The AP's Voting Link for Week Eight Ballots

By Mel Greenberg

Greetings all on this short note.

For those of you who haven't bookmarked the last post, here is the AP Voting Link again for how ballots were casted in this week's poll.

The Guru is staying short this time while doing a Wednesday night stint on the desk. But we'll be on the scene with our gender-equity class Thursday night when the Drexel men, the city's hottest team, hosts George Mason in the Colonial Athletic Association opener.

Although Delaware went 3-0 against Big Five women's teams since the start of the season and Drexel went 3-1 against Big Five men's teams, the conference isn't planning psuedo trophies at the post-season dinners.

It was the first-ever for Drexel to beat three Big Five'ers in the same season, including a first-ever win over Villanova.

That said, it's back to the Guru's main salaried job. However, for those who have begun following us on the crossover, we have an online advance on the Drexel men at Philly.com for the George Mason game that couldn't be fitted into print because of space.

Ray Parrillo included Drexel in the print version in his overall advance.

-- Mel
