Do you think Jordan Jefferson will return this season? and if so, do you think he will start?
I answered:
I was just thinking about this yesterday. I haven’t heard much about the case to be honest. It’s not looking like he will return, and that’s probably for the best. Lee has been decent, so he should remain the starter even if he does come back. If Lee has a bad game or two though, it might be a different story.
I'm with Woo-Pig-Sooie here. Looking at what LSU has done on the field, it's hard to not put them at #1. MissSt may not be legit a Top 25 team, but you'd be hard pressed to say the same about Oregon & WVU. And your Boise bias is showing a bit with having the Broncs at #2. You question LSU's opponents, but Boise's only "quality" win is against a mediocre Georgia team. And where's Oklahoma?
I answered:
I don’t think my Boise bias is showing because I think they have the skill to take down almost every team out there. I don’t even have them at #1, like two actual AP voters have this season. I’m just not convinced with LSU yet. Just because everyone else has them #1, doesn’t mean I need to think that way too. Same for Oklahoma. I think OK could easily drop two games. I’m anticipating them dropping at least two. Oregon is good, but they beat themselves more than LSU beat them. WVU has talent, but they can never do anything with it. They won’t be ranked by season’s end.
I’m not questioning LSU’s opponents, but I’m not putting them at #1 because of who they’ve played. I am glad that they take on all challengers though. That shows something about the program. LSU has made many errors on the offensive side of the ball. I’m being as critical as possible.
Alabama and Boise have done nothing to make me question their game, except for maybe Boise’s kicker.
Oklahoma lost points from me this week because they a) Let Missouri go up early at home and b) they let them come back at the end of the game. Again, I’m being as critical as possible. They’re at #6 right now, but next week could be back at #5 depending on how well Stanford plays.
I love NCAA 11, my brother and I have an ongoing online dynasty. Some years there are a lot of undefeateds, and others one of us is the only undefeated. One year I actually took a 1 loss C-USA team to the championship. Only on a video game could that ever happen, haha.
What team(s) do you play as?
I answered:
I haven’t really been able to get into the the dynasty mode very much yet. I’ve been going through the RTG mode as a speed quarterback at Oklahoma State. I’m in my junior year about to play in the championship. I have two Heismans and a 30 game win streak. I’ll probably start the dynasty after I finish with that player.
“Like the new theme. Your ask page isn’t working. Anyway, was going to ask you what you thought of Boise losing their OC to Texas? Seems like a smart time for him to make the move careerwise but who do they get to replace him?”
Strange that is wasn’t working… I thought all my links were fixed. I’ll look into that. As fro Harsin, I’m pretty upset to see him go, but it was time for him to move to a bigger place. You can’t turn down a job like that. I have no idea where we’re going to go from here though. We lost Justin WIlcox last year, but our defense was never better this season, so maybe we’ll be okay. When I think of smaller schools that have had plenty of offensive success, I think of Northern Illinois and Tulsa. Maybe they could contact their OCs. I haven’t heard of any candidates yet though.
I love that your picture under your navigation bar is of the Broncos. I love them and they're my favorite<3
I answered:
thanks, my girlfriend put that together for me. and same here. No matter where that program goes from here, I’ll follow them as long as their field is blue and coach peterson is calling trick plays.
I answered:
and the dude who decided to fall on that blocked punt. What an idiot.
i'm a boise state fan, and have enjoyed reading your blog all season. thanks for giving the broncos the respect they deserve!
oh and about the ohio state suspensions, looks like the players are gonna be out for the "murders row" part of their next season. they don't know murders row until they go down to play an SEC team for the sugar bowl :)
I answered:
Thanks a lot, I really appreciate the support! Hopefully I’ll find some good stuff to write about over the offseason regarding Boise.
Well, it seems that several of those players might go pro, and avoid suspensions all-together. I hate agreeing with Mark May, but last night he said “If this was Ryan Mallett there is no way he would be playing in the Sugar Bowl” and I think that’s true. Regardless, Arkansas can (and better) win.
BOISE! BOISE! BOISE! BOISE!
I just want to thank you for turning me on to Boise. I was never a fan until this year.
I answered:
And thanks to you, I kept up with MSU’s football team. I’ve watched the basketball program (I like Izzo) but never gave much notice to the football team before. Hopefully our teams finish with the same record.
man, I really wanted to take Virginia Tech badly, but I know better. And I believe Ohio State is gonna win. I just have a feeling that they can't lose another game to a SEC school. You took Uconn?
I answered:
I took VT because of the momentum. Ohio State is good, but Mallett is going to preform at the top notch level. I’m picking Uconn for the hope of an upset. It probably won’t happen, but if anyone can lose to that Uconn team, it’s Oklahoma.
I had Ohio winning for 10 points. They got killed. :-(
I answered:
Totally not the Ohio team that won 6 of their last 7.
