Stanford stole our only chance at 1st place vote.

visitingcock, I understand and appreciate your glee, enthusiasm and exuberance, but let's keep it real. This is a POLL, not a championship. Championships are won in April between the lines, not in November, and not in a poll.

Congratulations on your team's recognition as the "preseason" number 1 WCBB team in the country by the Associated Press. It's a designation Gamecock Nation can/should be proud of. The Boneyard is aware of your team's recent success and it's intent to remain and be recognized as one of the top 5 teams in the country.

Dawn has done an excellent job of building her program and raising it to an elite status. We expect (as you do) for her to maintain that status for years to come. UConn Nation looks forward to our scheduled meeting on February 8 in Gampel Pavilion.

anyone notice that we play #1, 4, 5 and 6? We can't play #3, since that's us! Not a bad OOC schedule....

 

[Huskee11]

UConn plays everyone else in the top six but Stanford, and two of them - Miss St and Louisville - in the first seven days of their season.

Other than that, the only other top 30 opponent is DePaul, presumably twice. Marquette and Tennessee show up as getting vote(s) but not in top 30. So not much of a chance to build back a resume if they falter early. Those two early games are huge.

At Baylor in January will be tough although uncertain whether Richards will play. SC obviously tough even though at (empty) Gampel.

Related question.

What is our NC record when we were preseason #1? What is our NC record when we were not ranked Preseason #1?

That's a yoke, son. I say I say, that's a yoke. (In my best Foghorn Leghorn drawl)


People just don't appreciate my attempts at self-deprecating humor. Yet.

Stop the Count!

(It had to be said).

 

[triaddukefan]

We got a vote. Probably the only vote we will get all year.... but we got a vote.

 

[Fairfield Fan]

Just one vote for Tennessee? Aren't the rankers always supposed to put UT into the Top 25? Is it that they don't feel the same sense of obligation now that no one from the Pat Era is there anymore? Thought they were recruiting strongly. Not even close to Top 25? How strange is that.....?

They had enough votes for ranking, but they turned 'em over.

Wow, that's really giving the needle. So, where are all the Lady Vol fans? Is there no one willing to pick-up the gauntlet?

 

[JellyBean]

No love for Fresno State or Iowa?

 

[Cuango]

Hmmmm, wonder if Dawn is lobbying the NCAA to create some sort of trophy?
I can’t believe how little respect North Carolina is getting! I think they are the next big thing. I would put Arizona in that category as well, but they, at least have actually started to get some recognition. Adia Barnes has really turned them around in a hurry! In just four seasons she has transformed the Wildcats from a perennial PAC-12 doormat into a legitimate contender for the conference title and is apparently not just a flash in the pan as she is recruiting (and signing) top 50-75 talent as well. Keep your eyes on NC! Banghart is going to surprise some people in the next few years!

I say son, I say. I got it. I have no doubt as to your kinship with the illustrious Mr Leghorn. And as Foghorn was wont to say , go ahead and tell @Carnac "Ah, shaddup!"

 

[Only1coj]

As a Ladyvol fan, we're not worried about rankings at the moment. Starting from the bottom and headed to the top... I think these young ladies are ready to earn it!

I think they will be a much better team overall. They need shooters/scorers, players with good hands. I don't see 25 teams better.

Looking forward to having your guys at the Ferrell Center in January.

In a video press conference last Monday Richards says she'll be fine. KMulkey didn't say otherwise; simply that only when the training staff and team docs clear her completely will she then address when, and at what position Didi will be on the court.

I think we need to teach @visitingcock how to add an emoji to his posts that connote the correct interpretation as I believe he was trying for humor or jest... to wit or

 

[MilfordHusky]

Interesting that Stanford got 1 first-place vote and UConn is just slightly behind the Cardinal in points.

it’s perhaps more fun when everybody isn’t quite sure. Those Boneyarders with whom I have interacted “got it” immediately. Some weren’t sure. Some took it completely seriously. Isn’t ambiguity more fun?

I got it. Funny and self-deprecating. No ambiguity at all.

On which date will they hoist the banner , Mr Cock,sir?

 

[HiDribble]

5 teams from the big 10. No way.

 

[visitingcock]

I would expect something for the first game. Not a "championship banner" but something like

2019-2020
32-1
Coaches & AP Number One

I could be wrong, but I expect Dawn to commemorate that team and its departed seniors


Of course, a 2019-2020 SEC Championship Banner will fly so maybe she will consider that enough
