AP poll is broken.  I'd be surprised if we're above 15
Easily in the top 15. Never seen this type of bouncy house season in my life when it comes to the sport.

Gonzaga is ranked 9th with losses to Baylor and Texas. I wonder what the biggest rise in the AP in one week is?

Where do we debut, 15?  Higher?

Higher. Gary Parrish will have us top 10 and pollsters seem to mirror his daily poll

If we aren’t top 10 then Dlew12 needs to personally shame every single sportswriter who doesn’t put them top 10

Tbh I’m not even sure an “embarrassment” of riches is appropriate at this point. We probably need a humiliation or fuckton of riches or something idk.

Id just like to offer some perspective WRT the quantity of riches we’re talking about here. Folks, to give you an idea…take the combined computing power of every datacenter that exists on planet earth this day…well, the amount of time it would take for them to calculate how much riches we got…none of the people that will be alive when that computation is complete have even been born yet.

ya i think I need saul to come translate this post from the big apple cat into english for me.  LOL - computers, man.  data in, data out, usb. 

i’m sorry but my parents don’t let me use computers (they don’t believe in computers), so i’m lost trying to understand your point.  regardless, i’m enrolling (late) for the spring semester and hopefully will take a few courses about computers, because i don’t even know how to turn them on.  anything would help, even if it’s online classes.

besides that stuff lets look at our cat friends and family tonight and say go cats to celebrate the big win.

Clams, thank you, I got so wrapped up in The Riches I just go to town with all the computer jargon, with no regard for the “computer adjacent” bloggers on this board. I will take the remainder of the weekend not only to reflect on this plentiful bounty of riches (described in earlier post) but also to remind myself to check my privilege.

If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

Not sure where we'll be, honestly will be shocked to be higher than 15 (but will take)

What is the highest someone has debuted in the AP no being ranked before? Like if we legit debut in the top 10 that has to be some sort of record, right?

BESTOW US!!

Several of my A++ sources at the Associated Press (AP) have quietly started referring to this team as the QUAD SQUAD and while I can’t get any of them to come outright and say it, I’m v confident it is because of how well we are playing against Q1 opponents

I should actually read the thread  :blindfold:

Yeah, not close to the record, but we could beat ourselves (#13)

If the Quad Squad Cats win their next two against OSU and @TCU, and fellow Quad Squad Hawks win against OU and ISU, then we could be looking at the one the greatest matchups in the history of the Octagon of Doom with College Game Day coming to town and a chance for clams to mend fences with Holly Rowe.

I happen to know for a fact that clams relationship with the original all American girl holly Rowe has been weighing heavily on him, to the point that he has been using several fake IDs in order to donate more plasma than is allowed so he can scape together enough $$ to travel to whatever game she is roaming the sidelines that week.

The QUAD SQUAD taking care of business and securing College GameDay (built by the Home Depot) would be great not only for this institution of higher learning but also for clams’ blood platelets (which he barely even has any right now they need time to regenerate)

Follow up question: low college game day IQ but do they do game day on tuesdays or is that just a Saturday thing?

I don't think anyone watches basketball GameDay, but I guess it's cool if they come to the Bram.

crap. We are slated for Tuesdays for both Quad Squad matchups this year.  Can the commission change that?

Pete I actually think tuesdays are the right play, here. You have to remember, conference play gets underway in January. Saturdays (in January) are for using that gym membership or cleaning out the garage or fixing that leaky faucet or whatever New Years Resolution you haven’t given up on yet. Your captive basketball watching audience is Tuesday evening.

I know it is still early but these Cats seem to have the makings of a team that could be dangerous in March.
