fsu baby..all the way
im a canes fan, though i have to say im skeptical of the no.6 preseason rating. Damn Coker cant recruit like Butch Davis.
you're right, coker just can't bring as much big time talent that past cane coaches have but they could win the acc this year and they should be awesome on defense.Quote:

There are some skeptical picks in the top 15 in the majority of the preseason polls, but hey, that's what they are. When I do my picking with my friends all they are, are projections of what SHOULD happen.
Maybe a few of us should put our top 25 up with some reasons why .... it'd be interesting
good idea. how about my top 5 to start 1) southern cal - who else is better? 2)tennesse - 16 starters back but @ lsu and @ florida. 3) lsu - all starters back on offense but qb + tough defense. 4) oklahoma - very very talented team but too young right now, next years #1 and the year after that. 5) texas - most people have them #2 but i think they are overrated as usual. losing benson and d. johnson will hurt + a 1 demensional qb that teams with speed on defense can contain.Quote:

Go Longhorns!!!!!!
Even though they lost..I still think Ohio State is awesome!
i am very impressed after watching the ohio state game. anybody that goes to columbus and wins is a very good football team. they still have to beat a&m + tech wich they should but you never know with rivalry games, as for the red river shootout, i fear my sooners are going to take a HUGE thumpin. all i can say is they better jump on OU while they are down because they will be a different team next year. as a sooner, hating the longhorns is learned before you can walk or talk but the truth is they my be as good as southern cal this year as much as i don't like to say it.Quote:

If you seen or been to the red river shootout the last 4 years you know what im talkin bout...Only this year mack brown has too much talent to blow it.
Benching the big 12 plaer of the year major applewhite for chris simms....Priceless- Mack Brown
enjoy it sooner haters. it won't last long. with 10 players drafted and a heisman trophy winner from last years team i think it would be silly to say texas had more talent. 12 to 0! you don't shutout a team that has superior talent.Quote:

0 drafted????? shaun rodgers DT lions (led the DL in detroit with line tackles), cory redding DE lions, casey hampton DT pittsburg (was startin until injured), Cedric benson Rb bears (would be starter if he hadnt have held out but still will be before the season ends), Roy williams WR. Lions (nough said cornerbacks still cant hold him), quentin jammer Lions CB, and Preist holmes I dont thin i even need to mention.. Oh and didnt Ricky williams come back?
I seriously cant think of one drafted OU player who starts or even makes a difference in the NFL... of your nation champions where are your heismen winners now? Josh heupel QB, did he fall of the face of the earth or is he lighted them up in arena league? NAme one!
On a final thought I would like to add if yall ever do compete again it will only be because of Adrian Peterson because no self respecting person would honsetly ever like to go to norman oklahoma. Not because the football sucks, but because the town is that bad. No women and nothing to do. And I hope your not some diehard sooner fan because your from oklahoma because if you are I have so much more to tell you about what I think about OU. The state of Oklahoma has NOOO talent, they recruit all of it from Texas and thats where ALL of their studs are from. I wish players had to play in colleges from their state only beacuse if this happened oklahoma might be the worst football school in the country. I mean seriously stop bummin off players from the state of Texas.
Texas has OU :owned:
what an ignorant jackass!!! i could shoot down every dumbass statement you threw out there but i'm not gonna wast my time. is anybody holding a gun to those texas kids coming to norman to go to " the worst football school in the country" lol. and as for the state of oklahoma having no athletic talent i'll throw out a few names - jim thorpe who is regarded by most as the best athlete ever, micky mantle, johnny bench, troy aikman, leroy selman and could go on for day's. plenty of superstars from a state of only 3 million people.
True true those guys were good, but its a what have you sone for me lately arguement. Thorpe could be the greatest ever no doubt, but we've not talkin bout the 1950's anymore. Oklahoma used to be rich in talent , but now they are lackin.... Who's the last big name blue chip that came outta oklahoma that everyone wanted....Hmmm i cant think of any big name player. Okalhoma isnt the worst football school in the country, everyone knows they can play, but the fact of the matter is the only reason they have been to a national championship since the 90's is because of Texas talent.Quote:
