ok colonels. now that i am not ****** at you for just seeing you were flooding my otherwise wonderful GLV conf chat with your rpi/rankings crap.... i would like to congratulate you are your first NT appearance. that is an awesome time and a great landmark in a coaches career. even being the last team in, against a major dynasty, its wonderful. i know first hand, my first NT ever was a CT victory with a little worse than 100 rpi, and i got the last 16 seed. guess who i was playing? none other than oldresorter and his w conn state program in the midst of the greatest run in d3 history. yeah, i got absolutely destroyed... but it was totally awesome anyway.
that said, i wish you would act with a tad more class. there is no reason to come to our conf chat and berate joco for making the PIT with the 86 rpi and a poor record. its not like its his fault he squeaked into the PIT. nobody came to you and said, damn colonels, your team had a crappy season and has no business in the NT, rant rant rant. don't you think joco is already feeling a little bit crappy about this season, not making the NT when that is the level of expectation? why would you come make it worse, it is not beneficial to anybody in anyway, anywhere, ever. please, show a little common courtesy to your fellow coaches.
and, just so you know, i really never have seen a challenge come through from you. i don't schedule early in the season, except for my couple home and homes i like to keep up with top 10 programs. i don't even check challenges unless i see one of those couple programs come through, until after non conf play is over. why? because, the more information you have to schedule, the better. i'll have more information about how good my team will be the next season, and how good everybody else's will be. so it just makes sense to wait to me. you schedule faster than that, thats fine, but just so you know, thats why i never have seen you try to schedule me...
