SOWAL NCAA pick'em

[Beach Runner]

At least we smacked the crap out of the basketball team - and we actually suck at that too

btw, sorry about Tebow's hand - but you can't blame us, since none of our players actually attempted to touch him all night.

Hubby told me about the game -- he was afraid it was a bad omen for last Saturday.

Yeah, amazing TT can play through the pain. Of course, the drugs help.;-)

Now Arkie that wasn't nice. ;-) Seriously though do you think he will be a good choice or were you being sarcastic.

Even though I am a UT alum, my money right now is in Oxford and so is my season tickets? I would love a good game to go with the party.

Not being sarcastic. I was ready for a change at Arkansas, but I still respect HDN and believe that he will be very good for Ole Miss. IMO, he won the war with he Nutt-haters in Arkansas. He received a very large severance, got a salary increase, stays in the SEC and still at a school that is close to his family home of Little Rock. Best of wishes to him and his family, EXCEPT when he plays the HOGS!

Lots of head coach jobs open and lots of head coaches looking, all with a pocket full of $ from their las gig.

I think Ole Miss having a "pay for performance" system is great. They should all pay a living wage (Say $100k) and a substantial amount of bucks per win, playoff, bowl, etc.

Add to that some incentives for players to keep their noses clean (Stolen pillows, radios, etc) and graduation rates, then you got your self an incentive program.





Trouble is, no one would be crazy enough to take it.

Tebow has to win Heisman
For the third time this year, I covered a Florida game for Westwood One Radio. This one was a little painful as I watched them crush Florida State and my old man 45-12.
What I did get to see ? again ? is one of the most phenomenal years by a college quarterback in the history of the game. Tim Tebow is not just the best choice for the Heisman Trophy, he is the only choice. No football player has ever done what he has this year. He has thrown for more touchdowns than Matt Leinart and run for more touchdowns than Ron Dayne.
Darren McFadden might have had a great year as a tailback, but Tebow has had the greatest year ever as a dual-threat quarterback. It doesn't matter that he is just a sophomore and no sophomore has ever won the award. He had a better year than anyone else in any class. We don't need to make him wait until he is a junior because if things go right for the Gators, he won't duplicate the numbers that he had this season. In fact, if Florida finds the tailback that they need to get back into the championship hunt, Tebow will be able to let someone else run between the tackles all day.
This year he did it all by himself. This year he did it better than it has ever been done before. This year, he did it better than it may ever be done again.
This year, he deserves the Heisman Trophy.

Well there you have it.....

A lousy commentator who was even a poorer coach.....who only got a break to coach because of his name.....

If tubby bowden says so it must be right.....

 

[Beach Runner]

You mean, the "Pillsbury Doughboy."

Nevertheless, sounds good to me! I'm buying his logic!

Tebow may get the award, but it doesn't mean he is the BEST player in college. It means that the media did a great job hyping "superman"....

Facts: 85% of Tebow's running TD's were 5 yds or less. He had RB/TB capable of that, but Florida was padding HIS numbers....
In his losses he was average, but not spetacular.
Did HE beat the number one team (LSU)? Nope....If fact, his numbers were average. THEY shut him down.

Now let's look at DMAC. Tied the SEC rushing record for a single game. The vandy player did it out of conference, DMAC did it against an SEC team. Herschel and Bo never did that. DMAC will be only behind Herschel in SEC rushing after the bowl game. Not Faulk, Not Jackson. DMAC set an SEC record in all purpose yards for a single season. Not Herschel, Not Jackson, Not Superman Tebow. DMAC had over 200 yds rushing against the number one team in the nation and against a defense that had been allowing less than 110yds/game. DMAC WILL be the first pick in the NFL selections. Tebow won't next year or if he stays, his senior year. DMAC has played RB, QB, WR all with success this year....has Superman Tebow?

I like Tebow, but he is hyped way too much through the media.....Look at his record against the better teams and he is average....lot's of padding of his stats with the softer teams.....that would include FSU (Florida School of the Blind and Aging)....

Oh and by the way...DMAC has had hair-line fx ribs since game 2 of the season and has had a concussion this year, yet still put up these accomplishments....

Tebow also accomplished his feats with a team that has been in the top 10 recruiting for the past 4 years.....DMAC accomplished his results with a team that has been in the top 30 in recruiting for the past 4 years....More accomplished with less supporting cast.

 

[Beach Runner]

Only time will tell.

 

[Arkiehawg]

you are correct that time will tell....but hey....what about all of the "I'm buying his logic" that you were touting.....? Tell me, what you believe Tebow has actually done to deserve the Heisman?
