    SoCon Coaches Tab ASU as Favorite

    SoCon Football Coaches Tab Appalachian State as Favorite
    Mountaineers look to win fifth consecutive SoCon football title

    SPARTANBURG, S.C. – The Southern Conference football coaches have unanimously selected Appalachian State as the preseason favorite to win the league crown in 2009.

    ASU, winners of four consecutive SoCon crowns including a shared title with Wofford in 2007, received eight first-place votes in the balloting, the maximum number allowed as coaches were not allowed to vote for their own team. The Mountaineers return 18 starters this season, including seven on offense and 9-of-11 on defense.

    Interesting to see that Coach Moore thought GASo was his choice for #1 over Elon with what they have returning....

    gsu was the toughest conference game we played last year. its not hard to see why moore voted that way. hatcher seems to have a pretty good grasp of how to prep for us.

    Just like everyone else. You can guess #1 and #9 and be pretty certain. #2 though #8 will be a crap shoot.

    Would go with 2-7 for that. Believe 8 and 9 are set. WCU should improve, just not quite yet I don't believe. Everyone else is somewhat stable from last year.

    True. I am one of those that thinks WCU will pull an upset over someone this year. With so many tough conference games on the slate for every team, I wouldn't be shocked to see WCU trap a team that's looking on towards next week or exhausted coming off an emotional game the week before.

    Either way, if they play in the conference the way they played us in Greenville last year, they'll beat a few teams.
    FU all the time.

    Apparently Moore thinks more of Ga Southern than the rest of the coaches. I assume they got his first place vote.

    Who did Moore vote for last year? Either Wofford or Elon?
