8pm Eastern.

 

Creighton returns nine lettermen and four starters from last season’s team that finished 20-10. The Bluejays will also get back star guard Nate Funk after the senior missed most of last season with a shoulder injury.
    Much of the preseason discussion has centered on the health of the CU backcourt, most notably Funk and sophomore Josh Dotzler. Funk appears healed, while Dotzler continues to rehab from off-season knee surgery. Look for him to be eased into the line-up as his health progresses.
    Nick Porter, Dane Watts and Anthony Tolliver also return to the starting five. Porter was MVC Newcomer of the Year in 2006, while Tolliver was tabbed captain of the MVC’s Most Improved Team. Watts owns 53 straight starts at power forward.
    A highly-ballyhooed recruiting class of seven newcomers will also look to make a difference. Kansas transfer Nick Bahe will fight with true freshmen D’Angalo Jackson and Isacc Miles for time in the backcourt. Redlands CC transfer Ty Morrison will see time on the wing and post. Freshmen Aaron Brandt and Casey Harriman both play the wing but are redshirt candidates. Sophomore Chad Millard will sit out the season after transferring in from Louisville.
    Creighton is ranked 19th in the preseason Associated Press poll and 23rd in the preseason USA Today/ESPN Coaches Poll. The Bluejays also were picked to win the MVC in a preseason poll of league coaches, SID’s and media.

I was all right for a while, I could smile for a while
But I saw you last night, you held my hand so tight
As you stopped to say "Hello"
Aww you wished me well, you couldn't tell

That I'd been cry-i-i-i-ng over you, cry-i-i-i-ng over you
Then you said "so long". left me standing all alone
Alone and crying, crying, crying cry-i-ing
It's hard to understand but the touch of your hand
Can start me crying

I thought that I was over you but it's tru-ue, so true
I love you even more than I did before but darling what can I do-o-o-o
For you don't love me and I'll always be

Cry-i-i-i-ng over you, cry-i-i-i-ng over you
Yes, now you're gone and from this moment on
I'll be crying, crying, crying, cry-i-i-ing
Yeah crying, crying, o-o-o-o-ver you

A RESEARCH RANT.

From AdAge:

"The "road show," as Gateway refers to its roving interviewers, is the basis for a real-time focus-group campaign born out of research done by Gateway's strategy and research agency of four years, OBI Industries. Each interview is recorded digitally in black and white for a documentary-like feeling and uploaded onto a microsite, www.AskandDeliver.com, which launches today. With each interview upload, the website will not only track the percentage of people who want specific options for their computers, but the company also will measure how many "asks" they are able to deliver. "

Sorry to get off on a rant here, but...

Focus groups are qualitative, not quantitative. They answer questions of WHY and HOW not "how many" and "percentages."

To say nothing of the kind of quantitative certainty that comes from treating respondents who are willing to submit data in this way as some sort of projectable sample. Enough.  

It is just this kind of imprecise BS that makes me hoppin' mad -- I'm so sick of people using data in ways that it CAN'T be used - this kind of crap makes my day-to-day work too hard.

I guess this kind of thing explains why Gateway has disappeared off the face of the earth.


Ok (whew!) - I'm done. Thanks for listening.

B - "The prophesy has been realized. Now I begin my conquest of Earth."

Sometimes its hard to be a woman

Giving all your love to just one man

You'll have bad times

And he'll have good times

Doing things that you don't understand

But if you love him you'll forgive him

Even though he's hard to understand

And if you love him

Oh be proud of him

'Cause after all he's just a man

Stand by your man

Give him two arms to cling to

And something warm to come to

When nights are cold and lonely

Stand by your man

And tell the world you love him

Keep giving all the love you can

Stand by your man

Stand by your man

And show the world you love him

Keep giving all the love you can

Stand by your man
