Brian Wardle in his office right now with the door locked, desperately trying to find a way to spin this into disrespect. Yeah, I can bet this is uncomfortable for him. It’s a validation of the work he’s done in a lot of ways, but of course it doesn’t mean much for the season ahead, and it’s a new type of pressure for him and the program as a whole.
This Prove ‘Em’ slogan is a clear indication of the awkward spot they find themselves in. Prove the 45 voters that picked you 1st right?
It's all about the three that DIDN'T pick them first.

As I mentioned to one of our esteemed posters, it's really quite brilliant. Prove them right? Prove them wrong? You can use it either way on game by game, week by week basis.

He's already kind of going with "It doesn't mean anything in terms of wins and losses"

If you can't vote for yourself, then did we get 100% of the vote?

I, for one, look forward to the annual tradition of preseason #2 Ben Jacobsen coming into Carver and crapping his pants.

I've never seen a preseason ballot with us #1. Go out and get it boys!! Need at least a couple sophs or unknowns to step up.
Congrats to Duke & Darius on 1st Team honors, well deserved! I expect to see at least one Newcomer and one Most Improved by year's end as well.
Congrats to Zek, too, and welcome back! I really think people are expecting too much from him, but that's OK. With the state of the Valley he probably belongs somewhere on the preseason teams, but it feels like people are expecting him to be Connor+
