    NEVER post anything before checking it yourself FIRST.

    I may have been giving BS info on my post earlier. THis is how it went. I got to work, checked ESPN.com and saw both polls not updated yet. My boss asks me if we are ranked I said NO I dont think so. He messages me a few minutes later that we are 21st in AP and Coaches is NOT out yet.

    I was so excited to share I posted it on here before checking. I TRUST this guy and hes very sharp. I went back and asked him where he got the link and he said he "googled" it, so then I googled it and couldnt find it anywhere. So I just lost ALL credibility and rightfully so. I am SORRY for posting heresay and not a fact. Assasinate away! Again I messed up and I am sorry.

    Re: NEVER post anything before checking it yourself FIRST.

    Thanks for your reply, but anyone who follows college basketball knows the AP is released later in the afternoon after the coaches poll, so I was positive it wasn't valid.

    Thanks for your message though.

    Mea Culpa graciously accepted.

    And we don't do much gracefully around here, so savor it.

    I went to college thinking I wanted a career; turns out I just wanted paychecks.

    A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.

    See, wanting to be the first isn't always being right. Apology excepted. BTW...if it wasn't posted on twitter, it definitely is right
