Always good to be ranked but it's just a number. As Michigan and UConn learned recently, only winning matters, regardless of rankings or opponent. More importantly, those that claim "wait till we get ranked", guess you'll be there on Wednesday night.
Let's go St. John's

That's about right in terms of rankings. Need to build on this. The big East is playing well, so we should be improving our rpi. In any case, this should give our guys more confidence. It's now or never for most of these guys.

a reason why a ranking helps...i mean, even after the Cuse win, the ESPN "NY" page didn't even have a link for a recap on that game, but did on the NJIT win over Michigan, College Football Playoff, and other non-NY stuff. I know some say ESPN is burying the Big East...but that number means you can't ignore so easily if nothing else.

@GaryParrishCBS: Butler fans will love me after this week’s Poll Attacks. And St. John’s fans will love me even more. Let’s get it!http://t.co/0Cq8LuROVB

Ahhh We're ranked finally.
Time to light up that Montecristo, and enjoy this.
Keep it rolling fellas.

Great read. Really like how Parrish wrote this: "do you want to see the full list of teams that currently have at least two top-30 wins and zero losses outside of the top 10?
"Yes, Mr. Parrish, I do!" you just said to yourself.
Cool.
Because I have that list right here:
Kentucky
Duke
Louisville
Wisconsin
Arizona
Kansas
St. John's
That's the entire list.
Only seven teams currently have two top-30 wins and zero losses outside of the top 10, and six of the seven are ranked in the top 10 of the coaches poll. The other is St. John's, which had to settle for what amounts to 27th place."
Let's goo
Congrats to the entire team, and staff, on being ranked in the writers' poll. Unfortunately, the coaches showed no good sense in filling their poll out:

Still, we're knocking on the door there at #27.

Definitely is sweet. Time to have a celebratory glass of wine for this moment
As I'm a wine snob, curious as to what you drink
Depends. We have a lot of wine that we bring back home from traveling overseas that we store so i usually tap that. Drank one yesterday Roland Tissier Sancerre when we visited the loire valley several years ago.
I actually love chardonnay's but my fiancee gravitates more to reds.
For Pinot Noir my favorite is from Williams Selyem ( that's where I got engaged at ) they don't make much red zin but what they do make of it I tend to really like also. Red Zin is my fiancees favorite.
For Cab's my favorite is Jordan Cab. Freaking love that wine
Today I'm going to try a wine we loved when we were just down in Urugauy and visited Bodegas Carrau vineyard. A 2012 Tannat Reserve
What do you like ?
If you know MattC who posts here or if you have been on this site for awhile reading back like 15 years ago he was posting like Jack. He literally grew up on the boards and I remember all of us talking to him when he was finally searching for colleges and his whole choosing Cuse etc and then I finally got to meet and hang with him in lavins 1st year when we did a bus trip down to Nova and he was going to that game so that moment was real cool. He's a real good guy and now an adult working so for me who enjoys reading all the posts it was nice and now he is a friend and I'll see him after some games this year at the garden and he will get to meet some of the other guys here who he hasn't met yet.
Eventually down the road we will get jack drunk one night and bring him to a strip club after a game. That will be a true redmen.com welcome
