They won't go on sale until later this summer, so they can sell as many seasons tix as possible....

Actually, with Jason White at QB, Oklahoma threw 392 times in 13 games. It's pretty impressive that Brown didn't give up a single sack in that many attempts (although I believe Mike Williams had a similar stat at Texas his senior year ). http://www.soonersports.com/ViewArticle.db...0&ATCLID=109857

Doesn't look good for Ronnie... http://gobuffsgo.collegesports.com/sports/...ootbl-body.html

Maybe he borrowed a lawn mower! http://www.kbtx.com/sports/headlines/1471162.html West Texas A&M Suspends Football Coach Pending Probe Associated Press CANYON -- West Texas A&M football coach Ronnie Jones was been suspended with pay today amid allegations that he misused university resources. University President Russell Long says university police are investigating Jones. Athletic director Ed Harris says the investigation centers on allegedly inappropriate use of university equipment and resources. Harris said the allegations do not involve misuse of university funds, however. Harris says he hopes to have the investigation wrapped up in a couple of days. No comment yet from Jones.

Per ESPN Insider: Strengths: Is athletic and mobile. Has good initial quickness and balance. Has adequate speed, takes good angles as a downfield blocker and really shows good body control in space. His strength is in pass protection. He has just adequate height and bulk but he has longer arms and a powerful punch. He has great quickness in his pass pro set. Is very sudden in his movements. Shows a quick first step. Good leverage and body control in both areas. Stays balanced and shows very good body control when he works at it. Has excellent lateral movement skills. Is rarely beat by pure speed and shows the ability to mirror and slide versus the double move when he plays with leverage. He does a very good job in terms of hand placement and he has a jarring punch. His run blocking skills must improve but he does have good initial quickness and is able to consistently get in position on reach blocks. He has very good initial power and has the potential to develop into an efficient run blocker in the NFL if he becomes more physical. Weaknesses: He keeps getting bigger and stronger, but he does not have ideal bulk and he has just adequate height for an elite OT prospect. He is powerful in his upper body but does not have the massive frame to simply engulf smaller defensive ends in the NFL. Isn't nearly as physical or aggressive as he needs to be. Has the athleticism to play LOT but lacks experience at that position after playing ROT in college. Doesn't finish as well as he should as a run blocker. Mental capacity? Scored 13 on Wonderlic. Overall: Brown was a partial qualifier who was cleared by the NCAA as a true freshman but wound up redshirting in 2000 because of a knee injury anyway. He played as a reserve right tackle as a redshirt freshman in 2001 before taking over as a fulltime starter at right tackle as a sophomore in 2002. Brown has been a fulltime starter and first team All-Big 12 the past three seasons (2002-'04). Brown doesn't have elite size but he keeps getting bigger and stronger. He has excellent feet and good overall athletic ability, which is why he shows the potential to start at the LOT position in the NFL. Brown had his best season as a senior in 2004 and he's become a more technically sound and complete player. But despite his natural ability and success on the collegiate level, Brown could drop to the bottom of the first or the top of the second round due to concerns about his overall toughness and aggressiveness. Similar to Kenyatta Walker (oh no! ) (Buccaneers 1st round pick in 2001), there's a chance that Brown never reaches his potential in the NFL because he isn't the hardest worker or the most physical player that's why he's a big "risk-and-reward" prospect.

Who are you, the ghost of George Allen? This is a mediocre draft. I'll bet a #1 pick in 2006 is a whole lot more valuable than one this year. Anyway, you can never fix all of your problems in one fell swoop, so the Bills shouln't take the risk of mortgaging the future to try it now.

Thos pics make it look like she's auditioning for the Canadian Ballet. I wonder if she leaned some of those moves while she was growing up here.

At least until draft day, anyway. http://www.azcentral.com/sports/cardinals/...rade-ON-CR.html

Krumrie wrestled / worked out Hawthorn at UW on March 9th (with MM in attendance), so maybe the Bills like him as a replacement for PW. Anyone think he'll drop as low as the third round, where the Bills might be able to snag him? http://www.madison.com/archives/read.php?r...0:408172:SPORTS

Right on. If you ask me, the jury's still out on WM, to some extent. Last year was a great step forward for him, but he'll be under the microscope in training camp as we wait to see if he's got his speed/burst back. TD will have to find a good, complementary RB in the draft or on the FA market to give me a better feeling about our RB situation.

"Fire in the hole!" (Oh yeah, the game should be pretty good, too.) I can't wait for single game seats to go on sale for this one.

Yep, but I guess WM's no different than any other high profile player. They all know they can find someone to pony up the big bucks. If there's any kind of silver lining to that possibility, however, I still feel RB is the easiest position to replace. If WM wants to be paid like the #1 RB in the league in 2007, then TD should be able to package him in a nice deal that benefits both sides.

I just saw on PFW that Hawthorne tested positive for weed, so his draft position may be falling. http://www.profootballweekly.com/PFW/NFLDr...5/drugtests.htm PFW has learned that four players have tested positive for marijuana use, including one potential first-round pick. DT Antaaj Hawthorne was one of two Wisconsin players, along with OG Jonathan Clinkscale, to have tested positive for the drug at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis in late February. Hawthorne, whom scouts have graded anywhere from the first to fourth round, could be the most adversely affected by the results. One of the biggest knocks on Hawthorne is that he plays lazy, takes snaps off and does not give great effort on every down, despite his natural physical talent. The test results could give scouts a reason to explain his effort." Tim Krumrie and MM worked out Hawthorn at UW on March 9th, so maybe the Bills like him as a replacement for FatPat: http://www.madison.com/archives/read.php?r...0:408172:SPORTS

For God's sake, the depth chart's a piece of paper right now! Chill out at least until the draft (or even the June 1 cuts) are over.

Looked up Sullivan's name in the dictionary and found it at definition #5: http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=tool

Good-bye.

I wonder what the heating bill runs... I wouldn't be surprised if it's $5,000-plus.

A clear setback to Darwinian theory.

Yep. I'm sure all the home team fans will pronounce it that way when his team's playing on the road.

Dang, now there's a name that has a lot of endorsement possibilities! I hope this guy makes a roster this year, just so I can have the pleasure of hearing his name once in a while.

Well, I'm sure Mac and Barbara are fine folks, but I wish they'd instilled those good [football] decision-making skills in DB a little more...

My take's just the opposite. TM's probably put the kabbosh ony any interest another team might have had in him for a GM role (which has become much more about cap management/finances and less about scouting in recent years): "I like being on the road. I like doing what I do. I think I'm good at it. If I don't get out enough (I'm not happy). And if you take that job you can't be out (scouting on the road) that much. . . .

Hope not.

Yet another reason why chimps and keyboards are never a good mix: http://sports.espn.go.com/golf/masters05/n...tory?id=2034391 "Just ask the Buffalo Bills. Losing stinks, but coming in second place is even worse, especially the way you do it."

Beauty!
