Gruden is a snot nosed, mouthy punk and you evidently can't let a sleeping dog lie.

Sam, why do I suspect that had Gruden posited the opposite opinion, you wouldn't have posted it here? I'm sure there are other experts out there who would in fact posit the opposite opinion, and you would simply ignore them.

Looks to me like you do in fact want this to keep going on forever, considering you posted a whole new thread about it, just to support your side of it. It also looks to me like you are sayin' his opinion is the end-all to the argument, which is the only reason you posted it in the first place.Not sayin' that's the end-all to the argument...we can go on forever about this (let's not, though).

Re: Jon Gruden on Texas, Bama, TCU, Boise
Watching games and eyeballing talent is fine. My problem with this type of stuff is that when it comes to actually predicting winners, these experts (and I would certainly concede Gruden is one) are no more/less proficient than Van's cat as he already mentioned, or anybody from this board. Line TCU or Boise up against the elite from other conferences, and toss in a spread, and suddenly his "expert prediction" becomes no more/less credible than Joe Blow. There's a reason why dipshits like Frank Caliendo can outpick Fox NFL "analysts" and former coaches/players. Not because he knows more, but because once you line em up, nobody fucking knows.
Re: Jon Gruden on Texas, Bama, TCU, Boise
Which only serves to prove my point. You not only didn't post their opinions, you dismissed them outright as being 'PC'. In your world, the only valid opinion is the one which supports your argument.Sudden Sam wrote:I did mention that quite a few "analysts" were going the PC route and praising TCU and Boise, didn't I?Van wrote:Sam, why do I suspect that had Gruden posited the opposite opinion, you wouldn't have posted it here?

I was completely right.
And yet you posted yesterday that you don't GARA who agrees or disagrees with your analysis. Turns out, yes, you do...provided they agree with you.The only reason the Gruden thing was posted was because SCS mentioned that no one agreed with my analysis :( :crying uncontrollably: emoticon. As if it mattered, I thought Gruden's quick response to the question was pretty damn cool.Van wrote:More to the point, what was this?Looks to me like you do in fact want this to keep going on forever, considering you posted a whole new thread about it, just to support your side of it.

Of course, since you got you last word in, via Jon Gruden, whose opinion wasn't worth a rat's ass to you yesterday. I'd be a little more believing of you, had you posted those other guys' 'PC' opinions as your last word.Ain't no big thing. We can kill it right here for all I care.

You ever listen to the runt on MNF? Dude blows more smoke than Dins before a BCS game. I keep waiting for Jaws to snap his neck like a #2 pencil.Sudden Sam wrote: A snot nosed, mouthy punk who knows more about evaluating talent than anyone in here will ever know.
A bad analogy, perhaps. I should've written 'Dead Horse'.Sleeping dog?
But let's back up a bit, shall we?
Judging by your daily new thread count, it would appear it needs a lot of promoting. Of course I understand you're excited for your team playing in the MNC and who wouldn't be... but dude.Now, you can say he was promoting his network's game, but how much promoting does the BCS NC game need?!
Just about every single day for the past month you've been in here pimping this game like it was the Alpha and Omega of CFB, to the virtual exclusion of any other game. Like they didn't count and only this one matters. In fact, you seem positively offended that anyone would have the audacity to speak of any game or players that didn't involve Texas and Alabama.
So you constantly strive to steer the conversation back towards the 'dead horse', ie: "TCU and Boise players don't measure up... pay attention to me, man, are you listening? Everybody needs to concentrate here"
And then you get flustrated when hardly anyone will play to the neat little script you've got all laid out in your mind of how the build-up to your glorious day on the main stage will unfold.
If it wasn't so transparently pathetic, it'd be funny. Fuck it, it's funny anyway.
Tomorrow is your Big Day, Sam. I promise not to speak of anything in this forum that does not involve the BCS MNC, but until then, I'm going to torment you with talk of CMU-Troy. :wink:

You seek attention, you crave approval, and you demand validation of your team, their schedule, their conference, and yes, you want your opinion respected. That's why you post and there's no other reason.

Re: Jon Gruden on Texas, Bama, TCU, Boise
Jon Gruden is a guru of CFB?
I guess being an assistant coach at Pitt for one year makes you an expert on CFB.
Boise could beat both Texas and Bama on any given day. So could TCU.
The "no comparison in talent" is quite humorous. Especially considering a former starter on last years Bama team that transfered to UNA, stated the only difference in D2 football and D1 was depth and facilities.

Re: Jon Gruden on Texas, Bama, TCU, Boise
Conventional wisdom dictates that when ten to fifteen people differ with two people, and the vast majority of the ten to fifteen people have no biased in the discussion where as the severe minority certainly does, that the unbiased vast majority usually has a better or more valid argument than the two people sticking their fingers in their ears screaming "Lalalalalalalalala, I can't hear you." That's all I was pointing out... it's called critical thinking... i realize they have enough difficulty teaching arithmetic and reading at a 6th grade level through much of the south :wink: but many of the posters here probably realize that.Sudden Sam wrote:I neither seek attention or approval nor do I need validation of anything to do with football in here.

However, when someone uses the "everyone agrees with me, not with you" argument for validation of their claims...that's pretty pitiful. I simply pointed out that I was not the only person who could see that TCU was not on a par with the better teams in the nation.
Methinks y'alls' beef should be with SCS, not me. He's the one who threw out the "everbody likes me better than you" childish crap in support of his opinion.

Not even close.
Talk about burnout...
The NFL playoffs are right around the bend. You know, real football. The way you look at TCU and BSU? That's how hardcore NFL fans look at all CFB, other than wondering who their team might draft in April.
And NCAA hoops is just warming up as conference seasons start. March Madness and all that. Loves me some college hoops.
And then we've got MLB... ok, bad example. Nevermind.

Re: Jon Gruden on Texas, Bama, TCU, Boise
I haven't done any real checking but looking at the bama and Texas roster there are a combined 30-40 guys that will be playing in the NFL over the next 2-3 seasons. Can anyone say the same thing about TCU and Boise State?
I know that NFL is not the end all be all of college football, hell outside of Vince, my second favorite QB (Major Applewhite) at Texas never had a shot at the NFL and he was as bad ass as they come in college. But that kind of talent does count at other positions like oline, dline, linebackers, DBs, and receiver. Those positions are filled with NFL talent on both teams. You really can't say the same thing about TCU or Boise State. That doesn't mean that either school couldn't compete with Bama or TCU but it does mean that to beat a Alabama or Texas they would need a lot of help.

Sudden Sam wrote:Suncoast,
What bias of mine enters into my argument that TCU is not a top level team? The initial premise that I offered was simply that TCU and Boise had not played anyone of significance nor did they appear to be teams of superior talent. My saying that they would not fare well in any BCS conference was how this originated.
I think that is pretty apparent to anyone who has watched a lot of football. However, I have friends who disagree and friends who agree.
Although I wish each of them had played a BCS team in a bowl (and either or both could have won, no doubt), I think their game the other night showed that they both have major deficiencies. Mainly in the numbers of talented kids. Neither gets the top level talent and that's just a fact.

Yes, Boise or TCU could beat either Texas or Bama. But they wouldn't do well playing a full schedule in either conference. That's been my point all along. No doubt they could spring an upset here or there. But playing an 8-game Big 12 or SEC conference schedule would not be as kind to them as the schedule they played in their respective conferences.

Oh Realllllllllyyyyyyyyyyy... it's official... you've either gone off the fucking deep end, ignorant, or just a plain simpleton moron.
Do you know how many players TCU has in the NFL? Twenty... that would be more players than over half the SEC programs currently in the league (hell while I'm on that soap box both BYU and Utah have more players in the NFL than half of the schools in the SEC). If you compared TCU's numbers in the NFL draft to the SEC or just outright tossed them in as the "13th team" over the last five years only THREE SEC teams have had more players drafted (LSU & Georgia with 28, and Florida with 20) and ONE with as many (Allbarn with 19), Eight teams have fewer draft picks than TCU (Tennessee 17, Alabama 16, SoCar 15, Arkansas 14, Ole Miss 10, Vanderbilt 7, Kentucky 6, Miss State 4).
In the 2009 draft the only SEC team with more players drafted than TCU was South Carolina with seven; both LSU and Florida had as many with six.
In the second tier of Professional football up in he CFL TCU has more players in that league than any of the SEC schools with eight (including two starters on the Grey Cup champion Edmonton Eskimos). And don't come back with any BS about how the SEC and its players are just too horty torty and superior for the CFL because eleven SEC institutions are represented in the league as well (especially South Carolina, Auburn, and Tennessee who all have five players on rosters).
Talking heads may churn out the bullshit that you swallow wholeheartedly while saying "Thank you may I have some SEC Cock for desert as well?" but the facts don't back up the bullshit you're passing around the table to the rest of us. The professionals who get paid six figure salaries to evaluate the talent for the pro franchises obviously don't agree in your supposed, and fictional, supreme talent gap between the almighty worshipful SEC schools and lil ole deficient and untalented Texas Christian.
BTW I'm pretty sure I can hear Ladainian Tomlinson telling you to eat a dick about not getting top level talent right now down the hall from the adults table.

Twenty... that would be more players than over half the SEC programs currently in the league
You have solidified yourself as being completely full of shit but I guess as long as you can suck your own dick you're happy.
I'm actually glad you asked this question... I'm not going to pay ESPuNs Insider fees to see their entire draft boards but CBS has a pretty damn cool one that projects future drafts as well so I guess I will go by it. I figure 32 teams at 7 rounds is 224 draft picks by my math so I stopped each year at the 250 player on the board. Obviously some of these things could change down the road if people decide to leave early but going by what class they are in now...
In the upcoming draft- Alabama: is predicted to have five major candidates to be drafted... the 24th overall and #4 at his position, 45th OA and 6th POS, 54th OA and 3rd POS, 173rd OA and 8th, 175th OA and 1st POS (a Kicker). - TCU: 26th OA and 5th POS, 211th OA, and 16 POS, 215th OA and 23rd POS. Five to Three Alabama'a advantage... Ahhhh but wait there's more good sir.
In the 2011 projected class (which they only give positional ranking for and not overall for "future" draft classes)- Alabama: 1st POS, 6th POS, 14thPOS - TCU: 6 POS, 7 POS, 8 POS, 11 POS, 11 POS... well hell it looks like tables are reversed here with the advantage being TCU by the same margin Five to Three.
2012- Alabama: 1 POS, 1 POS, 2 POS, 10 POS - TCU: 2 POS, 5 POS, 6 POS, 10 POS, 15 POS... Now by my arithmetic that's a five to four advantage for TCU (and granted this far down the road it's all conjecture but still) and damn near equal as many players being selected to NFL teams over the next three years.
Thanks for being our subject in whack-a-tard mvBandwagon.
Damn I took the week off this week for some much needed R&R and all I have done the last two days is hunt down statistics, look at schedules, and argue in here... granted it's colder than I have ever felt it in this neck of the woods this week but I probably should do something else at some point... though I probably won't and will end up hunting this down for you and vincent as well most likely.Killian wrote:Might want to throw "Big 12" in there with the "SEC", and direct it at Vito.

Wrong. 15.
Wrong. BYU has 19.that would be more players than over half the SEC programs currently in the league (hell while I'm on that soap box both BYU and Utah have more players in the NFL than half of the schools in the SEC).

Re: Jon Gruden on Texas, Bama, TCU, Boise
There's also a lot of volatility in NFL line ups... I could see how numbers can fluctuate depending on at what point the website updates the information and which players on active rosters, IR, etc. I decided to test out the theory I mentioned in my edit and I looked on the link you provided for me for a player I know is on a team but is not on the active roster. CBS.com still has Reggie Smith listed as a member of the SF 49ers though he is only on the practice squad now. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/players/pl ... ggie-smithSunCoastSooner wrote:I got mine from the official NFL website.Papa Willie wrote:http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootbal ... chool/6820Do you know how many players TCU has in the NFL?

Wrong. 15.
Wrong. BYU has 19.that would be more players than over half the SEC programs currently in the league (hell while I'm on that soap box both BYU and Utah have more players in the NFL than half of the schools in the SEC).
Florida - 38
Georgia - 45
Kentucky - 10
South Carolina - 24
Tennessee - 38
Vanderbilt - 13
Alabama - 29
Arkansas - 21
Auburn - 34
LSU - 50
Ole Miss - 22
Mississippi State - 22
BYU and TCU have more player in the NFL than only 2 (two) SEC teams.
I'm not reading the rest of what you posted for fear that it's as incorrect as the above information. At least provide the link to your information.

Edit: The houma article is interesting... I was most shocked about the Big 10 and receivers... but I have only just glossed it over.
Edit 2: could it be possible that your or my link does or does not count mid-season activated players and or one or the other counting practice team roster players as well or not?

Re: Jon Gruden on Texas, Bama, TCU, Boise
For fuck's sake, you just said BYU had 19 players in the NFL a moment ago... make up your fucking mind so I can make mine up, damn it!!! :DPapa Willie wrote:http://espn.go.com/nfl/college/_/letter/t
Even this one shows 14 for TCU and 15 for BYU.
Florida - 32
UGA - 39

Tenn - 36
Vandy - 12
Alabama - 24
Arkansas - 17
Auburn - 28
LSU - 41
Ole Miss - 20
Miss St. - 20
And none of those match your set of original numbers or mine (well not entirely the ones I got but your second link was actually closer to the numbers I came up with from NFL.com). Three different sites now and we have three different sets of numbers.
Set 1 (NFL.com, SCS)
Set 2 (CBS, spray)TCU 20

Arkansas 16
Auburn 28*
Florida 37

Are you just trying to confuse me into submission or trying to troll me at this point?
The only thing you're proving to me so far is that apparently nobody is quite sure how many players are in the NFL from just about anywhere. How about this for a solution we take each team and each sites set of numbers and toss them in a hat, whichever name and set we pull out first we work with from here on out... I'll get you some scissors and crayons so you can get on this very important project ASAP.
I think I have him occupied for a little while guys, lets talk some football.

Re: Jon Gruden on Texas, Bama, TCU, Boise
I took some personal time this week so no work worries for a bit. I wanted it to take it in two weeks but we're going to have important clients down from Chicago and St. Louis that week that, unfortunately, I have to be around for much of. :(Papa Willie wrote:For somebody that actually says he went through each roster (where's that life, boy?), as you said - there are many factors. I'm thinking the CBS site shows how many were in at the beginning of the season. I've shown 2 sites that don't agree with you.
Regardless, TCU doesn't have more NFL players than half of the SEC. While their numbers are respectable, you can clearly see that they are in line with the bottom third of the SEC. The SEC has far more players in the NFL than any other conference. This is why the SEC sucks so bad.
Whatever you say, Chief. :wink:
You've also shown a site that doesn't agree with you, and I showed you a site that didn't agree with either. Your conclusion would depend on which site's numbers are accurate. All three differ in some respects.
Nobody has said the SEC sucks, the majority of people have said that it is not as powerful this year as it has been in previous years, it's an average conference this season.
I also think you're probably wrong about the CBS being from just the beginning of the season because it still has Jammal Brown listed as an active member of the Saints and he was hurt wellllllll before the beginning of the season.

Can if you want but Texas currently has 42 guys earning an NFL paycheck.

BTW I'm pretty sure I can hear Ladainian Tomlinson telling you to eat a dick about not getting top level talent right now down the hall from the adults table.
I think we are currently tops in the NFL, not doing too bad in the NBA either.
If I'm not mistaken Texas should be adding about 9 more this season with McCoy, Shipley, Kindle, Muck, Thomas, Ulatoski, Hall, Houston, and Thomas.
