Did anyone see where ELA ranked us #101 preseason on the WAC forum. I can't wait until the season starts to prove everyone wrong. We will finish at least in the top 3 in the conference.

9 wins, second in the WAC.......bowling again!!!!
ELA?
What's that? Or am I just brain dead at the moment?
It's just a poster on the scout message boards. As you can imagine, he isn't looking all that closely at 120 teams. Just briefly looking at last year's schedule, results, and statistics and running with the obvious.
Basically, he thinks since we lost our all-time leading rusher and got a new coach(with a rep for throwing the ball around) we will pass more. But since we only won 4 games last year we won't win many this year.
Probably similar to what you'll get on any non-top 25 team in a national mag, but less information.
I wouldnt get in a twist over that. CFN has us somewhere around there in their preseason rankings too. We'll probably see more numbers like that.
I dont take it as a lack of respect. We didnt prove much in 09 and ON PAPER, that's what our 2010 chances look like to most outsiders.
Besides -- Tech performs best when below the radar. Embrace it.
We were 4-8. When we string together winning seasons and bowl trips it will end and not before.
