Sometimes I wonder about these RPI things. Florida State is the #1 ranked team. They've played two games, and have beaten #63 Tulane and #135 Florida. So how does their strength of schedule rank as #1 also? You mean no one has played two teams better than Tulane and Florida yet?

No worries, swampnik. I got a chuckle out of my inability to realize that you meant "tough", it really never occurred to me. Then I got another chuckle out of this post I'm quoting. My work is ridiculously busy and pressure filled (sales sucked in the 3rd quarter, immediately after our company got an investment from a fortune 500 company) and laughs are few and far between as I'm working 60-70 hour weeks and traveling more than I ever wanted. THANKS for the laughs!
BTW: Are you familiar with the Honey Island Swamp Band? If you are (or are not) check out their song "300 Pounds". Forget about what his crop is, your screen name makes me think about the guy that's the subject of the song every time I see it!

I haven't spoken to Aaron W in a while, but last I checked, they called New Orleans home. He's from the Gulf coast. Not sure where the rest of the band lives. If you recall, they made a stop between gigs to visit Zachary in the hospital in August of 2017, when he was only a few weeks into his second leukemia treatment. Great guys, great band, great sound. Saw them at the French Quarter Fest and toured the Honey Island Swamp the next day!
