Barry Bonds was good? I had no idea. Thanks for telling me that a 40/40 player was good. Alfonso Soriano is good too, I take it. Good thing, I was worried.

Very good one. There ought to be a pretty good quarterback battle this spring between Jordan Jefferson and incoming Russell Shepard. He's arguably the best pure dual threat QB prospect to come out of the South since Vincent Young. The two remind me a lot of each other. He runs a legit 4.4 as a QB presently, and has good feel for the passing game. Most recruiting sites say he's a bigger playmaker running the ball than Pryor and much further along in the passing game. Missing out on Debose hurts, the Tigers still lack a big playmaker down the field in the passing game.

So Percy Harvin was playing on Thursday with a high ankle sprain and a hairline fractured leg. Ouch. anyways: Gator DC Charlie Strong expects MLB Brandon Spikes to return for his senior year. Percey Harvin is leaning towards coming back for his senior season: "I’m leaning towards coming back, but I haven’t made the final decision yet" If all three come back, the Gators are going to be loaded.

No, but it's a lot higher than 44%. And I went 10-1 on picks where we differed. 10 and 1.

i like my chances.

tell that to al gore.

ole miss is NOT on tim tebow's schedule.... i think usc loses to Ohio State

Sorry Bears fans, Tim Tebow won't be at the helm next season.

Tis official. You guys have another year of Tim Tebow to look forward to. His holiness shall baptize you in swamp water. http://www.usatoday.com/sports/college/football/sec/2009-01-11-florida-tebow_N.htm GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Florida quarterback Tim Tebow announced at Sunday's national championship celebration he will return for his senior season. After accepting the award as the BCS championship offensive MVP, Tebow started to walk off the stage at the Gators's stadium known as The Swamp. Then he turned and said: "Oh, by the way, one more thing, let's do it again. I'm coming back.'" http://i.cdn.turner.com/si/2009/football/ncaa/01/11/tebow.returning/Tim-Tebow.chomp.jpg

maybe his wiry ass will think it's 2005 again. what's he had in his career? shoulder, tj and everything else?

you listed 19 years, not 18 years.

Because almost all road games in every conference in America are out of state. This really isn't true. Pretty much half the ACC plays in the carolinas. Half the Big XII plays in Texas. Half the Pac 10 plays in California. Half the MAC plays in Ohio. And really in the other areas, Texas A&M and Texas Tech, for instance get tagged in the same state. That distance is roughly the same drive as, say, Michigan to Ohio State twice. Really the fact that there is or is not a border between them doesn't matter. Florida plays as many out of state games as any non Big Ten schools does.

Fine, no one mentions that all of their road games in the conference are out of the state. In fact, let's look at the total number of games played out of state since 1990 by five of the biggest programs: 108 Ohio State 96 Michigan 83 Southern Cal 81 Florida 54 Texas In fact the only reason that Michigan's ahead of USC and UF are that a lot of the former two school's bowl games are in state. Now let's look at winning percentage. 72% Florida 68% Ohio State 67% Michigan 67% Texas 61% Southern Cal

Florida needs eight home games a year in order to sustain their program. The football program is basically what funds their entire sports program. They get more money for home games, obviously, and the Florida St game alternates with whether or not they "lose" a home game in the SEC schedule for the Cocktail party. They were able to travel to Miami a few years back (and go to Miami in 2013) because of the extra week of football allowed in those seasons. I believe they have a home and home with USF in 2012 and 2011. I'm not exactly sure of your point. Well I am sure of it, and it is stupid. As I said before location of a game hardly matters and a road game in Tallahassee is going to be no different than a road game in Los Angeles, provided the two teams are similar that year. That being said your only point has to be that they're pussies and don't schedule tough OOC games. They play the SEC schedule every year. They play Florida State every year, who was top 5 for like an eternity before the last few years. The other two or three games aren't much, but hey considering the rest of the schedule it's fine. They have problems attracting tougher matchups because elite teams only like to schedule home and homes. Florida's AD says they'd lose too much money to go on the road more than they already do. This thing is blown to the point of stupidity. A team that's good that goes on the road for tough OOC games as much as most good programs might go to a tough out of state one once every third year. Most good programs have rivals who are ONLY in their conference. Two of Florida's biggest traditional rivals, Miami and Florida State are not in the same conference but are in the same state. Most teams who have rivals outside their conference only play tough non-conference games against their rivals. The other ones are usually cupcakes. Teams like Oklahoma, Ohio State and others don't have traditional power house rivals outside their conference, so they schedule a home and home with a good program. That's exactly what Florida does. In reality, this "difference" in scheduling is maybe four or five games over the course of the last 20 years. Pretty much nothing considering that's four or five out of nearly two hundred and forty. And if you think that because of this Florida plays a crap schedule. Um, no. Sagarin ranking of their schedule in the BCS era. 1998 $47 1999 #12 2000 #27 2001 #23 2002 #9 2003 #7 2004 #57 2005 #40 2006 #8 2007 #3 2008 #4 And on average the toughest schedules in america in the BCS era 1. 77.18 Stanford 2. 76.98 Washington 3. 76.95 Southern Cal 4. 76.88 UCLA 5. 76.50 Florida State 6. 76.31 Colorado 7. 75.94 Notre Dame 8. 75.89 Michigan 9. 75.86 North Carolina 10. 75.79 Florida

No, the logical move would be to trade for Jake Peavy and sign Beimel to be the LOOGY and shoot Neil Cotts. ...

um he runs "traditional" routes. 95% of his catches during his career are when he's lined up as a receiver. Of those, only like 10% are screens, the rest are real routes.

putting words in your mouth is what nsbb does.

There is nothing wrong with putting Oklahoma at number 2. You don't have to drop a team because they lost. It's stupid.

He is even smaller than Bush so like you said he's in that category, but not as good Bush was listed at 6-0, 200 when he came out of USC. Pervin is 5-11, 195 -- not a huge difference. I also think Pervin is a lot stronger than Bush. Really? I feel like Bush would easily out muscle him Not that bench press necessarily translates to the field, but Harvin benches 405 pounds. Harvins pretty strong. I think he'll play both at the next level and he's every bit as talented and as good as Bush is, on a per play basis. I just doubt he's able to stay healthy.

FWIW 7.72 yards per rush - Reggie Bush 9.54 yards per rush - Percy Harvin 12.34 yards per reception - Reggie Bush 14.51 yards per reception - Percy Harvin

unfortunately i cant attack your post because its only going to embarrass you.
