I'm no Napier nut hugger at all, but the lion's share of our best talent is underclassmen. And they guys that could have gone pro and been high round picks, like Caleb Banks, decided to return and help to try and continue to create upward trajectory and momentum for the program. This is the "prove it" year for Napier, no doubt, but the program showed signs of life in the second half of the season. They're talented and need to take the next step.

Shadeur is a 4th rounder with any different last name.

He might be a 4th rounder with his own last name at this rate. :lol:

Ben Hill Griffin StadiumGainesville, FL (rivalry) LOL, Florida State. Provided Norbert is still there, we smack him again.

9-3 is my pick, but it could EASILY go south and unravel big time. But I'll give SlingBilly the benefit of the doubt that he's turned the corner, hopefully he doesn't prove me dead wrong.

Bizarre thread, my word. Football can't get here fast enough. :lol:

in the "3 and 3 Club" (At least three National Championships in the two major revenue sports)

Michigan and Ohio State both have football squared away and a Natty in basketball a piece, but I have a somewhat hard time believing either will be winning multiple b-ball natty's in the near future, although Dusty May is a hell of coach.

My only pick is actually Texas. Even though they haven't won one yet, they've come close. And they have the financial muscle and infrastructure to build it there. The right coach, the ACTUAL right coach, could win 3 basketball National Championships at Texas in relatively short order.

I think he is what he generally has always been, a solid coach. He'll win between 9 and 11 games, sometimes make a more substantial run, but almost certainly will never win it all. But to answer your question, yes, I think he's a significant upgrade over Orgeron, despite the National Championship.

Why do you like skinnyfat white boys named Chandler be "safe at home"? :lol:

"Ball four!" *Does weird dance probably* *Soccer mom in the stands* "Good eye, Chandler! Good eye!"

I can't even fathom how much that would suck, nothing but pain and misery.

My god, it's terrible. :lol:

At least I get to enjoy my Gators winning a Natty, but this wait for football will be BRUTAL.
