Our record is listed at 0-0...but whatever! We are RANKED.

I was asking myself this morning: “Self, why are you so excited about this? We made the Final Four a few years ago, what’s the big deal about an in-season ranking?”

Simple answer is: it’s validation from the outside that we’ve built an actual program. That 2018 wasn’t just a flash in the pan. The school and coaches didn’t just ride the wave of 2018 to something else and leave us to clean up the scraps and confetti, they stayed invested and built a program. A new block of tradition. We already knew that, but this is a sign that others are starting to see it too.

Great post! But it would have been even better if you had used "culture" a few times.

Very cool! I would have sworn we were in the final 2018 poll -- had no idea that was the Coaches' poll, not the AP.
