Suggestion...if you try and point out Tomato Can games...suggest you do it for all games involved.

DePaul is taking on #265 RPI Austin Peay today.

Or maybe....just skip the Tomato Can comments all together.

Simply an over sight, change made in OP. FWIW, instead of putting vegas odds or RPI rankings, I just offer a quick way to get insight into the competition level of the match-up for those who may want to know. Keep referring to the RPI if you prefer, it's the same idea. Thx for your positive input.
Depaul gets it's 2nd win over a tomato can this season with a 98-67 victory against AUstin Peay. Congrats Blue Demons!

I don't understand the term "tomato can", it doesn't seem to be anything obvious to me, care to expound?

Not even worth explaining...its his own private put-down of other programs.
First time SMU has been 3-0 since 2001

its a sports idiom, basically any opponent that is perceived as a weaker opponent and should be a "guaranteed" win.
Glad SMU is doing good things.

Memphis could have played a lot better tonight. We need to be on our A-game come next week for the Battle of Atlantis.

Man F1 was cool today. I am a total noob but loved it.

Don't be knocking Doh, he was a terrible coach but still loves the school, something I wish our football coach did.

RoboD'oh was a tool.
Personally, I'm gonna miss RoboDoh jawing with Memphis fans behind the bench. Good times.
