I am of the school of thought that there is only one national champion per year. I use the AP in all years SMU claims to have a national championship. There are 0 SMU ap national championships. As to 1935 the general consensus seems to be Minnesota. Note I do not use AP beyond the Bowl Coalition days or into the BCS era. Having more than one national champion in a year is lame.

He probably won't be invited even if they go 12-0. They are not a
traditional power house................

GT0107:

Well, LSU likes the bigger DE's just like Southern Cal does. Mr. Barkevios Mingo would have to be able to support about 250 lbs minimum, without losing any speed, in order to fit the bill at defensive end. And, the bigger the better at defensive end. But, a big guy with speed is a good thing to have. If he can't support the extra weight - then he'll have to stay at linebacker. Some of the real fast small linebackers (like 6'3 210) can run 4.45 forties, and they'll stick them on the edge, but they'll be overpowered by pulling guards on sweeps. I know that LSU doesn't care to be overpowered at any point of contact, therefore they will always prefer bigger people at DE, which is why Mingo's frame would have to support being bulked up while not losing much speed. Great strength is also a must when playing against OT's in the SEC. So, that's a big jump.
At Southern Cal we've had many "hybrid type" LB's and DE's. Pete Carroll likes to always have guys who can come off the edge and play coverage at the linebacker position. This last year we've had both Brian Cushing and Clay Matthews fill the bill. Both of those guys went about 6'5 and 245-250 lbs. Other great ones here who have met those qualifications have been Chip Banks and Willie McGinist. It's not many guys who have the speed to play linebacker, yet also have the strength and mental toughness, to get hammered on by OT's all dayum day long. I hope your guy Barkevios Mingo punches that ticket for LSU. I absolutely love players who can play both DE and LB. This can automatically make a defense be able to shift from 3-4 to 4-3, and maybe even 5-2, without any personnel leaving the field. It can definately cause the opposing QB's some confusion as to what the defense really is.

LOL...I agree. If that isn't a great football name, then I don't know what is. He's a 6'-5" LB who runs a 4.55 40yd dash out of West Monroe High School in Louisiana.

His team is playing in the 5A state championship game tonight in the Super Dome. He hasn't officially committed yet though. I've only seen him listed as probable. And at 6'-5", I don't know if they'd keep him at LB. DE may be a more suitable position with that speed coming off the edge.

TE, without a doubt you are the "Sam Kinison" of this web site...without the AAAAAAHHHHHH!!! AAAAAAHHHHHH!!! Like good ole Sam needed, and eventually found, what you need is a good wife...with a nice rack. I'm gonna ask Santa to bring you one; I sincerely hope it comes about...without the car wreck during the honeymoon, that is. Best of luck!!!

Barkevios Mingo? What a great name for a football player. Is he a linebacker? He should be.

Hey BC He's got a point 27-21 in OT
Yall won the game, but not really a butt whupin-I seen yalls Miss game too.
Not taking anything away from the Tide, but those were real close vicories- yall got the W and thats all that really counts. Now if your Oklahoma winning the game aint enough, you got to try and run up alot to impress voters after that 45-35 loss.
I was sure hoping that we would get to see a Texas vs Bama game. Yall win the SEC next year and you might face the Longhorns in the NC game.

First off: I have no sleep issues.

Secondly: I have no wife.

Thirdly: I thought you didn't care?

TE

Sorry for the hi-jack fellas. To the topic at hand: Brian Kelly should be at the top of that list, imo. There are several other deserving coaches also...none of which made the elite's list.

I think the award should be handed out after the bowl season is complete to get a complete synopsis of work. Then again, maybe it is. Anybody know when they hand it out?

TE, I just read that Rivals has moved Janzen Jackson up to a 5*, fwiw. And you're correct, LSU and USC are currently leading in recruiting according to Rivals and ESPN. And that's without Rueben Randle's committment as well...again....from what I've read.

I guess it's time for me to do a little research on Janzen and Loston. Haven't read much on them yet.

Heard anything on Barkevios Mingo? How solid a committment is he?

"None of your fanbase have no sense of humor..."

So they all have a sense of humor? What's your point?

Re: Football media again prove they don't watch football

-TE- — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 15:51:47 -0000

I'm saying that with very few exceptions...NONE of your fanbase-at least the ones that post here-have no sense of humor...

Sheesh...

BC reminds me of the characters from The Big Lewbowski...The Nihilists...

He always posts her about how he "doesn't care" about everything...From being wrong about his own takes, to talking so silly that his own fans disowned him on some comments, to not being here for a "gold star", and on and on, ad inifitum...

Seriously...I think he's mastered Nihilism...

SMU has two argueably three (if you include 1935 which of course they always do!)national championships.

Tuscaloosa Ink ....funny stuff only problem is that his tattoo's aren't very good ones, some look like he did them himself... How about this for a big pay for view event TE vs BC in a cage match...Now that would be entertainment....especially the pre fight smack talk

I'm not sure I'm following your train of thought. Bear with me, but are you saying that based on your insistance that I am a Bama fan (I told you that I have a degree from U of A), that you assumed that I AM an idiot and really wouldn't know Graham Harrell? I wouldn't be capable of making a remark such as "Who's Graham Harrell?" to a guy that just wrote a giant paragraph about his anger towards the media not paying attention to his team and QB? Is that why you disqualified me from discussing football outside of Alabama? Is that what you are talking about?

If that isn't what you are talking about then I MUST be an Alabama fan because I'm confused.

C'mon, man...Look around at your fellow fans around here...

Other than BigTide30 (That dude's money...I hope he posts here WAY more now that he's back), and Bama_Babe, Bama_Devil_Dog, you've got BamaTreeTreeFo & BC...Not exactly sterling examples of your fanbase...

We might as well bring in that guy with all the tattoo's of "The Bayuuuhr" on his back...

I might dedicated a thread to him...We'll call it "Tuscaloosa Ink"...

You just disqualified yourself from having a sense of humor...

Thanks for playing...

You too FSU_Ben.

Agreed, it's hard to claim that you beat the hell out of someone...in OVERTIME!

Re: Football media again prove they don't watch football

You just disqualified yourself from most any discussion of college football outside of the state of Alabama...

Thanks for playing...

I'm not insulting anyone...I'm addressing the "We Just Beat...The Hell Out Of You" delusional attitude on display from yet another Woodwork Whittled 334 area code 'Bama fan...

"Butt whipping" means 27-21 in overtime...

Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally accurate statement...
