What does this mean? Hawai'i spent all of 2014 outside the top 16, and started last season outside the top 16. Is there a new rule in place that states they cannot drop below 16? I'm confused. Yes, there is a new rule that exempts Hawaii from falling out of the top 15. Duh! Duh! So your point in clarifying the previous poster's comment is what? ... In any case, I'd take Hawaii's top 25 record history over Minnesota's any day. So, Minn beat Hawaii how many times in their entire series? (ONE?) And Mnn has won how many national championships again? Please do a fact check. I'm confused. (lol) My point is that previous comment by the other poster wasn't meant to be factual. I think you misinterpreted my post (as I apparently misinterpreted greenpier's post.) I was not making any negative judgment on Hawaii; rather the opposite. I interpreted greenpier's post as "the voters refuse to drop Hawaii below 16" (suggesting they aren't actually good enough to be top 16, but the voters are scared to drop them down) and I was pointing out that they are willing to rank Hawaii lower if they feel Hawaii deserves to be lower. (So basically I was suggesting that Hawaii's place in the top 16 is deserved, otherwise the voters would have no problem dropping them down.) |

I agree with everything you said, but if TCU is on par with A&M then what about Creighton, which swept TCU? Creighton gave Nebraska a tougher match (on the road, no less) than Florida and especially Texas (see evidence below), yet the Bluejays remain in 33rd where they were last week. Pablo has the Jays at 25, btw. The Evidence1. Ties & Lead Changes in select Nebraska VB matches this year:
#10 Florida: 21 & 7 #2 Texas: 12 & 4 Iowa State: 10 & 6 CREIGHTON: 31 & 11 2. Creighton Volleyball's 81 points were the most allowed by a Nebraska opponent this fall. 3. Creighton Volleyball's 81 points were the most allowed by Nebraska at home since Oct. 24, 2015, when Wisconsin (97) beat NU in 4 sets. 4. Creighton Volleyball is the first team with 5 aces vs. Nebraska in Lincoln since Penn State also had 5 on Oct. 3, 2014. It's the name. "Bluejays". Lions, Tigers, Bulldogs, etc. all sound fearsome. But who could be scared of blue jays? We have lots of Bluejays in our neighborhood and they are frigging mean. www.pedaldrivenprogramming.com/2008/04/bluejays-are-carnivores/ |

On our porch lamp, birds have built nests and laid eggs every year. We leave them undisturbed to let them nurture their young and eventually fly off. In 2014, as usual, a bird (sparrow?) built a nest there and laid eggs. A bluejay found that nest and raided it by stealing all the eggs. We know it was a bluejay because we caught them in the act, flying away with the eggs one by one, and a few yards away, breaking into them and eating the yolk. My wife was furious. She used to love bluejays, taking photos of them whenever there was a sighting. After the raid, however, she hates them with a passion. Can't even look at them. |

She must despise squirrels then for the same reason |
