Congrats to the GSU Tigers for climbing to #3 in the polls. This means that they are getting much RESPECT from those who know. Anyone know the last time a HBC team was ranked #!?

MH, now you know good and doggone well those votes were meant for ASU. You know they get us all confused. L we probably got some of J'vlle States votes! hahahaha:D


Papatiger,

TnSU ended the regular season undefeated and ranked #1 in 1998 I believe. I don't know how many weeks they were ranked #1.
 
Big ups to Gram. BTW, a JSU win this weekend will only help GSU get more votes because you guys manhandled us. Just hope Hughes doesn't give a game away.
 
Way to go Tigers! When the hornets defeat you on saturday....we should break into the top 25.
