I agree with your thoughts on how things have been with big ten country....but think also that the SEC run of championships may be changing that a little.

Yeah, but the other side of that is that everyone on the planet knows that. You have even USC going 3000 miles to recruit out of Florida. I agree that Florida produces more talent than say Michigan, Ohio, etc. and they are more willing to leave Florida. Having said that, you and I aren't the only ones who realize that.

Hey, you're picking on my guy Billy Gonzales now. Yeah, a LOT of people were suspicious that Urban Meyer didn't exactly fight tooth and nail to keep him at Florida and passed him for promotions within the staff like OC, etc. Funny, how things get explained most of the time huh?

Hey c on z, here is a REAL tough one for you (and I'm serious). Most overrated "he will give us a recruiting pipeline to Florida." Earl Lane or Billy Gonzales? Pick your poison!!!

IIRC, Valentine's issue has to do with needing 2 foreign languages for the U and only 1 for lsu.

Little known fact. Dre Kirkpatrick speaks 5 languages fluently. English is the only one he has trouble with in conversation.

Still love his NSD commitment. "Dis hat right heyuh, ain't got no sweatuh. So, in a get me some sweatuh".
After intense translation research, I discovered he was attempting to explain how the Texas hat did not put forth the proper amount of "swagger", not "sweatuh". Gadsden, Al is not know for its scholastic acumen. Thriving crack industry, though.
