Since McNeese didn't ask for the ranking, doesn't care about the ranking, and isn't worried about the ranking, it sure sounds like sour grapes from teams that McNeese recently lost to, but also had beaten handily in the not so distant past (in 2001, 2002 and 2003 only lost one conference game). 2004, McNeese struggled with no excuses other than very young team (still managed to beat Nicholls). 2005 was a year that most people, including most respected I-AA gurus, say cannot be used as a indication of anything after the affects of two major hurricanes.Quote:

And you have not played a I-AA team anywhere near the quality of those McNeese teams either. :cool:Quote:

Lion and Colonel fans be sure and bring all this bravado and "Hating" :D to the Hole when you visit this year. Based on what I am reading and hearing about practice this week, I think we will be up to the task of at least providing a little competiton for your Excellent High Flying Renown Teams :nod:

As for sour grapes...give me a break! I was just making a statement that, for a team that didn't fair very well in 2005, they are ranked rather high in the preseason poll. We ALL know that McNeese had nothing to do with the ranking, we're just trying to analyze the thought process that some pollsters use. If McNeese goes through 2006 with a strong season and wins the SLC title, good for them...the pollsters would then be right. I just find it difficult to rank ANY team in McNeese's position, regardless of who they are and what they USED to do on the field, that high to start the season off. I'm not saying that they shouldn't be ranked in the top-25, they are easily one of the top 25 teams in the country in almost any given year, I just think they should start lower this year.
Even forgetting about 2005, they didn't do very well in 2004. I'm just pointing out that other schools would not get such a high ranking to start the season after 2 years like McNeese just had.
Win or lose....I'll still hate McNeese; just like always.:twocents:
Bravado...noQuote:

I'm just excited that we're in the poll despite the MANY question marks we have and, personally, I'm not sold on this being SLU's year either.
MY statements were just to adress the fact that I believe they are ranked too high to START the season. I'm not even saying that McNeese won't be in the top 11 at year end. Hell, they could get to the playoffs after winning the SLC and possibly a NC game appearance - I don't know. What I do know is that, in MY OPINION, they are ranked too high to start the season.
I can't tell from your past two year record... But you are taking this as smack or a slam of McNeese. It's really not. I just don't think that a team that is coming off two subpar seasons both finishing unranked should be ranked #5 in the country. So if you want, take Grambling out of the rankings all together. Now tell me... does McNeese warrant a #5 ranking? What's the justification?!?Quote:
