Excellent insight as always Jeremy, though if I wanted to read that much I'd buy ESPN's College Football Encyclopedia, lol. Picker, as always, you're brilliance shines brighter than the lights at Rhema. That line about the kid chin butting Bob Knight's hand, hilarious. I like to think I would have thought of it eventually.
By the way everybody, the Buckeyes should have beat Michigan by 20+.
I never thought Rivers would amount to anything either. Didn't he throw sidearm in college, and does he still? A lot of the quarterback's job is simply not making mistakes, hence the superbowl wins of Trent Dilfer and Brad Johnson. Just don't turn the ball over--much like unforced errors in tennis, or even poker, where your winnings often come from the mistakes of other players.
As for little 12(see "World Picker", post #22), who cares? Good thing for Stoops media relations doesn't factor in to the equation.
Oh well, back to hunting the mouse that has taken up residence in the bottom drawer of my desk...happy turkey day all!
