"He's going to be on a little bit of a leash early," Edwards said. "He has to get his legs underneath him. Michael Bennett is healthy, and that's good. It gives us another runner. It's not all on LJ. ... He'll be fine the first two weeks because he knows he can't do (too much). We're protecting Larry. ... But the kind of guy he is, after Week 4, I know he's going to come up to me and say, 'I can carry it a few more times if you need me to.' Now it's 25 (times) and now it's 30 (times).

They are completely meaningless. I happen to be an alum and diehard Georgia Tech fan. I also happen to realize that worrying about how high your team is ranked is an exercise in futility.<BR/><BR/>I'll bet Michigan fans were more worried about only being ranked #5 then about their game against Appalacian State.<BR/><BR/>I'll bet Notre Dame was more worried about being unranked then about Georgia Tech.<BR/><BR/>Your ranking is only relevant if you finish the season with one loss. Otherwise, you're better off worrying about your next game because if you lose, no one is going to care about a meaningless number.<BR/><BR/>As for my NFL picks:<BR/>MVP: Drew Brees<BR/>ROY: Calvin Johnson<BR/>COY: John Fox<BR/>Super Bowl: Denver over New Orleans<BR/>With the first pick: The Miami Dolphins select Glenn Dorsey<BR/><BR/>Playoff Teams:<BR/>Denver, Indy, New England, Cinci, Pittsburgh, San Diego<BR/><BR/>Minnessota, New Orleans, Philly, Dallas, Seattle, Carolina, Green BayRichard K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03531910826978107037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-56258792947755246712007-09-05T11:44:00.001-04:002007-09-05T11:44:00.001-04:00Go here:http://rivals100.rivals.com/commitlist.asp...Go here:<BR/><BR/>http://rivals100.rivals.com/commitlist.aspCorrNDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15371462855078578516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-11413294300790201742007-09-05T11:44:00.000-04:002007-09-05T11:44:00.000-04:00chitown italian -- You are correct, Weis had succe...chitown italian -- You are correct, Weis had success in his first two years because of Willingham's recruiting. Willingham had reasonably strong recruiting classes in his first two years, but his recruiting success dropped off noticably in his third year and he didn't finish his fourth recruiting season. Willingham's recruiting problems were part of the reason he was let go.<BR/><BR/>Weis is now being screwed by Willingham's horrible recruiting in that third recruiting year (the current senior class). And Willingham's fourth/Weis's first was obviously screwed by the change in coach (the current junior class). Weis's second and third recruiting classes (the current freshmen and sophomores) were very strong classes -- just wait until they mature and get some experience.<BR/><BR/>If you doubt me, go here and compare the quality of the 2004 & 2005 classes (current seniors and juniors) to the quality of the 2006 and 2007 classes (current freshmen and sophomores). The difference is clear.CorrNDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15371462855078578516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-70128417103995046192007-09-05T11:20:00.000-04:002007-09-05T11:20:00.000-04:00Jeez Dan, Georgia Tech is ranking 21 for DESTROYIN...Jeez Dan, Georgia Tech is ranking 21 for DESTROYING Notre Dame.
