re: Dan Wolken: if Kirby doesn't win the East in 17, he's a clown

This is coming from a guy who said our basketball schedule was soft...

We have the 6th highest SOS in the SEC... Also known as middle of the road in the conference. In our 8 RPI 50 games, we have 1 win (Vandy at 47) and we have 7 losses (6 against UF, USC, UK with only 1 out of conference). I'm sorry if I don't give a lot of credit for in conference games contributing to SOS...

Our OOC games that contribute to our SOS in a meaningful way:
Kansas, Clemson, Marquette, UNC-A, and Furman (& Ga Tech, but again, we play them every year). (Wins in bold)

With that schedule, everyone seems to be ok with losses to Kansas and UK because they are significantly better programs. Most were a little upset that we didn't take at least one of the South Carolina or UF games, but even still they were credited as "quality losses" because we played them tight... Give me a break man. If you can't see the hypocrisy here, I don't know how to help you.
