    2006 Gateway Preseason Poll

    Team (first-place votes)... Points
    1. UNI (22) ... 239
    2. Youngstown State (7)... 208
    3. Illinois State (2)... 190
    4. Southern Illinois ... 160
    5. Western Kentucky (1)... 141

    The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

    Interesting to note that there area only 3 juniors on the Offensive team, and we have 2 of them! (the other is a kicker...)

      That is pretty impressive. Usually the pre-season and post-season all-conference teams are senior dominated by guys that have been playing multiple years. Congrats

        Those are some pretty close numbers at the top. I think SIU was well ahead of everyone in last years pre-season poll.

        The target is now officially on the backs of the Panthers!!!

          I think we all knew it would be. I try not to put any stock in these polls, and I'm not sure it makes any difference once everyone is between the lines.

          The surprise, IMHO, is only 2 first place votes for Illinois State. I really thought more people would buy into them in the pre-season.

          This is going to be another wide-open year in the Gateway.

            As long as Denver Johnson is the head coach at Illinois State, they will always underachieve. He's the Ron Zook of the Gateway.

              not sure if anyone noticed this...but with 32 points in the poll, that means all 32 people picked the 'Smores to finish dead last....not even a shred of hope. lets all be happy we aren't one month away from a season like that....

                You can listen to some interviews from the press conferences. Coach Farley, Eric Sanders, and Matt Tharp.

                  Don't know if anybody saw this but UNI was the second or third story 2 nights ago on WHO-TV 13 news, we had the longest segment by far with interviews with farley, and then about a 2 min interview with THE Eric sanders, and boy does he look good, though the background was the old uni, i Was hoping to get a good look at it.
                  Oh, and let me make this perfectly clear to you people: you go to UNI, NOT IOWA. The Hawkeyes and their fans do not give a crap if you remain "true to them" or some stupid self-fulfulling bullcrap like that.-OTP


                  What i say are my opinions and mine alone, and not that of anyone associated with me.

                    KCCI had interviews as well. The Des Moines market is trying to include UNI news when they can.
