Today in Great Americans: Scott Wolf

When, in the course of human events, one of our countrymen does something courageous and noble and worthy of note, I feel it is our duty to honor that Great American in our own small way.
Today, we salute YOU, Scott Wolf.
(No. Not that one. Although that Scott Wolf's turn as Bailey in Party of Five was certainly inspirational, especially for those of us who struggled to run a family restaurant at age 14 while fighting alcoholism in the midst of a post-apocalyptic dystopia in which humans are grown to serve as fuel for sentient robots that have taken over the planet.*
* In the interest of full disclosure: I never watched the show (I was a Dawson's Creek guy, m'self), so it's entirely possible that I'm confusing some of the plot points.
And before I end my tangent: holy hell, is Scott Wolf the "one of these things doesn't belong" on the Po5 cast list, or what? Neve Campbell, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Jack from LOST, that one kid who was in Mean Girls, even the guy who played T.S. in Mallrats -- and then there's Scott Wolf, "who would star in the movie Go" and used to party with Charlie Sheen. I mean: ouch, babe.
And don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of Go. I think it's terrifically underrated, and I'm heartbroken that the guy who played Simon has been reduced to bit parts in something called No Man's Land: The Rise of Reeker. But do you think Jay Mohr's epitaph is going to read: starred in the movie Go, opposite Scott Wolf? I'm just sayin'.)
ANYWAY:
The Scott Wolf we're concerned with today is the USC beat reporter and Associated Press college basketball poll voter for the L.A. Daily News. You see, Mr. Wolf has mixed himself an industrial-grade vat of blue-n-gold Kool Aid, and he's helping himself to seconds and thirds.
1. Syracuse
2. Marquette
3. Louisville
4. Kentucky
5. Ohio State
6. Connecticut
7. Duke
8. North Carolina
9. Wisconsin
10. Kansas
That, my friends, is the work of a Great American. Next time you're in Milwaukee, Scott Wolf Who Wasn't in Party of Five, the first (four) round(s) of Jagermeister are on us. Cheers.

I call BS
You totally watched Party of 5—I know this because you reference it as Po5.

No, I'm being honest.
Never watched it. There were clear lines between those of us who watched The Creekand those who watched Po5 in the late ‘90s. Wasn’t quite to the level of Bloods-Crips, but it was close.
We pull our pants up and do our jobs here.
Let's not forget about those Seventh Heaven whack jobs
I had a Seventh Heaven-o-phile as a roommate for one year. It was always a very special episode in which someone or another was learning about becoming a woman. I mean how many times can you get your first period in one household?!?
Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.

Good point.
But, to be fair: Dad from 7th Heaven was awesome on It’s Always Sunny.

Fun Fact
Both the mom and dad from 7th Heaven were in a Star Trek movie.

How much of a Big East homer is this guy?
Syracuse, Marquette, UL as his top 3?
And he writes for a paper in LA?
FWIW, I know he had Marquette at 9 to start the season.

Ok am I crazy to think UL is overrated?
They havent played anyone solid (outside Vandy…) and they do not overly impress me, other than the fact they have been undefeated even with all those injuries, granted, their schedule isnt that tough
Also…MU @ #2?? Thats some strong kool aid. I dont think we are top ten without Otule giving us that extra oomph of defense + height
We'll know a lot more about UofL after the UK game, of course.
But I’m a believer.

Depends on what you think overrated is.
When you start at a certain spot in the polls and don’t lose, you end up moving up. Eventually everyone loses, but if you lose after everyone else, you move pretty far up.
Remember when George Washington went something like 27-1 and were top 5 in the polls? They ended up WAY below a 2 seed.

Ahh yes I do recall that GW team
Wisconsin seems to follow that trend too, high preseason rank, easy schedule = good ranking for the year —> poor tourney success (sometimes)
Pitino has a well coached squad, and I think a way to beat them would be to make the PG Siva make stupid mistakes =turnovers (because hey, isnt that MU’s gameplan every game?? Hahah), because he is an impulsive player (like Jardine). Then again, hes also pretty clutch. (see: Vanderbilt game)
When's the last time Bucky was overrated heading into the year?
We pull our pants up and do our jobs here.
But Bucky's seed line generally matches where they are in the polls.
If they’re 15th, they’re a 4, and so on.

My jury is still out on UL too
I wasn’t terribly impressed with the Vandy game. That said I still think they’re good, I just don’t they’re top 3 good.
And the game against Kentucky should be a good indicator of how far off I am on that.
We all have to chase one rabbit. If we try to chase two rabbits we won't catch either of 'em.
