Since Rutgers is the only big Six Conference school anywhere close, Rutgers should be able to field a strong team every year simply by recruiting in their own backyard (frequently pillaged by PoSU, btw). As a result, Rutgers should be able to take this momentum and move forward and be competitive for at least the next decade if they play their cards right.<BR/>Wake Forest, on the other hand, shares NC with the three schools in the Triangle, and have a hard time attracting talent outside their state, especially since<BR/>5) Wake Forest has the highest graduation rate of any I-A school.<BR/><BR/>While I root for Rutgers due to my upbringing and my friends that went there, this race shouldn't even be close. Schiano gets the press because Rutgers *could* have finished undefeated, but what Grobe has done in Winston-Salem is historic.<BR/><BR/>But kudos to both coaches (so far) in staying with the schools instead of moving on to greener ($$$) pastures.Christian Thomahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16552580025935909875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1166652568875367512006-12-20T17:09:00.000-05:002006-12-20T17:09:00.000-05:00How much do you think they had to pay Harry Calas ...How much do you think they had to pay Harry Calas to say <I>"How do you roll - Bling or No Bling?

I wish the coaches would give up on the TD pass record for this year and just call smart plays in the red zone. They are asking a guy who takes a lot of bad chances anyway to make 10+ throws a game down near the goal line, where there is no room for error. No wonder he has 44 Ints in 2 years.<BR/><BR/>Now Shanoff wants to trade Favre for Tarvaris Jackson? Wow, Dan, your hate for Favre is limitless. Hate to tell you Dan, but as mediocre-to-bad as Brett has been over the last 2 years, he still is better (at 37 yrs old) than a lot of the QBs in the league.<BR/><BR/>The pick?

If they've already checked out until 2007 (and switching QBs is a signal to players to do so), they have little chance.<BR/><BR/>As for the Packers playcalling, hopefully the coaches will realize that 8 TDs in 2 games is too steep a target to aim for, and go back to the sort of playcalling we saw at San Francisco and Minnesota (i.e. not going Pass-Pass-Pass(INT) in the Red Zone). If so, that increases their odds of winning, even if the Vikes refuse to roll over.Christian Thomahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16552580025935909875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1166647582536711262006-12-20T15:46:00.000-05:002006-12-20T15:46:00.000-05:00chrth, I did it and it gave my the NEW YORK F'N Gi...chrth, I did it and it gave my the NEW YORK F'N Giants, as a Boston sports fan there is no way in hell that I could root for any New York Team unless they are playing the Yankees.<BR/><BR/>My prediction:<BR/>2 TD's out of Chester Taylor<BR/>Vikings roll 24-7CMFosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05291296862033162143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1166646547187447212006-12-20T15:29:00.000-05:002006-12-20T15:29:00.000-05:00Has everyone seen this?http://playoffs.nfl.com/ban...Has everyone seen this?<BR/><BR/>http://playoffs.nfl.com/bandwagon/<BR/><BR/>It has a ridiculously long load time and pointless graphics, but I persevered.<BR/><BR/>It gave me Saints.Christian Thomahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16552580025935909875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1166646489897787672006-12-20T15:28:00.000-05:002006-12-20T15:28:00.000-05:00Favre has 1 year left likely.Jackson has possibly ...Favre has 1 year left likely.<BR/>Jackson has possibly 8-9 years.
