The Heisman Predictor: Week 13

Can someone with ESPN Insider access please post Ryan McCrystal's latest article here? Of course we all know the situation, the Heisman is Colt's to lose, much to that chagrin of Stanford/Pac-10 fans, but I'd like to read the article anyway.

Thanks BONers!

This sounds familiar...

Former OU standout Dan Cody is apparently making headlines this morning for getting into a fight with a teammate during OTAs.

This is truly a non-story as far as I'm concerned, but as I was reading it, I couldn't help but to think it all sounded too familiar. I could be wrong on this, but wasn't Cody involved in that bar fight between a couple of OU players a few years ago?

Maybe someone out there has a better memory about this than myself.

Malcom Kelly

How stupid is this guy? Watch this video of his interview after the special day they set up for him to work out since his thigh prevented him from working out at the Combine or OU's Pro Day.

Talk about reciever's syndrome, this guy's got it bad. The part I found most interesting was when he brought up his missing the bowl game. I'll paraphrase a little here:

Kelly: People kept asking me, you know, whether i sat out the bowl game because I had decided to go pro, you know what I'm saying? Look what might've happened...I'd still be rehabbing and stuck here for another year, know what I'm saying? My family, blah blah blah.

It'll be funny watching this jackass fall down the boards come Draft day.

2008 NFL Draft

orangeblood1 — Sun, 02 Dec 2007 00:55:10 -0000

Ok, I know that the draft is quite a ways away still, and the 'Boys have, eh-hem, Super things to care of this season. Still, this being championship Sat. in college football, along with the other diary posted earlier, has got me thinking about the draft.

I just want to get a feel for what everyone thinks the team's needs are. Who do you think we should go after to fill said needs.

Also, are those needs bad enough to trade both 1st round picks to move up into the top 5 or 10, or do we keep them?

Personally, I think we need to pick up either a S or CB, but it's a weak year for the secondary, so I think this can be addressed in rounds 2-3. I think Trae Williams or Marcus Griffin would be a good pickup.

We also could use a QB to backup The Franchise, but definately don't want to use a 1st rounder on the guy. If Dixon or Flynn fall far enough, I think they'd be good fits.

I still can't decide on what to do with those almost pesky 1s though. If they aren't planning on keeping both JJ and MB3, I think they should take a look at Mike Hart or Allen Patrick. In that scenerio, I say take a OL with the other 1. It wouldn't hurt to build some depth on this prize O-line Dallas has put together.

If they do plan on keeping both Barber and Jones, I think that pick should be a WR & OL. Unless they want to target a top line WR to compliment TO, then they should trade up and take a shot at Sweed, though he might fall anyway, and Bowman is a good consolation.

If it were up to me, I say don't trade up, keep what they have and start building some major depth.

What's everyone else think?

ESPN Fantasy Games

orangeblood1 — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 22:32:22 -0000

I was just looking around ESPN's Fantasy page and ran across a sign-up for this season's Pick Em and something called the College Football Challenge.

Apparently the objective of the Challenge is to pick 5 teams from 1 conference and accumulate the most points possible.

Just wondering whether there will be a BON league again this year?

Athlon 2007 Preseason Ranks

orangeblood1 — Mon, 28 May 2007 13:41:01 -0000

I don't know if anybody has been following this, but Athlon's been rolling out it's preseason poll 1 team at a time.

There are on #5 today (West Virginia) and will count down the remaining four teams throughout the remainder of this week.

Still not listed--USC, Notre Dame, LSU, and Texas. That is my best guess as to who will be in the top 4, although UND and LSU that high baffles me. How do the rest of you see this developing?

Greg Monroe

orangeblood1 — Mon, 07 May 2007 12:56:10 -0000

I noticed an article over on orangebloods by Gerry talking about the Horns' latest recruiting target--top prospect Greg Monroe. It is a ($) article, and I don't have a subscription. Can anyone with a Rivals subscription share the jest of that article? Where does Texas stand?

New A&M coach

How good of a fit is Turgeon for A&M? I don't see them doing jack shit next year.

Former Horn RB Charged

orangeblood1 — Sat, 24 Feb 2007 13:11:41 -0000

With stealing a cab?

http://www.kitsapsun.com/bsun/sp_uw_huskies/article/0,2666,BSUN_23500_5376027,00.html

Note to all athletes, whether they be professional or student-athletes--Stay away from the strip clubs!! Nothing but trouble awaits you at places like that.

Really, how hard can it be to get normal girls @ the Dub to take off their clothes?

Brewster wants Texas

orangeblood1 — Thu, 01 Feb 2007 15:27:40 -0000

New Minnesota head coach and form Horns assistant Tim Brewster wants to schedule Texas. I sure hope he's let Mack & co. know. Maybe they can sneak on a future schedule in place of Arkie State.
