Not the most stellar wins from these teams, Miami and Marquette the exceptions. Both had great tourney runs last week.

I'd trade Jacksonville for any one of these teams (except Iowa of course).

I think you're low on Depaul, keep in mind, only they are keeping Northern Iowa from being undefeated right now, including a big win on the road at Iowa State last night, giving them only their second loss (oh yeah, I guess they roughed up Boston College too).

Take your potshots, it's early, but I like the way the core is shaping up, and for as ugly as the start has been, I'm amazingly only 21 pts out of the lead.

Ouch, I thought Wash was going to take that one. Either Tech is better than expected or Washington joins the crappy Pac 10 field. Regardless, I think this moves Texas Tech up the Best undrafted teams ladder a bit.

The real litmus test for Tech is how they do against Oklahoma, who is in the Big 12, but belongs in the Pac 10 this year. I would like Clemson to move to the Pac 10 too.

Wisconsin is now the center of basketball - UWGB and UW Milwaukee tearing up the midmajors, while Marquette and UW are seemingly in charge of the majors. I hate Iowa.

Cheers to Wisconsin teams for performing well early in the season.

Jeers to Jut for continuing his silly ridicule of Iowa's b-ball program.

Picking on Iowa this year is kind of like making fun of the retarded kid at school. Sure it's easy, but that just makes it less, not more funny. If one of us were defending Iowa's program it might mean something, but as it is Jut's just picking low hanging fruit.

Yeah, quit picking on the retarded kid!

By the way, did you see the story about the football game where team A was blowing out team B, so on the last play the coaches talked and team A let the down syndrome kid on team B run for a 60 yard touchdown? The defense actually "pretended" to try to tackle him!

I can tell you THAT won't be made into a TV Movie on Lifetime.

Anyone want to put money on the Jacksonville Florida game? I'm cash poor and need good odds, so I'll put a dollar on Jacksonville if someone puts $100 on Florida.

Any takers? One crispy dollar bill could be yours!

You're not good for your money.

It must be time for a chart

My game of the night, 5-1 Colorado at Oregon St, can they build on the momentum from their Thansgiving weekend win out in Washington DC and defeat Colorado as well. I have to apologize to whoever drafted Oregon St, you see, any team the CEO drafted, or wanted to draft, is doomed to underachieve this year, so I am to blame for their poor start (not the whole PAC 10, just Oregon St).

Oh, Akaoni, Clemson is going to take their frustration out on South Carolina on Saturday, and only lose by 15, enjoy your three points

Unfortunately Turtle, Oklahoma is going to build on their "huge" win over Arkansas and take down Arizona on Sat

akaoni said...

How about this ron, I'll give you a dollar if they win and you can give me a penny if they lose. I think those are closer to your stakes.

*ZING*
*POW*

akaoni said...

Also, I think I've overestimated South Carolina a bit. I think Clemson takes care of them easily.

Anonymous said...

ha ha hhahhahaa. That might be the funnies conclusion ever to come out of our challenge. Iowa = Retarded kid.

And no one had issue with the love given to New Mexico coach.

Ron said...

He is dead to us.

Ron said...

Akaoni - no deal. I'm saving my penny because lots of pennies add up to enough money to buy something.

Ron said...

Big win for the Pac-10 as Oregon St defeats Colorado! Pac-10 is now 39-25 in pre-conference play, compared to the Big-10: 51-24, and the Big West: 33-23...

You left off the Missouri Valley Conference (44-18) heading into today, with some signifant wins against the SEC (Auburn, Vanderbilt), the Big 12 (Iowa State), Conf USA (Tulsa), Big 10 (Iowa, Illinois), ACC (Boston College), Sun Belt (Western Kentucky), only Drake really sucks, Creighton has a losing record, but played a tough schedule, with 10 pt or less losses to Xavier, Dayton, and Michigan. I think they'll be a multi bid conf this year based on play to date
