Lets talk Dynasty teams

kujo24 — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 01:10:44 -0000

Everyone knows the famous dynasty teams. The 70s Steelers, the Boston Celtics, and the Cleveland Browns are a few. All of these teams have their place in history as some of the most dominant teams in their time. All of them won multiple titles. Within a decade they all established themselves as winning teams.

The Florida Gators football team has done this. But are the Gators one of them? They have won 2 of the last 3 national championchips. They have dominated their conference in those two years. I don't think they would be a dynasty team yet. But with the possibility of a third title in 4 years, they may become one. The only thing in their way is themselves. Not many teams have the combination of talent and big game experience that the Gators do.

So what do you think? Could the Gators be considered a dynasty by the end of next year?

Will the Gators be a dynasty with a national championchip next year?

Florida Gators 2009 schedule

kujo24 — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 23:29:56 -0000

WIth a chance at a 2009 championchip in the Florida Gators sight, their schedule will be an important factor for them. Here is their scedule in order.

1.Charleston Southern 7. Arkansas

2.Troy 8. at Mississippi State

3. Tennessee 9. Georgia

4. at Kentucky 10. Vanderbilt

5. Bye Week 11. at South Carolina

6. at LSU 12. Florida International

13. Florida State

Looks to be a good schedule with a good bye week right in the middle of the season. I'm glad we have a bye week before LSU, because they seem to be a good team, but just struggled with consistency last year. You can't get a much better shedule for a national champion.

The BCS

kujo24 — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 20:09:20 -0000

I'm not going to preach how awful the BCS is, or how we "have to have" a playoff. I'm going to try to be as neutral as possible. But I am going to put in a few facts about the BCS, and what I think we should do if we were to have a playoff system.

Just remember, the BCS has signed a longterm contract with ESPN to show its bowl games. So it might not be as easy as it seems to change a system.

With the current BCS system, the conferences that get automatic BCS bids (the ACC, the Big East, the Big 12, the Big Ten, the Pac-10 and the SEC) are guarateed to get $18 million each year. While all of the other conferences earned $70 million each year. Some people claim that this is unfair to all of those other conferences. While other people (and the BCS) say that the money is distributed evenly, and that those other conferences are getting plenty of money. All teams are included in the BCS system that are over 6-6 and the playoff system may not be able to do this.

Under a new playoff system, you could have brackets like a basketball, or NFL league. The BCS officials say that while a playoff system looks good on paper, it wouldn't work in real life. You would have to find to many different nuetral sites to play at. It would be too hard to coordinate all of the different game times. THe added games could also bring more harm to the players. More games mean more wear and tear, and no teams want to add risk to a players health. However, this type of system would give many teams chances to reach a championchip. No undefeated teams would be able to claim that they were left out.

I think that the highest seeded team should be able to play at home, giving the best preforming team a slight advantage. This could be done up to the final four or championchip, where a nuetral site could be established with a bye week. All conference champions should be added, and the rankings would still be important. The regular season would still be a big deal, and you could have a decently fair playoff.

Feel free to point out anything I forgot.

Secondary depleated?

kujo24 — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 21:10:35 -0000

Is there really an excuse for what happened when we played Pittsburg? Ben Rothlisburger threw up and down the feild, he was just playing pitch and catch out there. When i was watching I kept saying, "theres no way hes gonna complete that pass".

Then the I see downfeild, and there is a reciever wide open with no one within ten yards of him. Is this the defensive coordinators mistake, the players mistake, or about half in half? Whatever the problem is, we need to fix it RIGHT NOW!!!! The Jags were known for a hard-hitting, hard-nosed defence. Now we look like the stock market, on the verge of bottoming out.

Somebody please tell me what happened! We don't look like AFC contenders anymore, we are struggling to stay in the race. We need to destroy the next 3 teams we face, and we will be right back in the mix.

Richard Collier

kujo24 — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 20:50:06 -0000

Richard Collier isn't going to be playing football.
"His agent announced that after 14 bullet wounds, Collier's left leg had to be amputated. He is paralyzed from the waist down."

I am greatful that he didn't die, but at the same time, I know that he won't be able to continue his livelyhood. He was a talented player, and now his talent has been taken away from him....

My thoughts and prayers go out to you Collier.

"Lights out" for Shawne Merriman

kujo24 — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 19:34:25 -0000

Shawne merriman has sustained a recent injury to hisleft knee. While his team says he will be fine for the year, Merriman thinks otherwise. He is going to Miami to see a specialist for his type of injury. They say that it may require surgury. He could be out for an entire year. with Merriman out, the Chargers Defence could drop significantly. While they will still be strong, they won't be the #1 fantasy team anymore. (And I have them starting!)

Shawne wants to protect his career for the future, but his team is presuring him to play. If he goes in now, and gets injured, when he wants to re-sign the team won't take him. They'll say that he's too injury prone.

On the upside, the Jaguars now have a chance to move up a notch in the AFC, they just need to step up.

Farve and the Jets

kujo24 — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 13:05:48 -0000

Guess what happened to the Farve "saga". He went to the Jets. Yes he has finally left the Packers. Now he can rack up the starts with the Jets. So, good luck Aaron Rodgers. I wonder what the Packers will do on opening day instead of retiring Bretts Jersey..... I think the talk is finally over, and we can move on to other stories. But I do need to ask....

So, do you think the Jets will be better with Farve?

Season Tickets

kujo24 — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 00:59:25 -0000

via football.ballparks.com

The Jaguars have not sold all their season tickets this year, although they have they sold a good number of them. The Jaguars have introduced a half season package this year. The Teal and Black packages haven't sold out either, but not many of them are left. Both packages have rivalry games in them and are worth $210.

Season tickets are a main source of income for any NFL team, and lately people have worried about the number of tickets they have been selling. They have sold a good number this year. The Jags have 1,100 season tickets left. 100 Black-Packs are left and 400 Teal. So hopefully this year we will be able to get rid of the rumors of moving to LA because we don't sell enough tickets.

So, how many more tickets do you think the Jags will sell before the preseason opener, which is August 9th?
