Tom Keegan, Lawrence Journal-World and KUsports.com here. Here's my blog on what happened at 2:29 this morning when I mistakenly left Shockers off my ballot. Please pass along to other Wichita State fans. Thanks.

Likely story, Mr. Beaker. You couldn't muster the courage to put lowly mid-major Little Brother one slot higher than the vaunted Chickenhawks. And you only SAY you want the matchup in order to expand your market, knowing full well that you can rest at night knowing it will NEVER happen. Like a politician that knows guns in society are critical for keeping a tyrranical government at bay, but jumping on any soapbox to shout them down in order to win the female vote (but secretly thanking your stars that the NRA lobbies for your freedom daily).

We're on to you you fork-toungued snake. And we know your species too, Mr. Hawkaconda. Keep hissin' and kiss our gluten.

Which link was that? the link in the OP doesn't say anything about #11.

From the link in the op:

I cut Wichita State without pasting in attempting to move the Shockers to 11th and didn’t notice the mistake when reviewing my top 25 for the final time before sending it.

Okay, now I see it. For some reason, when I clicked the link earlier, here is all it showed.

Gainesville, Fla. — The second consecutive brutal travel day was halfway done when I checked my phone for messages during a layover in Atlanta.

Uh-oh.

Four voice mails from the Associated Press man in charge of compiling the college basketball poll from his 65 voters, the first coming a few minutes after the flight from Kansas City to Atlanta took off. The last came shortly after it landed, informing me, as it turned out, it was too late.

My first fear was that the ballot I had e-mailed at 2:29 a.m. Monday was lost in cyberspace, out there somewhere in never land, where bags lost by airlines end up.
