Nice.... I thought we'd be close on us making it or not.  Hopefully this guys the guys a little added motivation going into Athens.

Knowing our luck, it will motivate Georgia.

Do we take the bait?

Crap.

I feel the same way.

Worked out well for us against SMU.  We had just entered the top 25 when we played them.

Hope this time sticks. Tough game tomorrow night but I'm not writing it off as many have.

[latrops]

Knowing our luck, it will motivate Georgia.

Maybe it is a good thing.  If attendance is good and there is an energy in the gym, maybe we play well.  Our energy level on the road does sometimes seem tied to the size and enthusiasm of the home crowd.  Georgia fans should show up for the start of conference play against a ranked team.

Crap

Now we need to string some conference wins together to get further into the Top 25. We really need to solidify ourselves, so that each loss doesn't knock us out, and then leaving us out of the Big Tournament.

[Mick Hogger]

It helps a lot to see us on that top 25 ticker that's scrolling with scores. Otherwise, we won't get near as much exposure based on who we've been.

Carpe diem.

GO HOGS!

[phadedhawg]

Just in time to play a road game...lol

The AP poll is trolling us I tell ya'

[jry04]

#25 in usa today, and an 8 seed in the latest bracketology.

[hog.goblin]

GA game is huge

[phadedhawg]

GA game is huge

yes sir!

[phadedhawg]

It starts at 4 pm on the West Coast.  I may leave early to watch it.  Last time I did that, against Iowa State we lost.  I'm very superstitious so I may just record it.

I was at the game in Ames. ISU fans were mocking this mantra.

[Nipsey Mussle]

Beating these 200+ RPI teams isn't going to get us back into the top 25. The voters don't trust us on the road and neither should you. We're only a top 40 team right now, not top 25.

You promise?

[dsims2k3]

Recognize we're back  :razorback:

Strike a match!

[Hogfaniam]

Latest, greatest.

LSU and Bama getting votes.

I find it amusing that 3 of the 4 voters who didn't put us in their Top 25 all voted for Dayton even though we handled them quite easily.

I can think of a word, but it's not "amusing"

Ron Morris (South Carolina based columnist) threw the Hogs a #19 vote.

Being ranked 27th is good. we are one of the top 27 teams in all of college basketball. which mean Mike Anderson is doing an outstanding job. GO HOG and GO MIKE ANDERSON.

[SloppinItandLovnIt]

Dang it - put your money on us to lose against Tenner tomorrow night. We are ranked 25th in the USA Today standings now. CURSES!

[forrest city joe]

Go make a banner. 

In all seriousness, why don't you make a sig line with this so you don't have to post it repeatedly...

Same reason some of you won't stop bashing Mike Anderson. that's why.

We're close again.  When we fight our way into the top 25 for the 3rd time, I don't want to leave again...

[Mark Martin Fan]

The sad thing is, we should be 18-1 and in the top 15.  Hopefully we start playing defense very soon.  If we can't win with the group we have now...well, it could be a long wait. 
But I'm not giving up the faith...but I'm not drinking the kool-aid either. 
GO HOGS!!

Since we are doing should haves, we should be 19-0.

If you are going to be a dreamer, go whole hog! :razorback: :razorback: :razorback: :razorback:

A&M'S next five games - on the road against Ole Miss and Missouri, home against GA, Fla and LSU. How many will they win? I say two.

[rusvegashog]

If we can somehow stay unranked we might win out.

They are doing good now, and then adding this class next year:

I've heard their $pecial tactic$ in recruiting are paying off.

3 minimum probably 4. They are really really good and now that Jones is back in the lineup they look even better.
