To be fair, sharky is not the only Big Blue fan with "rankings sensitivity disorder". Apparently, a majority of the fan base up there has the same affliction and seem to think their losses should be rewarded. I'm remembering a loss to #1 The Ohio State a couple of years back (2006?). They lost the ball game! They lost but for some reason thought they shouldn't suffer a drop in the "rankings". It isn't simply that it matters so much to UM fans about a loss to their conference rival The Ohio State, they actually expect writers, coaches, pundits and fans around the country to care, too.
Maybe we should 'splain that it might matter if ever that game actually establishes a serious contender for a BCS title.

cp, I'm not too excited about our kitties facing your dawgs this weekend. BTW, did I mention that I have a niece attending Georgia this year? Her brother is at Ole Miss, you can imagine what topic we'll avoid discussing over Thanksgiving dinner this year.
Sharky, congratulations, y'all now have a QB who, if he stays healthy, might improve Big Blue's stats for the next year or two. :)
If so, why are ya'll 11 and 2 against UM? Why did UM beat up mighty Floriduh in 2008, and virtually every other game?
Tautaulogy: OSU can't win against the SEC, The SEC can't win against UM, UM can't seem to beat OSU (lately). Odd but true.
Darlin' I'm afraid that you have gone and hurt lil' sharkey's feelings now, talking about how sensitive that whole "big" 10 crowd is.
I guess that with all that bloated ego demonstrated by calling themselves "big" all the time they just can't be expected to see what the rest of the nation sees: the "big" 10 ain't so big. In fact were it not for the glitter on Ohio State's helmets, no one in that sisterhood of weak teams would hardly ever be noticed.
