No Respect
Name all the division I schools in the metro Atlanta area (3). Now name any of the schools that have won a national championship in basketball (1). Can we not get the AJC to even mention us in the pre season report? I am not going to knock Georgia State, UGA (an hour out of Atlanta) or Georgia Tech; more power to them, but for the AJC not to even mention us? That’s embarrassing. Kennesaw State moved to Division I last season and went 12 – 17, a respectable year for a first year division I team. We had a preseason 2005-2006 ranking of 333 out of a possible 334 teams, moved as high as 124 (during our 7 game win streak that had us #1 in the conference with a record of 9-1) and finished around 260. We were picked to finish next to last in the conference and finished 7th out of 11 teams. I remember one small article they wrote during all of last season. I know the A-Sun will never get the respect that an SEC or ACC school receives, but can we not garner the same respect as the Colonial? How does this happen? Are we such a commuter school that I’m the only one this pisses off?
