tmac isn't tanner. He's colonels. ;)

No offense, tmac. Just having fun. (For what it's worth, I have come to see that you are not tanner.) No worries.

For what its worth, I'm a sports editor in Wyoming and our local JUCO just played Western Wyoming last weekend. They feature two east coast players on the starting roster, so the thought that someone from SC would be attending there isn't far-fetched at all.

It's all about where the head coach has recruiting ties, and some urban types find that coming out here to the "middle of nowhere" eliminates many of the distractions that prevented them from achieving in the classroom.

Every time I'm tempted to respond to one of colonel's inane, uninformed posts, I'm relieved to see that either (a) he's managed to look stupid on his own or (b) someone else has already done it for me.

And yet you still did, thanks for playing.

I hope nobody catches on that I am colonels

Trevor, I think you may be creating a problem for yourself. I have no idea if your BPI ranking system is any good. But, the lack of credibility you are building within these forums will carry over into real life. The people playing HD are by and large sports fans who care about stats, rankings, etc. We follow real sports almost as avidly as our fake sports. What do you think we are going to think if you gain some traction outside of this forum and we see your name or BPI? When I read your posts, I get the same feeling I get when I see an embarrassing photo on Facebook. It's just a bad idea. It can be fun debating problems or perceived problems with HD, but the audience for your posts may not be limited to zhawks, dalter, and the rest. You need to keep that in mind. You are creating a reputation for yourself that I don't think you will want to have.

The winning record nullifies that theory.

Well, its time to face the music and tell you guys all what you want to hear, I was wrong, you win. Some research in the future might help on my part, but alas, put this one in the L column for me, and I promise I'll do better next time lol.
