This topic should probably be dead now, but ... 1) The Sporting News, ESPN, etc., usually do a profile on college basketball teams that you've never heard of who are going to whup somebody big-time come March Madness. They're not ACC or Big Ten, but they're still dangerous. The wording is usually comparable to the original title - schools which are not in Indiana or Duke's class, but who are still dangerous. The fact that Penn Bowl was run the same week tends to support the fact that lots of smaller programs - who may still be dangerous - who decided not to tangle with Chicago, Maryland, Yale, et. al made Sword Bowl (particularly good Mid-South teams who decided not to trek to Philaddelphia in lousy weather. As such, UTC probably had a lot of teams that, while they may not be in Chicago's class yet, can still inflect lots of damage come Regionals and Nationals. Conclusion - it's possible to interpret comments different ways. 2) Please remember that posting/email does not allow for much display of levells of emotion (sarcasm, levity, etc.), and that what appears perfectly clear to you may appear as an insult to someone else. On the same note, please keep this in mind when you read something that strikes you as arrogant before you bring down vengeance upon them. FYI - yes, I've disobeyed the above request numerous times.
