That's all the way back to when D3hoops.com had the old parquet background! Old school right there. 

Thanks to Web Archive, even those of us that didn't visit the site back then can enjoy that old parquet background.

Tremendous find.  That takes me back...way back.

No doubt, I almost wish I could fire up the old Wabash VAX to email that link. Pine Mail FTW!!!

Wow.  Just wow. 

What I find to be particularly satisfying about Wabash's return to the top 25 is that it is completely organic...Wabash's ranking is a product of 2010-2011 results exclusively.  Wabash had zero votes prior to today's poll.  Wabash didn't have some "seed" points based on what happened last year the preseason poll.  The LGs have genuinely earned every vote they have received this week.  Now the challenge is stay hungry and maintain the level of play that has put the team in this position.

I think that is going to come from Wes. This is his last year and he's certainly playing like he wants to go out on a high note.

Agreed. The football team has had it's share of fragile rankings, it's nice to feel like we earned it...

Pretty cool.

I've always been concerned about the football rankings and how it would affect the team in the upcoming games, I am similarly concerned about this with the hoops team.  

But like others have stated, this team has earned this ranking through playing great basketball and either beating teams they were not supposed to beat or beating teams badly, that should have been close.

We'll see what tomorrow night brings and it is a long season.   This team needs to forget about all of this "ranking" mumbo jumbo   and just play "Wabash Basketball '10" and they will be fine.

I think Petty will keep this team's head in the right place.

Bravo!

I couldn't resist. I made that parquet floor my background on Twitter. Pat, I promise I'm making no money off that image.

Oooh, that makes me want to log in as "Memphis."

For the record, this is Wabash's highest-ever ranking in the D3hoops.com poll, with the only other ranking being #21 in Week 1 of 1999-2000, which was the inaugural season of the poll.  The archive site you dredged up was from the season before that, and features a link to the Columbus Multimedia poll.  Ah, those were the days.  I wonder whatever became of old Barry...

Thank you for making that clear as I have never followed basketball...looks like I will be following it this season...

I almost made a "Memphis" reference earlier but refrained assuming that you and I would be the only ones who would get it.

Nothing wrong with that, Wally; seniority has its privileges!    Anyway, we have a lot of visitors (Pat, Greg Sager, Titan Q, etc.) who remember the good auld days and would appreciate the reference.

Going way back is not just when he was "Memphis" but also to when he used to occasionally appear over on the NCAC football board.

We all make youthful mistakes.
