Good morning. I am the admin/founder of Moc Nation for those who don’t know me. Before that I was one of the admins of Moc Fans so I have been doing this for about 20 years. One thing I have noticed over the years is that while some of the media is informed and does their job well, we as most any conference, have media that is un-informed. That same media gets to vote on preseason and postseason polls and players of the year. IMO many of us hardcore fans know the conference better than that segment of the media.
So, what I am proposing is that we have a SoCon Fans Power Poll. There will be a representative from each school who will vote weekly in an email ranking the conference teams. Initially it will be for men’s basketball only. Each representative will not be allowed to vote for his/her school, thus at least partially eliminating some built-in bias. If this works out well, we could look at adding football and women’s basketball next season. If we can show we take this serious maybe the SoCon will give us some credence and acknowledge our efforts.
I will take the lead for this first season and compile the weekly poll which will be done by an email in system. So, what I am asking of you is to come up with one person for your school who will agree to take the time and do this seriously. Who is that fan for your school? You guys can figure that out.
I will check back in a day or two and hopefully you will have a name and an email address.
Additionally, anybody know any serious fan for UNCG? They don’t have a board that gets any traffic that I can find.
Thanks
