Blue Ribbon Bullish About Horns
Blue Ribbon College Basketball Yearbook announced its preseason college hoops rankings, and Texas checks in at #2, its highest preseason ranking in the 25 year history of the publication. Blue Ribbon is known as the “Bible” of college basketball and it’s a good sign that they see such good things for Texas. Bear in mind that they base their projections on what they think the final poll will look like after the NCAA tournament, which means that they see Texas in the championship game.
We’ve been pretty much consumed by the football team lately (for good reason), but make no mistake about it: we’re absolutely giddy about this year’s hoops team, too. In fact, two of our authors argued that the hoops team is a better bet to make the NCAA title game than the football team. The in-depth football coverage will continue, but we’re already starting to think about the basketball team that will feature Daniel Gibson, Lamarcus Aldridge, P.J. Tucker, and Brad Buckman.

Travis,
I agree. It is better for us to take some lumps than breeze through the season. The one good thing the ranking help with is seeding, and just like football, if you start high it is easier to stay up there.

Just some more hype for this coming season, sports illustrated has us easily in the final four..... http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2005/writers/luke_winn/09/21/inside.bkc/index.html
