The SoCon Coaches have spoken- and you have to like what they said if you are a Mocs fan. The Mocs were the favorite to the win the North, with Appalachian State second, Western Carolina third, UNC-Greensboro fourth, Elon fifth, and Samford was last. Omar Wattad and Keegan Bell were pegged for the All-SoCon team. This is all really positive stuff for the Mocs.
We all know that preseason predictions mean next to nothing, but still, this puts a little bit of extra pressure on the Mocs this year. That may not be such a bad thing. With expectations comes the bullseye, and the Mocs I think are ready to wear that bullseye.
We'll find out in two and a half weeks when the Mocs head to Bloomington. I'm ready....
