Yeah, that tells me all I need to know about it. Surprising that Wichita State doesn't get a #1 vote every time then. What a croc of shiite.

Hey cats, having a mid-major top 25 is like having a "Fat Chicks of 2010' calendar. If you aint in the top 25, really what does it matter? Neither of us are, but I dont want my school to aspire to be mid-major. I want the dance, and the real top 25, the rest is just crap to make the other schools feel important. I mean really, Northern Iowa is ranked higher than Gonzaga? CMON MAN, that whole list is a sham, who votes on it?

Well, at least one of your puppydog fans must disagree with your sentiment, since he started this thread when the puppy's were receiving a whole "12" votes in the "others receiving votes" category......

You guys like to throw rocks don't you.... taking lessons from kingaling-ading I guess....LMAO !!!!

Cats, I cant speak for other posters. But IMO our goal should not be to make the 'mid-major' gregg marshall propaganda poll. How bout we strive for something higher than recognized mediocrity? I mean look at the coaches who vote on that garbage, everyone of those guys would rather be in the real top 25,they probably have an assistant fill that out. Your post about throwing stones makes absolutely no sense by the way.

This might be the most creative single word/thought in this entire thread. And its not really that creative or funny at all.... Am I going to have to put up with this banter for the rest of the year?

[kingaling42]

I dunno, but probably so..

I thought the "Fat Chicks of 2010" calendar analogy was pretty funny actually- it's pretty insightful of how we do celebrate mediocrity & get excited about it as well..
