GTown, Hall still receiving significant amount of votes.

Much more accurate ranking for butler in my opinion. I think 20 is realistically their ceiling.

Our game of the year coming up this weekend.

Still Prefer Gary Parrish' personal top 25 to the AP and Coaches:

Nova 7, St. John's 14, Georgetown 16, Butler 23

I wonder why 0_o

Damn right. Man, I hope the Dawgs bounce back. I know its heresy around here, but beating IU means more than the Big East title. Pride + recruiting battles in-state.

No way. Going from last year to winning the league, tourney or regular season, would do so much more for recruiting/pride/perception than one game vs. a team that is basically just milking the success of decades old teams.

...but still get the recruits over Butler every time.

Winning head to head vs. IU is not going to win us recruiting battles; winning Big East championships will do that though.

First things first... lets beat the shit out of the orange umpa and mini-me Yogi this weekend.
