Preseason Poll

2010-08-19T22:40:00.003-05:00

unnamed leage member reading the poll hot of the press

a few things....remember 4 teams make the playoffs, 1st record then top 3 total points....everyone gets 6 transactions this year, trades/adds count as one, trade deadline is week 4......schedule was e-mailed out tonight....remember in order for a WR to gain RB status he must have 12 or more rushing attempts in a game to get it, he doesnt get 12 the next week he then loses his RB status. Also if it is announced a player is switching positions that would be another way. Basically we will monitor the few situations that arise and do our best to make the right call on these......Start putting in lineups right now if you want.....to the final ballot and numerous comments from the ballot's

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Random comments from ballots....

Chris
Vereen 7th pick was huge, and A Bradford should be pretty good as well, so in a damp RB year he got 2 good ones. Posey along with other wide outs will be good and got Brantley in a good spot. Best Pick..V Smith Michigan....if he comes back from knee issues in strong fashion. Final take...Vereen could be the best back in fantasy, has a good team to surround him with.

Bomar - Murray could be a stud, but the guy gets hurt EVERY YEAR! Jerrell Jackson is already hurt. Wingo is in a committee and no one really knows how much Baxter will see the field (although I wanted him too). Took Tai-ler Jones WAY too early. Could get some nice production out of his mid-round receivers (Cooper, R Smith). I like Ponder, but he plays a lot of good defenses in the ACC. Needs Baxter to break out as a Reggie Bush clone to compete. Best pick: James Rodgers. Worst: Tailer Jones

Frederick - Like his top 2 RBs, but his WR's are scum. Landry Jones will put up good #s and his pick of Adam Robinson looks really good now. Should get around 300 yards from his 5th round pick. Best pick: A Robinson Worst: D Robinson

Ingram will be a shark and Allen should have some wide running lanes in ND's offense, as long as he gets the majority of carries. Pryor's gonna destroy all the farm boys in the Big Ten. RoJo should be solid and I think Kirkendahl could end up being the #1 WR for Texas. Best pick: Pryor Worst: Barner

Josh--Clay is great...rest of Rb squad sucks balls....Mallet is solid. Best Pick is Clay 3rd overall. Final grade...wrs need some big time help, rbs after clay blow....poor team overall

Kobza - Ingram Heisman, Pryor....Heisman = # 1 if it holds up....
ROJO and Kirkendoll will be USC AND TEXAS' leading REC

Chris-RBS GREAT.... Posey will be Pryors top man.... Brantley will be fine Hated: Fannin at 3, over rated LOVE: TJ MOE at 15 and I didnt pick him soon enough

Troy - Kendall Hunter = a Beast, Jermaine Thomas at 2.....will hurt esp if he doesnt startHated: Jermaine Thomas @ 2!!...Hasnt lived up to Hyped so far... why now?
LOVE: Josh Nesbitt, RUN RUN RUN

Fredrick: like his early round picks but D.Robinson in the 5th round is maybe the worst pick this league has ever seen. Husker Homer Frederick.

Tick
This team may get some very mixed reviews but all in all has a lot of upside. M Ford in the 3rd is a good gamble and has other young studs at RB. C King along with Ealey of Geo has a chance to be pretty good, if he can stay on the field. Best Pick is Chris Rainey of flor in the 9th! Final Take...Fields of opportunity with this team, one to watch thats for sure.

Tyson - Jerrod Johnson, Derrick washington Solid but 13 out of 20 picks BIG 12 PLAYERS???!!!???!! Hated: Malcolm Williams @ 4..I think Kirkendoll will be the man in TEXAS
LOVE: Jerrod Johnson = Hes fun to Watch

Craig
In terms of finding 3 solid backs in this draft I feel he did in a big way. He wets his pants with Ealey with good reason behind a very good line. WR's are pretty solid, and has 2 QBs's that have a lot of upside. Uzoma N of Tex AM was his best pick! Final Take...could be undervalueing this team a bit, we'll wait and see.

Tick-He has a couple good wr's in Broyles & Adams and I think Barkley is just average as far as fantasy qb's are concerned. His team's stock could rise if he can find a diamond in the rough with one or two of those rb's he drafted

Berringer-He got the best rb in the draft, but his depth at that position concerns me. His qb is untested and could be the steal of the draft or a bust and I feel the same way about his wr's also.

Bomar
I like the rolling of the dice mentality of Bomar this year. Demarco if Demarco will be a stud, Missouri's WR corps is a huge mystery but if his gut was right J Jackson will be worth the value in the 3rd round. Tai ler Jones of Notre Dame may have been a stretch in the 6th but you never know, the Irish need some more play makers to replace Tate. Best
Pick...D Thomas of Oregon assuming he starts! Final take...instead of reaching on mid level Rb's in early rounds like others did he took talented wide outs...for that he will be rewarded.

Draft over

2010-08-17T22:05:00.004-05:00

Rules will be the same as last year...schedule will come out soon....still need 4 preseason votes....in addition to the 3 transactions so far Tyson adds Washington Mizzou WR and drops V.McGee....any questions let me know

Penn State fans have a very nice welcome to Buckeye fans at a taligate...highlight is probably the 18 second mark where a dude drills him with a full can of beer

Frederick Memoirs

2010-07-20T21:12:00.005-05:00

This is a memoir of many of the games I've witnessed either in person or by television/radio. I've been to over one hundred home games and more than a dozen road games. I have memories from nearly all of them but these are the ones that stick out. Everything I mention below is "off the cuff". If any numbers (scores, ranking, etc...) or facts are incorrect it is merely a product of lost memory. I have not referenced anything but my brain's data. So, without further ado.... In chronological order. I attended the games in bold Italics.

1986 Oklahoma State - I believe this was my first Husker game although I'd have to get confirmation from my father. Very faint memories. This was when the seed of my fanaticism was planted.

1987 UCLA - Went with my brother and sat (stood) in the student section. I was a couple weeks away from my ninth birthday. Neil Smith, Broderick Thomas and the rest of the Huskers took down Troy Aikman and the top ten ranked Bruins.

1987 Oklahoma - "Game of the Century II". I wasn't at this game but still remember vividly. Keith Jackson and the "Sooner Magic" did it again. 17-7 loss. The first loss that actually "hurt". 1988 Oklahoma State - NU put up 42 points a few minutes into the second quarter (including 14 in the first three plays from scrimmage). Too bad for OSU that Barry Sanders couldn't play defense. 63-42 NU win.

1988 Colorado - Watched in disbelief as Buffalo running back JJ Flannigan fumbled away a for sure touchdown streaking down the field with nobody near him. Big Red went on to win 7-0. 1989 Utah - Pretty uneventful blowout against Scott Mitchell and the Utes. The reason I remember the game is because there was a weather delay due to lightning. ***Side note - "Husker Bob" died that day. I swear during that game he sat like two rows in front of me.

1990 Colorado - Nothing like sitting through a cold, wet, miserable day only to see NU squander a 12-0 fourth quarter lead by giving up four fourth quarter touchdowns to Eric Bienemy. I still say the Huskers got screwed on a Johnny Mitchell touchdown that got called back. 27-12 NU loss.

1991 Washington - Huskies came in to Memorial with a top five ranking. NU took the early lead on a Derek Brown touchdown. But Steve Emtmann and the Huskies were too much to handle. 37-21 loss.

1992 at Iowa State - After dominating back to back top ten teams (Colorado and Kansas) Tommie Frazier and the 'Skers lose 19-10 in Ames. Probably the coldest game I've ever been to. My feet were numb halfway through the first quarter. Coincidentally or not, I'm 0-3 in Ames (1992, 2002, 2004).

1993 at Kansas - Was in Lawrence sitting behind the end zone that Glen Mason's Jayhawks two point conversion attempt failed in. Breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Mason for not kicking the PAT for the tie. Funny sidenote you will laugh at, I jerked off in the car while it was parked in a huge open lot about 4 hours prior to kickoff. No joke either.

1994 Orange Bowl, Florida St - Heavy underdog NU goes toe to toe with the Seminoles. William Floyd still hasn't scored and Corey Dixon's punt return was nullified by a phantom block in the back. I think we all know how this one ended. 18-16 Seminoles. Puke.

1994 UCLA - ESPN's 'College Gameday' came to Lincoln for the first time. And the two new 'Husker Vision' big screens were unveiled. Those two perks just enhanced the day as NU beat the piss out of JJ Stokes and the Bruins.

1994 Colorado - No lucky "Hail Mary" for you Buffaloes today. NU shuts down Kordell, Salaam, and Westbrook for an easy 24-7 over the second ranked Buffs. I believe there was a stat the Colorado was combined 0 for 12 on third and fourth down conversions.

1995 Orange Bowl, Miami - I was there in all my glory. Front row of the balcony. Stadium was literally probably split 50/50. Was hanging my head at halftime with the Canes leading 17-7. However, in the end the big uglies were too much for Warren Sapp, Ray Lewis and the rest of the Hurricane defense. Greatest Husker game/memory for me. Topped off by walking through the shady Miami projects after the game. Didn't care. Big Red finally got their first title in my lifetime.

1995 at Michigan State - Lawrence Phillips shredded Nick Saban's Spartan defense to put him at the top of the Heisman list through the first two weeks. 50-10 Big Red win. Too bad LP had to beat the shit out of a woman later that night...

1995 Kansas State - Nebraska once again beat down the Pussycats and I dropped acid in the fourth quarter before heading to Pershing to see Phish....and taking more psychedelics.

1996 Fiesta Bowl, Florida - Take your 'Fun 'n' Gun' and shove it Spurrier. Best. College. Football. Team. Ever. I was so hungover on Jim Beam the next morning that I slept through my first couple of classes before heading to school. Needless to say, I didn't get much accomplished that day. I don't think anybody (faculty) cared either. Probably the peak of Husker football.

1996 at Arizona State - All I could think while watching it was "is this really happening?". Nothing like scoring 77 on the Sun Devils the year before only to be shut out the following season. Ugly.

1996 Big 12 Championship, Texas - I'll get to Texas later. See below.

1997 at Washington - Huskers go to Seattle and lay the wood to the second ranked Huskies. Jason Peter and company beat the hell out of Brock Huard and the Washington offense. While NU had three one hundred yard rushers (Frost, Green, Mackovicka).

1997 at Missouri - I had to work (Russ's Market) during this game. I didn't really care at the time because I figured NU would roll them. It didn't turn out that way. Luckily a girl I worked with brought in an old black and white tv after halftime so I got to watch the ending on that. Unbelievable! Wiggins should've caught Frosty's pass in the first place but at least Davison saved the day...and season.

1998 Orange Bowl, Tennessee - Close for about a quarter against Peyton Manning and Vols but in the end the Huskers were too strong. The second half was a laugher as NU won their third title in four years. Went and partied downtown after the game and busted into Memorial with hundreds of other Husker fans. Smoked a bowl on the 'N' at the 50 yard line and helped take down the goal posts. Classic. And by the way, Michigan fans...you didn't share the title with Nebraska. Nebraska shared it with you. Be happy you got half.

1998 Louisiana Tech - Would somebody please cover Troy Edwards!? Oh wait, they can't. Oh well. You can set your records. We'll take the 29 point victory. 1998 Oklahoma State (Arrowhead in KC) - Nothing like drinking beer legally (yet, illegally since I was a minor) and watching a goal line stand to preserve a win. 1998 Texas - Not yet...

1998 at Kansas State - Well, Michael Bishop and his Wildcats finally got over the hump. However, I still can't believe Crouch didn't break his neck.

1999 at Iowa - I was about 100 feet away from where Crouch ran over the Hawkeye DB. I might as well have been five feet away. That's how loud it was. Great time tailgating before the game. Jack Daniels, Budweiser, and kind bud.

1999 at Texas - Once again, later...

2000 at Notre Dame - When they showed the stadium on tv I about shit my drawers. What a scene. Great game too. ND made a nice comeback on special teams. Crouch and company pulled it out in overtime .

2001 Notre Dame - I had looked forward to this game since it was scheduled in the early 90's. Fun day. Great result. Boring game.

2001 Oklahoma - Stuntz to Crouch. Need I say more? That is probably the single loudest moment I've ever heard in Memorial Stadium.

2001 at Colorado - Ouch. 62-36. Black Friday indeed. 2002 Rose Bowl, Miami - Shouldn't have been there. Probably would've been best had we not. Along with the aforementioned Colorado game, this was the precursor for a rough next seven or eight years

2002 at Penn State - Fun road trip. Terrible ass whooping. Luckily I was so drunk that I don't remember much of the game.

2004 -2007 - I've tried to erase these years from my memory but there were a few games worth mentioning.... 2004 Missouri - This was me and Angie's first date. We had a good time at the bars before the game despite the fact it was an early kickoff and we went downtown at 9:00 am. Things must've gone well considering we are now married. Oh, and Nebraska won too. Bonus.

2005 Texas Tech - Just fall down LeKevin. Just fall down.....Tough loss to swallow. 2005 Alamo Bowl, Michigan - Probably the highlight of the Callahan era. Great game. Great ending. Terrible hangover. I drank a half a bottle of Bacardi 151. Had to be to work at 6:30 am. I made it. But I had to have our courier pick me up an 'Ultimate Skillet' from Village Inn so I could function properly.

2006 at USC - Drove from Vegas to LA the day of the game. Drank damn near a whole bottle of Sailor Jerry on the ride ( I wasn't driving). Once we arrived outside the Coliseum we had to pay $80 to park in a lot. Our alternative was parking our rental car with our belongings in the middle of South Central LA. For real. It was like 'Boyz in the Hood' shit. Oh, and we had to watch the Huskers get beat down. Long trip back to Vegas.

2006 at Texas A&M - I was actually in Houston for a wedding the same day as this game. Found a bar at the resort we were at just in enough time to watch the ending. It was cheery watching Purify pull that ball down in the end zone like it was a bucket of fried chicken.

2007 season - Fuck that 2008 Colorado - So flipping hammered at this game. Wasn't looking good for Big Red until Alex Henery's 57 yard field goal to take the lead. Suh's interception and obliteration of Cody Hawkins were gravy. 2009 at Virginia Tech - Did. That. Really. Just. Fucking. Happen???

2009 Iowa State - This game was like a bad dream. Honestly. For a moment I thought I actually was having a nightmare. 8 turnovers. 4 inside the ISU 5 yard line. Niles Paul literally dropping the ball as he's running for pay dirt. I lost $200 on this game. I had bet the Huskers at -13.5 game back in August. NU should've won by 30. Instead they lost by two. Minus eight turnovers. Once in a lifetime event.

2009 Oklahoma - Best day of the year. The drinks were flowing before the game. Had a good vibe going. Walking to Memorial I look down on the ground and happen to see cash. I picked it up quickly and it was $15. Nothing like free money. So then as Ang and I are going into the stadium we decided to actually see the 'Tunnel Walk' in person. It was my first and only time to ever do so. It did not disappoint. Bad ass! Talk about goose bumps. The game didn't suck either. Great night. And now to... Texas Oh my goodness. How much more can a man take? If NU doesn't win on Oct. 16th I may go postal. Vince Young's 2003 squad is the only squad that won convincingly. Yet for whatever reason, every time NU matches up with UT, the Horns seemingly catch all the breaks late. 1996 (St. Louis) - Gotta give Mackovic credit for his gutsy fourth down call late to seal it. Priest Holmes was a beast. DeAngelo Evans was almost as good. Too bad Terrell Farley decided to drive drunk and run from the cops a week before this game. Huskers would've played for the title against Florida had they won. So you could conceivably say that NU would've won four straight titles had gotten by the Longhorns. 1998 - Halloween night. Ricky Williams and the Longhorns come into Lincoln and end their home winning streak. Major Applewhite leads Texas down the field late, aided by a pass interference call, and throws a touchdown with less than thirty seconds to go. Halloween party afterwards was memorable (I was Spider-Man = )). But the loss soured the mood. 1999 - Once again another national title shot ruined by the Longhorns. Fumbles by Crouch and Buckhalter deep in Texas territory were killers. Buckhalter's was at the goal line. Can't seem to catch a break against the Horns. NU takes rematch in Big 12 Championship game. But by then the damage was done. 2002 - The boys from Austin do it again. A 200+ yard rushing performance by Jammal Lord is all for naught during another tough loss against UT. With seconds left, trailing by three and inside the Texas five after a great punt return by Dejuan Groce, Lord is picked off in the end zone by Nathan Vashar. Preserving yet another late Longhorn victory. 2006 - This is getting fucking old. After a comeback to take the lead highlighted by an amazing Brandon Jackson touchdown and a TD pass thrown by Marlon Lucky to Nate Swift, all was well. The snow began to fall. All NU needed was one more 1st down to milk the clock. Terrence Nunn had a first down catch in his grasp, only to fumble the ball before being down. Texas scooped it up and kicked a go ahead field goal to win the game. Hooked again. 2007 - Okay by this point in the 2007 season I, and most other Husker fans, were probably numb to the losing and looking forward to Callahan being canned. However, after leading the heavily favored Longhorns for three quarters the Husker team gave everybody a glimmer of happiness....until they allowed Jamal Charles to rush for like 650 yards in the fourth quarter and eventually go on to win. My goodness... 2009 (Arlington) - What more needs to be said that already hasn't? This was gut wrenching. Out of all the tough losses NU has endured over the years, I probably took this the hardest. Needless to say I was pretty fired up on liquor. I might have killed Colt McCoy had I seen him in person after he played off his dip shit play at the end of the game by saying "I knew we had a second left". Fuck you Colt. You had no idea what was going on after all the hits you took. Chalk it up as you getting lucky and the fact that the Big 12 licks Texas' taint. Hope you enjoyed my stroll down memory lane. I know I did. Go Big Red, Aaron 7/9/09

Is Darrin alive? plus my girl Layla

Tyson & Josh

2010-05-20T18:54:00.003-05:00

Last year intense rival's Tyson Warm and Josh Mai battled all preseason long. Tyson openly mocked Josh about his strange love affair with the mega star Brandon Kinnie. Josh fired back saying Tyson didn't know jack shit about college football. Then the season started and Tyson dominated the titleless Josh. Tyson 1, Josh 0.

Now the question is who knows more about College Football? Vote on the poll now!

Tyson lands the TKO punch on Josh last year

Draft Order, Teams, etc.

2010-01-30T14:28:00.004-06:00

I have had many people say to start the draft May 1st. I love the idea. As for ideas on teams to add and kick out. A few to add I thought of are Arkansas, North Carolina, Iowa or Miami. To remove I thought of Clemson, Illinois, Mississippi, Auburn or Kansas.

any errors let me know asap...Troy had a damn solid team but is slowly fading after losing 2 of the best wr's anyone could have, Floyd & Broyles....no team has ever not won a game, Bryan is 0-6 and we still have hope for it....Frederick is staying alive with the one record spot but needs Tyson and myself to lose some games, especially Tyson. Tyson plays Kobza this week, I got Chris and Frederick has Beringer.

Note; Bryan has McCluster eligible for RB as he had 13+carries last week. If he gets 13+ again this week he will be a RB again next week. When or if he goes under the 13 he is back to a WR until he does it again. Oh and Fredericks lineup is not a mistake, he started THREE Oregon RB's none of which are even the starter. Bye weeks hurt him bad this week.

Now allow me to address the question of breaking down week ones games.... I will only comment on games I actually watched, which as you can see above was quite a few.....despite what the final score said Bama DESTROYED V-Tech, V-Tech is a joke and got a beat down....I expect Ohio State to show up vs USC this week, I don't put as much stock into the close game vs Navy as some....BYU is legit I think, they were handling OU before Bradford was knocked out. Now I think it would be awesome if OU somehow wins out going 11-1, BYU goes undefeated, there is one team undefeated abd everyone else has 2+ loses, who would go then OU or BYU???......Very surprised by ND's defensive showing, offenese doesn't shock me one bit as I absolutely expect Jimmy to be close to 40 TD's this year. They had 35 points on their first 6 possesions and then they go into jerk off mode which SUCKS for fantasy stats, if they wanted to it sure seemed they could have scored a good 20-24 more points. I think Michigan may beat them this week.....2 coaches who may be job hunting soon, Zooker and Dan Hawkins. Both teams are trash.

My 5th annual one team to make playoffs and one to miss...lets make it 10 for 10

Make: Chris......Miss: Tyson

And yes I had these picked before Thurs. game

Final...ballot's....are....seeeerved

2009-08-25T21:39:00.010-05:00

Tyson and Josh battle moments after the final poll is released

ALL TRANSACTIONS SO FAR: Josh adds John Chiles drops Marcus Wright, Bryan adds Oglesby drops J.Hemingway, Frederick adds Austin Jones drops D.Evans, Beringer adds Monte Ball drops Castille, Tyson adds Rodney Scott and Tuinei-Oregon and drops Catchings and Andrew Jones.

----Tyson/Beringer trade Jamal Berry for Danario Alexander

a few things....remember 4 teams make the playoffs this year....everyone gets 6 transactions this year, trades/adds count as one, trade deadline is week 4......schedule will be out soon....remember in order for a WR to gain RB status he must have 12 or more rushing attempts in a game to get it, he doesnt get 12 the next week he then loses his RB status. Also if it is announced a player is switching positions that would be another way. Basically we will monitor the few situations that arise and do our best to make the right call on these......Start putting in lineups right now if you want.....to the final ballot

As always I will include team write ups for each team from those of you who included them on your ballot

Tick, ranked #2, 3.81 average, 2 1st place, 0 last

If his first three RB's can stay out of the buffet line they will be fine. Mr. Johnson....mini Adian Peterson Chris whaley is coming for all your cheap TD's from a year ago!!!!!! His 4th and 5th round recievers are solid as I wanted both. He also had some good middle round picks and I feel Cierre Wood can make a little noise in irishland.

I really like this team, and the only thing holding me back was that his qb plays in the SEC. I know qbs have put up numbers in the past in the SEC, but the conference is known for their defense. I really like what he was able to do in round 5 and 6 with his receivers

Craig, ranked #1, 3.56 average, 2 first, 0 last

I hate to put him here because he seems to be a lock for a playoff spot each year, but he needs a lot of luck at the wr position to get some points. As always, he has the best depth at back, but he chose his qb with his heart instead of with his head. I have a feeling he will prove me wrong though...

Solid three at RB. I was eyeing Minor a bit but did not know if I wanted to taste all his pre season koolaid hype. J Thomas might be ok for ya as well. You are in the same boat as I in the WR department....someone please step up!

Josh, ranked #11, 8.36 average, o 1st, 3 last

Colt will be fine...but he could have done better than Ben Tate in the 2nd. I see a sharp decline, however knowone has any clue who will emerge for Ole Miss at RB...will bolden be the man?....not a bad 4th round pick...decent gamble. Wr's are fine...really like the Fayson pick as he might have better numbers than Benn this year. All in all I feel that his team will struggle with inconsistant play.....but if Brandon Kinnie puts up Dez like numbers than call me an idiot.

He was able to get the best qb then follow it up with 3 good backs and that will equal fantasy success for him. He has got a good #1 wr and needs to find a solid #2 to make a push for the top of the league.

I don't have much to say about his team. I always hear he is a fanatic but he never shows it with his draft.

Tyson ranked #12, 8.72 average, 0 1st, 3 last

I think I had him worst last year too, if I remember correctly. Masoli had a sweet bowl game last year and plays in the Pac 10, but I'm not completely sold on him being an early 2nd round pick. Great #1 back, but nothing else in the backfield...or at wide out.

tough call on who I think is the worst, could've been about 4 different teams. I'll give it to Tyson as Hardesy, McKnight, and Toston are gonna be part time players, and I don't see Quizz Rodgers putting up first round numbers. I don't think Masoli will keep up the pace he was on at the end of last year either.

Ballot part 3 of 4

2009-08-22T14:03:00.003-05:00

Final ballot will be released soon with the remaining 4 teams....The results will definitely surprise everyone I think. So far we got...

1. ? ? ?

4. Mike
5. Frederick
6. Troy
7. Kobza
8. Beringer
9. Bryan
10. Darrin
11. ? ? ?
12. ? ? ?

Chris Long ranked 3.....average rank was 4.18....3 1st place votes....0 last place

Best and Brown will both be studs if they can stay healthy and Pryor is gonna put up some nice stats in the shitty Big 10. Benn and and Lafell will both be good and I think Ford will end up starting at Illinois.

Chris- I thought I would be the only one who thought Pryor was a 3rd round qb. This guy will be drafted in round 1 next year. He's got 2 great backs, a great qb and a great wr in Benn. See you in the playoffs.

Troy ranked 6......average rank was 6.27....0 1st place votes....0 last

Top three teams were all very close as well. Ingram and Helu will both be solid, Floyd and Broyles will catch a ton, and Juice is a lot better in fantasy then real life. If lineups were only five players instead of six, he'd probably be my #1, but he doesn't really have a good guy to put in there as his flex.

I feel that Alabama is not going to live up to they're hype this year along with Ingram. Helu went a little high but he rebounded with a couple Recievers that have a ton of potential (Floyd,Broyles.) Juice is getting a lot of hype...but he will be inconsistant again this year because Zool is kind of a wizard. He completely wiffed on Dufrane in the 7th round but grabbed a stud in the 12th round in David Wilson.

Ballot part 2 of 4/Oatmeal

2009-08-16T22:28:00.008-05:00

Frederick ranked 5......5.27 average rank......3 first place votes......1 last place

Would've been a lot higher had Darren Evans not just torn his ACL. Still got Blount, but will need either of his Texas RB's to take over that #1 role. Otherwise, he will struggle.

He had a strong start to this draft in Blount but I see split carries for Va tech so Evans may have a falloff. I have a feeling Kansas will disappoint on O a little but play knowone with much D so he should be fine. Lance's favorite Notre Dame player ever "Golden Tate" will be fine....he does...Lance thinks he has the coolest WR name ever so loves the guy. The middle of his draft is weak as he did what I used to do which is a very bad habit...drafting multiple RB's off the same team. The Texas and Oregon backup RB's he took may not even hardly see the field...burning valuable middle round draft picks.

He's got a Big 12 qb, the top rb, a very solid #2 rb and 2 wrs that will consistently produce. He just needs to develop the swing position on this team and he will be the team to beat in this league.

Mike ranked 4.....5.18 ave rank......1 1st place vote....0 last place

I don't like most of his team after Bryant. Dwyer's gonna share touches with about four other guys in the backfield, plus all his other backs will be splitting time as well. Corp won't put up great numbers either as he will be more of a game manager for USC this year.

Got the best wr by far in round one, and totally worth it. If Corp is the starter for the whole year, then Mike's team jumps 4-5 spots, but I said 'if'.

Dez is the best WR in the league and Dwyer could push for 1,800 total yards. Corp may not start so it is good he got Barkley but USC will just have him "manage" games. Overall I don't like his team much cause of QB play and RB depth.

Kobza ranked 7.....6.45 ave rank......1 1st place vote....0 last place

Spiller seems to dissapoint every year and he's all in with Penn St's offense, which will not be nearly as good this year. I like his picks of Gresham and Anthony Allen though.

He was smart with goin with 3 straight backs with his first 3 picks, I like Royster better than Spiller and his team will ride on the shoulders of Daryl Clark.

Spiller is a question mark..royster will be fine....I have no clue on A Allen as G Tech has 50 RB's and if they sped it around like I hear they will then who knows what his numbers will be? Had a weak backend of the draft.....but Jordan Mackovicha will be solid in the 19th round.

The preseason poll will be released in a series of 4 differnt posts each containing numerous teams. Teams won't be released in order but there will be a method to it. Here is part 1 of 4.

Oh yeah I will include "team recaps" from people who included them in their votes.

Coming in ranked #9 is Bryan....6.63 ave rank...0 1st place votes....1 last place

I have no clue how his team will turn out?? I would have been picking a shit ton of young RB's in the middle rounds searching for some talent....Madu that early was a bad pick unless injuries happen for OU.

Waiting until round 4 to take your first rb is going to kill him, especially since it is the most important position in this league. Tebow is a stud, but will he be the fantasy stud of '07? Good work on the wr's, even though some talk of Briscoe being day to day lately.

To put it simply, not grabbing a RB in the first three rounds was a mistake. Has no stable RB's now and needs Caleb King to grab the brass ring and be a decent back. Will stay in the hunt with Tebow and McCluster. Better hope Briscoe decides to go to class too.
-------------------------------------------------------

Darrin ranked 10...7.36 ave rank....0 1st place votes....3 last place

Do not like Washington as his first back as I think his stats will take a massive hit this year. I think Stafon Johnson could have his best year and Rainey will be sporadic. Bradford and Shipley will give him most of his points.

I am in the minority in terms of D Washington having a really good year again...I feel he will and made a great pick that late in the 2nd...It was Washington or masoli for me at 9 coming down. Stafon Johnson was a pretty good pick in the 5th.

His top rb, qb, and wr are as good as they get in this league and will score a lot of points. If he can fill out the rest of his starting line up then he will make a strong push for the playoffs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Beringer ranked 8......6.54 average rank.....0 first place votes.....1 last place

Pretty solid team all around, but his RB's lack the big punch it will take to win this league. Really like his receivers as Meier will catch a ton and Tennell could be a stud.

I passed on Running Zac Robinson because I see a decline in his numbers this year. Hunter and TOSTON will run the ball a lot and I see them still as a run first team. I like the Castille pick in the 4th and bubba also had some nice middle round picks

First 2 picks are very solid and needs some #1 guys to under-perform or get hurt for Castille and Meier to put up some consistent numbers.

These are actual e-mails from Aaron Frederick. Word for word. You be the judge...

"For the record, I'm not afraid of technology. I just think texting is A) retarded and B) for girls. Nothing against e-mailing. That's all.....well, not yet---I also think Twitter, camera phones, GPS, and iPods are stupid too. Shoot me. I don't care. I'm a simple man. Give me a book and/or a compact disc and I'm pretty much a happy guy. "

#2 on iPods

"I've never owned one. Never wanted to. Never will. Ang has one and I think it's okay for when you're working out or something but that's about it. Just another fad. When I'm old I'll always have my albums----and I'll be able to pass them on to my boys. All the music you download on an iPod just inevitably goes away with nothing to show for it down the road."

Early prediction; 2010 March Madness 4/5 seed

2009-04-26T22:07:00.003-05:00

I'm guessing either a 4 or 5 seed with the news below on Manny and DeShawn. Two perfect players for UM--NBA quality but not good enough to leave early. So in turn UM gets around 7-8 years combined from them as opposed to a better player who is one and done.

DeShawn Sims and Manny Harris will return to the Michigan basketball team next season.

Coach John Beilein discussed the players' NBA prospects, and neither will declare for the NBA draft by Sunday's early-entry deadline.

Harris, who will be a junior, and Sims, who will be a senior, were generally regarded as no higher than second-round picks this year. The Web site draftexpress.com projects both as high second-round picks in the 2010 draft, if Harris leaves after his junior year.

Sims said in his statement he is on track to graduate next May, and Harris said there are parts of his game that still need to improve.

"Since the completion of our season, we have gathered enough information for everyone to feel good about this decision," Beilein said in a released statement. "I am anxious to see their continued growth, and I am excited to coach these two, as well as the rest of the team next season."

Harris and Sims were Michigan's two leading scorers and rebounders. The Wolverines will return most of their roster, losing only three point guards: David Merritt, C.J. Lee and Kelvin Grady.

The pair combined to score 1,130 points this season, 12th-best for a U-M duo. They led U-M to a 21-14 record and a first-round NCAA tournament win over Clemson. It was the program's first Big Dance appearance in 11 years.

Wonderlic Time

2009-03-22T22:24:00.003-05:00

One of my favorite times of the year is when Wonderlic scores come out. I know the Wonderlic doesn't really mean anything in the long run (I know this personally because Alex Smith scored a 40 on his, and look how well he's done for my 49ers), but it's still fun to learn who is smart and who is a complete dumbass. And man, do we have plenty of both for you.

First up, Matt Stafford proved that he's definitely pretty smart. Stafford scored a 38 on the Wonderlic which obviously boosts his stock. USC's Mark Sanchez scored 28 and Kansas State's Josh Freeman 27, which is about average for QBs.

Also scoring well was Maryland cornerback Kevin Barnes, who scored a 41. I just wish that Rhodes Scholar winner Myron Rolle, who put the NFL on hold to go to Oxford next year, had taken the Wonderlic. He might pull a Kevin Curtis on it if he ever takes it (Curtis scored a 48). By the way, Pat McInally, a graduate of Harvard University who played wide receiver and punted for the Bengals, is the only football player to record a confirmed perfect score of 50.

Now let's get to the dumbasses. There are a lot more of those.Seems the wide receiving core is especially stupid this year. Michael Crabtree of Texas Tech scored a 15, Darrius Heyward-Bey of Maryland scored a 14, and Percy Harvin of Florida scored a 12. Yikes. But don't worry, there was someone who was worse. Hakeem Nicks of UNC wowed everyone with an 11. A score of 10 suggests a person is literate, so at least all of the receivers can read this, I hope.

By the way, Jeremy Maclin of Missouri scored a 25, so he's like the Einstein of the receiving corps.A few other fools include linebacker Rey Maualuga, who scored a 15, and O-lineman Andre Smith, who continued his epic draft stock fall by posting a 17. Here are a few other scores for some top prospects.

Arizona's Eben Britton - 31 Virginia's Eugene Monroe - 24 Baylor's Jason Smith - 23 Ole Miss's Michael Oher - 19 USC's Clay Matthews - 27 USC's Brian Cushing - 23 Michigan's Louis Delmas - 12

The lowest score we know of remains Nicks, but so far it seems only Wonderlic scores for top prospects are out. I'm sure someone scored below a 10 this year, like Chris Leak's famous score of 8, or Vince Young's alleged score of 6. By the way, in case you were wondering, the lowest score ever on the Wonderlic came courtesy of Darren Davis, a running back from Iowa State who scored a 4.

If we find out about any players who are illiterate from this year's draft class, we'll be sure to let you know.Georgia's Matthew Stafford stands out with Wonderlic score. [Chicago Tribune]

CBSSports.com is again offering March Madness On Demand, streaming live all games of the NCAA men's basketball tournament for free. But as with all great technological advancements, it comes with a price of a different kind.

The network is thinking of rolling out a year-round Video On Demand feature that will include not only NCAA men's basketball tournament highlights, but also other college sports as well. This will of course dominate your every waking moment at work and enslave us all.

What sort of monster has CBS created? Last year the web site had 3.3 million unique visitors over the first four days of the tournament, which was up 129 percent for 2007. This year CBS predicts that online viewership will increase 50 percent overall to 7.2 million.

What effect this has on the nation's workforce is unclear. What is known is that the CBS site recorded nearly 3 million clicks on its "Boss Button" in 2008; that application on the site in which users can kill the speaker sound and jump to an Excel spreadsheet if a supervisor approaches their desk.
