Message: [QUOTE="LStudfellow, post: 2895238, member: 5436"] At #64 there is a legitimate debate to be had of whether we are deserving of such a lofty number at this point after the last several years... BUT #117??? God, ESPN makes it so easy to hate them and their almost constant disrespect - on the other hand, this should make for wonderful bulletin board material that can last the whole year. One thing we would almost all agree upon is that historically we play better (other than the last two years) when we have a chip on our collective shoulders. This ranking makes for a nice-sized chip for everyone. So thank you ESPN... it is time for us to "shock the world" (or at least their world) one more time. Edit: Auror, I agree 100%, it really does have so much to do with AG. If he gets hurt again, we may well play to that #117 ranking. If he is healthy and plays the entire year we will significantly outperform this level. [/QUOTE]
