We know who the top dogs are. How’s life on the lower rungs?
As one coach says, it doesn’t matter. It’s obvious we ain’t that good.
“It’s great that these guys are getting recognized, and I think that’s the most important thing,” (UTC coach) Huesman said. “Where they picked us in the league, I think anywhere from three to nine you could throw them in a hat and pick them out and probably be close.”
To buttress that point, consensus pick for third-best team in the league is … Furman? Makes sense, since Furple finished third in the league last season at a pedestrian 6-5, with all but one win in league.
But still … Furman? What have they done for anyone lately?
We’d actually forgot how unimpressive the SoCon was last season from third place on down. Furple and ‘Nooga each finished one game above .500.
The rest of the league? 19-36. /holds nose
Wooford was hurt by injuries last year, so you gotta expect they’ll be much better. The Stink is going back to its original odor thanks to an experienced hand, so you’d like to think it’d be better.
The rest of the league? /shrug Crap shoot. /pun intended
Bring on more FBS talk.

Here’s something to munch on that is more interesting.
Comment by herbstreitsucks 07.28.10 @ 2:01 pmI still want to cast my vote for Jackson based on what I have seen so far. And while that means I have seen nothing from Jackson, it also lends itself to the lack of confidence I have in Presley at this point.
Comment by Jamey 07.28.10 @ 3:11 pmI am just ready for Sept. 4th.
Comment by asu7 07.28.10 @ 3:32 pmIt will be interesting to see if Elon was able to reload.
Comment by Gwaltineer 07.28.10 @ 5:00 pmI just don’t see Leon being in the top 3 of the conference with the losses they suffered on the O-line and D-line.
Which WR is going to make up the 1600 rec. yards they lose with TH gone?
Comment by tim 07.29.10 @ 11:48 amtim….I will now refer to them as Leon at all times. Accidental miscue or not, that was inspiring.
Leon University. “Where the Championships are almost real!”
Comment by Jamey 07.30.10 @ 1:07 pmYeah Jamey, I’m rather fond of the Leon nickname. It’s by far my dad’s (UNC grad)favorite nickname for the burnt birds. Although when you say it, use a soft lisp with a fruity, Perez Hilton, tone. fElon is probably a close 2nd!
