please explain what the poll is before asking BP members to go against their nature and visit that site.

It's an Ohio Stave Vs. Texas Poll, I know it's sacreligous. If it makes you feel better I linked to the page from a Texas site. They were all in disbelief about the poll and were trying to drum up votes.

gotcha, thx for the info. I'm ok leting them have another victory before the game, kind of like Brown's preseason coach of the year award or their recruiting dominance with nothing to show for it.

I'm all for people continuing to think that we are the underdogs........we play better in that role......especially in the Shoe.

I know that.......but thanks for clearing it up. I'm speaking in general terms......most of the national media outside of Columbus has us tagged an underdog.....on our own soil.

Good, I prefer it that way. Not that they'll need the extra motivation but I'm sure the Bucks prefer it too.
