UNC gets votes in latest college insider mid-major poll

Griz have had a ton of injury problems as well.

Doesn't change the results, though. Pollsters don't care if you have to wheel cots out there to try to play on. They care about results: Montana got them; UNC did not. Not hard to figure, people....


Valpo.... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Valpo is actually pretty good team, they're 18-6 or something like that. Plus they have a higer RPI ranking than Montana, and only a few below UCLA. Valpo is at 55, and UCLA is at 47, and Arizona has a RPI ranking of 22. Might wanna do some research before you start running your mouth.


Yes, Valpo is a very good team. So is Arizona. And today, the price of tea in China is 30 Yuan an ounce.

No one is saying UNC didn't play a good noncon schedule. They did. Problem is, the didn't WIN any of those games. Montana played a good noncon schedule, and DID win them. Comparing the Grizzlies going to UCLA and blowing them out of their own building with huge UNC losses to similar teams does NOT -- in any way, shape or form -- strengthen the argument that UNC should be ranked ahead of Montana in the Mid Major poll.

And if you're still comparing a win in Pauley to a huge loss to Valpo at a neutral site, well.... :lol:

Lol all you Montana fans are so sensitive, its funny to watch. I don't see where anyone saying that UNC should be ranked ahead of Montana. We're just saying Montana had a weak OOC, which they did. UCLA was your only significant win, you touted Oregon State yet they have an RPI rank of 233. :roll: You wanted to bash UNC for the Valpo loss, but does Utah, Nevada, and San Fransico ring a bell? Teams with RPI rankings in the 100 and I think Nevada is in the 200. If you want to ride that UCLA win then go for it, how you went in there and won who knows. They probably sent their JV team out there. :lol:

UNC played 3 teams with RPI rankings in the top 50, where Montana played none. The only reason why Montana is ranked so high in this poll is because their record "looks" good, not because you beat UCLA and your treacherous OOC schedule. Same reason why UNC was ranked so high last year because our record looked good, even though our RPI rank was shitty.
 
Everitt, I don't think anyone was saying UNC should be ahead of Montana in the polls. I do think however if you had our ooc schedule, you probably wouldn't have done much better, especially with the key injuries that we had during that stretch.
 
When you as Bears fans try to belittle the win at UCLA it makes you look really stupid.
You clowns are easily becoming the most uneducated, obnoxious fans in the conference. Montana is the class of the conference right now. The Bears looked horrid last night.

LOL! Seriously guy? You've been trolling this board since you got here. I haven't seen you make one decent comment about anything. Also UCLA was coming off a tough lost to Kansas, and Montana was able to sneak up on them. Just like NAU was able to sneak up on UNC last night.
 
I'm not sensitive in the least. Frankly, it's all of you bitching that you're ranked behind Montana in the MM poll who seems to be a little on the sensitive side.

And for the slower-witted ones: Yes, as I've stated on a number of occasions now, UNC played a fine noncon schedule. The problem is, they didn't win any games!!! You can play the LA Lakers, but if you go O-fer you're still not going to get any love.

Bottom line: In the noncon schedule, UNC's best win was to a team with an RPI of 200. Their only other win was to a team with an RPI of 269. You also have a horrible loss to LAM team with an RPI of 326 (meaning only 19 teams have worse RPIs). Yet you then turn around and denigrate Montana's losses to Portland (RPI 56), and USF (107).

So am I sensitive? Nope. Just a realist who understands how these things work. But don't worry. You guys are new at this. You'll catch on eventually.


Edit: Holy crap! And now you're making excuses for Montana's win at UCLA? Geeeeezus. Just admit it's the biggest win for the BSC this year (and 2nd is even close) and be done with it.

I agree (as I stated earlier in this thread) that Montana should be ranked higher because of their impressive wins. Two wins over PAC-10 teams is fantastic for a Big Sky team. Hell, it wasn't long ago that I was amazed to even see us play a PAC-10 team. Combine that with a great run in Big Sky play, including a dominant performance at a fired up Montana State and I think Montana shows that they are the team to beat and deserve their high ranking.

You are a bigot. Seagrizluvr has a message for you over on egriz.
 
Hey everettgriz, did you get kicked off of e-griz or what?? Although you have been helpful in bringing out some passion around here

Bet yet you tried to bash UNC's Valp (55) loss, oh wait it was at a neutral site, who cares. Awww I think somebody got a little butt hurt. Claim you're not sensitive yet when anybody says anything about the UCLA win you fly off the handle and on top of that you had to make another account to come on here and complain. Who's sensitive? Quit contradicting yourself.

Seriously. Can you read? I'm beginning to wonder....

I have not, nor will I, bash UNC's loss to Valpo. That was not a bad loss. I WILL continue to LAUGH MY ASS OFF at anyone who tries to state that a 15 point loss to Valpo on a neutral floor is comparable to the Griz going into Pauley and blowing out UCLA. If you, in fact, believe that, we have nothing further to discuss, because you clearly don't understand college basketball.

edit to devil: Nope, still a regular poster on eGriz. But glad I could fire up the passion of "all" the unc faithful.

edit to Brian: Thanks for bringing some insight and reasonableness to the discussion.

Can you? Because I don't know what the Valpo loss has to do with anything, you're the one that brought it up. The poster had compared the UCLA win to the Arizona game. Good now you can go back over to the circle jerk on egriz.

Really? Are you sure?

Your Griz's most formidable opponent this year was UCLA and, albeit it was a win its not quite like going on the road to play at Arizona or Illinois. Heck, even a neutral site matchup with Valpo might be up there.


I guess we're back to that whole, "can you read?" question again....

And what is it with you and homosexual slurs? I recommend seeing a professional about that.
 
Hey can we move on from this scheduling comparison crap. We had a real shitty night last night but I believe the Bears will bounce back and Montana will have their hands full trying to explain their second loss to the Bears!!

Lol I recommend you brush up on your comprehension skills because I still don't see what you're trying to point out. The poster said it MIGHT be up there, don't see where he said it IS tougher.

Oh and I'm not BigSkyBear on egriz either, sorry but I don't troll on other board like some of you do. If you don't believe me check the ip addys.
 
Really? You're going with he said "it might be up there" as your defense? Okay, then we'll end the discussion here:

No, getting blown out by Valpo on a neutral floor does NOT equal blowing UCLA out of Pauley. Getting blown out at Arizona does not equal blowing UCLA out of Pauley. I hope that covers it.


Okay, if you're not BSB, what is it with all of you UNC people and your 7th grade homosexual slurs?

And if you don't "troll" eGriz, how did you know we were referencing BSB???? Ooops Busted! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yes that my defense, because that's what was said, you're the one trying to reach. It's all relative, the UCLA win is nice, but not as nice and you're making it out to be. Your original argument was that UNC didn't beat anyone during their OOC, and now its an argument of this game is not equal to this game or that game. Which is it? If you don't feel the valpo and arizona game aren't equal to the UCLA win that's cool. We just have a different opinion on this board and we're entitled to that. No need to come troll our board, and get all sensitive. Just because we have different views doesn't make us wrong. Quite frankly I don't think the UCLA win is that impressive.

Lol @ busted, talk about acting like a 7th grader, I went on there because Wsupurple said there was a message for me. So I checked.
 
Okay, I deleted a couple of posts that crossed the line.

Bearsfan24, no PM's threatening other people and WSUnPurple, stop winding people up for the sake of it. I wanted this post in public because I don't want anyone else caught up in doing this.
