I'm trying to remember the last time state college of bozeman was ranked as low as #42 in the country!

:lol: :thumb: :lol:

I tried to warn the board, in pre-season, how bad the kitty defense was... :idea:

cool that NAU and SUU will both be ranked and in playoff contention for the game in Cedar City. and of course a chance to take home the "coveted" HintonBurdick Grand Canyon Trophy.

Be still my beating heart! :lol: :lol:

The pollsters were much more reasonable about the SUU lost (to a higher-ranked team) than I thought ... which is good to see. On the other hand, even though they did move NAU into the top-25 (as I predicted), the pollsters slotted them in a couple spots lower than I expected. But that means that two of the three upcoming games that offer matchups between ranked teams, two are in the Big Sky,

FWIW: Harvard was one of my bigger misses .. . I thought they’d hang in there better than a drop from #12 to #19. But my biggest miss was The Citadel ... I thought they’d drop out of the top-25, but they just managed to hang on.

Oh well, I nailed the important one -- Griz at #17.

For the record, Hinton Burdick is a rotten son of a bitch! He once dry-gulched me in a tavern in Cedar City and then ran off with my 4th wife.

Not one Big Sky team in the top 10. Wow. That is not good.

Pretty much confirms what several have said already -- not too likely that any Big Sky team will get a high seed.
