Basketball Times: Jays are Seventh Best in Nation

|
Basketball Times Magazine runs a special report every five years that they call The Best Of The Best. Top Gun references aside, the report ranks only those programs who have won two-thirds of their games over the previous ten years. Duke came out on top in both the 1997 and 2002 rankings, and is once again top dog in the 2007 rankings.

What's more interesting is that our own Creighton Bluejays are ranked #7 in the 2007 list. Here's the top ten, which is a virtual who's-who of college basketball.

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.
