The last 2 times the national title game was in New Orleans, LSU won the championship.

The BCSNCG and the Final Four are both in the Super Dome this year. I'm confident that Carolina will play in at least one of those two...

I'm planning to go twice.

yeah, but who do you plan on watching at both?

Wait and see.

But you are attending regardless of who's playing?

Alabama won't have 10 wins. Easy money.

They missed UC.

Cal's been struggling for a few years now. I don't think it's an oversight at all.

Calipari may not have made a final four, but I don't know if I would qualify that as struggling. Irregardless, I don't know what that has to do with top 25 football.

I think Mook should just move back to SW Ohio instead of overcompensating for his abandoning of the area through over the top fandom of these meager regional programs.

You leave the Bengals out of this.

Surely to God you don't think they have a chance to make it to the BCSNC game in football.

no but he thinks they have a very good shot in bball.

I had Detroit Lions fans making fun of me being a Bengals fan today

Damm.

"Yeah, but unlike the Saints, we managed our first winning season a good twelve years before the Who Dats. So fuck you. Playoffs or bust. And yo' momma! H-Town. Bitches!"

Sigh.

Does the NFL have recruiting championships like college basketball?

Heh, I posted on a Michigan friends facebook a little joke about Kwame being out of prison now. He responded by threatening that he'd write Mike Brown to encourage him to write a book.

According to ESPN and the NFL Network... yes.

The Eagles still have questions (serious questions) at LB, and their OL is still fairly mediocre in terms of pass-blocking in Andy Reid's pass-first offense. That said, they're in an (IMO) overrated division and I don't think the Packers and Falcons will be as qood as they were last year. The team to worry about, if you're an Eagles fan, is the Saints.

BTW, Jason Babin has had ONE notable year as a pass rusher, and that was last year. He's goddamn 29 years old. He could very well be a one-hit wonder. OTOH, pairing him with Cullen Jenkins may be pure genius. Then again, the Eagles are so underwhelming at the other two DL positions that you never know.

And who the hell are their safeties???
