I"m guessing we're burning it to CD because you don't know how to transfer it onto a portable HD or flash drive?

I thought about that, but I didn't think it would be as fun to destroy. You jackass. :wink:

The most sad part about this thread is, the title. It's now 45 years, not 39. Gotta wonder what the percentage of people on here were even alive the last time it happened. I know I wasn't and I am 40. Sad, sad, sad.....
GO BG!!!

Imagine if you were a freshman at BG right now. Could you possibly witness the four worst consecutive seasons in program history?

If anyone is interested here is the list of those who have gone longer than BG between tournament appearances:

Columbia: Division I since 1948. Last appeared in 1968.
Tennessee Tech: Division I since 1956. Last appeared in 1963.
Yale: Division I since 1948. Last appeared in 1962.
Maine: Division I since 1962.
New Hampshire: Division I since 1962.
Dartmouth: Division I since 1948. Last appeared in 1959.
Army: Division I since 1948.
Citadel: Division I since 1948.
Northwestern: Division I since 1948.
St. Francis (N.Y.): Division I since 1948.
William & Mary: Division I since 1948.

The list has shrunk by 3 since it was first posted in 2007. American University went in 2008 and 2009, Harvard did the same last year and again this year, and Centenary dropped Division 1 athletics a year ago.

And a school like Florida Golf Coast went last year in less than 10 years of D1.


Which will come first, Detroit Lions win a playoff game or BG makes the NCAA Tournament

Went? FCGU not only went, but crashed the Sweet 16 as a friggin 15 seed!! You'd get tossed out of the Hollywood studio with a script like that.
