So because he got Arkansas preview wrong, he's a shitty columnist


You need to check your reading comprehension. I didn't say anything about his preview for Arkansas being wrong. I said he spent way too much focus and space on talking about irrelevant facts of the past and talked very little about what was actually to come in the coming season.

Here's another example of my gripe with Steele's "preview":

quote:

Here's Steele's first sentence under the Ole Miss "quarterbacks" section. Remember, this is supposed to be a preview of the 2011 college football season: "Eli Manning (PS#12) set or tied 47 school records and departed after the '03 ssn (#1DC) and later guided the NYG to a Super Bowl win."

I paid for a preview of 2011! Not to read Eli Manning's wikipedia page for fricks sakes.



Also, he uses so many damn abbreviations that it's like reading another fricking language. I have to keep my finger on the page with the abbreviation chart if I want to ensure I understand everything he's saying.

If he cut out all the shite about anything that happened before 2009 he'd save a hell a lot of space, not have to use so many damn abbreviations, and could have room for more relevant data.

Bingo. It is easy to say you have the most information when 90% of the info is copied and pasted off of old stat sheets.
