Gahnki's Farewell

Some of you may remember the conversation on DBN about the lack of an Ohio State blog on the SportsBlog Nation platform. Well, that's about to change. Along with the person who runs Buckeye Football Analysis and some help from another friend, I will be running the new SBN Ohio State blog. This means the retirement of gahnki, and a migration of time from DBN to the new blog. Things have been quite hectic already, with the planning and becoming acquainted with the platform architecture. We'll be launching within the next few days, so this is farewell for now. Even if you're not an Ohio State fan, stop by on the first few days and say hello. Since we're a new blog, starting up from the ground floor without a reader-base, we're going to need all the readers we can get.

Gahnki's Farewell

In the next few days, I will be retiring gahnki forever and moving forward under my real name. SportsBlog Nation has handed me and another the reigns to the new Ohio State blog. We should be up and running within the week, and I wanted to say farewell to a great blog before that happens. Of course, it's not really a farewell, but I will be spending much less time here now that I have to take care of my own site. It's been fun, TN, and I'd like to thank Bud for his help in putting this Buckeye blog together. It quite literally would not have happened without him. So farewell for now, and feel free to stop by once the site launches. We've been super busy planning, and we're going to need some readers!

goes to Gene Collier of the Pittsburgh-Post Gazette, for this idiotic article regarding Big Ten expansion.

He starts off with some odd reference to a game show, only to lead into a pseudo-emotional appeal about Wall Street and putting people out of work. Mr. Collier does not seem to recognize college athletics for what it is- a business.

This doesn't directly pertain to FSU per se, but I've noticed the distaste for Finebaum on this site before, and it still relates to expansion, although in a childish, juvenile sense.

The piece itself is drivel, illuminating the fact that Finebaum lacks basic economic sense (22 Million > 17 Million), but what is interesting is the apparent lack of recognition the SEC Media has regarding expansion.

He's from my neck of the woods, so I thought I'd alert you guys.

UNC is probably his best offer so far, along with Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, and Stanford.

Feel free to look back at the original picks here. I believe I accurately tabulated the results, but the process was incredibly tedious, so there is a chance I made a mistake.

Dawgs By Nature 2010 NFL Draft Projections

This is something I used to do as a kid. My family would all make predictions on how the draft would turn out, pick by pick, for the first round. I figure this will be a fun way to prove our draft expertise individually. To clarify, this is what you think WILL happen, not what you think makes the most sense for each individual team.

The person who gets the most picks right shall be crowned Dawgs By Nature Draft Champion.

Here is the draft order. Just copy + paste the following and fill out the player's name and position like so:

  1. St. Louis- Sam Bradford, QB
  2. Detroit-
  3. Tampa Bay-
  4. Washington-
  5. Kansas City-
  6. Seattle-
  7. Cleveland-
  8. Oakland-
  9. Buffalo-
  10. Jacksonville-
  11. Denver-
  12. Miami-
  13. San Francisco-
  14. Seattle - from Denver-
  15. New York Giants-
  16. Tennessee-
  17. San Francisco-
  18. Pittsburgh-
  19. Atlanta-
  20. Houston -
  21. Cincinnati-
  22. New England-
  23. Green Bay-
  24. Philadelphia-
  25. Baltimore-
  26. Arizona-
  27. Dallas-
  28. San Diego-
  29. New York Jets-
  30. Minnesota-
  31. Indianapolis-
  32. New Orleans-

IMPORTANT- Please refrain from discussing your picks in this thread.  The clutter will make it too challenging to go back and count up the totals. [whisper] This includes whispering. [/whisper]

Also, please get your picks submitted by Wednesday April 21st, the day before the draft. I wanted to post this now to give everyone a fair amount of time to mull things over before you submit your picks.

In the event of trades during the draft, the picks will be graded based upon the NUMERICAL POSITION they were chosen. That means, if you have Eric Berry going to the Browns at #7, you will still receive a point even if the Browns trade out of 7 to another team, as long as said team still selects Eric Berry.

It would be helpful if you recced this to the top as well.

There were some rumors that the Browns were interested.

Here's an interesting site to keep an eye on for the draft. The guy who runs it is a former scout for the Ravens and Browns. His twitter feed is interesting as well and he's down in Indianapolis now.
