  1. What an extremely intelligent thing to do. I'm sure he won't get in any trouble because of that picture. Nice work. Problem #1 should be with the IRS. I'm sure he didn't decalre the $10K he would carrying around, so there's a felony. On the other hand, it explains why Clemson has had some good to great recruiting classes lately.
  2. Wow, must be nice to be a Davidson student. Free basketball? Sure! I'll be rooting for them against the Badgers. Badgers? We don't need no stinkin' badgers!
  3. That should be interesting, especially with Perriloux running the team as his own.
  4. Charles Woodson? Lol. I can see him being outside of the top 5 if you're going by career contributions, so I was wrong there. But I'd still put his final season up against anyone's. That's what I should have said. I won't even go so far as to say his final season was one of the Top 5. In fact, I would say that his final season wasn't even the best at UT - I would rate Ricky William's final season ahead of him. I have a feeling that you are falling into the trap of remembering the Rose Bowl as how his final year played out, when that wasn't the case.
  5. Seriously. Did anyone ever see Vince Young? Ugliest QB in major college history, but also one of the five best college players of all time. Pryor is going to be a QB. No, he wasn't one of the 5 best.
  6. Yes, because England has such lovely weather in January as it is. Not to mention that they would be alienating a major potential fanbase by skipping Chicago, New England, and New York.
  7. In terms of rankings? All I know about ESPN is that they have decent writeups of all of the commits. More than I would have expected, actually. I meant in terms of quality, maybe even accuracy. Would I be correct in valuing Scout more than ESPN (and of course Rivals more than ESPN). I don't know anything about ESPN's new recruiting team, but they rated Clemson's class No. 2 in the nation when neither Scout nor Rivals had them in the top 10, so I'm going to ignore them for the time being. All the rankings are subjective and can't be judged until 3 or even 4 years down the line. That said, Clemson signed an impressive class. Maybe not #2 overall, but top 5 IMO.
  8. My two cents: The Good Jozy looked damn good, to echo the comments of everyone else. Howard had a couple of nice saves. Neither of the goals were his fault. The Bad & The Ugly Moor & Corrales looked like crap. Actually, like they were defenders covered in crap. And they probably smelled like crap, too. Bradley should not be a starter. Feilhaber didn't do much, but he's an obviously superior player. Donovan was out of shape and not ready for the 2nd half. That's ridiculous. Adu needs to get more time. He didn't fit well in the flow of the game. The refs were even worse than Moor & Corrales. We got jobbed last night.
  9. LMAO! I think there are a few people in the state of W. Virginia who would agree with you.
  10. Red- This came from a couple of ex-players who still have VERY strong connections inside the program. They're extremely reliable and get me info 2-3 days before it normally comes out. Interestingly enough, Josh Jenkins was also a silent commit. When his d-bag asst. coach found this out, they pulled out all the stops in W. Virginia, including offering a job (conditionally, I'm sure) to his brother as a graduate assistant. I credit this one to the slimebag Doc Holliday. On the other hand, NO ONE knew where TJ Bryant was going. None of the ex-players, and certainly no one who coached at Lincoln High (my alma mater where I still keep in touch with many of the athletic staff and faculty). Should be interesting, however. SEC had a strong class in all directions, as did Clemson and Miami. As an FSU fan I'm not happy about what we'll be facing every year.
  11. Yeah....you can forget about Julio Jones. He's been a virtual lock to Alabama since the Alabama/Arkansas game. There's less then a 5% chances that Jones signs with any team not name Alabama come tomorrow. And it's even less for Robert Lester. FSU fans can forget Jones/Lester as FSU was never consider a "strong" possibility for either kid. And TJ Bryant, well the rumor around my neck of the words...if that TJ will be a surprise commit to Alabama. I don't buy the rumor, as I believe he'll end up at FSU. Which is might as well, seeing as Saban viewed both Alonzo Lawrence and Robby Green as higher priorities then Bryant. Not to burst your bubble, but Jones has visited FSU more than any other school. Lester has made several unofficial visits to FSU without anyone knowing (I have this confirmed through ex-players). All signs point to Lester going where Julio goes as a package deal. But we'll find out around noon. Well, fiddlesticks. Julio & Lester to Bama. I think FSU screwed the pooch on this one based on what I just heard. Evidently Julio was a silent to FSU as of his official visit. Lester would have come with him, but he wasn't ever shipped an official scholarship - both FSU and Lester weren't convinced that either had serious interest in the other. Due to this, Julio said I'll stay home. Doesn't hurt that his mom basically said you're staying here in Bama, either. Mom always knows best.

  13. If Zook manages to pull Harper to Illinois I'd be blown away. He visited Illinois early before any other school, but he's also visited Miami and Florida State. His scouting report: He runs a 4.35 40! I'd call that blazing speed. I can't wait until Wednesday to see what he decides. He'd get every opportunity to play right away at Illinois. That's got to be a big plus to Zook's pitch. While I would love to see Harper at FSU, IMO he's headed to Clemson. Or at least that's what I've heard from my sources at FSU.
  14. AU just lost Jarmon Fortson, however. FSU is having a big year. Great class, and several big fish still out there that we have a chance at, including Julio Jones (and possibly Robert Lester), Josh Jenkins, TJ Bryant, and Corey Liuget. This could be a class that FINALLY gets us back to the upper echelon of college football.
  15. LSU's rushing attack is better than Illinois'. Are you saying right now that UF will lose to Illinois. Just come out and say it please. You're assuming UF will win this weekend. And that's not going to happen.
  16. Correction. BC is 1-1 vs. Top 30 teams.
  17. Aside from complete homerism, what is the justification for having Florida #7? And ahead of Georgia and Auburn, for that matter. There is no reason. Just remember, this is who you are dealing with.
  18. Their bye week? They were more impressive this week than the week before losing to Miss. St. Yet for some reason that is more impressive than FSU beating BC (at BC).
  19. Comparing the discipline problems at FSU to PSU is laughable at best. You're right. Bowden has never had road rage and lashed out at citizens of Tallahassee.
  20. Am I wrong but has Penn St gone down hill in terms of quality of individual that plays football for them? You used to never here about Penn St kids getting in trouble. Now it seems they are just as bad as everyone else. I certainly dont mean this as an attack against Penn St. I may be wrong. I just remember Penn St having a reputation of being really classy. I can think of several different incidents in the last 5 or 6 years now involving Penn St players. yeah i guess there have been more, but some are overblown. Like recently there were 3 or 4 players cited for underage drinking.... well if that makes them "bad kids" then I guess a lot of us were bad apples in college. But no, I don't think you get the off-the-field problems with Penn State like you do at Miami or Florida State or Ohio State. Penn State's generally are minor and alcohol-related... you don't commonly hear about theft or fraud or assault, though this is an exception. I guess the bottom line is, if you're trying to put together a team of perfect kids, your team is going to suck. To compete on the national level you're going to have to take some chances, and maybe you'll get burned. As for Austin Scott, without passing judgment on the recent incident, he's been an incredible waste of talent. He came to school as one of the most highly-touted RBs to enroll here, and he was definitely more talented physically than Tony Hunt - but Hunt started ahead of Scott each year. It's been rumored that Scott parties a lot and has a poor work ethic in practice and in the weight room, which would explain why he's been in Joe's doghouse for 4+ years. Regardless of whether he is guilty of what he's accused of, there's no excuse for being up at 4 AM when you have a game in 36 hours. Step down from your high horse. Whether it's PSU, OSU, USC, Texas, UF, UNC, etc. there are problems. And they are just as serious as one institution as they are at any other. It comes down to who can keep it mostly under wraps, and who can't.

I can think of several different incidents in the last 5 or 6 years now involving Penn St players. I would love to say it's a PSU problem, but it's everywhere these days. The kids think they're entitled to whatever they desire and that their crap doesn't stink, so they try to take it. I do believe that some schools are better about covering it up and working with local authorities to ensure problems are "solved" quickly and without much notoriety (see Tony Joiner and UF).
  22. Wow, did we (FSU) look bad the 1st half. 2nd half wasn't too bad, but man, we have a ways to go. This year could be ugly.
  23. That's funny. I posted this exact same sentiment yesterday on another site. I really like the style with which the kids play and how aggressive they are.
  24. Seitz was outstanding. Altidore is a star in the making. Solid games by Adu, Rogers, and Sturgis. Adu got hammered quite a few times. He's going to need to put on some weight and get some more international experience before he'll be able to play for the USMNT. I'm rather impressed with the keepers that are "on the farm." Guzan played well last night, and Seitz is pretty solid. Seitz made some mistakes, but he was very good overall. Nice to see a solid game (and win) against a power.
  25. Altidore is the best player on the field tonight. I would say that Jo isn't too far behind. Pato has been shut down pretty well by our back line - so far.
