ZippyRulz 492 Report post Posted February 2 Toledo fun fact: Mastermind of the band Boston -Tom Scholz - was from Toledo, graduating in 1965 from Ottawa Hills H.S. where he played varsity basketball. He then spurned UT for MIT, dabbled in home studio recording, and the rest as they say.... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I cut the cable last summer after an exorbitant fee increase. Now stream using Sling. Great value! Only downside is you must view locals over-the-air (which I don't mind). Standard Sling service includes ESPN3, and the HD picture quality is outstanding. Really enjoyed watching the last 2 games on my 70" screen! Clark, can you get us more games on ESPN3?

It also seems like the AAC should be included and Gonzaga should not(!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kreed5120 1,624 Report post Posted February 2 The AAC doesn't want to be a part of the poll, which is why they're excluded. The WCC does want to be included, which is why Gonzaga is included. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kreed5120 1,624 Report post Posted February 2 Man the MAC sucks this year. The first 2 years these rankings came out I think the MAC had at most 1 team at any given moment ranked 300+. This year 25% of the conference is that low. Toledo has an NIT at-large resume. They won't sniff March Madness without the MAC's bid. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RowdyZip 206 Report post Posted February 2 (edited) With games at 3 of the top 6 (other than us) coming up in the next two weeks, it's time to prove the "penalty" for those early season losses wrong. I'll feel a lot better if we can pull off a win tonight, but this is a murderous upcoming schedule. Would be happy at 2-2 and ecstatic at 3-1 or 4-0.
