Message: [QUOTE="FreeFries100, post: 142434, member: 69"] I have to comment on the CBS Sports Midseason Awards and Predictions article that OrangeEyes posted today (as he commented, zero respect for the Cuse). For the most part, I like the different articles and opinions that the guys at CBS put out. By know means am I expert or anything, I just enjoy reading opinion and analysis (I tend to just read here, but not post), but some of the points in this article kinda make them look silly. Here are a few things that jump out at me: [LIST] [*]Goodman comments in one section that Indiana is overated, but then in the following section he claims Tom Creen is the coach of the year. What? If Creen is doing such a great job, shouldn't you then suspect that his team is doing well and they should be moving up the rankings? They're ranked 12th I believe, considering their record, who they have beat, one could argue they're not ranked high enough. But to say they are overated based on what they have done at this point in the season, I don't get it[I].[/I] [*]Parrish includes the Cuse in his overated list. No problem, but then why do [I]you[/I] have them ranked #1 in [I]your[/I] own poll? I mean, here is a guy who rips people each week in his weekly "poll attacks", but yet he is claiming that the team he ranks as #1 is overated. That seems like grounds for our own version of poll attacks toward Parrish. OK, so if they were ranked #4 or #5 are they still overated? They really isn't any difference between #1 and #5. So if he is suggesting that Cuse should be ranked 20th, that's laughable. [*]Also, again this isn't b/c I'm a Cuse fan, or that I think Syracuse is a lock for the FF4, they're not, but the fact that not one of their 4 writers has Cuse in their FF4 predictions seem kinda out of touch to me. To put it another way, the title of the article [I]is Mid Season Awards and Predictions[/I], so considering that, at this point in the season, how can they honestly not think that the Cuse has a legit shot at the FF4, but Florida does or Uconn does? If a team at the Mid Season who is 16-0, with a #1 ranking, 4 of 5 returning starters and with the leading bench scoring team in the nation can't get 1 FF4 vote from one of their writers, it kinda makes me roll my eyes. [/LIST] At the end of the day, it doesn't matter. Put up or shut up on the court. One thing is for certain however, this article and some of the reader comments attached to it definitely get me fired up and hope that this team to continues to roll! As a side note, I hope they put up 100 pts on Saturday so I can go to McD's and ask for free fries a la the 80's :). FF [/QUOTE]
