The thing I was liking about this article, was the lack of bias. I really enjoyed looking for the players I know the most, and seeing the guys like Chris Wright and Austin Daye and even Tyreke Evans in the top 50. Mid Major conferences hardly ever get the respect they deserve, and I was very impressed to see so many on this list. One further comment, is the estimation of Devean Downey. I am not sure if you watch a lot of the SEC or not, but I was wondering where you think he will end up by the end of the year. I think he is an awesome talent that is definetly one of the tops in the nation. EX: I think he is better than Kyle Singler.... But that is just my opinion. Nice Work, sir, and thanks for such a great read!!!

In the past, grandfathers would take their grandkids to baseball games, and get a hotdog. Now in this generation, you see fathers take their kids to football games and buying frozen hamburger to cook at a tailgating party. So yes, while Baseball may be America's Pastime, I think its really started to lose popularity with the overall consensus of people. While the attendance may be going up, I relate that to people still being loyal to their hometown team, and wanting to do something on a weeknight, while the weekend isn't here anymore. I don't doubt that there are the diehards anymore, because quite frankly, I root for the Braves. For instance, I am a diehard Braves fan, and could tell you just about anything about them. But I think you are losing these types of fans, and therefore, baseball isn't as popular as it was just 5 years ago. That's just my opinon.

One mistake isn't going to end the world you idiot. To call one of my fellow collegues a "Jackarse" is not acceptable. Who cares to Texas A&M lost to besides Aggies fans and Tulsa fans, and the selection committee? Not too many people. Plus Dan is a lot more knowledgeable than you are. --Jackarse's Collegue, Josh Schwader Remember to always come back!

Tennessee and Florida are very good teams, yes, but the lack of depth in this conference is mind boggling. Even Portland can beat teams like Washington and Nevada. HAHAHA! But hey, every dog has its day huh?

Just too bad that Tennessee won't be in a bowl, that is pretty dissapointing. I love the picks and also agree that Ohio St. will be selected before Boise St. Sun, 30 Nov 2008 05:41:04 +0000 http://onlinesportsfanatic.com/2008/11/29/daniels-bowl-projections-florida-vs-oklahoma-in-the-title/#IDComment11885139 http://onlinesportsfanatic.com/2008/11/27/nightly-bracketology-happy-thanksgiving-to-all/#IDComment11852406 Gonzaga wins. Good game with Okie St. Fri, 28 Nov 2008 08:17:01 +0000 http://onlinesportsfanatic.com/2008/11/27/nightly-bracketology-happy-thanksgiving-to-all/#IDComment11852406 http://onlinesportsfanatic.com/2008/11/24/oklahoma-fans-vs-texas-fans-lets-hear-it/#IDComment11689083 (continued) Texas OOC: Florida Atlantic, @UTEP, Arkansas, Rice. What kind of bogus OOC Is that? Bottom Feeder in two conferences and barely fighting for conference middle pack in two others.... Also, Mercury, you are looking at ONE aspect of the game. Oklahoma has also beat better teams, lost to Texas only, and Texas lost to the team OU just blew out. OU also has a better OOC, and SOS, and in my opinion is the best team in the country. Your comparison in the Kansas game is very shaky also. Why would you use only that one game? Texas Tech's defense played around with Texas in that game they had. Tech's couldn't be stopped by Oklahoma. All this and I am a Tennessee fan. You need to stop "hating" or being a "homer" Whichever fits your status as a fan.

Oklahoma beat better teams, (Don't give me the Mizzou thing, they beat them 2 times last year, not like anything changed.) Oklahoma OOC: Chattanooga, TCU, Cincinnati, @Washington. That is impressive within itself. Who plays OOC's where you play the Big East Champion, a Pac 10 team that is better than 0-11 just doesn't show it, and TCU? That is a good MWC team that beat them a couple of years ago. Nice Victories (to be continued) Mon, 24 Nov 2008 09:17:34 +0000 http://onlinesportsfanatic.com/2008/11/24/oklahoma-fans-vs-texas-fans-lets-hear-it/#IDComment11689082
