"and we have a top 5 recruiting class getting a vote isn't that much of a stretch"

if we have a top 5 recruiting class anywhere, it is for NEXT year, where some have us ranked in the top 25. we def don't have a top 5 INCOMING recruiting class.

also, since every publication on earth ranked us last in the ACC, it is a pretty big strecth to put us in the top 25 in the country. i'm not saying there is no way we will be there, but if i were to act as impartial outside observer, it wouldnt make sense.

i wonder if Goren had a vote int he preseason ACC poll...

Yeah, I agree. Leave this topic alone beardawg.

8/19/2007 1:29:43 PM

i actually saw on espn yesterday where they ranked us as the #2 most suprisingly awesome recruiting class.

i think we might crack the top 10 recruiting for next year

8/19/2007 1:49:10 PM

telling beardawg to leave it alone will work

BRILLIANT!!!

Actually we aren't picked last in the ACC, just in the Atlantic division. Most put UNC, Duke, and UVa below us overall. The reason most are picking us last in the Atlantic has less to do with us sucking and more to do with not being able to lower the ranking for the rest of the teams in our division... just too much talent.

We are getting ranked low for one reason our QB situation. If we had a decent battle tested QB with the stable of RB's we have no one would pick us to be last. Until one of our QB's can show up and preform like they should week in and week out we are going to have problems.

OMFG

where is duke's vote?

8/20/2007 9:31:38 AM

The vote came from Dave Goren, of WXII-TV in Greensboro

Only explanation I have is that Hova thought we were talking about basketball.
