Tar Heels voted as 1st ever unanimous preseason No. 1 in AP poll

finsgirlieLuxury BoxOPThat's right kids...read it and weap!
As if there weren't enough expectations for North Carolina this season, they just got bigger.
Not only are the Tar Heels No. 1 in The Associated Press' preseason Top 25, they are the first unanimous No. 1 since the preseason poll began in 1981-82.
North Carolina has the top six scorers -- including national player of the year Tyler Hansbrough -- back from a team that had a school-record 36 wins and reached the Final Four.
The Tar Heels, No. 1 in the final poll last season, are the preseason No. 1 for the second straight year, joining UNLV in 1989-90 and 1990-91 as the only schools to do that. It also marks North Carolina's record sixth time atop the preseason rankings, breaking a tie with Duke.

Yes, Tyler is going to be out for 2 weeks due to a shin injury....but that's 2 weeks PRESEASON. He will be back in action for the start of the season, then there's no looking back.

Yea, along with 20+ other stories.
This particular story isn't even the "biggest" UNC story on the front page of espn's college basketball site.

:lol: touchy much?
I doubt they finish number 1.:tongue2:
finsgirlieLuxury Boxgee, sorry about that
You're right, the first two stories on the page are BOTH tarheels...
And obviously it's not the biggest. The story about Tylers shin was posted an hour after this story was.
Don't come in here and dog the team is all i'm saying. It's very antagonistic.
I shouldn't have to explain myself anyhow, this is the first team EVER to do something, it's worthy of a post, it doesn't need to be approved by you, so lay off.

The team has done nothing, it is the first time the VOTERS have ever come together unanimously in the preseason.

o-m-g. You're so right Stitches. The team itself had NOTHING to do with it. They didn't recruit properly...they didn't play well last year, it's just a fluke. You're so right. Let me make you a crown for your rightness. Sorry your mighty rightness.

Doesn't matter if you are in the top ten in the AP, only matters where you finish in the tourney.

BuckeyeKingNew MemberYeah frankly pre-season polls mean nothing. Its the final rankings that mean everything.
finsgirlieLuxury Boxthe article was not about the tarheels BEING #1 (only part of the article goes into it) the whole point is that they were the first team since AP polls were put into place to be voted #1 unanimously....please stick to that point as topic and get off the sentiments that it was posted for the sake of them being # 1 in pre-season polls.

you replied 5 mins after it was posted, and frankly, you need not reply to everything, especially if you only plan to be antagonistic. it's very rude.

Why did you put "read it and weap" if it was only a general post about a team for once being unanimously #1 in a preseason poll?
