Of course that's weirder, the Gophers should be ranked so it isn't weird that they are :P

While I agree Missouri shouldn't be ranked, Minnesota hasn't really proven anything more. They beat an overrated Louisville team at home, Missouri beat an overrated USC team on a neutral floor. The only difference is that Mizzou lost to Xavier.

 

The rankings suck right now anyway. Wake Forest is #6 on the grounds that they are 11-0 on the 196th best schedule in the country.

Check your facts. They played them at a neutral site in Arizona, which certainly isn't home for the Gophers.

 

I don't think the Gophers should be ranked any higher than they are, but there's something to be said for an undefeated team beating a top 10 team on a neutral court that deserves a ranking.

I didn't watch it, but I have to thank you again for the link to Club Trillion. It's really fantastic, as is the continuous torture of Evan Turner.

Titus got in at the end last night, he clearly didnt want anything to do with the ball, or a rebound or an assist.

As most of you recall, I am currently forced to wear shorts that are so close to being pants, I have started calling them shants. And as those who are close to me know, my main goal in life is to bring short shorts back into the fashion forefront. So you can clearly see how a conflict has manifested. Pictured below is the contrast of an ideal world and the harsh reality I currently live

This is a funny statement about those Nike Uni's that teams are forced to wear and what they think about them. Diebler on OSU made the uni folks trim his shorter even.

His post today indicates that he got a steal, meaning no trillion for him. He did say the crowd booed him when he got it though, which I find hilarious.

Ok, but still Louisville lost to Western Kentucky and the Cardinals' only legit win so far is Ole Miss. They're not a top 10 team.

Much like I told Dan, I'm going to take Greg McDermott deep into the woods and leave him someplace where he cannot keep hurting our basketball program.

 

Losing at home to the South Dakota State Jackrabbits. Ugh.

Your other line was way better. "the 5-8 jackrabbits. which is also, ironically, their average height"

Looks like Mizzou is not as good as you thought. Muck Fizzou.

I'm pretty sure I said they didn't deserve to be ranked and if you asked I would have said they aren't any different than the last couple years.

Missouri's performance tonight was one of the worst I've seen. Poor shooting, terrible defense, and literally passing it to the media table. On the other hand, the Legion era at U of I might be funny. He's already pouting on the bench, as he was the only one not standing/cheering with the rest of the team. It's ok, his family thinks he'll go pro early.

He has never cheered even before tonight. Him and Calvin.
