I was still, idiotically, backing Thigpen and that's when you and I started posting back and forth, and you sent me a friend invite because I was sticking up for Thigpen.
Is it becoming a little clearer now, Sauto?
Mecca wasn't even counting Sanchez as a prospect at that time.I mentioned in a reply to Mecca that I thought Mark was just as good if not better than Stafford, and that for him to be discounted was, and I quote, "short-sighted" on Mecca's part. He then informed me that the common accepted knowledge of the day was that Mark wouldn't declare.
I kept pimping Sanchez anyway. He finally declared.

This is pretty much exactly what happened.
IIRC, DCS and I were the first people to regularly discuss Sanchez. But as pointed out in the above quote, no one, and I mean NO ONE thought he'd declare. Pete Carrol has a knack for getting his QB's to stick around for their senior season.
All that said, does it really ****ing matter anymore?
We got Cassel, they got Sanchez. We'll see in a few years if they both pan out, both fail, or if one team made a better decision than the other.
