Dick Weiss: Champion Of The People

Ever since the new AP Poll came out and No. 10 Syracuse received one first-place vote, we've been dying to find out who this dark knight was. Who was able to look past the years of poll policy that forbid voters from making week-to-week decisions rather than just sticking to their guns about what they though a month before the season started? Who was that masked man?
The New York Daily News sportswriter, who has fantastic hair by the way, put the Orange in the top slot, followed by Michigan State (actual No. 2), Texas (No. 3), Kansas (No. 1) and Villanova (No. 4).
Is Weiss a little biased since he covers SU? Perhaps. And, as Cuse Country notes, he was most likely on hand for the Cal and UNC beatdowns. That said, it doesn't make his sentiment any less valid. I mean, give me a good reason why Villanova, Texas, West Virginia and the rest of them should be ranked higher than us right now. I'm waiting...

Why, you can barely even see the sales tags on that thing.

OK, glad we're all on the same page on that one.
Actually it looks like his fantastic hair is sliding off in that picture! But that’s cool he voted us #1.
Axe was talking about this, more generally, the other day
About how fans crave respect for their team. Then when you take a step back, it doesn’t really make much sense why we care that some sports writer from Louisville (you know I’m talking about you Forde) thinks poorly of our team, especially at this point in the season.
That being said, I would have been incensed if we weren’t in the Top 10 after the clinic we put on last weekend. Which just goes to show that being a sports fan is not a rational, logical endeavor.
