    Kentucky vs Kansas..

    They do look terrible, but don't write KU off as a bad opponent. The Jayhawks have a ton of talent only it is very young and they make a lot of freshman mistakes. They turned the ball over 25+ times against Zona earlier this year and kept it within 7 points until the final minute when Zona...

    Random thoughts on Rose Bowl

    I have heard that before, right??? Maybe the PAC-10 should actually start playing the regular season like a real conference.

    Can / will Fulmer turn it around...

    Well, Pete Carroll had USC talent and couldn't win the National Title. Fulmer didn't have USC talent and won 5 games.

    Can / will Fulmer turn it around...

    Are you kidding me, Fulmer's "elevator" can't go any further down than it did this year. Meanwhile, Richt is coming off the SEC Championship and Shula is coming off a 10-2 season, in which his team flirted with perfection. Both these coaches lose their star signal callers, and neither...

    Breakdown of next year

    Our strength in 2006 will be our rushing game. For all the talk about Cutcliffe and QBs, as an offensive coordinator he could force the ball down other teams throats. With Ainge or Crompton, we will focus on the run, probably 40 to 50 runs per game with the load being shared by Foster and...

    2006 Top 25

    I see 9 gimmes in that schedule CAL didn't beat anyone this year. Look at their cake schedule and see for yourself. They will be better next year than they were this year, but that isn't saying much. AF lost to Army, Navy, and BYU this past year, along with everyone else. A tune up...

    2006 Top 25

    That is a BIG if. Also, Santonio Holmes should be gone, allowing teams to focus on stopping Ginn. Penn State should once again be the team to beat in the Big 10, especially if Pozluski stays around for one more year. In the Pac 10, USC will finally be unseated. I thought it would be UCLA...

    Vince Young

    Are you seriously considering Kwame Brown to Vince Young??? Brown was a high school stud, thats it. Vince Young just led Texas to an undefeated National Championship in D-1. Someone said that on this board that Young looks good against crappy defenses...he looked stellar against Ohio State...

    2005 UCS v 2001 MIAMI

    First, ESPN didn't use '04 USC because they didn't have to face Auburn. Second, if I was Houston, I would trade for a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd round pick (probably could get the #3's in those rounds) and draft offensive linemen. Bush isn't going to look any better than Dominic...

    2005 UCS v 2001 MIAMI

    How about 2005 USC vs. 2005 Texas! ESPN making those comparisons between this USC team and '01 Miami, '95 Nebraska, etc. just made this night that much sweeter! On a side note, if I was an NFL team with a top 5 pick, I would rather have Young than Bush.

    NFL top 5 picks

    The Texans should definitely trade. They need solid O linemen, not another stud skill position player. Reggie Bush would look better than D. Davis back there, but not game changing better. I could definitely see the Saints trading not only that #2 pick but probably also their 3rd round pick...

    Larry Johnson

    I would have to disagree with your assertion that Rudi Johnson has been one of the keys to the Bengal's turnaround. They did have Corey Dillon prior to that...all he did was consistently rush for 1,500 yards a season.

    Larry Johnson

    I am not saying he should win, but he should at least be in the running. He started only 9 games this year and rushed for over 1,700 yards! He had 10 100 yard games, 2 200 yard games, and finished 1st in the AFC in rushing yards, 3rd in the NFL, and averaged 5.2 yards per carry. He also...

    Careful what you wish for...

    Careful what you wish for...

    The Patriots will have home field advantage against the Jaguars in the wild card round, and then they will take trip to Indy. I have a funny feeling that the bandwagon Colts fans (i.e. 1998 and on) are going to have to find another excuse as to why they can't beat the Patriots in the...
