Dickie V vs. Blue Ribbons Top 25 Rankings.

So, we know the man on ESPN has his favs. Yes, he can be a lil much, but you have to love his passion for the game. I am not making this to trash his or anything, I just want some info out for the forum to get talking. I will of course have to bash where he has that team down 15-501 in Durham. Without further ado...

Now, I think you always have some teams that are just the name (none bigger than those Devils). I see Ville WAY to high. I watched them play G'town(KY) and they are a team to fade ATS to start, Pitino will have them going later. He has Mich up high, cause their Mich I guess. A early test, which I will be at, UCONvicts and Tucky.I think this will be a great test. Dickie is obviously drinking A LOT of Blue Kool-aid. They aren't the #2 team, maybe after a yr they get better, but Blue Ribbon makes a much more realistic 7 spot. I think you have to look at Butler, #16 & #11 in the ranks.  I will wait to see the SEC guys opinion(coverditty, you out there?) on the Vols. #10 and #14? Some of the other problems with Dickie's

17) ILL    18) FSU  21) GT -behind FSU?  23) FLA?

I see this as  couple of things. 1) A lot of B10+1 love. i think the top teams should be getting it. ILL ahead of OSU, no. Then, we are tring to make this football season? FLA? Yeah, you love him as a coach, but that doesn't make his squad good Dickie!!!! He ahs them above OhSU, MD, Dayton, Xavier, Clemson and Okie ST. I do like that he had Miss ST up there. I might be drinking their Kool-Aid as well, Blue Ribbon not giving any love.

BR gives some love for the "lil guy" and I respect that. Butler, Dayton and Siena getting love. They seem to be high on GT (they love Favors) and Minny. I would like to hear why people have "Cuse in the Top 15? I am waiting to see this kid Mason-Given for OK. I see it that they think OK runs the ball up court and they need the 3 to keep them in games, since KU, UT are going to eat them alive on the boards.

As always, let's here what you guys think. I always know, just like Steele does, they like to pick a couple of the "I told you so" teams. maybe thats what their Minny and Dayton plays are. I like Dayton as a sleeper Sweet 16. I , as most should, will wait for Crus thinking on this, along with Blake's. BR also has a lot of love for Ohio ST.

woop- You know for sure I will be there on Nov 19th/20th.

Have only gotten to see the Heels there once EVER. Preseason NIT when they won it.

jpero- I think the UCONN backcourt should be enough to beat Puke. I can't remember a team that had no PG that was ever that high in the rankings. We all know how I felt t upabout Paulus, but he at least had experience.

Woop- Might not make it up to BC, def going to be at Coaches vs. Camcer. I want Cuse to make it to the finals, but I doubt they get past the 1st game. i might have to go to the Thur games just to hear the garden silent when Cuse loses. Nothing better.

Here is what the AP has:

Quit your bitching and crying you little baby.  I went to UConn, I KNOW WHAT THE PLAYERS DO... THEY WERE IN MY APARTMENT EVERYDAY   IT IS NOT BIASED IT IS VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY REAL   I watched Kemba Walker play and practice many times while I was still a student at UConn... not very impressed at all.  And as for Gavin Edwards shut up already.  You should see the text messages he sends this girl I know they are pathetic.  He is as soft as they come.  As for academics this team is as fucking dumb as they get... Stanley retard Robinson... Okwandu academically ineligable retard... the rest of them squeeking by while arrest after arrest drug test after drug test failed...  This is not bias... this is actual first hand account.  You want to talk about Wiggins, you want to talk about Price, you want to talk about these characters I have 100% irrefutable evidence like I have said time and time and time again.  So stop calling me on bullshit

Stanley Robinson on Oriakhi: "I think Alex is a beast. He's just like Jeff Adrien but taller, stonger when he came in, just a better version. But consistency? I don't know because I haven't seen him play yet."

It's like you took the words right out of his mouth...
