Yeah, that's what I thought. I was really making a joke - an obtuse one at that, I guess - about the ass-ettes of the USC Song Girls and FSU Cowgirls providing an unfair recruiting advantage. As an afterthought, I was just pointing out that the Red Raiders are not exactly steeped in Texas tradition like the Aggies, the Longhorns, SMU, Baylor, etc. What Leach has done, on a limited budget, with a group of players largely overlooked by the 'major' programs, is fairly remarkable - if he ever has the financial resources and recruiting power of a USC, I expect he'd win the BCS Championship every year. That's all I'm sayin'.

That 'woooossssshhhhhhhhh-ing' sound you hear is the sound of something going right over your head. (You do know that Leach coaches Texas Tech, right? )

Allow me, please, to say just one word... 19 and 0 baby!!! GO BILLSSS!!!! PosLUSZny!!!!!

Nothing against Carroll, who runs a great program, but USC's budget, history, tradition, and the geography and pure pulchritude of SoCal (as exemplified by the Song Girls) are certainly BIG pluses when it comes to recruiting - just as FSU's Bobby Bowden benefits by big-breasted beauties known as... FSU Cowgirls I can't even imagine how invincible - given those ass-ettes - a coach could be if he was good as, oh, let's see....maybe...

Is that a trick question?

That's a rhetorical question... link

Why yes...they are very attractive...for a bunch a beautiful young girls...with great bodies...

There are no bones in ice cream.

Yeah, I knew he signed with the CFL, but am clueless regarding NFL-CFL agreements on signing players. My post was merely 'wishful thinking' than anything else - I wish the Bills had brought him in for a look after Cleveland took a pass on him, and before he signed with Saskatchewan. (I believe the Roughriders have him on on IR thru Oct. 1st anyway, and plan to bring him along slowly - my guess is that he'll play out his 2-year contract in Canada before taking another shot at making an NFL roster.)

My lighter broke.

If you want to tout his preseason #'s, you might want to take note that Hamdan's playing time has pretty much been limited to meaningless 'garbage time' against guys who won't survive the final roster cuts. The Dean's snottiness aside, I understand the infatuation with Hamdan - I like him too. Yet, for some odd reason Hamdan seems to have lost some of the 'Chroise' this preseason. I don't mean to blaspheme, but I just am not getting the same readings on the 'Chroise-meter' that I did last year. Not sure why. Maybe, since Hamdan has only seen action in one regular season NFL game since he was drafted in 2003 (1-for-2, 7 yards) before being relegated to NFL Europe by 2 different teams, then released by both those teams, a look at his college #'s (his preseason action has been mostly against 3rd & 4th stringers and rookies fresh out of college anyway) might explain why I brought Graham Harrell into the equation - Gibram Hamdan - 2,115 yards, 9 TDs Graham Harrell - 15,793 yards, 134 TDs (Trent Edwards - 4,693 yards, 32 TDs) So yeah - Hamdan may be putting more points on the board than our Los Gatos Boy (I'm beginning to wonder if even The Dean couldn't put more points on the board than Trentie), but I don't think it's that tough to see why I wish the Bills would have at least given a look at Graham Harrell.

Yes, it's usually best to ignore The Dean's smug arrogance here, but on OTW he's....never mind, he's obnoxiously smug and arrogant there as well.

Actually, I did like the signing from the get-go. I did read conflicting reports about Fitapatrick's performance at camp - some said he looked better each day, others - particularly certain TSW posters - said he was awful. Having not seen any of Fitzpatrick at St. John Fisher myself, and still not sold on Trent Edwards as a starting NFL QB, I liked the Fitzpatrick signing and did indeed think 'from the get-go' that he might be a better QB than Edwards. Still do. So I consider myself immune from your first two bullets, and in full agreement with the last two. Now, if only we could sign Graham Harrell to back up Fitzpatrick...

The rolls are good.

You want great press conferences, you want... Mike Leach

I meant Edwards is not a #1 QB (except on this team) - but you knew that. You're right, though - maybe the coaches aren't sure where he fits best. Lynch played QB in high school - supposedly can chuck the ball 70 yards. Probably has a better arm than Los Gatos Boy - maybe we have them switch positions and see if Trentie-Boy lasts a series.

We traded that guy to the Eagles.

Not sure a 12-pack would have done the trick either - the only fix for last nite's game would have been... Everclear

Probably Ryan Fitzpatrick, until Graham Harrell's contract is up in Saskatchewan or we draft... Taylor Potts

Neither is Trent Edwards.

The greatest offensive mind available is likely to be... Mike Leach

Yes, even if the Bills'tank' this season, Dick Jauron has a secure future as Mr. Spock in the next Star Trek franchise... "What is this thing, emotion?"
