Ruiz favored over Haines?

[Husker_Du]

i don't think that's true.

how about you?

is it binary?

are you picking Ruiz or would you react with shock and awe if he won?

you're saying those are the only choices?

Yeah you're right. Bad take on my part, letting my disdain for pyles style of pontification develop into unfair criticisms. 

i'm not backing my off characterization of Pyles as void of insight and in a constant state of universal pandering, though that was a stupid time to crowbar it in.

They didn't. You know how much they love Penn State and how rarely they pick underdogs. Pyles in a recent FRL said Ruiz *could* beat Haines but he wasn't picking it to happen. JD predicted Ruiz to finish 3rd next year 

Classic Pyles. If Ruiz does beat Haines, they'll all claim Pyles called it.

even i'll give pyles enough credit to say he's not taking credit for any predictions he didn't make.
