There's some kind of collegiate American Football thingy tonight, I think. Do they still wear helmets, or has that been shelved in favor of force fields? Anyway, since I'm a highly respected personality in, um, what the hell is this again? Oh yeah, football. Since I know the lowdown and the get out about America's bastardized fusion of footie and a soccer riot, y'know I got the opinions that count.
I can see the NFL talent on display in kaleidoscopic detail. Where some might see a player, I see a tiny floating sailboat. Here's a look at the those sailboats and how and why they might matter to the Seahawks.
Steve Keim Prospects:
Sergio Kindle (2): Eric DeCosta scored big with Terrell Suggs and could target another elephant linebacker, Sergio Kindle. Kindle is so badass, he once sacked an apartment complex. He's a size-strength-speed prospect that has never been particularly productive. Suggs smacked down 22 sacks as a junior. Kindle has 14 in four seasons. Kindle fails DeCosta's standards for production, but Steve Keim would love to see Kindle in the second. I would love to see Kindle in Arizona. Keim loves athletes and seems unmoved by actual production. May he stay in Arizona forever.
Kyle Hix (64): Hix is a born right tackle. Scouts that value size over athleticism and technique might target Hix late in the draft and hope he develops as he ages. Obviously, skill can develop but size can't. Keim likes his big linemen. He drafted Big Baby Herman Johnson after Johnson plummeted down draft boards. Hix isn't a zone blocker by any stretch, and he might have to move inside at the pro level, but he has the size and frame of a professional and, should he declare, is a decent upside pick that can be had in the fifth or later.
Terrence Cody (62): The spherical creature sometimes called Mount Cody produces huge force off the snap. And that's his game in a nutshell. Cody is not a first round prospect. He does have a good chance of sticking at nose tackle at the NFL level. Keim drafted Gabe Watson and Alan Branch. Keim could draft Cody in the third or later should the pre-draft process chew him up and spit him out. But then, gyrating man boobs didn't hurt Andre Smith.
Mark Ingram (22): Ingram isn't draft eligible yet, but he's the kind of smooth, hyper-athletic skill-position player that Keim loves.
Julio Jones (8): Ditto.
Eric DeCosta Prospects:
Lorenzo Washington (97): Washington is a cheap 3-4 defensive end prospect that a GM attempting to expedite the switch could target. He won't amaze, but he has pro level size and a good overall skill set.
Justin Woodall (27): DeCosta shares a cerebral safety fetish with Tim Ruskell. Woodall isn't a great athlete, but he's pretty damn good at football. He's a right place, right time defender with good size and sound tackling. DeCosta could take him late and hope Mora or whoever can coach him up. Truthfully, he's more of a Ruskell type.
Ruston Webster Prospects:
Javier Arenas (28): I understand Webster through the filter of Ruskell, and Ruskell liked smaller, athletic corners with ball skills and dynamic return ability. He saw Josh Wilson as a bargain when others thought him a reach. Arenas is a lot like Wilson, and should Seattle ever develop the disruptive, zone-heavy scheme they're shooting for, Arenas would double Seattle's ability bite on the route and take it to the house. He fits the basic Tampa 2 tenets: Open field tackling, zone awareness and ball skills. Arenas has inherent value as a returner, too.
Cory Reamer (13): Reamer is a good team player and a potential special teams contributor. He's like Will Herring, but bad.
Greg McElroy (12): I doubt McElroy declares, but he has the mix of size, smarts and SEC success of a David Greene.
Chris Hall (71): Because you can never have too many centers. Ever. Hall has played every line position and that kind of versatility appeals to Greg Knapp. He's a good teammate, a good student and citizen and a technically sound blocker. Hall does have one serious red flag: In a campus interview, he admitted that if he ever broke his hand, he would wear a cast until his hand healed.
Holla McGee (84): Seattle needs a better blocking tight end and more consistent source of dozens.
ETC
Colt McCoy (12): McCoy is the Longhorns offense, but can he shoulder the load against the best defense and best pass defense in all of college football? This is a make or break game for McCoy. Once upon a time, Vince Young was a questionable pro prospect. Then he powered his Longhorns to an upset victory over USC. Never forget, coaches are fans too. McCoy could play himself into the first round. McCoy could fail himself into the CFL.

I just don't like keeping replacement level DHs around.
If Griffey isn’t there, the team could probably take a flier on bringing Russell Branyan back to play in a DH/1B rotation with Milton Bradley and Casey Kotchman.
That's true
I care most about winning, and root for team above player, but Griffey transcends all that for me.
I guess I have a similar attitude towards Griffey as I do to the Colts resting their starters
There’s a meaningful gain in protecting your players, but the Colts still probably won’t win the Super Bowl. Even without a Super Bowl title, going 16-0 means something. The 2001 Mariners still make me happy, even if the playoffs sucked. Griffey is like that to me: He may not help the team win, but ending his career in Seattle still means something to me.
I'd be a lot more upset about this if someone other than Don Wakamatsu was putting lineups together
I think I can trust him to use Griffey in a proper role, being a pinch hitter and spot starter at DH.
Lou turned out to be one of the biggest problems.
Honestly, I think if I had been a smarter baseball fan when I was younger I would have hated Lou.
Lou is fun in the same way Patton and Ditka were.
But his style fractures the fabric very quickly.
I'm gonna go calm submissive on your ass.
Garcia needed kid gloves to a point,
Lou was bad for his head.
I'm gonna go calm submissive on your ass.
Seattle's probably the best city Bradley could have wound up in.
Even-keel coaching staff, not a whole lot of national attention, non Chicago press corps.
I hate the whole "NFL rejects will make it in the CFL" thing
Out of the QBs in the CFL, how many are former first round NFL prospects? None of the starters are, and thats as far as im willing to look into it.
Milt Stegall is one of the best NFL rejects ever to play in the CFL.
Sad he couldn’t win the Grey Cup.
FIRE JIM MORA NOW!
Anthony Calvillo, Jarious Jackson, Ricky Ray, Kerry Joseph, Joffrey Reynolds, Wes Cates, Geroy Simon
All Americans.
Geroy Simon is awesome.
Jarious Jackson is a slightly better version of Seneca Wallace.
Can’t wait until Bumpus is out of the practice squad for the BC Lions.
FIRE JIM MORA NOW!
Lee Corso has got to make producers nervous.
Not only is he likely to forget his “lines”, but in no way is he prepared to ad lib, any longer.
That said, I still find College Gameday a hoot.
I'm gonna go calm submissive on your ass.
I am starting to worry the Seahawks are going to end up with Bavasi at GM.
I’m telling you Paul, you don’t even have to pay me much.
Was Bavasi a finalist for the job?
Or are you speaking in a metaphorical sense?
For the Eagles? Seems like they always draft well.
Also tough to tell cause all the articles I read are praising Ross for Westbrook and McNabb, obviously the articles aren’t mentioning any bad draft picks.
I'm not too big a Heckert fan
Still hoping we get DeCosta.
My biggest fear is hiring Keim.
FIRE JIM MORA NOW!
Regarding experience, I don't think they are that different.
I'm gonna go calm submissive on your ass.
Brian Russell as GM? He's cerebral like that.
We could have the grittiest and hardest working team in the history of mankind.
FIRE JIM MORA NOW!
OT but watching KIRO 7
Steve Raible it’s time to put that ’stache back on. I miss it.
FIRE JIM MORA NOW!
But it's the Super Bowl of college football!
If the teams that played in the Super Bowl were selected by a computer.
I think the new decade should employ 3 pregame songs.
The otts are over, for god’s sake. Step it up.
I'm gonna go calm submissive on your ass.
Opera-like singer that has had several soft rock hits.
They overexposed him early on and now he’s made a little bit of a comeback.

That was the strangest coin toss I've ever seen.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a coin toss that didn’t involve calling it.
Wow was that a bad start.
Run for no gain, false start, sack, bad incompletion, fake punt INT. All that was missing was Ingram going down with a ruptured Achilles.
I didn't see that ball touch any bama player?
No review though I guess..
DeHaven sounds like some Medieval palace
I went to Castle DeHaven and found the lords son cowering due to a poorly covered punt
Well with McCoy's stock plummeting my interest in any of the QBs in the first 3 rounds just ended.
FIRE JIM MORA NOW!
Shanahan sounds like he might stick with Campbell.
St. Louis will have a hard time passing up on Suh.
Damnit
I was worried about that. Its the smarter play in the Portis-Campbell dustup
He'll be right to this time
Portis is one season away from turning into a human erector set
What do you think of Shanahan as a coach?
I think he got a little too cocky about his own abilities and lost the edge. Maybe he’s back down to earth…though I doubt it
It's hard to know. That's what the media decided was true.
He found some good talent and good coordinators for quite a while.
I thought when he started playing 10 RBs in a rotation
that was a sign someone overestimated their own abilities as a coach
At the same time, if you get the production you need it doesn't matter how you get it.
Even if (especially if) it goes against common wisdom. He had a good thing going with undervalued RBs, got the franchise QB in Cutler, and had assembled a good offense. The defense just got away.
I have a lot of concerns about Bradford
I think a lot of people value him because they assume he would have gone first overall in the 2009 draft.
I'm also worried about the offense he was in.
Did he ever take a snap under center? Although that might not be an issue, a lot of teams seem to be running a spread type offense in the NFL.
True, true
hard to know how he’ll read a defense from the line. I like Clausen, just don’t love him as a hawk. Maybe I just can’t get past the fact that I’d like to blacken the other eye..
Most of the complaints about Clausen remind me of the complaints about Manning
which isn’t to say they are the same, but it’s all crap like: He’s a jerk, he’s a loser, his arm isn’t elite, etc.
the "throws lots of jump balls" critique
worries me, but I haven’t scouted obviously. mostly kidding about the “jerk” stuff – I don’t have to want to share a beer with the guy. Would help if his teammates did though…
People really dislike his delivery
I take the same attitude towards that as I do towards worrying about a pitchers delivery.
Leftwich is baaaaaaad.
I watched a pre-season game and noticed that he has a cannon. Except everything he threw was too hard, too high, and late. I didn’t see him dial it back at all.
Yeah but I'll always love him
Playing on a broken leg, offensive line carrying him to the line of scrimmage. One of the more amazing things I’ve ever seen.
Same with McNabb breaking his leg then throwing for 3 more TDs.
The stuff legends are made of.
Watching Phillip Rivers has made less worried about a QB's delivery.
I also don’t think Clausen’s is that off.
No, not at all
and truth be told, Stafford could have been first overall even if Bradford declared. Stafford was an NFL prospect when he was 16. Bradford was barely a college prospect at 16.
After all this only down a score
Not so bad as it could be for Bama
I think I just pooped your pants...
This game looks like shit so far
Are we watching the I need a new muffler bowl or maybe the I have the runs bowl?
Yeah, they're in his head right now.
But really – empty backfield when you’ve been having trouble with the front four from the shotgun?
It's a defensive game where Texas is winning field position so far.
This is pretty normal actually for this type of game.
Winter Storm Warning: 8-12 inches of snow expected overnight.
Die die die die die.
Not a California resident. They take ~1 out of state a year. Unlike undergraduate programs,
medical schools are set up to serve residents of their own states.
Wow.
Did not realize this.
So, generally, the idea is to obtain your undergrad at a school in the state you want to go to medical school?
Most people don't change residency based on where they go to undergrad.
The majority of folks either return to their home state for med school or go to a private institution (when residency doesn’t matter).
Some states don’t have med schools. For instance, UW is the in-state school for Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana, and Idaho.
How do the refs judge where the ball went out of bounds on a punt like that?
Dumb question I know
"powers ahead for another first down"
…didn’t hear that phrase too much during ’09 Hawks broadcasts…
And when we do trade our Snead pick to Denver and they rightly go 2-14
We will use our #1 overall pick to draft Mark Ingram.
FIRE JIM MORA NOW!
You're going to have to let him throw it.
The longer they wait, the worse it will be,
I'm gonna go calm submissive on your ass.
Taco Bell has a diet menu now.
What will they think of next?
I'm gonna go calm submissive on your ass.
Honestly, the fresco soft tacos are the best thing ever.
It’s the closest thing they have to actual Mexican food.
The NFL playoffs better be good
Because this has been a disappointing and uninspiring year of football.
FIRE JIM MORA NOW!
agreed. Not just local football either
NFL seems flat this season minus the Saints and Colts in the first half of the season
Oh, didn't hear that
Guess I didn’t see the shoulder get hit.
Brad McCoy soon to get the news Colt has to have his arm amputated
And will never play football again.
FIRE JIM MORA NOW!
The dad is heading in?
“Now listen Colt, you will take this needle”
I'm gonna go calm submissive on your ass.
It hasn't been awful, awful football--okay it has
but what really bothers me is that it seems impossible for Texas to win without McCoy.
I almost said something like that
Then realized no one but us calls Josh “Pistol”, so no one would ever hear about it.
Actually, there were a couple Taco Bell hotties at the one I frequently patroned in Utah.
The commercial isn’t a 100% lie.
I think the blitzers were rushers his view and probably his throwing lane
If life gives you lemons, keep the receipt
QB sneak on first down...
never seen that before
"Getting treatment in the locker room"
And by “treatment”, they mean “a combination of morphine and Claire Bennet’s blood.”
"re-evaluate Colt McCoy at the half"
i.e., pump him full of painkillers and see if he’s still coherent afterwords
Continual evaluation of Colt McCoy
“Are you okay now?”
“No.”
“How about now?”
“No.”
“Now?”
“It still hurts!”
“Have another shot of this.”
And they all happened at the start of the game.
Alabama doesn’t turn it over twice in the first quarter, that score is 21-0. At best.
"No running back ever had better balance than Emmitt Smith"
Gale Sayers, Barry Sanders, Walter Peyton…
That's a fine list of RBs that had inferior balance.
He said so.
I'm gonna go calm submissive on your ass.
That game against Fresno state was the greatest athletic performance
I’ve witnessed live.
[DELETED ZOMG NO POLITICS]
Are Musberger and Herbstreit in front of a green screen?
Looked like Herbstreit was fizzling into the background there.
Glad to see espn got a chance use the "Tide has turned" line
Never been used for an Alabama game before
College field goals look so weird.
Looks like the ball is being spotted on the sideline.
Gilbert looks lost...
I bet they’re going to have to clear a bunch of shit out of his pants at the half.
"Colt McCoy (12): McCoy is the Longhorns offense, but can he shoulder the load against the best defense and best pass defense in all of college football? "
I think we learned that McCoy’s shoulder was not match for the Crimson Tide defense.
That was more on Monroe than Gilbert, really.
Dude needs to hold on to that.
Why call a shovel pass in that situation?
retarded.
I remember when the Seahawks first used to try that. Doink
vs a draw play?
I’ve seen the shovel pass screwed up so many times. Seems a lot more risky then a handoff.
I would disagree
the way ’Bama has been controlling the line.
I'm gonna go calm submissive on your ass.
But, at the very worst, you anticipate a lineman intercepting it
and that’s not likely to be returned much less returned for a touchdown.
Um, nice try Mack.
That was a terrible call. How about a HB screen or something very simple. Jackass.
I'm gonna go calm submissive on your ass.
USC plays a lot of modern shit
but honestly the most fun stuff to play was 70s rock charts and some 90s stuff like the Offspring.
Modern rock doesn’t translate to marching music as well.
[DELETED ZOMG NO POLITICS]
No, it really is terrible
It’s like listening to a dying cat sliding down a chalk board. And believe me, i’ve heard that too
I will admit that the club was full of weird dancing rich white people
And a stage full of jamming poor black people. I thought that was hilarious.
Try this.

BB is a decent gateway,
but if someone claims to not like Jazz, I wouldn’t start them there. Staying with Miles, Kind of Blue is welcoming.
I'm gonna go calm submissive on your ass.
I'm a bit more of a San Francisco jazz fan
so I usually recommend people start with Time Out.
Heard of him, haven't listened to his stuff.
My saxophone hero growing up was Paul Desmond.
People either love him or hate him.
Definitely the polar opposite of Charlie.
I love most thing Western US
but Western Cool Jazz never became my pref. I got hooked too young on Fusion and Modal.
My dad's old records hooked me to Fusion.
Tom Scott and the LA Express. TomCat is an amazing album.
Believe it or not, Kenny G was actually a pretty respectable fusion musician early on.
His tenor work with the Jeff Lorber band was excellent.
Eh the soprano is a great instrument in the right hands.
Coltrane? Brilliant soprano saxophonist.
And truth be told,
Coltrane at Village Vanguard bothers me when he picks it up.
I'm gonna go calm submissive on your ass.
He doesn't tour anymore even though he's only 40.
Played a lot with Wynton and Jazz at Lincoln Center. Was on Blood in the FIelds. If you’re ever in the City he plays regular gigs at Pier 23 and Rosellas. Brilliant.
I'm gonna go calm submissive on your ass.
Maynard Ferguson and Arturo Sandoval
Yes, I’m a trumpet player
Me as well. When people asked me what I wanted to be when I grow up (circa age 12)
I would say, seriously, “Cuban.”
Truth be told
I went form lizard to writer. I wanted to be a writer pretty much from elementary school on. Once I realized inventors don’t actually get to make up wild and crazy and science defying shit.
That was me and Paleo
I realized around 10 that I would never find a Dinosaur, so it became doctor. And it was Doctor until I was almost 24, and then it was Nurse Practitioner.
Bad jazz is the worst music ever.
Although Big Bang and Swing aren’t my bag, good jazz beautiful.
I'm gonna go calm submissive on your ass.
I like Big Band era stuff
but my preference is the San Francisco Cool.
One of the funniest lines was on the road trip in the van one
For some reason I remember when it was said but not what Vince had said
HEY HEY

Saw him here in Portland, not my crowd
but he has the Roseland JUMPING. Total command. IMpressive.
I'm gonna go calm submissive on your ass.
You saw him just this last time he was here for the fest?
I was there too. I agree, the hipsters get a bit too thick for me to really enjoy, but there are a whole lot of fun-having womens.
Yeah, I'm more Stanton Moore and Charlie Hunter
but that was fun, I’ll admit.
I'm gonna go calm submissive on your ass.
I like both of those dudes
But what I like about Girl Talk is that he was just a BioChemist that liked to make shit up on his computer, and it’s fantastic.
I got to see Bobby McFerrin live
Man is absolutely phenomenal
Seen him as well.
Excellent performer.
Someone else you should go see live is Roy Hargrove.
He was there the year before actually
Lyonel Hampton Jazz Festival in Moscow.
Won our division both years
Hey I was there that year.
Did you catch Monty Alexander last year?
Disedent jazz is the crappy stuff...
Thats where it sounds like random 4th graders hammering away on instruments…..
Bring Your Game, Leave Your Name.
iTunes randomly shuffled over to So What? today while I was eating lunch.
I stopped chewing for a minute or two.
Can some one settle an argument?
My wife thinks the bandleader was a woman with a mans mustache.
I think it was a man with a woman’s body.
Gilbert's body language is atrocious.
Dude looks like he’s about to cry.
They tried that and he sucks.
He’s not going to become a star out there. It just won’t happen. I feel sorry for him.

Worst thing about this is, there's no other option on right now.
Jeopardy’s already over, there’s nothing on at 8, and none of my usual torrents are updated.
New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
Is awesome. Get it if you don’t already have it.
That's what I have heard.
It’s addictive with 4 players.
But I hate buying Nintendo systems for 2-3 games.
True, it's not worth buying the console for
But if you have a Wii, get this game.
I played Madden '02 on the N64
I actually played the Seahawks for the first time in just about ever and won against the Chiefs 31-10 and the Eagles 31-28.
Ricky Watters pwns in this game and Darrell Jackson dropped 4 passes from Hasselbeck.
I even got Lamar King 2 sacks on Trent Green.
FIRE JIM MORA NOW!
I only have a 360
But if I had the choice it would be PS3, just because I’m a Playstation man at heart.
Exactly, that's why I said PlayStation instead of Sony.
And why I bought a 360. What are your feelings on Darksiders?
Truthfully it hasn't been on my radar all that much
so I’m probably going to wait for Kotaku and the like to deliver a decent review before I decide whether to rent or purchase.
I was interested at the beginning
Then didn’t pay attention ’til last month. I will probably rent it. IGN said it was 60% Ocarina of Time, 40% God of War.
Coulda sworn I saw that CBS was producing it.
Yes, that CBS.
And another drop.
Are you guys determined to break Gilbert?
Which one?
The Stop-Motion one by Tim Burton that came out last spring, or the musical version of “8 1/2” that came out last month?
Hmm....far enough
But I don’t have enough invested to be truly miserable. It isn’t like Week 2 against the niners.
This is the first year I watched college football all day, pretty much every Saturday
so I have that invested.
What really annoys me
is that if I were God, UT would never have been in this game. It would have been TCU, with UT against BSU.
I think that might have resulted in two blowouts and no clear champion
I hate the BCS, but being undefeated doesn’t mean a whole hell of a lot.
Yeah
It’s a lot better than a slow, grinding but dominating slog. This is shades of 49ers-Seahawks after Hasselbeck went out.
It's not a blowout and so there's not a lot of cool scoring
It’s not even remotely close. Without McCoy, the game is decided.
They were never really in jeopardy of losing that game
But they’re Iowa so they’re not allowed to score points unless they really have to.
Without the Sonics I have no clue about basketball anymore
Sometimes I check up on how the Oklahoma players are doing and then I get a pit in my stomach.
Durrant and Green was a hell of a draft
And then Westbrook. With only five starters, it’s amazing the impact one draft can have on a basketball team.
I don't like baseball.
Sounders season is coming up soon!
But I’m a Toronto FC fan. More depression. Time to become a Sounders fan.

March Madness is the most meaningful basketball of the year.
The games are hotly contested, the kids and fanbases are deeply invested, and there are a lot of great story lines and upsets.
When the first and second round games had a session in Spokane one year, I went.
I found myself rooting heartily for Dayton and for Weber State etc. The environment was unlike anything I’ve ever been in.
The last time I went to the early rounds was the game when Trent Johnson got a double technical in the fourth minute somehow
leading to my friend who was betting on Stanford to literally look at me, slack-jawed, saying “I… I… I can’t believe that just happened:” for a good ten minutes
This isn't a good team without a big man.
I’m getting frustrated with Romar’s rotations. MORE GANT!
FIRE JIM MORA NOW!
Which says a lot about basketball.
I enjoy the tourney, but there is zero investment into the teams. I cheer for the underdog stories.
Have you ever given "team doctor" a rip...
as your calling?
Either that or team psychologist would be natural fits.

That comment came off as indignant....
sorry for that. I need to figure out ways of including “tone” into my replies.

"At some point, at some point, you've got to try and block a punt."
More winning analysis from Musburger.
Ever Georgia Tech QB should be asked at least once an interview
What it felt like to be sacked by Rudy.
Fun fact:
The University of Texas’ fight song is, apparently, “I’ve Been Working on the Railroad.”
#43 of Texas just pointed Alabama's way as if to say they had the ball.
Epic FAIL.

OK, so the refs don't call PI on Alabam in two very obvious spots
But they call it on Texas on a ball that was underthrown by about five yards? Seriously, WTF?
One of these drives they should think about running a punt back...
Bring Your Game, Leave Your Name.
Never heard of it.
Must be a bonus only available during the money quarter.
Between the third and the money quarter
they slid a tile down pachinko like structure and won the momentum bonus and the clutch boost.
And fuck you Google spell check for not knowing what "Pachinko" is
That’s embarrassing ethnocentrism.
I think this must be the same officials from Super Bowl XL
A lot of Texas making a play penalties going on…
I've agreed with the penalty rulings.
It sucks that an underthrown pass can cause interference, but that’s technically correct. He impeded the receivers path to the ball.
The non-PI call before that
I didn’t see major contact. I just saw a coincidence between the receiver jumping for the ball and incidental contact.
Wow, the receivers are catching the ball.
How novel.
They can take it to the house at any time
A literal house that is erected in the endzone for just such an occasion
They just said 3rd and 6 was a manageable 3rd down
I called bull shit, but then remembered I was a Hawks fan.
I thought you were saying definitely to the actual question asked....
FUNNY!
Bring Your Game, Leave Your Name.
I'm giving him a pass because this is absurd.
If McCoy had gone down yesterday, Gilbert would have spent the entire day throwing up in a garbage can.
In the money quarter, all the point values are doubled
And when you hear this sound – DOOOT DOOOT – that means the game is over.
"Greg McElroy has not lost a football game as a starting quarterback since the 8th grade."
He must have been on the bench a lot.
Those Cadillac commercials
try to make me hate myself, but I’ve hated myself for awhile now. Jokes on them!
The question isn't whether or not you turn your car on
The question is blah blah blah go fuck yourself lady in red.
This isn't exactly the best place to get your first major playing time.
I think he has a great future ahead of him. I kind of assumed Texas would suck next year but maybe not.
How tall is Ingram?
He’s either short or runs with a very nice compact style. Looks similar to Ray Rice.
That whole 'draft eligibility' thing hurts RBs.
What does Ingram gain by staying in school vs. having one more year of a NFL RBs typically short shelf-life?
McIlroy is exemplifying the bad qualities of Hass and Seneca
The lack of throwing it away (both of them), creating their own pressure (Seneca), just standing there and holding on to the ball (Hass), and throwing it to the RB for a check down (Hass).
FIRE JIM MORA NOW!
There is a reason for that...
he isn’t that good – he just has an incredible run game and a great line.
"The NFL should only schedule divisional games for the last 2 weeks of the season."
Who agrees with this? I do.
So this is it, then.
3 minutes to mount the greatest comeback in BCS history. Let’s see what happens.
Why not go for it?
if you get in, game’s over. If you don’t get it, they still have to go score and now they have to go 99 yards
After all felons should be able to watch football as punishment
all he did was scam people out of their money, caused people to go destitute.
Texas takes the kick back for a TD, recovers the onside kick, Gilbert throws the winning TD to Shipley.

Heath Evans balls on Holmgren
In both Green Bay and with the Seattle Seahawks, Mike Holmgren was as demanding a coach as any.
“Without bashing him, Mike ripped into me for four years and it did no good at all because there was no coaching involved, it was just being ripped,” said Evans, who played from 2001-05 for the Seahawks.
I don't know what Cleveland media is like
But I give him 7 months before he has them eating off his taint. Their main export is crippling depression, they need something to cheer for.
I agree, unnecessary criticism annoys me
And I don’t doubt you’re right about Cleveland, they have that Philadelphia blood lust about them.
Which is why I am happy Seattle is out of the national spotlight
But at the same time, I think I dislike the Victorian attitude which is so prevalent in some of Seattle’s media. The example that readily comes to mind is their turning on Housh for being vocal.
Couldn't agree more
So many of my favorite writers have just turned to complete shite. But, at the same time, if you get the chance to sell out for millions of dollars Morgan….don’t look back.
Anyone could've predicted this, but I guess I wasn't far off in my analysis
I’m one to believe Mark Ingram will have 25 carries for 117 yards and 2 TDs. The numbers look appealing but I think the defense will set up Alabama’s offense in compromising field positions and be crowned champions under Nick Saban.
Then again I said ‘Bama would win 27-7 so that’s sort of the nullifier.
FIRE JIM MORA NOW!
This is kinda close to what I thought it would be
I thought it would be Bama pulling ahead at the end, at least Texas made it a game.
Saban must feel a pit in his stomach
knowing he won the National Title and still looked like a terrible coach.
She's the nicest person in the world, despite all the coke stuff
I hope you die. I hope we BOTH die.
I will awake tomorrow to find my car has been rendered immobile. I will be forced to hole up in my apartment for days.
I will have enough food, but will resort to eating my neighbors out of boredom.
More like 2002 Raiders.
Get to the title game, and crap the bed in the final game on turnover after turnover.
And with that, I gotta get ready for work.
G’night y’all.
Someone should film her naked through her hotel room peephole.
I hear that will fuck someone’s career.
My dad the Neurologist just called me to discuss the interview.
We’re doing a differential. He seems to think Colt is kind of fucked.
Not muscular, but numbness in whole arm = brachial plexus injury.
3 + hour duration? More than a “stinger”. I hope you get some feeling back soon, kiddo.
Most likely not, and it's really impossible to say given the amount of information available.
It isn’t great, though.
Don't draft McCoy
I don’t think I could handle seeing Colt’s sad puppy face on the Seahawks sideline.
You touched on it last time.
But if they do switch 3-4, won’t that whole lame zone scheme fade? Or should we not care about that and just get the picks?
yup and Ingram's dad is a felon
I bet Brent Mussburger says it three more times before coverage ends.
I know it's only wishful thinking in the offseason...
but we could get Ingram and get rid of Mora – it’s a win – win.
he's a champion though
and hasn’t lost a game since he was in the 8th grade, oh yeah and Ingram’s dad is a felon.
reruns could still make me laugh
I’m a Texas fan…and talked a lot of trash and will have to hear about it.
yeah - he looked good at points
I can’t wait to see him get reps as a starter in spring ball…we’ll be back.
