After a thrilling game in the Bracket Buster a year ago, Creighton and Oral Roberts staged a rematch in Omaha on Saturday. Problem was, for 25 minutes the game was rather ordinary, and dare I say, boring? No, I don't dare. Creighton games are never boring. But I'd be remiss if I didn't admit to you that my bag of mini donuts did a better job of entertaining me for most of the first half.

The strange thing is, the Jays led most of the first half, and that's strangely incongruent with what I told you in the first paragraph. If the Jays are winning, no way mini donuts are more entertaining, right? It was a methodical, and wholly unremarkable half of basketball. So I'll stop remarking about it.

I've not been quiet in my hatred for the Jays participation in Bracket Buster Saturday. I think their matchups over the years have on the whole been a joke, and the day just gives ESPN another chance to rip on the Valley. Anyone see Hubert Davis tell a nationwide audience that 24-3 Drake, the regular season MVC champs, are quote "not a lock for the NCAA Tournament"? Even Digger Phelps isn't THAT dumb, but only slightly...

In defense of ESPN, Jay Bilas called him out on it immediately, and Rece Davis made fun of the comment throughout the evening -- even at halftime of Memphis-Tennessee. After reading the highlights of the Drake game, he turned to Hubert and said, "And Hubert still thinks they're not a lock for the tournament!"

Max Univers (not his real name) is a graphic designer and author of two books, neither of which you’ve probably heard of. A 2001 graduate of Creighton University’s Journalism program, Max takes time out of his busy nightlife to share his thoughts on Jays hoops here during the season.

Why Univers? Its his favorite font, plus it just sounds really cool as a surname.

Why Polyfro? Years and years ago, Max had a giant afro wig that he wore as part of a Halloween costume. Not wishing to retire its giant fro awesomeness after the holiday, he began wearing the wig out in public as part of his everyday ensemble. One night at a dance club, the DJ called out the moniker over the soundsystem. Max thought it sounded cool, and purchased the URL shortly thereafter.

More questions? Send me an email: max-at-polyfro-dot-com. I like jokes, story tips, and generally all correspondence involving Bluejay athletics. Emails that point out how stupid I am and/or where I should go after I die are not encouraged.
