[NU Sports] Preseason Coaches' Poll Out

[SjT (Stephen J. Truog)]

> Northwestern received 2 votes ("others receiving
> votes").

Interesting - of course, had powerhouse Duke not
received a vote as well I might be more honored at the
poll's credibility. Seriously, who are these coaches
letting fill out their ballots???

> 4 Big Ten teams in top 25.
> OSU is preseason #1.

Again, no respect for the league -- Michigan is the
second team at #15? C'mon! Though the spread-out votes
among the top 6-7 show how wide open this year could
be. 

I'm surprised OSU is #1 (with no clear favorite, Texas
should be tops until beaten) ... but it's better than
the nauseating hype of Notre Dame being #1, which I
expect will hit next week when those AP writers can
continue their Irish bias and bring the "glory
returning to South Bend" bandwagon up to full speed.
Blech.

GO CATS!!!
