Rpi

How closely do you guys consider RPI rankings? for example, I really like Butler tonight and I checked their RPI and its 19 in contrast Wright St is 112. I personally think they win by DD with the tough opponents they have played, would you guys look at the RPI and like the game more? Or is that not a good way to look at it?

Thank you

can't really use RPI until conference play gets under way. The numbers are always a bit wacky to start out, and it takes until mid-late January before they start adjusting the way they should.

Seth: Fogell, this ID says that you're 25 years old. Why wouldn't you just put 21, man?
Fogell: Seth, Seth, Seth. Listen up, ass-face: every day, hundreds of kids go into the liquor store with fake IDs, and every single one says they're 21. Pssh, how many 21 year olds do you think there are in this town? It's called f*cking strategy, alright?
