USG is on the clock...

 

[CTMike]

Sorry Dan, right now I'm digging my conference, but here on out it starts to get ugly! I'll definitely revisit as we move forward.

 

[geordi]

7 of the first 29 teams coming from the All Cash Conference????? What am I missing??/ Is this the opportunity to pull together the best conferences n the country??? or just slap something up against the board and see what sticks.????

Is it still so hard to be a baby?

(This is obscure but hopefully one person gets it)

I really wish Carl was doing this. The entire Ivy League would be drafted by now.

He would have just picked Navy 16 times. You know the Big East has the same problem as MLB drug testing. Chain of command

lmfao

The CSS drafts the Oklahoma State Cowboys.

Read my explanation about my last pick aTm, and it is basically the same. Except for take out the part about big media markets and insert the financial baking of T Boone Pickens! That's right ...I'M A MAN!

 

[whaler11]

Some decent options here but nothing that jumps off the page. For the hardy fans, the ridiculous co-eds, tremendous tailgating, recruiting area, so Auburn isn't on an island.... The University of Mississippi.

 

[MattMang23]

They may not win many games, but they've never lost a party

Really we just need the girls.

 

[Dann]

gtech and ark for me. i really want bobbys jump off.

 

[whaler11]

I almost took GA Tech last. I don't much want them for them - but I'll take them so I have access to the eyeballs - University of California Los Angeles.

 

[Dann]

Guys I'm thinking about picking up utsa next. They are a sleeping midget.

 

[UConnSportsGuy]

CSS drafts the University of Missouri Tigers.

 

[CTMike]

Gonna go with Clemson and Ole Miss here. Southern belles, y'all. HOLLA!

Are Ole Miss and the University of Mississippi different schools?

I think this brings us to what I was going to ask: can someone post a tally of what the conferences look like so far? I have lost track of who has which team, and perhaps so have the contestants...

Its in the first post.

 

[UConnDan97]

Oh, cool. I didn't realize we could edit posts after the "fifteen minute rule", but I'm guessing HuskyfanDan has some carte blanche around here!

 

[SubbaBub]

At the halfway point Mel Kiper's hair rankings are as follows:

1. The Tier XVI:
tex/ok/nd/miami/oregon/auburn/boise/ole
Threatening to run away and hide. Three massive blueblooded TV draws, two historic rivalries, one of FL's big 3, the hottest program on the west coast, an underdog, and hot coeds.
Best steal: ND in the third round
Biggest reach: More of a calculated gamble than a reach is Boise in the seventh round, unproven in major conference play.

2. Confrence Sweet Sixteen:
usc/bama/psu/neb/vt/tenn/atm/okst
Four bluebloods (usc, bama, neb, psu), second best program in Texas, best program in the ACC, another 100k stadium(TN), and a B12 refugee.
Best steal: Neb in the fourth.
Biggest reach: Tenn in the sixth which may prove to be the final margin. Would have been better off trying to solidify TX recruiting area with this pick.

3. CTMike16-
mich/fl/lsu/uga/wisc/mich st/uk/ncst
Feast or Famine so far getting some solid rivalries and programs from the former B1G and SEC with a couple head scratchers.
Best Steal: LSU and UGA in Rds 3 and 4 for a strong base the Southeast nicely counter to not getting Bama.
Biggest Reach: Mich St in Round 6, only a reach because ATM was still on the board and the conference could use recuiting draw in TX..

4. The Bi6 East:
tosu/fsu/unc/wvu/uconn/sc/uva/gt
Best program in the former B1G, second best program in FL, and a bunch of hoi polloi. Went for the sentimental pick about two rounds early.
Best Steal: WVU in Rd 4.
Biggest Reach: UNC in the third round.

ctmike still on the clock...

 

[CTMike]

Are Ole Miss and the University of Mississippi different schools?

Er... Yeah... Totally different! Damn, have a few drinks, start drafting schools that have been drafted. I saw Missouri come off the board and thought I was in the clear. Oh well. Quite frankly I'm more upset at SubbaBub discrediting my Conference of Awesome.

Picking up Vanderbilt here. Continue raiding the SEC and its a great location. I'm trying to talk myself in to this pick. I don't know if it's working.

 

[UConnSportsGuy]

The CSS will select BYU.

Very solid football history and program. Large following across the country (Mormon Nation). Very good recruiting that has a national draw. They are kind of like a Notre-Dame-Lite.

Plus they are a rare quality western team and I need to build a Western pod for my 1st round pick USC.

 

[whaler11]

I'll tie up a big city and own the Pacific Northwest after this addition. The University of Washington. Improving on field... One of the few teams to have won a NC in the modern era left. Oregon, UW and Boise is a nice little triangle with UCLA to schedule with as well.

 

[Dann]

illinois and indiana, i can't explain why i picked them

 

[whaler11]

Not in love with them but I'll take Stanford.

 

[UConnSportsGuy]

The CSS was really hoping to get Stanford here, but guess we waited one round too many. So I guess we'll have to go to plan B and take the University of Iowa.

Very solid football tradition at a large State School that has a large and faithful fanbase. Plus, I've heard that their coach comes from a future National Power in football!

 

[CTMike]

Purdue and Maryland. Let's turn this in to a Randy Edsall thread!!!
