I've ate dandelions greens. They are good, but the bad ou tweighs the good. :lol:

I have had my front yard dandelion free for a couple of years, the back yard is harder. I only treat about 3/4 acre and I have 11. Those things always seem to find their way in.

It's fun to talk about that kind of stuff with others and exchange evaluations and perspectives, make points and counterpoints, but in the final analysis, it comes down to which team wins the game. I agree. It is hard to say you are better then the team that just beat you. Well, not hard just wrong...

You can be competitive in a game, but not competitive in the season as a whole. 0-10 isn't competitive even if you played evey game tight. 8-5 including a couple really close games with very good teams would be. The main point in being competitive on a national level, I think, is to determine how we...

They're more of a nuisance now :x


@#$% pilgrims. :lol:

I disagree with Spence. I don't even think an NFL team will take a look at him. He had better start looking for options in the CFL or Arena Football to become an Edmonton Eskimo or a member of the Los Angeles Avengers; I don't think ONE team will be taking a look at him. He obviously hasn't learned...

People are incouraged to do a preview of their team on the preview thread. The more info we have the better chance this experiment will have to succeed. Anyone can preview as many teams as they like.

Still, I like the fact that both computers and human polls are used in the BCS rankings. I just might change the weight given to some of the factors involved in the BCS formula since I probably would favor more weight being given to those computer rankings you mentioned that have stood by their ran...

We are still getting the groups together, but if you want to preview a couple of teams it would be helpful. :wink:

You get the feeling that there was going to be a "but" in there somewhere.

Someone will give him a F/A contract. I think he went undrafted to send a message.

I completely agree. 6-6 does not a bowl team make. You can't have 32 bowls, and not expect a few 'also-rans' to qualify themselves. Yes, 32, the Houston Bowl will likely be approved, but they will have to wait a little longer. Coincidentally, 32 bowls equals 64 teams. Call me crazy that would appea...

The computers aren't without bias either. It is just that the bias is preloaded, before the games are played. I am not saying that the bias is intentional in any case. The guys who do the computer polls set up a formula based on what they think is important in determining a teams strength. That is t...

By the way, the Mountaineers did not have a good or pretty good team in 2004. They had a bunch of talent, but the team part simply was not there and that team part is critical if the talent is going to be worth anything.


True, me only works in tennis and golf. :wink:

Here's an example of a so-called 'argument' made without any basis in fact, whatsoever. To my knowledge, TCU didn't schedule Texas, yet the presumption is they not only lose, but annhilated, in the process (not that that isn't one possiblity ) That being said, the facts would appear to contradict y...
