Dan:

Does Ronnie Atkins still coach at UR? I went to one of their summer camps years ago. One of the hottest 4 days of my life. Middle of summer in Richmond outside all day. I only peed twice the whole time because I had no water in me...

awesome, man. I'm happy for you. Can't wait to see pics.

Yeah, I was gonna say I don't think teams are technically allowed to start practicing yet...

I used to get a really sore arm in the beginning of the season. I recommend light lifting after you practice. It can really help you from getting a sore arm the next day.

no, we're just going to see a friend who goes to school at Loyola University. We'll be back in VA before the 11th though. It sucks though because my 21st birthday is the 12th, a few days after we plan on coming back.... Why are you going?

Couldn't have said it better.

yeah, I go to JMU. I'm not sure if I'll be able to fish during spring break though, I'm planning on doing a road trip with my buddies to New Orleans. If that falls through, I'll let you know. I'd definitaly be interested in fishing spring. (Spring break is first week of march.)

THANK YOU!

OK, so if we're asserting that all teams are technically given ranks, how can we say a team is bad because of their losses to "unranked" teams?...because technically there would be no such thing... That's what I'm trying to get at. There is a point where teams are considered "ranked" and "unranked," almost every poll ends at the top 25, so that's where people generally make the cutoff.

I agree, the only thing that annoys me about public smoking if someone is inconsiderate or not observant and blows smoke in my face as I walk by. That is the same to me, however as people who don't know how to walk...ie people who walk on the wrong side of the sidewalk, who walk too slow, or who make unpredictable lane changes...it's just people being inconsiderate or not caring enough to observe their surroundings.

obviously all teams have a rank, but in terms of college football, a "ranked" team means top 25.

the BCS website's polls only go to 25...where is the one you are referring to? And in college football, in games and what not, they don't say a team is ranked unless it is in the top 25, that's why they don't get numbers next to their names on the tv if they are 33rd...

Wow! I gotta start fishing Royal again. I only fished it once and I fell in...that was a muddy ride home...

I don't know of anywhere to catch them in the area off the top of my head, but then again, I've never targeted them so who knows...

one of LSU's losses was to an unranked team. anything after #25 is not a "ranked" team.

well you have to be fair, Pat White and Steve Slaton have both been in Heisman contention a few times... anyway, there's really no point in arguing. Either make a bet, or just wait to see what happens. Talking about it does nothing.

Hawaii 12-0 Kansas 11-1 Ohio State 11-1 12-0 and 11-1 are better than 11-2. Therefore there are other teams with better win records...Which is EXACTLY what I said.I never said anything about SoS or BCS membership. I know LSU plays a harder schedule, but that's not what I was saying. I was only saying if you look purely on records, LSU cannot be declared "DOMINANT." If they were "dominant" they wouldn't have two losses. Are they the best? Probably. But they are by no means dominant.

there are several teams with better records this year... A clearly dominant team does not lose twice in one season. LSU is a great team and will probably win the championship, but you can't say for a fact they are better than all other teams this year...Kentucky and Arkansas showed that.

Is Pat White expected to play?

He didn't say that LSU hasn't proven how good they are. He said that no one had proven they are THE best team in the nation. With 2 losses, he is EXACTLY right about LSU. They have not proven they are THE best team.

This is a prime example of a kid who didn't ask his parents before signing online... ;D Can't wait till a mod gets on and bans him with a few clicks though... remember to keep his IP

Look at his 50 most recent posts. Most are just a smiley face and "texas=kkk racism". the rest are one word and the texas thing... I just feel bad if the mods have to delete each post because he's made a whole bunch of them and in all sections of the forum...

He made a big spam post in another section with like 4 pages of pictures that were each a different post. Then a moderator deleted the pictures because they were obviously spam and reset his post count. Maybe he's just trying to get his post count back after that? I don't see why that's so important though... He's made like 20 posts in the past 5 minutes... most of them were one word and followed by the remark about Texas..

I just posted that in a different thread. He's done this before, I think he just wants to up his post count...for whatever reason.

Nice fish! I've seen a big fish right where you were but I've only caught dinks there. Which way were you fishing? Out towards the middle of the lake, towards the dam, or what?I think they're is a drop off out in the lake towards the dam a little but I'm not sure.
