Re: Draft Daddy "Small School Sleepers"

He's got Justin Tougas (OL) as a prospect from Albany. He would have been had he played this year, but he quit for personal reasons before the season. I doubt a kid from an FCS team that didn't even play his senior year will get a shot in the NFL, but you never know.

Re: Another "The Future of the CAA" Thread

I wonder what the powers that be will do after 2010 when the NEC and PFL get autos. It would be interesting to see the scenarios if the CAA decides to become 2 conferences as they would, even split up, be top conferences right away and one without an auto. Just to clear it up - the NEC and Big Sout...

Re: Another "The Future of the CAA" Thread

I love some of the rivalries we have, but a 14 team conference is just too much IMHO... I agree about the rivalries, but why can't these be maintained with scheduling agreements? Lets look at the biggest rivalries around: Army-Navy-Air Force CiC trophy - no conference affiliation between any of the...

Re: Louisville QB Simms to transfer

There is a 4-2-4 rule that allows you to do that without every sitting out. As opposed to going the route of FBS to FCS and then back to FBS, where you'd have to sit a year when you moved from FCS to FBS. A good presentation: http://www1.ncaa.org/membership/membership_svcs/regional_seminars/2007_Pow...

Re: CSN Fab 50

Not having David McCarty on the list is a joke.

Finished the season with the most rushing yards in the nation (1852) and 2nd in YPG (154.33) and not even making honorable mention is a joke.

Re: Will the CAA break up by 2011?

Interestingly enough or maybe just coincidence there is supposed to be a CAA football meeting the first week in January (next week) where the future of the CAA will be discussed. The interesting thing is that after some repeated pressure by Albany alumns and donors we have been promised a public sta...

Re: Gridiron Classic on YES Network at 1:30pm

as crazy as it sounds, it actually is an official NCAA sanctioned post-season game. Which to me would make it NOT a bowl game. The playoffs are NCAA sanctioned games too....I guess I never looked at any of these post-season "classics" as bowl games.... Call it what you like - bowl game, p...

Well this one was ugly and never really a contest. McCarty destroyed the PFL's best team: 271 yards and 4 TD's on 33 carries. Ends the season as the nation's leading rusher with 1852 rushing yards and 356 receiving. 100+ yards in 11 of 12 games this year and 16 of his last 17 games going back to las...
