UNC and Duke Picked To Finish First In ACC Preseason Poll; Ed Davis First Team All-ACC
Tar Heel Fan —
... is a first for everything I suppose. In the 41 years the ACC has had the media release a preseason poll, this is the first time there has been a tie at the top. Needless to say that speaks volumes since I think we are walking headlong into a repeat of 2007, 1995 or 1985 whichever one strikes your fancy. 2007 seems more likely since that season, like this one, was characterized by plenty of youth with a smattering of experience on most teams.

Carolina March —
... Don't get me wrong, I was also expecting the Blue Devils to fail to live up to preseason expectations, but I still expected those expectations to be high. They only lost Henderson, Paulus and last year's potential savior at the point Elliot Williams. Carolina lost four starters and return only two upperclassmen with significant playing time. Folks have been raving about Krzyzewski's invoming class like it was the second coming of, well, every other Duke recruiting class, regardless how many players turn into Brian Zoubek once they hit Cameron Indoor. I expected a full-on ...

... of Al Groh’s tenure, and Exhibit B) the painful first pangs of Tony Bennett’s tenure. To be honest, I sat in my hotel room in Seoul on Monday morning while the Redskins were losing to the Chiefs a few weeks ago at about 6am (4pm Sunday EST) and thought about posting, but thought better of it. There’s not even much light at the depths of the tunnel. This is an old team, filled with overpriced contracts, for players who are either chronically unhealthy (see Clinton Portis) or chronically painful to watch, by way of weak offensive line/new offensive system/loopy throwing ...
