Didn't I already warn you about posting links such as these? Did your momma drop you on your head when you were a child?

When we're #14 and #15 in the major polls, I don't care where we are on "that" poll. Actually, since we're not one of "those," I'm not sure I ever care where we are in "that" poll.

Well, if you are number 1 in "that poll" ahead of teams like Gonzaga it is a pretty good indicator of your chances of getting one of the 6 or 8 spots in the big dance allotted to at large teams that are included in "that poll".

What was the article about?

Something about us being a mmmm...a mmmi...mmmmid...mmmm--I just can't say it.

[CBB_Fan]

What was the article about?

If I remember correctly, it was a BleacherReport article on the "Mid-Major Top 25." Some members oppose the mid-major label enough to attack posters that post articles using it. I wouldn't go that far, though I hope we eventually become one of the teams excluded from such a list.

[SubGod22]

I'd attack someone just for linking something from Bleacher Report. The other part of it just makes it worse.

[Aargh]

As long as we're listed in this poll, if we lose a single game, we can drop from top 15 to "Other Receiving Votes" with a single loss.

[jocoshock]

Stop. Please. I don't care how many times it mentions us, posting articles perpetuating the lie that we're mid-major should not be posted on here. We are NOT mid-major. We go through this every week.

Are we really that insecure? Guess so....

As long as we are in a so-called mid-major conference, this is a cross that we will bear. We can wear it standing straight up and looking people in the eye, or we can be defensive about it...

When I CHOSE to attend WSU way back when, I didn't worry about what others thought about it. I attended with PRIDE. I don't care what other think or others call us. You shouldn't either. You should only care that we WIN. That is the only thing that will change perception over the long run...

Unless of course you seek legislative or politically correct solution...

Just because someone improperly lables you as something doesn't mean you have to embrace it and repeat it everywhere you go.

No you don't have to embrace it and you don't have to repeat it, but you don't have to shy away from it or apologize for it or be thin skinned about it either. There is some pretty good company in that list: Gonzaga, Butler, Creighton, Memphis... Nothing to be ashamed of. To be called the best of that group is something to be proud of and something for the so-called majors to fear.

On those RARE occasions when anyone from a major school (especially KU/KSU) attempts to trash-talk about our respective teams, the conversation is short. "Until your team is willing to play my team home and home, you have nothing to brag about." And I ask them the same question I just asked folks on this board...

Are you really that insecure?

[SubGod22]

Wow. So if you have issues with it, that means you're insecure? That logic just isn't logical.
