Who Needs Web Cams?

With all the talk this year of coaches using web cam technology to gain an edge on other programs in recruiting, this college football guy says who needs expensive, new "fan'gled" technology when cheap art students will work.

The University of Oregon has been making comic books for potential recruits since 2005. We have to say this is pretty genius. Unfortunately there is nothing in this super hero story about overcoming a toe injury and losing your starting QB to a torn ACL while ranked #2 in the country. You can't predict everything. SNOOP! SNOOP! SNOOP!

Yeah Saban! An elephant would make an excellent Robin to your Batman.

Signing Day is HERE!!

Well today’s the day! The day that bloggers and message boarders from across the country, call in sick (who am I kidding – they don’t have jobs), lock themselves in their basements, in front of their computers, and pine and drool over 17 and 18 year old boys! Is Michael Jackson giving away free memberships to his fan club today? No, it is in fact “National Letter of Intent Day.” A day high schoolers hold 65 year old alumni hostage. Today at least one Division I coach’s administrative assistant will lose their job because they failed to replace the toner in the fax machine. This day marks the culmination of one of the most important jobs a coaching staff has and one that may ultimately decide their fate.

It is true that in order to compete on a national level you must have the best talent, but for every former number one overall (Vince Young, QB/Texas; Adrian Peterson, RB/OU; Percy Harvin, WR/Florida), your team must also find and develop the three star talent (Mike Hart, RB/Michigan; Matt Ryan, QB/Boston College; Jacob Hester, RB/LSU) and the two star (James Laurinaitis, LB/Ohio State). Today marks just ONE piece of the puzzle to build a great program. The others are heart, determination, teamwork, and great coaching! So if a recruiting service has blessed you with a top 25 ranking enjoy it while it lasts and pray that, four years from now, your team looks more like this year's USC, LSU, Ohio State, Georgia and less like Florida State, Miami, Purdue, Washington. Here is Rivals’ ranking of the class of 2004, last year’s red shirt juniors and true seniors.

In Case You Missed It.

I wish I would have thought of this my senior year in high school!

A little humor (and true story) to wet your signing day appetite. This kid is either incredibly stupid, or loves a great joke!

You decide!
