[QUOTE="Nick Danger, post: 3146450, member: 33407"] [SIZE=5]This ESPN ranking doesn't make much sense. They're saying that we are only going to have [I]three [/I]conference wins this Fall (Tech, West Virginia, and Kansas)! Even if we win all of our out-of-conference games, that puts us at 6-6 (which is mediocre), and only an incremental improvement over last year . . . even with a number of well-thought-of Portal additions (ranked as high as 10th in the country just a week ago), and all the positive reports coming out of spring practices (which they apparently don't read)!? [I][B] But if they really believe that, why are they (ESPN) bothering to broadcast our Spring Game, for like the first time EVER!?[/B][/I] Normally, that is a relative honor bestowed on more "high profile" programs, or those programs that are expecting a break-out season in the Fall, or that have some sort of compelling story to tell. As far as I can tell, ESPN can't believe that a mediocre 6-6 team headed for the First Responder Bowl would meet any of those criteria! Exactly what sort of story line could they put forth during the broadcasted Spring Game of a mediocre 6-6 team? Again, [I]if they really believe that[/I]! [I]I tell ya Bobby Earl, that just don't make no sense![/I][/SIZE] :confused: [/QUOTE]
