Beat decent Baylor and Arizona teams. Beat an okayish LSU team. No bad losses. I'm not saying they should be ranked, but they didn't receive a single vote in either poll.
-
25th in the AP, tied for 24 in the coaches and just barely in there. Still nice to see the voters have a memory longer than 2 days. I kinda expected Minnesota to drop out for the same reason, since they lost to NU on Sunday, but they stuck and didn't drop much. There are quite a few teams that off the top of my head look too high, but you look at the teams below them, and they don't really belong any higher either. Teams that look not as good as a historical ranking in that spot would say: Louisville, Marquette, UCLA, Texas, Xavier, Purdue, Notre Dame, VILLANOVA, St. Mary's, George Mason(yeah they're getting 1 vote, but WHY?) Underrated(maybe?) Butler, Minnesota, Florida, A&M, FSU, Missouri, Utah St., BYU, Miami(FL), Michigan And before somebody comes in here to call me out on the difference between these and Pomeroy. This early in conference season, Pomeroy ratings are skewed by blowouts of terrible teams. Nobody bought into Northwestern as a top 30 team a month ago, these things take time to take real confidence in all of them. It's better to look at them than look at nothing, but it's way too early to put 100% faith behind(my issue with the way Meph used Sagarins around week 4 of football season)

Markakis alone can hit 30. Pie and Jones aren't power hitters, but they're not Jason Tyner. And the Cubs were up about 48 games on the Brewers last year, there was no reason Pie couldn't have stayed in CF and the 8 hole for 130 games last year. Granted, I would have missed out on my manlove for Jim Edmonds, but it was a really dumb decision and pretty typical for the Cubs. -
Man, Kentucky does not deserve to be ranked.
-
This is the game Pomeroy gave IU the best chance at winning(21%) Not that I agreed with him(I think it's Iowa)
-
I bet we lose votes this week.
-
Man, DMac sucked on offense today. Michigan's gonna beat Ohio St. and keep their ranking now.
-
Yeah, an airball chant Doris, that was amazing. She must watch games with Derwood.
-
[expletive] off ESPN, nobody cares about Pitt/Louisville.

Non-threatening rival update.

Nice trolling. -
Tisdale and Davis have been horrible today.
-
You've never heard that before?
-
Shoulda been a tourney team last year, and returned everyone. Time to make your legacy Trent.
-
He had a nice drive and assist down the baseline against Michigan.
-
I mean, Izzo didn't fight it too much(though he already burned a technical), but how could that call have made any sense??? I'm guessing it was a possession arrow thing? Shockingly Doris Burke has no clue.
-
What the hell was that?
-
Recency bias. Both losses were on Saturday. If we lost at Michigan on a Tuesday, then won at Purdue on a Saturday(rather than the other way around) we would be ranked.
-
GAH Doris Burke. She is the worst. And why in the hell is ABC showing Kansas/Colorado instead of Wake/Clemson. Does anyone outside of those campuses want to watch that game?
-
Syracuse just ran them out of the gym. I don't know if it's because ND was gassed or if they just didn't have the athletes to keep up with them, but they looked incredibly slow out there. Harangody was afraid to go strong to the hoop. He needed to take it at Syracuse's big man to get him in some foul trouble, or at least tire him out.
-
This is fine with me, but a better idea is to cut the # of at-large bids to 33.
-
Dan Monson(of Gonzaga & some awful Minnesota teams fame) is Long Beach's coach as well. Do not take Davidson deep in the tourney this year. It's not gonna happen. 1 round tops.

Andruw Jones released
SouthSideRyan replied to B's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Looking back, I phrased that really poorly, but you get the idea. James Adduci couldn't come up and hit like Andruw Jones did, and none of us can hit like Adduci. -
Andruw Jones released

Not a chance. How many people here even played beyond high school? It's either you believe that a random A baller could come up and perform like Andruw Jones did, or that many people on here are good enough to play semi-pro baseball. -

That's why Saban was so shocked. Couldn't believe somebody wouldn't take the highest offer.
