason and try to come watch ryan win the state

well i was on both of those father ryan teams, and i would have to say that the 01-02 team was better. the toughest game of the playoffs is the sectional game in memphis. doesn't matter how we beat harding, so what that i hit a three in OT, but last year, no D-II team could argue with us. we beat every D-II we played, no matter how close or how bad we beat them, we won. that's tough to do. and you said we only had me last year, and that if you shut down me you win. well we only lost 2 games, won 30, so either i never got shut down(which i did) or we had a great team with players that could step up when needed. so until harding actually makes it to the finals and wins, they are pretenders, MBA and Ryan own D-II right now. records now don't mean anything, MBA will be there at the end like always, and everybody in the West will start talking about how good their team is gonna be next seaons. the cycle just keeps on repeating itself, while Ryan probably grabs another state title.

until somebody proves it by beating Father Ryan, they are the best team in Division II. it doesn't matter how much they win by, as long as they win. they can't play great every game, but with the defense they play, they have a chance of winning every game. let's not start the harding talk again this year until they prove they can get out of the region tournament without choking. they are still pretenders right now. Father Ryan = best D-II Team

i'll be at the game saturday against that team from georgia or alabama(think it's one of those) see you there

father ryan wins because of their defense, hard to win when you can't score, NE will know how it feels
