Once again SEC overwhelms in draft!

Yeah, they had some huge numbers, as always. But if you look at the # drafted relative to the number of schools in conferences, the SEC is third, behind the Big East (1st) and PAC-10 (2nd).

Given the level of talent in the SEC, this is the way it should be.

you sound like someone from Louisiana talking about how well our players do in the NFL when using per capita instead of totals!

i think these kinda threads really are tangerine bait.

and USC had 11 guys drafted, so 30% of the Pac-10's players came from one school.

I wonder if the LSU counted for the SEC when LSU had four 1st rounders and others drafted a couple years back.

Which just goes to prove that there is plenty of talent all over the map. Anyone who thinks we're going to waltz up to Washington and win on name alone is sorely mistaken. The Huskies have a big time qb and the trojan oc as their new coach. Anything less than A game could spell disaster for LSU. You should never open the season to a home dog.

That's a rather odd comment. I mean, anyone who thinks that Lyle Hitt is 9 1/2 feet tall would be sorely mistaken, too; but since no one has ever thought that, either, it makes about as little sense to mention it as people thinking we'll beat Washington "on name alone."

We are clearly better than usual Pac 10 teams; that's why we haven't lost to a Pac 10 team since the Carter Administration. And there is no reason for anyone to believe that this year's game against Washington will have any different result than the last 9 times we've played Pac 10 teams. That does not mean it will necessarily be easy like the last time we played Arizona or SC, and it does not mean it will necessarily be hard like the last time we played Arizona State or Oregon State.

But however we win, no one would ever think we would win that game (or any other game) "on name alone." That is why we pay coaches lots and lots of money to make sure we don't play games "on name alone."

Gawd damn, it's always a USC plebian that tries to make a case against the SEC.

It won't happen, but I hope your cheatin' arse football program gets close to making a Bowl vs a top tier SEC team this season.

You keep your fancy math out of this forum

thick and thin. why would any sports fan refer to a conference as great as the big 12 as the little 12. why so angry ? Is it necessary for you to destroy the big 12 for reasons of building up the image of the sec. not necessary, and your post is foolish and rediculous. ah I've got it "envy"
