@jhmossy liked you stating that you would be ok with the Virginia move up to #1. What a shocker...

Should Virginia move to #1 with a win over Duke?
- Thread starter della

Your problem is like to embellish. No one said anything about anything about unanimous anything. The question was if Virginia beats Duke, should have move to #1 in the polls.
Just because I like a post doesn't mean I agree with it. It could just mean that I read it, thought it was a good post, or just want to improve your post to like ratio
Undefeated UVA with top ten wins over VPI and on the road against Duke in one week should be #1. No question in my mind.
It's irrelevant to the thread but I do want to point out that it was a 5 point loss to #1 at-the-time Kansas in the first game of the year, and an OT loss at Louisville. MSU has over UCLA, Texas, Iowa, @Florida, @Ohio State, and Purdue. Unfortunately all of our key wins and two losses have come to teams that haven't lived up to their expectations or rankings at the time.
MSU will no doubt jump Gonzaga if they both continue to win, I was mostly originally just asking how many more wins that would take.
Member for 15 years and your first post is to come here and tell me something I knew already? wut
LOL. In case you missed it we have President Trump now. You really waited 15 years to post this? Lol
As long as they make us a 1 seed and keep us away from Michigan State I’m ok. Also I could give a shit about UMBC this year Rod.
I didn’t read his post till after I posted, my deepest apologies. I still hate Tennessee
Are you like Hails parrot?
It’s 2:40 am. I’m wide awake. And this discussion is about a damn poll in January.
I am down to watching Tulsa and UConn on ESPNU. Whoever wins this game should be #1. And there is a hangover in my future. Take a lap, all of you.

Hey watch it! Leave McClung out of it. The boy is a straight up baller. POY is in his young future, Book it.
I disagree, Duke would have two losses. Your team is what it is when you play the game, names have no bearing. I would put UM as #1 with UT a close #2. However, I think UT would beat UM head to head.
I hesitate to answer your post Della. You seem to change the post to wording that supports your position and then reply. Not very nice on your part.
I won't deny, I can be a little word tricksey. However, being #1 requires more than just a team that can knock another's lights out on a given night. They are also required to be consistent. Losing 2 games would not be demonstrating consistency this early in the season. IMO.
Loved them and Smoltz.

Insane those ATL teams only won one WS.
Being a Braves fan in the 90’s was like being on a roller coaster watching them be so good during the regular season then losing in the postseason. They could’ve/should’ve had several more World Series Titles.
Helped me (was in my pre- and early teens) later prepare for Kansas hoops.

I’ve always thought that was clever
Atlanta Braves
Oklahoma football
Buffalo Bills (not consistently but 0-4 in 4 consecutive SB's qualifies them for this list)
Kansas basketball
Fans of these teams have had it pretty rough in my years of watching sports. So close so many times only to come up short. I question myself for getting too emotionally attached every season only to have the inevitable happen. Like I've said before, it's harder to be a fan of a CBB team that wins 30+ games every season and loses in the Elite 8 than it is to be a fan of school who regularly wins around 20 games and misses the tournament often. Fans of those schools only know what it's like to be mediocre. They'll never understand what it's like to be thrown off of Cloud 9 into hell in only a matter of minutes.
