To me, the single biggest thing that I look for in a President is the ability to surround himself with good people whom he can trust to make solid decisions for him. As much as the POTUS guides policy, his aides are the ones that shape this policy. Unfortunately, we don't get to vote on an entire Cabinet. At this time, we've truly seen one major decision made by each POTUS candidate. In some ways, the VP serves in an advisory role - and I subscribe to the theory that the VP should help fill a void in the POTUS's resume. Let's take a look at this from my left-leaning glasses: OBAMA: Greatest weakness is a perceived lack of experience, particularly in the areas of Foreign Policy and National Security. Choice: A long-term Senator familiar with the ins and outs of government, currently the leading figure in Foreign Relations in the legislative branch of the government, and a well-respected man. MCCAIN: Greatest weakness is a perceived notion that he is a same-old same-old of the last 8 years. Choice: A virtual unknown with no Washington experience in any capacity; some experience with change at the state level. From that view, i don't think she was the WORST McCain could have done, but we'll have to see if they can frame their ticket as a team as well as Obama-Biden did this week - that'll be the key to me.

actually, isn't Vilma the exception to the stereotypical Miami player? I remember hearing how involved he is in the community, and how he has a degree, etc. etc.

I think right now, he's a second round pick....if he has a great day at his pro day, he may shoot up more. He was the MVP of both the Outback Bowl (vs. Tennessee) and the Senior Bowl. Another thought that goes against my PSU bias - if we get our thunder guy via FA - Antonio Pittman of Ohio State is an underrated running back as well. He has great speed, and just went out and played well for the Buckeyes the last two years. He's probably closer to the 3rd round, but another option.

You're right - they're all terrible. Especially that guy in Kansas City.

But, if somehow, Marv & co. can trade down to get Posluzny later in the 1st, then Tony Hunt in the 2nd, I would be one happy camper. Not to mention, it would be a very good fit for this team: Penn State is the king of bend don't break defense (the college equivalent of the Cover-Two) - and Tony Hunt played behind one of the crappiest O-lines in the Big Ten - and still managed to push the line forward. Get him in here with a speedy change of pace back, and I think he's a good fit too...

I think I would. The Bills still have the first round and either theirs or the Ravens 3rd round pick, to fill their other needs in the first day. He's young, hungry, knows the NFL....if the Bills can somehow pull this off, and essentially trade McGahee and a second round pick for turner, a 3rd and a 7th - that's not too bad.

exactly....

That's right - how could I forget...he's got "Southern Speed"...

A place not listed on there is Sports Cafe - College and Burrowes. For old penn state heads - its the old Pizza Hut.

No money was exchanged. Do you REALLY think that the NFL wants a playoff without its marquee player??? In a game where not that much of the nation was seeing it, including the home market, they could easily get away with questionable calls. And lets be honest, the NFL doesn't exactly have the greatest track record. See Super Bowl XL...

actually, i'd say the teams in general are pretty similar - good defenses, with great linebackers and a young, up and coming secondary, a QB with all the tools that can't put it together, and no one's sure if its because the o-line stinks, the QB stinks, or both. AND - the olines are the worst. it makes for frustrating weekends sometimes...

Um....Howard Dean is the head of the Democratic National Committee....are you now gonna claim that CNN/ABC didn't have on the Republican National Committee head? otherwise, your argument is still flawed.

small gloves???

until he meets P-A-U-L P-O-S-L-U-Z-N-Y. and that goes for both qbs you all mentioned.

Has anyone on the board been to either Aventura Spa Palace or Secrets Capri Riviera Cancun? We're going on our honeymoon at the end of march and are trying to figure out which one to go to. Thanks so much!

Paul, may you eternally rest in peace...

Michigan also has to go into Happy Valley AT NIGHT - ask all the tOSU fans here how fun that is? Also, though - Michigan wins all 3 - I think they'll have a nice strong resume..

There just happens to be a Lacrosse team party at Duke those exact same nights. Which would you choose??

yeah I live and breathe PSU football too - and I 100% agree completely with that statement. He also roomed with Zemaitis (rochester boy) and Robinson - so his roommates were the two captains. Knowing what he's gone thru, I'm sure we'll get a great effort out of him, if nothing else.

hehe...quite possibly - although I think this fall's game is gonna be closer than next fall in Happy Valley. PSU has a LOT of speed at the skill positions, and I think this game is gonna be a shoot-out, with all the new defensive players that PSU's got (and ND's porous defense to boot). And again, ask anyone about the Ohio State game last year how much of a difference that crowd can make...heck, you can ask half our draft/free agent class about that.

I will promise you this - If he is good enough to start as a true freshman, he's DEAD in his second game out.....a possible night game in front of 110,000 ANGRY Penn State fans with a team that I think may be a serious 2007 national title contender. that'll be one night you domers won't forget - just ask Troy Smith, AJ Hawk, et al..

They were....have you been to west, north, or northeast Philadelphia before???

I knew a lot of people who quit the meterology program at Penn State because its too hard. A couple actually ended up in what I got my degree in (civil and environmental engineering) after quitting meteo. GREAT GREAT GREAT program but quite difficult.

Mmm...peachy paterno....chocolate peanut butter milkshake....ice cream with so much fat they can't sell it off campus....mmmm...
