It was not unanimous for us, I'd love to know who the one dissenting voter was.
Singler unanimous 1st team choice, Nolan on team as well. Singler POY - http://bluedevilnation.net/2010/10/d...c-singler-poy/
Nolan Smith audio from ACC Op BB - http://bluedevilnation.net/2010/10/a...coming-season/
Coach K from ACC Operation BB. Maybe a mod should change the title to ACC Op BB for many posts to come - http://bluedevilnation.net/2010/10/a...o-part-1-of-5/
I asked K about twitter and he had a lot to say and basically trusts his players. That will come shortly.

61 of a possible 62 first-place votes. Who didn't vote for Duke?

“It was an honest mistake,” Miles said.
Those foreign Dukies invading NC, as always... :rolleyes:Quote:
"They had to be a North Carolina graduate that hates Duke – that’s all I can tell you,’’ Tar Heels coach Roy Williams said, joking at the poll results. “I’m always pulling for the American against the guy from a foreign country, regardless of who it is – that had to be that situation, there."
I'm not sure how one makes this mistake. You actually have to write in the name of each team in vertical slots numbered 1 through 12. You've really got to be not paying attention here.Quote:

Or... and this is my evil cynical side coming out... he meant to vote for UNC expecting some others to join him, then when the poll came out and he saw he was the lone wolf, he had to come up with a cover story to save face???Quote:

Is the rest of the ACC really so bad that unc-ch is third? I am going to be a skeptic until I see something other than NIT runner-up.
If I remember correctly, a journalist was chided into re-casting his vote for ACC POY to make Hansbrough the unanimous selection...
Does Ole Roy support justice?
Really? I never heard about that. I'm curious; who did the journalist picked instead?Quote:
