Christian Ponder coveted by Bengals blogger
Interesting read about why Ponder should be the Bengals pick with their 2nd round pick (36 overall). Very complimentary of Ponder.
Three Players Leave Football Team
AJ Alexander, Jamar Jackson, and JuJuan Harley have left the team. More room for 2011 recruits.
Donovan to Manchester City?
How serious do you think this is? Will he be able to get playing time at Man City?
Ponder vs. Locker for Best QB Prospect
*Sorry if this has been posted. It is a couple weeks old. I looked but couldn't find it.
I think it is a decent analysis, but I think they concentrate too much on Locker's athletic ability and arm strength, traits that have proven to not be as important at the next level, if not combined, with knowledge and accuracy.
I'd still take Ponder before Locker.

$172k down the drain
ESPN reporting how much FSU spent to unsuccessfully appeal NCAA sanctions of stripping wins from various sports teams. (They focus on the Bowden wins obviously). $70k of booster money and $102k of state funds.
Gators picking up FSU scraps
According to Joe Schad's twitter, The Arizona DB coach is the leader to be new UF DC. They are really late in the game. Don't know anything about him, but I found this interesting. Does Urban have his hand in this or not?
Al Groh to GT as new D-Coordinator
What does everybody think of this? Has to be an improvement, but by how much?

Ok. This is my first fan post so I'll try and be interesting.
I was listening to the SVP (Scott Van Pelt) show today and they were discussing Alabama's 12 national championships and how they arrived at such a total. They referenced that in 1941 Alabama "won" a national championships based on their #1 ranking in the Houlgate System. So I decided to look up what that was. For those who don't know, it is some mathematical system a la the Sagarin Ratings. They also claim a national championship in 1934 based on a few mathematical rating systems. According to the SVP show in 1941 they were 3rd in the SEC and still claimed a national championship. In addition they said that one of Alabama's championships was awarded by a New Orleans pharmacist. (I was unable to track down any Tallahassee pharmacists) So based on this I went back to see if we are missing any "national championships". In fact we are:
1980: #1 in the Rothman(FACT) system (1968-present)
1987: #1 in the Berryman(QPRS) (1990-present, awarded retroactively)
1992: #1 in Sagarin Ratings (1978-present)
1994: #1 in the Dunkel System (1929-present)
1996: #1 in the Alderson System (1994-1998) - the only won we should have actually won.
So to summarize. Congratulations Florida State on your 7 national championships. I'm going to go print up some shirts with "Got 7?" on them.
If you would like to check other teams just look up NCAA Division 1 FBS National Football Championship on Wikipedia.
