10 Trap '08-'09 Hoops Predictions.

[Vol423]

I don't have time for this pointless argument. You guys are much like PAC-10 fans trying to argue that there conference is superior to the SEC in football. They're clearly delusional, and no amount of arguing will convince them otherwise.

The Clemson team that Ole Miss beat on a neutral floor? Remind me again how many NCAA tournament games Virginia Tech won last year. You are further proof that Kentucky fans are only the second most delusional group of hoops enthusiasts on Earth.

no they weren't.

Who did Clemson beat? Who did VT beat on their road to the NIT? Who did Duke beat (aside from an awful looking Wisconsin team)?

And finally, why do you continue to blather on about the SEC? You were on your high horse about Memphis. At least they had one power in their conference too.

but nobody is arguing about the SEC v the ACC. You shifted there to feel better about the pathetic outfit that was the ACC last season.

Here's something a coach once told me that I've always taken to heart, "The only people who make the RPI a centerpiece of their argument are people who don't know enough about basketball to actually watch and analyze it." I've never been more sure about the accuracy of his statement than right now.

It's hilarious that SEC fans would be throwing stones about the toughness of another conference when the SEC was lousy last year.

RPI is the most irrelevant stat applied to any sport in history. It says absolutely nothing. I dont even know what it actually is supposed to mean.

Said fans almost make me ashamed I went to grad school there.
