WVU is tied for 24 in Coaches and 25th in AP. Frankly a good place to be.

PRE-SEASON POLLS: I am excited by the prospect of starting in the Top 25. Last year if you remember we were no where near that list. I realize that sPitt is ahead of us in both polls but I am not concerned too much about that. I truly believe that we are in a very good spot. If we do have a productive season we are in striking distance to make a climb. Pollsters are obviously concerned about our "new QB". Geno shall just have to do his best to persuade the voters one game at a time.

For the readers, this Blog shall do a poll but we don't post one until 6 weeks into season. The reason for this is that we really know very little about the incarnations of each of the teams until we see something from them. Presumably we shall know a lot after 6 weeks as most of the teams will have at least 5 games under their belts by then. I am looking for voters for this poll. Please comment to this post if you are interested in submitting votes for the Blog Poll. I shall expect you to comment during the season on other points frequently.

Other Notes:

• WVU is having annual "Fan Day" at Mountaineer Field tomorrow. Anyone going to attend?
• Camp has closed and it was thought to be a good one by both players and staff.
• Team is now in Coastal Carolina preparations. I say that a little tongue and cheek as I think we are going to be preparing for Marshall as well. We have some business to settle with our former Coach in Huntington.
• Be sure to watch WDTV (Clarksburg, WV) Jed Drenning, The Signal Caller, will be doing periodic shows regarding the Mountaineers this season.

Go EERS!!!
