And who they picked is a huge part of that equation

Wait until September and then threaten he'll, they will fold and give it for free

I know that it is just one game, but if anyone watched Texas and OSU play in the Alamo Bowl last year you would be very excited about Goodwin. The dude blew up that game with 2 huge TD catches. Blazing speed

I am out in Portland, OR and on the local sports talk this afternoon they had a segment dedicated to ESPN Sports Science director (forgot his name). He detailed a study that they do each year on the top 32 draft prospects from each position. They put them through a battery of tests, metric type tests, to evaluate them based on a formula way different then combine type stuff. Real nerdy stuff. They end up grading out the prospects based on these tests. For QB's I remember a few of the categories (release point, velocity, decision making, and a bunch of physical/explosiveness tests). It was really interesting what they came up with for results. The most striking was that they have not missed (in 4 years) in predicting top talent positionally. For example they correctly identified the last 3 Defensive rookie prospects (Suh, Von Miller, and Keuchly). He flat out, without reservation, said that EJ was far and away the best QB in this class, and it wasn't even close. He applauded the Bills pick and where they took him. They had EJ score a 90 which put him between Andy Dalton and Big Ben, who have also taken the SS tests. I read somewhere on the board that the draft is about managing where you take players in different rounds. I completely disagree - I think it is about getting the best player at a position of need (when you are a team like the Bills). I think we absolutely did that with the EJ pick...here's to hoping that SS is right for another year!

If there was going to be suspensions coming those players wouldn't be playing now, simple as that, otherwise those wins would be vacated and jimmy wouldn't want that

That is a great move for the Donkeys, and Welker will now get to play with the other greatest QB our this generation. Not bad on his part either - he will stay highly productive in Manning's system

That's really cool, and I agree with you

Well that would be awesome! And hopefully will get this thread back on track to SU hoops

Hammersticks, Portland and Seattle are such cool cities..very different from the east coast (I grew up in the Cuse). I would leave a day just to check out the coffee shops, music stores, and simply walk around...Also I am sure that there is a cool "pub tour" like they have here in Portland. Prepare for the NW mellow my friend, people out here drive 10 below the speed limit and quit work at 3:30!

I was one, in Cazenovia, NY...probably sucking on the teet or with a poopy diaper.

I live down in Portland, but have enjoyed Seattle a bit over the past 10 years. El Gaucho steakhouse is unbelievable...expensive but a real treat. Excellent food and excellent service as well. I haven't personally been to it but I hear that the rock and roll museum is pretty cool as well (sort of on the south part of the city). If you had a vehicle I would also recommend a drive out on the olympic peninsula - it is beautiful

That was one of the funniest videos that I have seen recently...love the parts where Brady is whining.

If he wasn't on the bus then it is highly unlikely that he will play. Bummer

I would love to know who your "sources" are because you are normally spot on with Cuse bball news

As a father of three, two of whom are in elementary school, I cannot fathom the pain of this. What the hell is wrong with people?

Watching that game the other night, it was unreal how the refs jobbed the Texans, especially in the first half.

Do they even have room to sign another for 2013? Is Jimmy counting on multiple guys leaving for the NBA

Exactly, hope that they don't do that again anytime soon. No reason to leave the dome until January...I don't care what Gottlieb says about it

I think that it is really tough to get an kind of accurate gauge of the team from this game. The conditions were terrible, even hard to watch on TV because of the wind and the sun. A few of my thoughts - 1. Need to see more Coleman, not sure why he got the early hook in both halfs 2. MCW needs to slow down and let the offense develop, he seemed to be pressing/hurrying and it created a lot of TO's 3. Triche is a beast, he will have the ball at the end of games this yeaer 4. Xmas and all our bigs looked enormous out there and controlled the paint 5. So many foul calls, and not many for the Cuse 6. SDSU has a very athletic team, they will be good this year especially in the conference they play in. But the Cuse made them look terrible - we have a talented team and Jimmy needs to be the one to put that together and make it work. 7. I hope this is the last game Cuse plays on a boat...get back to the dome. 8. Seth Davis commented on twitter that a bunch of scouts noticed Coleman as being the most NBA ready prospect from either team in practices this week - thought that was interesting.

He must be different in the locker room and practice. How much of an ass kicking do you think Scoop received over the 6 years he played?

There's a reason they call him Big Ball's Chip

That is interesting about Noel. He seems like a huge talent that comes with a huge ego. And if we can keep Coleman for more than a year than I would rather have that anyway. I love the start of SU basketball because it takes away the sting of 12 years of Buffalo bills losing. It is about this time of year that they have played their way out of relevance.

Pooj, I am pumped for Sunday to see Xmas and Coleman on the floor together. I cannot believe Coleman's size for a Frosh. On a side note, I caught that UK all access on espn and was completely impressed with Nerlens Noel. So wish we could have gotten that one and done.

Well, we always wanted good lines during the last 13 years and now we have them. I for one am thrilled!

What is the screen size and quality? I love my macbook pro...and would seriously consider that swap
