Mark VI

Gridiron Classic in Florida at 11am EST and the East-West Shrine game on at 2pm EST from San Fran. Some good players today. A preview from Great Blue North Draft. I know most of the Bills people are out in San Fran. A few were dispatched to Florida. The all-star cycle kicks into high gear later today with two games on opposite coasts. Most of the attention will be on the East-West Shrine game in san Francisco which kicks off at 2 PM ET on ESPN. The Shrine has plenty of talent looking ahead to the 2005 draft, although there likely won't be any sure first-round prospects in uniform today. The Shrine game, though, does feature some of college football's most prolific passers in history including Timmy Chang of Hawaii, who set the all-time passing mark this fall; Stefon Lefors of Louisville, Kyle Orton of Purdue and Oregon State's Derek Anderson. The Shrine's highest-rated prospects, though, probably include Louisville WR J.R Russell, Fresno State OT Logan Mankins and Utah OG Chris Kemoeatu; Louisiana Tech junior RB Ryan Moats, one of the most productive runners in the country the past couple of years, could also surprise on draft day. And with 4 Canadians in uniform, the Shrine game will also be televised north of the border on TSN. McMaster RB Jesse Lumsden, perhaps the best prospect to come out of a Canadian university in many years is the player most Canadians want to see, although Toledo OT Nick Kaczur and Stanford FS O.J. Atogwe are better prospects. For the record the other Canadian in the Shrine game is UBC DT Nick Johansson. And while the Shrine game lacks elite star power, it does a feature a number of top small college prospects who will get to test their skills against players from D1A schools. Included in the lower level contingent are Cal Poly LB Jordan Beck, Eastern Washington OT Michael Roos, LBs Boomer Grigsby of Illinois State and Liam Ezekial of Northwestern, Lehigh TE Adam Bergen, and Southern Illinois RB Brandon Jacobs. Meanwhile, the day's action kicks off in Florida at the Gridiron Classic in the The Villages which gets underway at 11 AM ET on ESPN2 (sorry there i s no coverage in Canada. Like the Shrine game, there are no elite prospects in this one, though, there will be plenty of talented second-tier type players including Louisville RB Lionel Gates, OT Anthony Alabi of TCU, Oklahoma State OG Sam Mayes, DEs Vinnie Burns of Kentucky and Jonathan Goddard of Marshall, LB Zac Woodfin of UAB, and safety Atari Bigby of Central Florida. Small school players to attract attention in the Gridiron Classic include DE Jordan Brumbaugh of Tuskegee and CB Nick Collins of Bethune-Cookman.

No Jerry Harrison. Tom Tom Club had Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz.

He can get you to the Playoffs, which is better than most. Once there, he struggles to win. This may be his last chance. I've lost count how many home playoff games he's lost as Coach of the favored team.

That's on it's way to a Poker Tournament. If we're lucky, all the usual suspects will sit on one side to make it " TILT ".

Charlie Fry of Akron is currently rated as the #1 QB.

Peyton Manning did the same thing. Didn't hurt him. USC will be #1 again next year, barring injuries.

Wow ! Good for him.

I see you've decided to wear the bullseye shirt today. Not a blind worshiper of the Sacred Cow ?

Agreed. Had bad knees but was a smart player. I bet he turns out to be a good Coach.

Bullseye

:I starred in Brokeback Mountain:

I hate OT posts. Where is that delete button ?

Notice Calvins hair is " Spiked "

Is he torn between girls football and dance ?

That **** has been around too long. I agree.

Outstanding ! Now go buy some good cigars and send them all to me. Where children are, there is the Golden Age. May the Gods smile down on Abby and bless her for eternity.

For every one of those commercials, there is 20 for that assinine poker show, TILT. " I've got an in with the Matador ! " . Yes, I'm sure you two will be happy in the bath house. :I starred in Brokeback Mountain:

And we provide the gasoline !

I don't have the term " dysfunctional " in my sig...let alone my vocabulary.

I like the story to the right. Man leasing his big forehead as a billboard. Bidding on e-bay is up to $ 14,300.

Sounds like you're having the same weather we're having. It's 65 outside here in WNY. Temp will drop about 50 degrees in the next 1-2 days. Heavy rain turning into a skating rink.

Good point. Copyright it, then forward it on.

They just rub noses, then return to their igloo.
