Re: MVC Media Day
Another example of sloppy journalism.Originally posted by boilershock
"The Shockers received 33 of 39 first-place votes in a poll conducted by league coaches, media, and sports information directors. UNI earned 382 out of a possible 390 points and outdistanced Missouri State, which received one first-place tally and 313 total points."
Probably a case of last year's announcement being cut and pasted into this years. Great piece of writing technique."I not sure that I've ever been around a more competitive player or young man than Fred VanVleet. I like to win more than 99.9% of the people in this world, but he may top me." -- Gregg Marshall 12/23/13 :peaceful:

Not sloppy journalism -- sloppy public relations. If a newspaper takes that and runs it verbatim, then it becomes sloppy journalism.“The rebellion on the populist right against the results of the 2020 election was partly a cynical, knowing effort by political operators and their hype men in the media to steal an election or at least get rich trying. But it was also the tragic consequence of the informational malnourishment so badly afflicting the nation. ... Americans gorge themselves daily on empty informational calories, indulging their sugar fixes of self-affirming half-truths and even outright lies.'”

382 out of a possible 390. Pretty close to unanimous.
The target is now firmly in place the backs of the Shocks.

I want to know who the 6 idiots were who didn't put WSU #1.Comment

I wonder about the Bradley pick.
They have one all conference player as well as two honorable mentions and get picked fifth place in the conference. That is more picks than any other team.
On the face of it, that sounds a little low.Comment

Correct me if I am wrong, but the in politically correct world of the MVC, I don't think you can vote for your team, so I will speculate that the people for WSU had to vote for someone else.
Does anyone know this for sure?Comment

At the end of the article:
Pollsters have accurately predicted the league's regular-season champ only 12 times out of 26 since 1985-86, but the pre-season favorite Shockers can take solace in that 23 of those 26 predicted champs have gone on to post-season play, with 16 of those 23 playing in the NCAAs.Comment

2 votes for Bradley??
Evidently Tornado gets a vote and somehow got User1 to get one, too.
Hey, Garrett, do you notice something missing in the all-league selections? No worries, there's a whole season to show the media they should show a bit more respect.The future's so bright - I gotta wear shades.
