And I can make the same argument towards you. Did you, Mr. Mecca, make a claim

"No other team can have a turf color other than green, after Boise did that they put in a rule about it."

Yes or no?

Here's my evidence: http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showp...3&postcount=45

I heard Musburger comment that Mays is in some controversy do you know what he was talking about Mecca?

The loss of the 4 LB's who are all starters for their NFL teams now is just crippling. The guys on the field are talented but they don't react as quickly or as surely as the past crew which isn't surprising.

To me when Barkley was named the starter they knew this was a rebuild/down year coming in. The Dline has actually been pretty good, the LB's have been a major downgrade, the CB's have issues Mays is about the only thing in the secondary at this point.

So.... would you rank Oregon above Boise?

Those I remember just off the top of my head mostly because I mentioned them in the college game thread.

ahh ... i missed the first few minutes of the game.

Oh just overblown stuff that he was a headhunter nothing major, early in his career people called him soft now he's being called stuff like dirty and a headhunter.

Sometimes I think people react the way they do to his hits because of how big he is so it looks worse.

This.... he always seems to be around the ball and in the right spot to make a play... and after years of watching our various safeties playing out of position and whiffing on tackles it would be nice to have someone who knows where he needs to be to make a play

If they go on to win the Pac 10.

there is no absolute way you can do that, and if they do, then its absolute BS.

Again, you can't rank a team ahead that they lost to a undefeated team.

I'm sorry, but that's not how it works.

And I'm still waiting for your answer to my previous question.

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

For next week...I'd rate Oregon over Boise...tough shit

[WildTurkey]

Oregon is a good team and especially brutal at Autzen... no surprise that they beat USC

[Mecca]

Well that's how it'll work if Oregon doesn't lose from here on out they're probably going to be ahead of Boise.

Yeah, SC is young. The type of back that has given fits to SC in the past. Mays seems to be coming alive in the 2nd half, did a lot of spectating on tackles.

You could do that, but the fact is that Oregon beat the shit out of USC, actually strengthens Boise St. strength of schedule.
