  1. he was banged up and and protecting his shoulder or leg or something. he wasn't nearly productive in that game as he was in other games that year. he was sacked a ton, wasn't he?
  2. i find them fascinating, if for no reason than most teams in ncaa are going to passing offenses or the wildcat, while georgia tech has gone to the triple option flexbone. it's kinda fun. and demaryius thomas will probably be the most productive WR on any of the teams. it's gotta be tough to evaluate a WR coming out of this offense, but thomas is a good athlete and a big guy, and he's probably going to be a really good blocker having gotten so much practice at it. Seems like a good TE/Slot hybrid that a lot of NFL teams look for now. Obviously will never be a running TE, but could hold his own at the position and would be an obvious mismatch against almost every linebacker in the league.
  3. That's why he's such a great player at the college level. His running the game allows him to be productive as a passer, but without it he has not shown he can come close to that level. Against Georgia a few years ago when he had to be a pocket passer he was essentially useless as a passer.

  5. Tim Tebow has thrown for more than 220 yards against SEC defenses in just one game the last two years. They lost that game too.
  6. Man he's fat. It almost makes me feel sorry for him. Then he writes stuff like this.
  7. Just throwing it out there: Tebow career completion %: 64.7 Career TD:INT ratio: 73:12 He's adequate, but when you spend your career throwing passes to Percy Harvin, Louis Murphy, Andre Caldwell and Cornelius Ingram it's not hard to be that productive. I think a large part of his success is his ability to run the football and defenses in college have to respect that. I think he's a good enough athlete to make NFL defenses respect that and make his arm play better than it really is. I just don't think he'll survive long enough to be a starter. His best shot is at someone who likes the Wildcat, and may see's 10-15 snaps a game as a true wildcat type QB. You give him more snaps than that he'll probably be split in two and we'll be picking pieces of him up. He's too slow with his delivery and doesn't NFL route reads quick enough to last against NFL pass rushes as a pocket passer.
  8. Tim Tebow is one of the greatest college players ever to play the game. Certainly top ten and probably top five and maybe even number one. That doesn't mean he will be a great NFL player or anything like that. His style fits the college game perfectly, at least give him the credit he deserves. If he becomes the worst QB in the history of the NFL it won't change the fact that he was a great college player. There have been players who have been average college players who went on to be great NFL players. Success in one doesn't mean success in the other. Obviously, if you're successful in the NFL you're more likely to have been a successful player in college, not vice versa.
  9. He's still a 20 year old who made a relatively small mistake. It's not like he shot up a club or something.
  10. Very exciting for a college kid to be kicked off a team for a mistake. At least you're not excited that he's out with an injury. (He is).
  11. Which reports, I can't find anything. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=4540282
  12. yeah but 50 pts/g in the big xii is like 4 points a game in the sec, or something like that.
  13. Ryan Dempster didn't perform great until after he got lit up in April. It took awhile for his ERA to go down, but from May 1st on he was a front-half pitcher. The Cubs pitchers aren't the reason that we didn't make the playoffs. The Cubs allowed 672 runs this year, compared to 671 last season. Scoring 150 fewer runs than we did last season had more to do with it. Our pitching was fine. Bullpen included. We lost because of Alfonso Soriano and Geovany Soto - much more so than our bullpen, Aramis' injury or anything else. The #3 reason was probably Mike Fontenot. Regardless, the Cubs were in first place in August.
  14. There's no reason to cover something up. It's not going to change his draft status. Any lies will be uncovered when NFL scouts look at medical records.
  15. Im going to throw out guys like Morales, Kubel and Lind who had a great seasons, but we all knew they were capable of having seasons that good. Some guys that don't really fit under that are: Randy Wells Joel Piniero Raul Ibanez Jayson Werth
  16. I'll go out on a limb and say that Ausmus has a very successful career as a major league manager. His baseball IQ is undeniable. His real IQ isn't too bad either. I hear that Dartmouth is a pretty good school.
  17. Because some OU fans think the team should basically never lose, ever. This isn't the Eisenhower Era.
  18. Why would any OU fan want to fire Bob Stoops? It's ludicrous. Five top five finishes in ten years is good enough for any program. Not to mention three other top 11 finishes. He's had some slip ups in big games the last three or four years, but he's still as good as there is in the country.
  19. This is not really true. There's a use for it, but you have to look at all transitive paths, not just one or two. or even three or four.
  20. Not really, but ok. Last 5 games vs non-Big XII top 25 teams: 2009 20 vs #17 Miami 2009 13 vs #20 BYU 2008 14 vs #2 Florida 2008 35 vs #24 TCU 2007 28 vs #9 WVU Last 5 games vs Big XII top 25 teams: 2008 62 vs #20 Mizzou 2008 61 vs #12 Oklahoma St 2008 65 vs #2 Texas Tech 2008 45 vs #16 Kansas 2008 35 vs #5 Texas The worst against Big XII teams is the best against non-Big XII teams.
  21. man so many good gms i want, depo, ricciardi, or towers
  22. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxWFDgQyZgo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kxe8R6BhdBQ
  23. If he is, what will Gary Danielson talk about during the LSU game? or ESPN.
  24. Speaking of Moody, is he gonna break out now that Florida doesn't have a running QB.
  25. Senior. Is this the most terrible poll ever http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/andy_staples/09/29/week5-1/index.html?eref=sihpT1 TCU @ #4? I know TCU is a quality team, and probably a legitimate top 20 or so team. But ranking a mid-major at number four because of wins over an FCS team, a team with a loss to an FCS team and pedestrian 2-2 Clemson team.
