Drew22 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 ESPN/USA Today Top 259. Memphis13. Kansas18. Michigan24. CaliforniaMemphis - too highKansas - too highMichigan - too lowCalifornia - wtf?On the subject of UNC being ranked no. 1, it's a pretty obvious choice.I think the most absurd thing was St. John's getting 11 votes, losing 11 seniors (or 8 I forget which) and having 3 incoming freshman ruled ineligible be damned. I mean, I'm glad St. John's is back to being relevant in the Big East, but come onI read something that St. John's was holding open tryouts and was going to have to take something like 5 walkons, with a couple getting decent PT.No way they compete in the Big East.

DCDuck Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 19. New Mexico23. CreightonBoth of these teams are actually as good as advertised. They might not get much press being mid-majors and all, but they are going to be solid when the season rolls around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thespleenenator Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Well, first day of the season. Should be exciting. College football is my first love, but it will fun to be humbled by how much Oregon will suck this year. Why you make fun of me? I make concept for Auburn champions and you make fun of me. I cry tears.Chopping off the dicks of Filipino boys and embracing causes that promote bigotry =/= strong moral character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwabel Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 New Texas A&M coach Billy Kennedy, age 47, diagnosed with early stages of Parkinson's. "As some of you know, I have been experiencing neck and shoulder pain for several months. While not debilitating, the pain has affected my ability to sleep with any duration or regularity. As a result of this and my schedule, I had reached a state of exhaustion and was advised by my attending physician to take some time to restore my strength and to further explore the underlying cause of my discomfort. Through testing, it has been discovered that I am dealing with an early stage of Parkinson's disease. At this time, I am heeding the advice of my doctors and addressing the disease and its symptoms. We have begun a long-term treatment plan and recovery. My doctors are encouraged and are telling me I will be able to come back soon. I am very grateful for the outpouring of support and the prayers from friends, family and the Aggie Network. We have a good prognosis, be encouraged, and join with me in eager anticipation for the success that awaits us. My intention is to return to the court as soon as it is prudent. Until my return, I have great confidence in Coach (Glynn) Cyprien and the staff I have assembled to lead this great group of young men and this basketball program."

DCDuck Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 The two teams I follow, Buffalo and Marquette, are both looking to have a good year next year. UB has never played in the NCAA Tournament before and I think this is their year to win the MAC. Watch out for Javon McCrea.Buffalo is also one of six teams who have been playing D-1 basketball for over 100 years but have never made the NCAA Tournament.Can anyone name the other five?Hmm, Northwestern's obvious, I'll also go with Dartmouth. Yeah, that's all I can think of right nowI can't believe I forgot about this.It's a nice little bit of trivia that many college hoops fans simply don't know about, but the other five are Northwestern, Army, The Citadel, St. Francis (NY) and William & Mary.
