highlighting a bleacher report article is like wearing the #1 Dad t-shirt your son got you for Father's Day and actually thinking it means you're better than other dads

I think that is great for the players and school.  Not quite sure how someone can consider that a negitive??

It's not, but it doesn't change the fact Bleacher Report is worthless. And it's hypocritical if we dismiss them when they say something bad about us and defend them when they say something good.

When people who know what they're talking about give us accolades (and it happens), I'm thrilled.

We don't dismiss them when they write something bad about us because they write for Bleacher Report. The articles that are dismissed are dismissed because they are factually incorrect or poorly written.  If they write something bad about us and it's well written and true you can't dismiss it.

Sometimes you can dismiss something positive for the same reason.  The other day they had something like the best 46 home football unies in FBS.  The name sucked, but I looked anyway.  OU was something like #44.  They extolled the stripes on the shoulders as an homage to bygone days (presumably, pre-1980s).  They had a picture of Boo cocking his arm to throw a pass.  Unfortunately, he was wearing ROAD WHITES.  Dis-missed.

saw the team playing a pick up game in ping the other day. Seems like everyone gets along well and they have a good time.

I disagree that BleacherReport is a dog as in this ranking of the coolest college campuses they nailed two Athens but only one Oxford!
