Is there a specific reason why Kenny Bell fell so much? Some of the other movements (TR, Ford, Wooten) make sense because they have performed very well so far, but Bell falling out of the 250 seems a little strange to me.

Yeah, I think that Brees is pretty much a lock at QB. Bush should make it at least as the NFC return specialist. Vilma has been very good, and I can see him making it in the Pro Bowl as a reserve. Also, Charles Grant could make it at DE if he continues his recent form.
I think that we may also be taking a look at Evan Points at Him. He is just destroying the competition in Wyoming with his 5.8 40 time. :lol:

A Clockwork Orange was an excellent film, but it would have been even better if it had followed the ending of the book.

I would change Layer Cake, so the nameless main character (Daniel Craig) doesn't get shot at the end and basically fulfills all of his goals, as he expected. :pimp:

Yeah, I think that the first few episodes are always better than the later shows because the guys are so clueless in social situations at first. The 40-year old virgin who tried to pick up a girl by asking about Hurricane Katrina is a famous example. :banghead:

It's also a fun show to watch for anyone who has read The Game by Neil Strauss. Mystery is the second most important person in the book other than Strauss himself, so it's kind of cool to get to see him in action.

Still, I can't imagine he would do too well in the college bar scene here in Baton Rouge or any other Southern college town.

Damn, I guess no one else thinks that Shep is going to play at Texas Southern. If we lose another game this season, I'll be sure to bring it up again. I hope someone in complete meltdown mode will fall for it. :lol:

I don't think so. He makes $1.5-2 million a year, and he only has to play 55 games every season. He is a top player in Europe, and when players like Maceo Baston, Anthony Parker, or Sarunas Jasikevicious have returned to the NBA after starring in Europe they haven't had a great deal of success.

I bet he'll play three or four more years in Europe and retire.

Yeah, I think he is still playing for CSKA Moscow. After leaving the NBA, he became really successful in Europe, playing first in Itlay and Turkey and then in Russia. I think he was the Euroleague MVP a couple of years ago, and became one of the first players to command over a $1 million a year.

If Lacy commits to Bama, I can only imagine how much people are going to freak out over the Saban pipeline into Lousiana.:banghead:

OT: Prominentwon, what is your avatar from? I've been trying to figure it out for the past few days, but I haven't come up with anything.

I have a really uneasy feeling about all of our potential recruits after the Florida loss. Losses are so rare in college football these days, so I think it is going to scare off a lot of our out-of-state recruits.

I've been hearing that Bostic and Debose are going to UF. Wooten is going to decommit and go to UGA, along with Marlon Brown. Sentimore is going to stay a solid Tide commit, and RR is 50-50 between Miami and Bama. McFarland is going to Oklahoma, Campbell is going to Michigan, and CM is going to Texas A&M (they all want to play for teams that win), and Loston will go to South Carolina.

I also think that Shep may decommit and play at Texas Southern because Bobby Reid has really enjoyed his time there. Also Smash Williams decided to go to Whitmore instead of waiting on TMU to give him a second scholarship, so the HBCs have really improved their recruiting efforts the past year. I think our stellar class may be really falling apart.

Damn, Chris Faulk is now #42, which should help us out in the rankings. TR is now #7, after some really big performances.
I think I read it on one of the IMDB message boards. I looked around to see if I could find it, but I came up with nothing a minute ago. For all I know, it could just be speculation at this point.

The one problem that I have with the show is that they eliminate the weakest player. If Mystery is as good as he claims, they should be keeping the weakest players in the game, so we can see a real transformation. Ideally, there would be no eliminations, and the winner would just be the guy who made the most improvement.

I guess they do the eliminations in order to help with ratings, but I think PUA can succeed without the gimmick of eliminations. Juggler did a show without eliminations on a British channel, and it worked.

Does anyone else think that Matador is going to end up on a BALCO subpoena 2 years from now? Dude has gained a lot of muscle since last season :lol:

Does anyone else remember when VH-1 used to show music videos on 90% of their programming?

At the current rate, it looks like 90% of their shows are going to be spin-offs of Flavor/Rock of Love. Not that I am complaining. :lol:

I heard Midget Mac is getting a spin-off as well. That show seems like a bit of a stretch, but the spin-offs have a great track record so far.
I thought that Muschamp was lured to Texas because he was given an offer that resembled Jimbo's contract with FSU. Basically when Mack retires, Muschamp will be the new coach.

Is this wrong?

re: MICHIGAN LOSES TO ...TOLEDO?!

Posted by Trajan Langdon on 10/11/08 at 3:54 pm
Michigan is horrible this year. Their workhorse RB for the past 3 years is gone, their top 3 wideouts are gone, their star QB is gone and his successor transferred when Rich Rod came aboard, and three of their O-linemen, including Jake Long, are gone. This was going to be a bad season regardless of who was the head coach.

However, the hiring of Rich Rod pretty much guaranteed that Mallet and Mario Manningham were going to leave the program, so the cupboard became even emptier.

They have looked bad so far, but I didn't expect them to drop a game against Toledo. They look horrible and haven't even gotten to the meat of their Big 10 schedule. Still, I think that Rich Rod will do a good job once he brings his own players into the program. Threet sucks, and I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Beaver or Forcier starting next year.

I bet there will be freshmen and sophomores all over the offense next year.

Alright, take 2.

You are accusing me of being ignorant about a situation that you are also completely ignorant about.

Dude, that doesn't even make sense. You are accusing me of being ignorant of a situation, but it's not like you have any additional information either :lol:

I am sure McCoy is a great leader, and I was very impressed with his play today, but if the Heisman is supposed to go to the best player in football, a team's record should not be a deciding factor.

Except for the litte fact that McCoy's team won and Bradford's team lost. By 10pts.


A lot of voters think like you, and that's why the Heisman Trophy has become increasingly irrelevant. It is now just an award for QBs on 10-win teams. McCoy and Bradford were both damn good today, but it doesn't make sense to say that McCoy was better because his team won. There are many factors for both of the teams other than the QBs.

I didn't see McCoy out there tackling Oklahoma running backs, limiting them to 48 yards.
