Making history 5 games into the season.

When WILD says it, y'all listen.

"But you heard it here first" is not all that it used to be.

Good stuff

I might be one of the few people here that actually love you Axpert.
One thing I have learned in my travels?
It does not make people like you any more when you do that.
Yes, you might have pointed that out.
Sometimes, it is not the message, but the messenger.

Such is the need for my existence. For being "liked" has rarely gotten people of honor far in this day in age. Being liked seems to be a mechanism of the thin skinned from my observations.

I have a greater appreciation for my content when it is challenged and flat out disliked. To me, it validates my dedication.

Bringing balance to the force is a key component to every fanbase.

There must be some Truthers amongst all fanbases to keep the Rah Rah to a sensible level.

Thank you for your post!

You are right, but there is a small part of this post contradicts your original post.
If you are not worried about being "liked" by us on here, why be concerned someone else gets credit/approval for something you have also said?

To be clear, I love you, and respect your opinions. 
You are hilarious!
I believe there is a fine line between speaking your truth and being an extremist.
Most of the time, you and I say the same thing.
The way we choose to deliver it is how I believe the reception is going to be from our Arizona cousins.

He's a "realist troll". The guy understand basketball but simultaneously wants to disrupt a fanbase, primarily by ripping on the coaching staff that took Miller's job (which is understandable because they were unnecessarily under scrutiny).

More articles regarding the upcoming Top-25 poll.  Besides calling Arizona "AU" in the Yahoo article, they're good write-ups.

Nevermind.  Didn't bump to #1.  Purdue looked good against TTU but was pretty sloppy in their previous two matchups.  I'm sure they'll slip at some point!
