The legend of G:TB appears to be spreading. We were approached last week by Mat Shelton of
VCU Ram Nation to participate in a CAA Bloggers' Poll of the league's teams, no doubt because of our in-depth analysis of pseudonymic Jets/Bills fans and the threat posed by the Large Hadron Collider*. Unfortunately, the poll requires us to actually think critically about the CAA's teams, so our contribution may skew the overall results, given that the other contributors include such CAA experts as Michael "MGL" Litos of
CAA: Life as Mid-Major fame, Brian Mull of the
Wilmington Star News, and Jerry Beach of
Defiantly Dutch.
We're not one to shrink from a challenge, though, so we leapt at the chance. The first week's results follow, with number of first-place votes in parentheses (we were the lone VCU first-place vote, on the strength of their performance at Alabama):
1. Northeastern (3)
2. George Mason (3)
3. VCU (1)
4. ODU
5. JMU
6. Drexel
7. Hofstra
8. Delaware
9. Georgia State
10. UNCW
11. William & Mary
12. Towson
* We trust you all saw the news yesterday about the man arrested outside the LHC claiming to be from the future. His name is Eloi Cole, and in a very strange development, every news story about him has disappeared from the internet. I don't really have to spell this out for you, do I?
she's a pole, in case you're wondering
ReplyDeleteI bet a Morlock ate Eloi.
ReplyDeleteC.H.U.D.
ReplyDeleteNortheastern's the best team in the CAA this year? JJ Barea is very proud, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteDid not realize women tennis players are forced to dance after they win.

Is this the reason the Zman watches women's tennis?
In an interview with Esquire, Dwight Howard said: "There's more you can do in a bigger place. I'm stuck in a tough position because I feel like right now, where I'm at, I've done so much. And I just don't know what else I can do."
ReplyDeleteUm, you can win a title, improve your low-post game even more and start trying to shoot free throws better than me. How's that for a start, Dwight?
this may be self-evident, but doesn't the colts' season make the argument that peyton manning is the most valuable player to his specific team in the history of ever?
ReplyDeleteOther than Scott Howard? Yes.
ReplyDeletei heard michio kaku talking on npr yesterday about the large hadron collider. it's funny that it actually exists and some people work there. apparently, they are using it to prove string theory, which will simplify physics into 11 dimensions.

ReplyDeleteI was going to counter rob's argument with MJ but then I remembered that the Bulls almost went to the '94 Finals, but for Hue Hollins and Hubert Davis. So I agree with rob.
ReplyDeletemike leach to wazzu. the jolly roger sails again.
ReplyDeleteSeems some Red Sox players are grumbling about the selection of Bobby V. I'd say that's just more evidence that management hired the right guy. (As is the fact that the Mets' think tank didn't hire him.)
ReplyDeleteIf you didn't read Tim Kurkjian's impassioned piece on Valentine, it's pretty good. Read it here.
So Cuse players slept with Laurie Fine as a right of passage? This story is straight bananas. What the hell might come out next?
ReplyDeleteChester McGlockton passed away today. Bad week for large men of color born in 1969. Shawn Kemp's kids had better watch out for him.
ReplyDeletei hope igor's getting some kind of commission from bobby v.
ReplyDeletetribe getting whipped. again.

ReplyDeletewisconsin's defense against carolina's offense is a really fun matchup. carolina's athleticism and length on defense is gonna be too much for bo ryan's boys, though.
ReplyDeletei can't put up links like igor, but there's some funny pop culture stuff over at grantland-- toys of the 80's and an essay about the song "closing time."
ReplyDeleteit's annoying that they get to do that for a living-- when is g:tb going to sustain us financially so i can quit my job?
I wrote some words about CAA hoops:

The Teej uses the word "heck" twice in that article. Feels like watching The Big Lebowski on Comedy Central.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking at least one of those instances was a word stronger than that, and edited down to "heck". Sometimes I forget I can't openly swear over there like here at G:TB.
ReplyDeleteHello? Is this thing on?
ReplyDeleteCandygram ....
ReplyDeletei actually do work for one day and you jackasses can't keep yourselves entertained?
ReplyDeleteEveryone's at the Wheelhouse, rob.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could gear the conversation between Pete Carroll and beast mode.
ReplyDeleteMcnabb was released. Houston Chicago and ... Washington could use a QB.
ReplyDeleteWho is that Kia soul as aimed at, jersey Guido hamsters?

ReplyDeletedesean jackson's kind of a dick, huh?
ReplyDeleteA little dick.
ReplyDeleteHoward mudd listens to primus.
ReplyDeletePrecision seems like an important quality in a pro QB.
