Yeehhhp.

Hey Juwan! How's it going big fella? Did you enjoy all that smoke up your rusty dusty?

[duketaylor]

So 1, 4 and 5 have all lost (so far) this week, good time for exams!! Go Duke!!

Yeah, Michigan is now 0-2 in true road games this year. Amazing stat though: with every B1G team playing at least one conference game at this point, and many playing two, I don't believe any team has won on the road. Someone can check my math on that, but if so that's pretty remarkable, and a testament to how deep the conference is.

Not a foregone conclusion yet...

Duck eats Wolverine.

Makes sense pirates would have trouble with knights. Armor leads to solid defense.

Any chance we can regain our #1 ranking without playing a game?

Two years ago, UVA became the first team ever to advance to #1 after a loss (OT by 1 vs VT, but a good win earlier in the week. Everyone else in the top 4 or 5 had a worse week), so it’s very doable.

Kentucky having some trouble with GT early. I chose Kentucky to cover in the gambler thread. Looks like I might regret that.

Not just Wolverine; right now in Winston-Salem, it looks like all of the X-Men could be in trouble.

Unless you really, really like UK, you don't understand how this thread is supposed to work.

Looks like a bunch of little terriers nipping at the heels of victory.

I love my new dog.

My terrier is wiping the tar off of his heels before coming inside.

So civilized.

I presume he attended obedience classes.

You must've read my last review on Ymm, Beer.

Roll over.

Play dead.

Wait, sheep don't do tricks...
