Andrew Luck Is A Big Stupid Doo Doo Head

Stanford Red Shirt sophomore Andrew Luck has decided to go back to Stanford instead of being the consensus number 1 pick in the NFL Draft. Idiot.

What are the benefits of staying in college.... Nothing. And fuck you Captain before you write a shit comment like get a degree because thats a load of nonsense. He can always get a degree or honorary degree, but he might not always be the number 1 pick in the draft.

The risk heavily outweighs the reward in this situation. Sure he might be scared of the new CBA, or may not want to go to the Panthers or whatever reason however, if he blows out a knee, shoulder or anything else he can say bye bye to the first round or the NFL for that matter. I'm sure he will take out a huge insurance policy on himself, but still architecture isn't that big of a deal Andrew.

We saw this same situation last year when Jake Locker went back to Washington and now his draft stock has dropped significantly.

So today I can say that I'm slightly smarter then someone who went to Stanford.

Carolina Has To Take Luck

There are a lot of articles going around today stating that the Panthers may take a pass on Andrew Luck as the #1 pick in the draft. To me they don't have a choice they HAVE to take him. Clausen is fucking terrible. If you have ever sat down and watched this kid, there isn't much upside. He looks like the game is way to fast for him, doesn't read the defense well, and really hasn't shown me anything to think that will change. Luck on the other hand is the real deal. This kid is going to be a Pro Bowler, and in the NFL now it is all about having an elite QB.

Things can change fast for a franchise. Look at the Rams they just drafted Bradford, and there is a good change they are in the playoffs, and it's not like they have a lot else around him. It will be a busy offseason since the Panthers need to trade Steve Smith, probably one of their RBs, and sign a new head coach. All of that will be for nothing though if they don't draft Andrew Luck.

Turner Gill Takes Kansas Job

As head coach at Buffalo the past four years, he compiled a 20-30 record after inheriting a program with only 12 wins in the previous eight seasons. The Mid-American coach of the year in 2007 and 2008, he guided the Bulls to the MAC championship in 2008 and their first bowl game in half a century.

He called plays in 2007 when the Bulls set a school record with 424 points. A native of Fort Worth, he also proved effective in recruiting players in Texas -- something that is key to success for just about any Big 12 program. ESPN

I love Turner Gill and believe he got a coaching job a year late. (I'm looking at you Auburn) His success with Buffalo is pretty good, even though he has a sub .500 record there what can you expect with that program. He will be very successful in Kansas as Mark Mangino's replacement.

In other coaching news Jim Harbaugh finally made his long-awaited three-year contract extension official Sunday, when the announced a deal that keeps him under contract through 2014. The two sides were close to announcing the extension last year, but put it on hold because of the troubled economy.

Place Your Bets: College Football Week 1

The first week of college football usually features huge spreads as D-IA powerhouses take on IAA cupcakes. For everyone besides Michigan, these are essentially preseason games, with the starters taken out at halftime. These huge spreads make finding good bets a bit harder, but here are 5 that I like...



One spread that really caught my eye was Hawaii @ #5 Florida (-34 1/2). I know Florida's extremely good, Hawaii lost some key players, and the game's in Gainesville, but I just don't see anyone outscoring Hawaii by 5 touchdowns. If Florida racks up 49 points, they'll have to hold Hawaii to 14 in order to cover. Pick: Warriors +34 1/2

Another good one was #17 Virginia Tech (-9) vs. East Carolina in Charlotte (which is actually closer to Blacksburg, VA than Greenville, NC). I honestly don't know much about ECU, but they have Va Tech and West Virginia back-to-back on their schedule, so they got some balls. Still, 9 points isn't enough for them against Virginia Tech in a neutral location. Pick: Hokies -9



Michigan State @ California (-4). Michigan State isn't good enough for such a low spread against a solid Pac-10 team on the road. Pick: Golden Bears -4

#24 Alabama vs. #9 Clemson (-5 1/2) in Atlanta. This is the game I'm looking forward to seeing the most, with Illinois-Missouri a close second. Alabama is one of those SEC teams that's good enough to pull off a big upset of teams like LSU, Auburn, or Tennessee. But I don't think they're good enough to stay with these teams, and teams like Clemson, week in week out. So an upset is very possible, a close game is even more possible, but a Clemson victory by 7+ points is very likely. Pick: Tigers -5 1/2



Another good looking game is Oregon State (-3) @ Stanford. This is a very small spread, which is rare in college football. Stanford might be better than they were in 2007, and Oregon State might be worse, but the Beavers are still on top of the Cardinal. Besides, beavers chop down trees to make dams. Pick: Beavers -3

Stanford Tree's Set To "Leaf"

Robin and Brook Lopez aka the Stanford Tree's(because they are both 7 ft) announced they are going to fore go their junior years and leave for the NBA. Brook averaged 19 points and 9 boards a game, while Robin averaged 10 points and 5 boards a game. Both have tremendous up-side but Brook will be selected earlier in the first round than Robin. This is a huge blow to Stanford, because they thought at least Robin would return, but seriously hard school and essays or millions and strippers. You made the right decision Robin, rock on.
