Just curious, what was the game time temperature of this game?

It was like 40 with something like 20mph winds.

Yikes! No wonder "that ass" got cold.

Missouri had a decent year considering they lost some good players from last year. (7-5, 5-4 Big 12)

Ohio State..34
Michigan.....40

Watched the 2nd half of this game. Damn entertaining!

Didn't realize '03 was the last time they beat the Buckeyes.

Illinois.........7
Minnesota...27

YEAH!

It's nice to finish on a high note after another miserable season (3-9, 2-6 Big Ten).

With the exception of the Wisconsin game, the Goofs took steps in the right direction in the second half of the season.

Dare I say we may become bowl eligible next year?

How about how many of them will be busts? That to me is the real question. I can think of two guys that play for KC that are junk when they were supposed to be NFL studs. LSU almost always has a D that will knock the crap out of you, but that doesn't always translate to the NFL.

2011: Patrick Peterson, Not a Bust
2009: Tyson Jackson, Bust
2008: Glenn Dorsey, Bust
2007: JaMarcus Russell, Poster Boy for Busts
2007: LaRon Landry, Not a Bust
2007: Dwayne Bowe, Not a Bust
2007: Craig Davis, Is he still playing? Bust
2006: Joseph Addai, Not a Bust
2005: Marcus Spears, Not a Bust
2004: Michael Clayton, Not a Bust

LSU has had 10 players selected in the first round in the last 10 years. I rated 4 as busts and 6 as not busts. Michael Clayton is debatable because when he was healthy he was a good player.

 

[316what]

FINAL
#3 Arkansas..17
#1 LSU.........41

Two observations...

1. LSU outscores Hogs 41-3 score after being down 14-0.

2. I wonder how many LSU defensive players are going in the 1st round of the NFL draft?

First round next year or the following 2 years? A lot of LSU's starters are freshmen and sophomores.

If Claiborne decides to come out (he's a Junior), he'll probably be a 1st rounder. One of the O-linemen could possibly go late in 1st round. I don't see anyone else going in the 1st next year.

Juniors: Rueben Randle, Russell Shepherd
Sophomores: Eric Reid, Alfred Blue, Tyrann Mathieu, Spencer Ware, Michael Ford, Kevin Minter, Barkevious Mingo, Sam Montgomery
Frosh: Kenny Hilliard, Odell Beckham Jr.,

Yeah, I probably should have said 2 years. During the telecast, the announcers said LSU should field a better team next year.

I was mainly looking at that secondary and didn't know they consisted of freshmen and sophomores.

Well, I was speaking mostly of the D players but I disagree with a couple on your list. Not that its worth anything but here's what I would say of these players.

2011: Patrick Peterson, Not a Bust (though its really early in his career and anything can happen)
2009: Tyson Jackson, Bust
2008: Glenn Dorsey, Bust
2007: JaMarcus Russell, Poster Boy for Busts
2007: LaRon Landry, Not a Bust
2007: Dwayne Bowe, Not a Bust (Almost was though Haley had to bust his balls to get his head out of his butt)
2007: Craig Davis, Is he still playing? Bust
2006: Joseph Addai, Not a Bust but injuries have derailed him being a stud
2005: Marcus Spears - Bust 9 sacks in his career and only 127 tackles
2004: Michael Clayton- Bust 1 1k yard receiving season in 8 seasons and hasn't cracked 500 yards either.

 

[EXOTICLEX]

I see a lot of bust on that list.....only Addai, Landy and Bowe have good careers

 

[Grenouille]

I'm not sure Addai can be rated that highly. His first 2 years were pretty good. His last 3 and this year have been pretty average to bad and injury riddled.

Well, I guess losing to the Goofs was the final straw at Illinois.

They fired Ron Zook. They started 6-0 and finished 0-6.

Well that's a given. 50% of 1st round picks are busts anyway.

Yeah, just about 50% rate on 1st round busts. Pretty much the standard.

I wish my Goofs had that problem.

2011: Patrick Peterson, Not a Bust (though its really early in his career and anything can happen)

Peterson is safe from the bust list. Today he tied the single season record for punt return TDs and he's a rookie. That should keep him off the list.

Peterson is safe from the bust list. Today he tied the single season record for punt return TDs and he's a rookie. That should keep him off the list.

But he wasn't drafted to be a kick returner only. Plus one good year on a bad team doesn't take someone off bust list.

 

[316what]

But he wasn't drafted to be a kick returner only. Plus one good year on a bad team doesn't take someone off bust list.

I was incorrect on his record. He is the first player to have 4 80+ yard punt returns for TD in a season.

And him being a dangerous return man had a lot to do with him being drafted where he was drafted.

I agree he probably won't be. That being said its far too early to say for sure.

 

[Grenouille]

They fired Ron Zook. They started 6-0 and finished 0-6.

Good for the Illini. It worked out great for the Gators when they did the same thing.

illinois has been on the decline for a few years now

 

[316what]

Poor Michigan....they dropped in the BCS rankings. And as of right now, are not eligible for an at-large bid. They need some help during Championship Weekend to move up 2 spots.
