2008-09 Newcomers

Voting has closed on our latest "You Make the Call" poll. It saw an incredible 480 votes casts, which either is a testament to the overwhelming popularity of SimmonsField.com (unlikely) or is testament to the usual ballot box stuffing that goes on with Internet polls. The unscientific nature of the poll should be evident by the fact that a player who not only is NOT a newcomer but is not even on the team any more somehow made his way onto the ballot but also garnered a respectable 12 votes.

Anyway, Ryan Gebhart pulled away from the pack convincingly with 34% of the vote. His family must be proud (and computer literate).

I intend in the near future to post further information about these newcomers, since it has been pointed out to me that I never transferred nay of that information from the old location of SimmonsField.com. Until I get that done, you can read my previous posts about these "2008 Recruits" at this link.

  1. I agree that the poll is more a reflection of "friends and family". As you mention, at least one on the list is no longer on the roster and it is a near certainty that one or two others will red-shirt. But it seems that Liberto and/or Mach have the best chance of starting and they received their share of votes. Good job, moms and dads.
