I noticed in one of the most recent articles on ETSU's website, they put the following headline..."No. 19 ETSU to be Tested at Stihl Soccer Classic". Number 19? In the official NCAA men's soccer poll found at NCAA.com, ETSU is listed as recieving votes, but not ranked. So I went to google and typed in NCAA Men's Soccer Rankings. The website that ETSU is claming they got the ranking from didn't even show up on the first page. I didn't even bother going to the next page to look for it. So are we just picking out the best ranking from random Soccer Polls to pump up our program? Seems kind of sad really. How about we just stick to the OFFICIAL NCAA Soccer rankings? Honestly I take more pride in saying we are recieving votes in the official poll, than saying we are 19th in some poll done by a God know's who. Hell, even this website has had it's own college football rankings. If NCAAbbs did a soccer poll that claimed ETSU was #8, would ETSU use that ranking on their website. Obviously I am on a slippery slope, but it just seems ridiculous to me.

Can we get an award of the month called "Pulling a Marky" ????

With the Minister's of Misinformation in charge over there, it would be fun to just make a sport out of calling them out... We'd definitely be "ranked"
