Is that including all the goons kicked off the puke team?

Maybe since we'll suck all the fairweather fans will go away? Sigh... :(

I'll still be there cheering as much as I can.

A&M is vastly overrated.

I was wondering how CU was ranked 12th since they brought Roby back. But they have eight freshmen and lost just about every other contributor.

That looks about right to me.

A&M is not overrated.......they may well win the Big XII..........They may well have the best coach in the league.....depending on how you feel about Self.

Barnes is a better coach than Self and I don't see how you could argue the other way. Self still has never been to the Final Four despite being a four seed or higher six straight years. He also lost an Elite Eight game to North Carolina (an 8 seed) as the 7 seed at Tulsa.

There's a Final Four coach in the state of Kansas, but it ain't Self.:P

A&M is nothing but smoke and mirrors, much like Sampson's Oklahoma teams.

I'm just thrilled that NU isn't picked last with our 1.75 Big XII caliber players. At least Sadler will be entertaning.

It hurts my f*ckin' teeth to say this...

Barnes IS a better coach than Self. Knight is a better coach than Self. Huggins is a better coach then Self. Samp... d*mn it.

In fact, I think that Gillespie is comparable to Self. I HOPE Capel is.

I know next to nothing about basketball, but I know just enough to think that perhaps 7 is a bit too high.

I know Drew is getting things turned around, but can a basketball ****** ******* explain to me why we'd be ranked in the mid-pack?

Because if you slapped NU,CU,ISU,and MU together you might have enough talent collectively to challenge for a strong NIT team. That's enough to put you in 8th before the word go. Baylor has a lot of people back plus some solid new recruits, and with OU in a state of flux it is reasonable to think that Baylor could be better than OU as well.

You better not be cursing there Baptist boy. :D

That is shocking.

I see us finishing above Mizzou and Baylor, but what the hell do I know.

Viva El Capel!

I see a pattern here: first preseason mag OU is #7,second 2nd preseason mag we are #8.Coaches poll we are #9.I'm thinking that in the media poll we will be #10.
