Its like that at any big, competitive school. A question though, when you make this claim, have you been in any of the classes where the majority of the students are football players? Tthey tend to be rather easy.

I don't know. I really don't. I'll probably end up getting one eventually, but not at first.

Heh, except that there are so many damn commercials, but the middle of the 1st quarter, everyone starts yelling at the orange-arm parrot network guy. At least in the games that I've gone do. Its less soaking-up ambience, more "damnit, hurry up". The other thing that I do like to do is get score updates from other games around the league.

Your #2 RBs names rhyme!

Uh no. It's not work study, and they aren't being paid fair market value. You know why this happens? Because they are worth a helluva lot more then free tuition. And if you think they're getting a first-class education at any of these Universities, I've got a bridge to sell you. They are not on a typical degree plan by any stretch of the imagination.

I find it ridiculous that they don't get paid. A lot of these problems would go away too if that was the case. You perform a service for the University, its a job, you get paid. Sports is a business, it isn't just for fun like people had hoped back in the day. Pay the damn players already.

A wireless voting system? Christ.

Diebold isn't exactly great with security. In order to access the results, you need a 2-digit code to manipulate the votes. 2-friggin-digit code which is entered in a keypad, and you can change every damn vote in the machine, which uses an MS Access database, and stores 3 seperate sets of votes. Yeah Tom, given enough time and resources any computer would be able to be hacked into. But the Diebold voting machines have been altered in about 5 minutes length, by removing one screw from the damn thing to get access to a memory slot. If people don't want a paper record, fine. But there needs to be *some* type of repository in these machines that can only be accessed by the chairman of the election in each area that these machines are in, and that aren't alterable very easily. Hell, you could use CD-Rs if you want. Wouldn't exactly be efficient to count the votes, but you get the idea. According to Diebold's Rebuttal, their physical security is as follows: Yeah... thats gonna do a lot of good when you find out that "hey, someone tampered with the machine, what do we do now?" Seeing as how theres no paper trail, genius Diebold, there is no record of what the votes actually should be. Are you going to just throw the votes out? Christ, I can see it now, in 2008 Republican or Democratic party fanatics drive into opposing territory and break the seals on voting machines. Well, can't count the votes, so there goes that election.

Yeah, USC is innocent in the whole thing.

Best quote of the article:

I'd take the Chargers versus Tennessee anyday.

Uh, people, the site is PFT. P F T You know, that website with a shining example for a track record?

Actually, given the number of commercials there are during football games, its really not that bad.

The Seminoles I think are the big disappointment this year. I thought they'd be the class of the ACC. That being said, it's down to Florida State and Va Tech this year in the ACC. Whoever wins out will be in the championship hunt. Really, college football this year outside the SEC and possibly the Big 10 is about one team from each conference, and a bunch of followers. I thought the SEC was overrated last year with the amount of press attention they were receiving. This year, though, there is no doubt how good the conference is.

I agree with your sentiments, except that we might lose a few this year. Our schedule is just easy outside of Ohio State.

We need a company other then Diebold to design one.

You must be watching too much Alex Jones, lolz. All I have to say is... thank God I go to the University of Texas at Austin.

Wut do u mean by that? Teachers saying that all the time? If so, I'd say quite the opposite.

Thats !@#$ed up. She should lose her job for that comment, hands down. By the wya, where does it say a teacher said Bush caused 9/11?

My rankings: 1.) Pittsburgh 2.) Jaguars 3.) Ravens 4.) Bengals 5.) Falcons 6.) Eagles 7.) Colts 8.) Seahawks 9.) Bears 10.) Patriots 11.) Carolina 12.) Chargers 13.) Giants 14.) Rams 15.) Vikings 16.) Cowboys 17.) Cardinals 18.) Dolphins 19.) Bills 20.) Tampa Bay 21.) Broncos 22.) Saints 23.) Redskins 24.) 49ers 25.) Chiefs 26.) Lions 27.) Browns 28.) Jets 29.) Titans 30.) Texans 31.) Raiders 32.) Packers

Why not Carl Mauck? I'd think he'd be rather... entertaining.

Brooks is an interesting character. He can be a good QB at times and he can be quite the bonehead. Consistency anyone?

Stallworth is really that good, at least I think he is. He always showed great signs on the Saints of being a prime time player stuck on a bad team. However, take this with a grain of salt. Stallworth is a good player, but that doesn't mean that he'll be consistent. So while he might be underrated as an NFL player, I'm not so sure he's underrated as a fantasy football player. I don't think week 1 will be an indication of the whole season for him. All in all, he's a big question mark right now. I'd say it really depends on the offers and who else you have on your team. Are the offers just Santana Moss or Darrell Jackson straight up? DJ I would not do given the addition of Branch. Santana Moss straight up for Stallworth is probably a wash at this point.
