[QUOTE="GTpdm, post: 68974, member: 1451"] But the point is, no one else in our division "finished strong" last year, as far as [U]conference standing[/U] (and that's what this thread is about) is concerned—except Duke, of all teams. We ended tied in conference record among all the 2nd-place teams. It's also pretty clear that that Duke's unusual success was a combination of good fortune and the outright self-destruction by the other "chosen" teams in the division. Again I ask, why is [U]our[/U][I] [/I]ugly season less deserving of respect than the other teams that were the chosen ones? If anything, they deserve [U]less [/U]respect than we do, because they underperformed last season whereas we once again beat expectations. You can't point to how "mediocre" we were last season as a reason for being chosen to be in the bottom of the division, without acknowledging the equal mediocrity of the teams who only backed into their into marginally higher final positions, while [U]not[/U] meeting media expectations. (Oooh, look at UNC! Division champions once again!) [B]WTH do I expect?[/B] I expect the media idiots who repeatedly overlook our chances to continually do the same. But I have to scratch my head to figure out why a Tech fan would want to defend their perpetually incorrect assumptions. We may not be a powerhouse in the conference right now, but we are closer to being a conference leader than we are to the bottom-feeders the media always expects us to be. [/QUOTE]
