You mean...we got fewer votes...than Stephen F. Austin?  That's like losing a primary to Rudy Giuliani.::nut::

Just goes to show that you have to throw out outliers.

AP...  does Jeremy Schaap have a vote?

[Weder]

It was John Feinstein

Does he have an archive of past votes? I wonder if his #25 is always a school that wouldn't get recognized otherwise.

Thanks, I was trying to find the breakdown but couldn't.

His book on Patriot League hoops is a great read.

I've been meaning to read that.  I've also had a question about the title "The Last Amateurs" for a while.  It's about the Patriot League, and as I understand it, glorifies it as the final academically-minded, non-scholarships, home-of-the-true-student-athlete frontier in Division I basketball.  

Hey!!  Over here!!

Unless Feinstein makes the case that the Patriot League is less of a well known entity than the "big name" schools of the Ivy League.  And I guess "Some of the Few Amateurs" isn't a great book title.  But I hope he doesn't ignore us completely.

Feinstein talks about small, academic schools a lot on Tony Kornheiser's radio program.  He's a very smart, very irritating guy, much like TK.

In Kornheiser's defense, he made the big time as a Binghamton grad and had the good sense to send his daughter to Cornell! Plus, he often has a Cornell football helmet on his desk during PTI. Where else can you find that kind of free advertising? As for John Feinstein, I agree that he can be irritating in interviews, but he sure can write.
