How did the Pats' 16-0 banner make this list and not the Colts' banner - Page 5 - New England Patriots Forums

Oh come on! You know why. It's the Colts!

My feeling on the 16--0 banner today is the same as it was when it went up: if the Coaches and Players from that team said they wanted it, it belongs.

The author is an idiot. How do I know? Look at this one:

The write up for this picture of Kentucky's VOLLEYBALL team's NIT victory?

Team: Kentucky Wildcats

Location: Memorial Coliseum, Lexington, Ky.

Honors: The men's basketball team winning the 1976 NIT

Lameness quotient: Moderate. The Wildcats had the good sense not to hang said banner in Rupp Arena, where the men's basketball team usually plays its home games. Nevertheless, the winningest program in NCAA hoops history shouldn't need to display a 1976 NIT banner anywhere, any more than Magic Johnson needs a trophy case for participating in MTV's Rock 'N' Jock basketball games.

Fun fact(s): Kentucky was playing a 2009 NIT game in Memorial Coliseum because of a Rupp Arena scheduling conflict with a high school basketball tournament. In other words: Kentucky's athletic department does not leave open dates in anticipation of the NIT. (Which is probably why the man in the foreground is no longer coaching the Wildcats.)

Agreed.

I also agree with RussFrancis, probably the whole reason this list was started was because someone at BSPN realized they hadn't ripped on the Pats for a while.
