PrintUpdate: Here's a quick list of prospects cribbed from NFL Draft Scout:
Frogs:
DE/RushLB: Jerry Hughes (98)
ILB: Daryl Washington (41)
Broncos:
CB: Kyle Wilson (1)
Greeting from outside the Schooner Pub & Galley. Alanya and I are lost at sea attempting to move my stuff into my new room. In typical Seahawks fashion, a simple travel day has turned into a maelstrom of misadventures. If we catch a fair wind, I might yet moor in time to see tonight's contest. The Horned Frogs face the Broncos for the honor of ending the season undefeated and the infamy of it not really mattering. I'm pulling Frog, if only because of David Hawthorne. If I make it ashore before game time, I will list some potential talents to survey, but for now, clumsy nautical analogies will have to do.
Ahoy.

Two things:
I’m pulling (Fearless) Frog
And of course we have to root against the Broncos, we’ve been rooting for them all season, what’s one more day?
I'm pretty sure he got banned from Music City Miracles during the game thread.
I want him to come back….with a clearer head.
FORNICATE THE HORSIES!!!!
FIRE JIM MORA NOW!
The way he's behaved at other blogs
he isn’t coming back anytime soon.
I want to see TCU's RBs
LT worked out fine and Aaron Brown from the Lions has shown a little bit of promise.
Looking at the rankings they’re 5th in the nation in rushing with 256.5 yards per game.
GO FROGS!
FIRE JIM MORA NOW!
Anyone looking forward to the Sugar Bowl to watch Jonathan Dwyer?
It’s not a gimme that he declares but I’d take a look at him in the 2nd round.
FIRE JIM MORA NOW!
Screw This
Give me playoffs, I-A college football needs to determine its champion legitimately. My Broncos host the Seahawks next season. We’ll see what happens.

Per Wikipedia but just about copied verbatim from the original sources
After the 2009 season, after all of the teams have cycled through playing against each other both home and away, the league will then implement a modified version of the 2002 scheduling formula, tweaked especially to relieve East Coast teams from having to travel to the West Coast multiple times during the same season. Under the original 2002 formula, those teams scheduled to play all the AFC West clubs had to travel to both Oakland and San Diego in the same season, while those clubs playing the NFC West had to make their way to both San Francisco and Seattle.
In the 2008 season, the New England Patriots and New York Jets each had to make cross-country trips to all four of the aforementioned West Coast teams. Under the 2010 modified formula, clubs would only have to visit one West Coast team (AFC West or NFC West), plus one western team from the same division closer to the Midwest. Specifically, those clubs traveling to Oakland would then instead play at Denver, while those playing at San Diego would instead just have a shorter trip to Kansas City. For those playing NFC West teams, some will travel to both San Francisco and Arizona in the same season, while others will instead make trips to Seattle and St. Louis.
Based on that Denver doesn’t need to travel to Seattle and San Francisco, but just San Francisco.

So glad they've alleviated those issues for East Coast teams.
That was nice of them.
Wonder if they’ll ever consider changing the start times for west coast teams traveling east. Or… is that different since it doesn’t involved the poor Patriots.

Yes
you’re astonishingly perceptive. Too many peckerheads there. Not you of course.

I've again found temporary port at the Schooner after lowering my sails at a local Garlic Jim's.
Alanya enjoyed the GF pizza.
Prospects?
Anyone have a list of the relevant prospects in the game?
Kyle Wilson, CB Boise State
3rd rounder-ish. Other then that, not much to write home about in terms of NFL prospects.
Sorry about asking an off-topic question
But I was wondering if Suh or McCoy (or name another player) were available at 4, whether the Seahawks would be interested in trading up with the Redskins to get one of them, or if you think they will be content with what falls their way.
Were TCU's helmets that crazy paint job all season?
Think I would have noticed that before
I'm gonna go calm submissive on your ass.
I LOVE the pants and helmets...
I think they’re bad ass, and I’m not even watching on HD. They must look amazing on HD…

and at least one Zoroastrian
What’s a team without a Zoroastrian I ask you? That’s right, no team at all.
I bet they have a couple self claimed buddists and rastafarians though.
What college team doesn’t?!?

Zorn for OC
I believe Zorn will do good as an offensive coordinator. He was an assistant under Holmegren so he knows how the west coast offense works and being a former QB he will do good in developing our future franchise QB whoever he is.
ZORN FOR OC
What can you base this on? Seeing the playcalls he makes it feels like he's not ready to be an OC.
FIRE JIM MORA NOW!
Not ready
Is washington really built to run the west coast offense. They seem more like a power running team with downfield passing to me. With the injuries they sustained this year I don’t think to many OC’s would have done good. Just how much better did they get when Lewis started calling plays. Not much. Just look at Shanahans first coaching job, he was not very good but look what he did in Denver.
ZORN FOR OC
I'm going to be honest with you
I am not sure I want to continue with the WCO. Not that I hate it, but I want a different direction. At a minimum, I want to have a WCO that resembles Philadelphia. If Andy Reid was an intelligent playcaller they would’ve gotten at least 1 Super Bowl by now.
Jim Zorn was in over his head and needs more time to learn. Washington supposedly not being built to run the WCO does not excuse the playcalls he makes.
I understand your idea, however.
FIRE JIM MORA NOW!
Over his head
Yes Jim Zorn was in over his head in Washington but remember he was originally hired to be their OC. Then when no one else wanted to be Snyders head coach he promoted Zorn. I believe that Zorn will not only bring in the west coast but he will mix in some of the plays from when he was playing back in the day. They had a very exiting offense back in those early days. I would love to see some off that come back.
ZORN FOR OC
Seahawk Blue
I know he is just a sophomore but I would love to see him in Seahawk blue in 2011. I think he is going to be a great pro qb
ZORN FOR OC

The joke was the snap was terrible and I assumed it was Vallos.
I then realized that was clearly Spencer’s fault.
FIRE JIM MORA NOW!
TCU in crap the bed mode on offense

You guys see that clip from the GB-SEA playoff game? Ah memories.
I hope you die. I hope we BOTH die.
That punt just goes to remind you how valuable punters are
Makes you think, you know, maybe we should lock ours up for the long term.
Oh crap B-Russ getting trucked by Chris Johnson made it on ESPN's Top 10 NFL Plays of the year.
FIRE JIM MORA NOW!
Now i'm just pissed that these two got matched up this year
We could have had double super shadenfreude this year with if these two had gotten matched up with Florida and Oklahoma. and instead i’m just irritated by the BCS.
Uhmm, wow?
