Guess who's #1?

Guess who's #1?

Post by Mike »

The Kentucky Wildcats will reclaim their rightful place as #1 in tomorrow's polls :)

To you Dookies: Shut up. Dook has been in the Top 10 all year has 3 losses, and only this weekend got their FIRST ROAD WIN!

Well, Champion isn't there. But I do love working there. I love the fact that in my chain of command 2 steps up is the CEO. Bad thing is Marshall calls me "an IT guy" and has no idea what I do, except that it's important.

But there isn't a single server, system, or network the company runs that I haven't designed and implemented myself in the last 8 years (that is what I do, I am a network and systems engineer). There is something to be said for enjoying the fruits of one's labor.

UK and Villanova in the top 5.

This is going to be a potentially bad March/April if I have to cheer on the Wildcats (from KY) when they take on 'Nova.

One of the best corporate work situations, in my humble opinion, is to have a boss who supports you and praises your work, yet doesn't know (or want to know) everything you know and do, and how you do it. The Big Guy should be involved in much larger corporate issues and not micro-managing everybody's workspaces for them.

Been there, worked for someone like that.

And one year ago I was shouting insults at the DOOK players as they left the Marriott in Atlanta to kick the Seminoles' ass to win the ACC Championship. I really wanted the FSU boys to win, but oh well....... It happens. And those Wildcats last spring??? Calipari was hired and we have an answer.

Did hell freeze over? My 3 favorite teams are in the top three.

So Go Big Blue!

Go Nova!

I will do something for the Jayhawks later.

Short run at the top for UK.
Should they forfeit their wins now or wait til Calipari bolts for another refuge?

They should wait. It'll be more fun for the rest of us then.

I've seen a couple of Villanova games and been impressed. I'm not normally a Nova fan but this year's team has been fun to watch.

I thought last year Nova's team was a fluke. I guess this proves they are the real thing. I am glad Jay Wright did not take the job at KY.
