By my count... 5 SEC teams and 3 Big 10 teams... :)

I'm just sayin'

[Darlin']

pssssst, cp

Do you think it would cheer up our friend sharky if i ponted out that Ole Blue actually got a vote in that USAToday coaches poll?

Excellent counting, Darlin'.

[catpuppy]

Do you think it would cheer up our friend sharky if i pointed out that Ole Blue actually got a vote in that USAToday coaches poll?

I think that is a splendid idea. Heaven knows that Sharkboy needs all the cheering up he can get, football season treating him colder and crueler than a Michigan winter.

So let me help:
Michigan (3-9) 1

[Darksheare]

Wanderin’ through to check in.

[Lakeshark]

Whoa. You almost kilt the thread to the same degree as the marmot did.......she does, however, hold the world's thread killing record.......

Should I report you to the Obama snitch brigades for practicing thread killing without a license issued by them?

[Lakeshark]

Heh. Like Rush said, sports journalists are as dumb, biased, and foolish as the rest of the MSM.

Two questions for you:
1. Who was #1 in last years pre-season poll and did that team even end up in the top ten?

When was the last time a pre-season poll was correct in predicting the #1 team in the last poll.

So keep harping on your polls, their accuracy is so overwhelmingly blinding........

[Darksheare]

Whoa, then they’d get me for being undead without proper end of life counseling.

[Lakeshark]

Or worse. They might see if their union thugs could make you a bit more dead than undead.........

[Darksheare]

Gotta love the SEIU thugs.
Sebelius tells them, “atta boy, goo doggie.”
Then the Dems claim that those protesting are being ‘organised’.
SO.. the SEIU thugs AREN’T organized?
*sigh*
So I guess Sebelius was praising them on mindless ant like marching and thuggery because she is attracted to mindless ant like marching and thuggery?
Not because she TOLD them to march mindlessly and thug like ants?

[Lakeshark]

I'm a bit worried these thugs are trying to arrange a violent incident for the MSM to demagogue when some conservative physically fights back.

Scary times.

[catpuppy]

So keep harping on your polls, their accuracy is so overwhelmingly blinding........

Could have fooled me. Somehow those end-of-season polls that usually show Ohio State back in the pack, Michigan nowhere to be found (just like you after each losing "big" blue season), and an SEC team as BCS Champion seem to be very accurate.

I guess it's because they have no "do-overs"

But I digress. Back to the pre-season poll:

Others Receiving Votes Kansas 138, Michigan State 136, Texas Tech 114, Cincinnati 90, Pittsburgh 64, West Virginia 55, Rutgers 51, Miami (FL) 46, Missouri 44, Illinois 38, Clemson 30, South Carolina 18, UCLA 14, Auburn 12, South Florida 11, Nevada 11, Kentucky 9, North Carolina State 7, Wisconsin 6, Arkansas 6, Northwestern 5, Southern Miss 4, Wake Forest 4, Arizona 3, Boston College 3, Central Michigan 3, East Carolina 3, Colorado 2, Maryland 2, Navy 2, Tennessee 2, TROY 1, Minnesota 1, Michigan 1, Houston 1.

You should be grateful for Houston, Troy and Minnesota ...

[Darksheare]

Yes, they are.
And the Dems are outright dismissing what the people are saying.

[Lakeshark]

Heh. Poor pup. Delusional with pre-season polls. How'd that work out for Georgia last year?

The next time your great SEC teams actually beat Michigan, then you might have something to say about your dominating conference, right?

In the meantime, enjoy the early bird specials in the (totally) flat ugly lands down there......

[Lakeshark]

Let’s hope they overplay this stuff and self destruct. If they don’t, we’re in for some really baaaaaad times.

[Darksheare]

That would be great if they overdid it.
People would get truly fed up at an exponential rate.
And we wouldn’t have to say anything at all.I did like the comparison of 1930’s Germany and the Obama admin, and some lefty types freaking out about it.
The response was “What about ‘bushitler’ and ‘dissent is patriotic’?”
Crickets.

[derllak]

You two macadamias are certifiable. Obamba will be contacting you for a cabinet job shortly. You guys will fit right in!

[Lakeshark]

Aren’t you supposed to be busy applying to that job at Hardee’s?
