^I'm glad you're being reasonable about this and I know I come across as a jerk sometimes about this stuff, but you really have to hammer it home sometimes to get the truth out there. A lot of people are operating in a world of myth like we did in 1972 when we played the Russians and then they hammered the point in to us.

You say Canada basketball wasn't good in the 80's. Says who? You just weren't exposed to it. I saw the AUAA back then and they were mostly all good teams. Like isaidso, I was a Dal Tiger guy back then, the UVic Vikings could have played in MM easily.

Canadians want to see Canadians, I honestly don't know why we are being fed a steady stream of American sports unless it's to cater to a large area that is still buying into a myth from the 80s.
