Not sure why I have been reluctant to post anything lately, maybe just my way of coping with football season ending.
Today was the day where all the high school stars could sign and fax (funny) their letter of intent. The Florida Gators appear to have collected the best class, if the myriad of experts are correct. Texas, Oklahoma, Alabama, Auburn and Southern Cal all had great classes too. Even Florida State looks like they may have a top 10 haul.
If you have a more than a couple of birthdays, you know that many of the kids who signed today will not make it to campus, or will not last very long. Academics will be the first filter and many kids will go the Juco route. Here in the sunshine state, you can also expect a few high potential kids to get arrested before their college career ever gets started. All the negatives are there, but all in all it is an exciting time. At least it get college football back in the media.
Tebow had the flu or something last week, and did not look very good at the Senior Bowl. I'm pulling for the guy, but the critics who don't like his throwing motion have valid points...
I'm pulling for the Saints in the SuperBowl. I pulled for them against Farve and the Vikes and I'd like to see them win on Sunday night. I don't expect them too however. Peyton Manning may very well be the best professional quarterback EVER! He epitomizes the cerebral QB, but in addition to his smarts, can make EVERY pass that is needed. Manning just figures out how to adjust and beat the defense. Oh, and for the record, while he was at Tennessee, he NEVER beat the Gators :) This SuperBowl should be a shootout, because Brees and the Saints can score too. Just think the Colts and Peyton will be a little too much...something like 38-30 Colts.
