The BIG EAST is horrible. Multiquote that one.

I believe the term you are looking for is "garbage".

I believe the term you are looking for is "garbage".

If you need a modifier, I suggest "hot."

No idea where to put this, but did anyone just see the comments by The NC State AD and Bill Battle (Alabama AD)?

NC State AD: "Youve failed atheletes [in financial responsibility] when you see them on hoverboards"
Bill Battle: "Or Tattoos and rims"

.... wow ...

Like an Alabama football player would actually have to pay for Tats and Rims.

The real failure is the NCAA and their near indentured servant rules on how college athletes can earn money.

Are you really bored enough with me ignoring you that you're now baiting me?

Hm.. ok.


But yes, the BIG EAST is hot 33 year old Brooks Landfill garbage.

That was yesterday. Today it is:
Iowa - 38
USC - 48
Tulsa - 51
Alabama - 59

And WSU is only at 124 with a current SOS of 38 about to play three games against:
UNLV - 39
Utah - 16
Seton Hall - 32

We win these three and it's like nothing ever happened.

Current Pomeroy rankings:
Iowa - 19
USC - 42
Tulsa - 57
Alabama - 92

UNLV - 70
Utah - 37
Seton Hall - 53

Current Pomeroy rankings:
Iowa - 19
USC - 42
Tulsa - 57
Alabama - 92

UNLV - 70
Utah - 37
Seton Hall - 53

I'm just thrilled that we didn't drop a bunch of games to teams that are actually BAD. I know their numbers will move around a ton over the next few months, but after this many games, these rankings start to gain a little value. If we can pull off a few good wins here, we can get back to the good ole days of hyping the crap out of our team again :) I'm looking forward to being ridiculous with my hyperbole again.

Where are we currently?

You literally quoted me a mere 2 posts prior. Your "ignore Jamar" streak lasted all of 1 post. Good job. Good effort.

It wasn't that long ago I ignored you for months on end. If this is suddenly a game you are interested in playing, how about you give that a try? I doubt the board would complain.

Where are we currently?

40. Next highest team with record under 500 is Temple at 83.

Pomeroy currently has WSU at 40.

Can't complain about that. Now if we can get a couple of wins this week, that should be a nice boost.

[Dave Stalwart]

Dare I say that Pomeroy is the one metric that kinda never lost faith?

[ShockerFever]

You literally quoted me a mere 2 posts prior. Your "ignore Jamar" streak lasted all of 1 post. Good job. Good effort.

Can you explain to me where I quoted you a "mere 2 posts prior?"

Unless you have multiple screennames, I am perplexed on that one. Pending the answer to my question, ... subpar effort.

[proshox]

When does Pomeroy lower pre season expectations as part of his rankings?

[Dave Stalwart]

Creighton is playing Nebraska at home tonight. After that loss to Loyola, their replacement in the MVC, there is only one thing worse that can happen.
