Media Selects Pre-Season All-ACCers. GT Continues Their Trek Under The Radar

They picked us 3rd in the Coastal Division. Why should we have any players on the All-ACC list? The Preseason All-ACC list was just released this morning and Sean Bedford is the only Yellow Jacket to be selected.

One could get upset at this "slap to the face" of the defending conference champions. Or one can shrug it off, say "Screw it. Who cares?" and go watch your team prove more people wrong...again. I'll take the latter thank you very much. What matters is who has that ring and who makes the list at the END of the season.

Who are your preseason All-ACC "snubs"?

I don't really care about this stuff

The list seems okay to me. Sean Bedford isn’t your prototypical center, which leads me to believe that the ACC is weak at the center position. Nesbitt would be Tech’s only other player with the potential to be on this list, but Ponder is a sound choice, so I’m not complaining. Anthony Allen had a chance, but he’s switching “positions,” which probably doesn’t help.

Agreed

As Roddy Jones has said, our team’s talent is much more spread out this year. Furthermore, all our players that would make a preseason list with ‘proven’ track records are playing on Sundays now. As far as players that could make the post season All ACC team, I could see Nesbitt, Allen, Stephen Hill, and maybe one of our DB’s make it, but all of them save Nesbitt (which we already knew he wouldn’t garner the votes from the media) haven’t had enough PT to make a preseason list. Is it College Football Season yet?

whatever

Frankly, I enjoy coming in below the radar. The victories ‘taste’ better when your not slated to be as sucessful than the previous year. Think of the converse – go into the season highly praised and then fall short – then what – more questions and finger pointing. How constructive. Let’s keep the perspective that the preseason lists are just that – preseason. Sept 4th can’t get here soon enough.
