If Jock had a vote, I wonder what team he’d pick
August 4, 2010 by Mike Casazza
The Big East media poll was released yesterday and installed Pitt as the conference’s preseason favorite. Panthers Coach Dave Wannstedt didn’t quite understand that, what with Cincinnati being a two-time defending conference champion “and that is who we are all chasing,” which is perfectly reasoned and diplomatic coach-speak.
Jock Sanders is a slot receiver at WVU and definitely not a coach, which explains this quote:
“The crazy thing about it to me is, Pitt got everybody back and we got everybody back and we beat Pitt — so those polls to me don’t really mean anything,” Sanders said.
“Hands down [we’re the best team in the Big East], and we’ll show that this year. It is all about politics. For Pitt to get all those [first-place] votes and we got just as much back as them, it is crazy, but, like I said before, at the end of the year after we play them, they’ll regret [being the favorites]. They’ll regret it all.”
