my copy of Blue Ribbon is on its way. I checked Safeway - which usually has a decent selection - they only have the pros out yet. I'll try and swing by the CVS and Barnes & Noble soon.
I know Athlon has their covers out (you can go to athlonsports.com to view them, although I'm not usually a fan of Athlon's previews). Lindy's is pretty decent, CBS Sportsline I believe still has one and I think Sporting News is good too.
I'll use this sticky thread to post any updates.

wow definitely wasnt expecting RU to be #1 and Winthrop not even in the top 2? baffles the mind. I prefer the underdog roll, but it looks like Radford might have some big expectations to meet now. Who is this Seth Curry kid?? Dell Curry's son, Stephen Curry's brother......hes getting a lot of hype because of his last name. I cant wait to see if he lives up to it.

Yeah I think even we looked @ Seth for a while. He's not as good as his brother or father, but he's a pretty darn good talent.
I'm sure as the preseason rankings keep piling in, we'll be ranked anywhere from 1-4. Although I wouldn't expect more first place predictions. I'm assuming the Big South coaches/media members will vote us to place 2nd or 3rd.
