TexasTerror Posted August 19, 2008 Report Posted August 19, 2008 First preseason poll? That's the second of the 'big three'. I actually vote in two of the three. We'll teach you Coop! Any Given Saturday Poll, Coaches Poll and Sports Network. The SME Broadcasting poll is relatively new -- we'll see how well that does. Yes, the AGS poll is considered one of the top three and actually has had more teams in the playoffs from their preseason poll than the other two the last few years, plus more in the preseason as in the final poll as well. They're probably the most educated bunch. AGS POLL PRE-SEASON 5/26/2008 (First place votes in parenthesis) 1. Appalachian St. (76) 2. James Madison (2) 3. Richmond (1) 4. North Dakota St. (2) 5.

AggiesAreWe Posted August 19, 2008 Report Posted August 19, 2008 Hey, I see where Lamar received some votes. Wow!!! Won't play till 2010 and get some votes, sign of a great program, don't you think? ;D
Guest coachacola Posted August 19, 2008 Report Posted August 19, 2008 Coach Woodard is bringing in some highly talented walk-ons!!
UNLV Posted August 19, 2008 Report Posted August 19, 2008 Lamar should rise to at least a top 3 ranking or higher since we will go undefeated this year...
AggiesAreWe Posted August 20, 2008 Report Posted August 20, 2008 Lamar should rise to at least a top 3 ranking or higher since we will go undefeated this year... That's the positive side. The negative side, or the TexasTerror side, would be that Lamar will go winless and drop completely out of sight of the polls. ;D
TexasTerror Posted August 20, 2008 Report Posted August 20, 2008 That's the positive side. The negative side, or the TexasTerror side, would be that Lamar will go winless and drop completely out of sight of the polls. ;D Told you guys not to schedule as tough a schedule or to hop into the SLC so quickly...look for Lamar to vanish pretty quickly. I know I did not vote for them and will continue not to do so...
UNLV Posted August 20, 2008 Report Posted August 20, 2008 The really sad part is we will have the nations lowest attendance...
Guest coachacola Posted August 20, 2008 Report Posted August 20, 2008 The really sad part is we will have the nations lowest attendance... But compared to some SLC schools we're not doing that bad.
Guest abovetherim Posted August 20, 2008 Report Posted August 20, 2008 That's the positive side.

I know I did not vote for them and will continue not to do so... Don't vote for Lamar, we haven't earned votes at this point. Do you think the administration waits to see what Texas Terror says before making a decision? Please, that sounds very arrogant.
TexasTerror Posted August 20, 2008 Report Posted August 20, 2008 Don't vote for Lamar, we haven't earned votes at this point. Do you think the administration waits to see what Texas Terror says before making a decision? Please, that sounds very arrogant. I was making a sarcastic reference to Lamar's "appearance" in this year's poll...
Guest abovetherim Posted August 20, 2008 Report Posted August 20, 2008 Sorry, I missed the sarcasm.... I apologize for my remark. I admit it was funny seeing Lamar with votes and until next Monday there isn't a single player on the team.
TexasTerror Posted August 20, 2008 Report Posted August 20, 2008 Sorry, I missed the sarcasm.... I apologize for my remark. I admit it was funny seeing Lamar with votes and until next Monday there isn't a single player on the team. Sarcasm has a way of not making the transition successfully to message boards or online chats, eh? Lamar actually did not have any votes...unless there was an error and they changed it. Apparently, Hofstra was admitted from the initial release according to a post on AGS. This is the official ORV: Others receiving votes: Northern Arizona 249, Fordham 212, Delaware State 198, Jacksonville State 195, Yale 170, Sam Houston State 166, Montana State 146, Furman 120, Liberty 115, Jackson State 79, South Carolina State 76, Holy Cross 74, Hofstra 61, Colgate 56, Grambling 55, Norfolk State 48, Coastal Carolina 44, Hampton 41, Southern 32, Northwestern State 30, Tennessee-Martin 30, UC Davis 22, Weber State 17, Lafayette 16, Alabama A&M 10, Texas Southern 9, Brown 9, Nicholls State 9, Dayton 6, Tennessee State 5, San Diego 4, Albany 4, Maine 1, Prairie View 1.
