2011 TOSTITOS BCS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME: #1 Auburn Tigers vs. #2 Oregon Ducks. Is Auburn Quarterback Cam Newton Good Enough?

PrintIn just one year, Auburn Tigers quarterback Cameron Newton became one of the most polarizing players in college football. Newton dominated pretty much the entire year and the end result, he found himself holding a Heisman Trophy. He showed that even during the little circus side show that happened just weeks ago, that nothing could phase him. He has overcome several obstacles throughout his college career, most of which came at the junior college level.
Tonight, Newton, Fairely and the rest of the Tigers will have a tough time keeping up with the high-octane offense of the Oregon Ducks as well as containing them. The Ducks offense averaged nearly 50 points a game this year. When a team can manage an average of that many points-per-game, it really doesn't matter too much what the other team is doing. However, the kicker in the equation is that the Tigers were no slouch on offense either. Auburn was 4th in the nation as far as points-per-game were concerned with 42.7 which is just about a touchdown's difference.
The Ducks defense was ranked 12th in the nation while the Tigers were ranked 54th. Defense could be the difference and most likely will be. Whoever can slow the other team down the best will have the edge.
Through out the history of the BCS National Championship there have been some great games and on the other side of that, some very one-sided games. This is the very first appearance in the big dance for both Oregon and Auburn.
The BCS National Championship game draws close to as much attention nationally as the Superbowl does. In essence, this is college football's Superbowl. However, it is always a topic of discussion - will there be a playoff system? If so, how many games would it be? How many teams would it feature? Is it possible for teams like TCU and Boise State to ever make an appearance? All of those questions will continued to be asked no matter if the NCAA makes a change or not. I, for one, am hoping that the future holds change to the current system in place.
With that said, we're stuck with what we have. Tonight's game, regardless of how they (Oregon and Auburn) earned their spots, is the Superbowl for us, die-hard, crazy, fanatical, college football fans. Personally, I'm curious to see what kind of wacky uniforms the Ducks will run out of the tunnel with.
For more on the game, join below to see some of the players to watch and that will have a major impact on this evenings match up.
#1 AUBURN TIGERS VS. #2 OREGON DUCKS
KEY PLAYERS IN TONIGHT'S NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP
THE DUCKS (Top 6):
1 - QB (Sophomore) Darron Thomas: Thomas, like Cam Newton has the ability to flat out fly when he isn't in the pocket tossing the ball around. Look for a good mixture of both this evening.
2 - RB (Sophomore RS) LaMichael James: Most people thought James was a lock to enter the NFL Draft this year. He must want to get a degree, or be the number one running back selected in the draft. Either way, he has been the best running back in college football. We will see a heavy dose of James along with a side of Kenjon Barner.
3 - RB (Sophomore) Kenjon Barner: If you want to give your star running back a breather, then there is nobody better (with exception to maybe Alabama's Trent Richardson) to give the ball to as a second option. Aside from James' phenomenal year, Barner actually averaged a half yard more than James per carry on the year with 6.5.
4 - WR (Senior) Jeff Maehl: When Thomas isn't running the rock around the yard, he's usually getting it to this guy. Maehl has caught 68 passes on the year, averaging 13.9 YAR, and has 12 Touchdowns on the year. If Auburn's defense is not careful and mindful of where Maehl is at all times, he is a guy that could burn them and be the difference.
5 - LB (Senior) Casey Mathews: LIke his brother (Clay Jr.), his father (Clay Sr.), and uncle (Bruce), it was in this guys DNA to play football at a extremely high level. It really surprises me that Casey has not been ranked higher at his respective position. I believe he deserves a 1st round grade. Maybe by the end of this one and the Senior Bowl he will be. But currently, I have not seen him rated higher than the 2nd round. He should play a major role in trying to slow down Cam Newton.
5 - CB (Freshman) Cliff Harris: Harris has five interceptions on the year. He, and teammate John Boyett are tied leading the Pac-10. It would not surprise me to see either one of these guys pluck a Newton pass off tonight. When asked about Cam Newton's size during media week, Harris responded with, "So what?". Now if that's not literally insanity when you're only 5'11", 170 LBS, I don't know what is.
6 - S (Sophomore RS) John Boyett: Like Harris, Boyett has five balls picked off. They both have taken the ball back to the house for scores as well. They will be lurking in the Ducks secondary licking their chops at this tremendous opportunity to shine.
THE TIGERS (Top 6):
1- QB (Junior) Cam Newton: Cam Newton will play a huge factor in how he is perceived by everyone. Tonight is his last college game before he heads off in to the NFL. Much like Ryan Mallett, his draft stock could be heavily influenced by what he does on the field tonight. There will be a bunch of folks watching very close tonight. Which could possibly include the 49ers scouting department considering how close the game is geographically to San Francisco. Newton will carve out his destiny in where he will be selected in April.
2- RB (Freshman) Michael Dyer: Dyer has been Auburn's work horse this year. All the glory has been given to Cam Newton (with 20 rushing touchdowns), and McCalebb (with 9 rushing touchdowns). Most of Dyers rushing touchdowns have been longer than his average. When the Tigers get in to the redzone, they typically give it to their 250 pound running back who also happens to play quarterback.
3- RB (Sophomore) Onterio McCalebb: McCalebb averages 8.9 yards per carry. He is very explosive and very dangerous. Anytime he touches the ball it could go for six.
4- WR (Junior) Darvin Adams: Adams has been very solid for all three of his years at Auburn. I certainly expect him to be solid in this game as well. Adams has great hands and runs very crisp routes. The Oregon secondary is very good, but if they aren't careful, Adams is one of those guys that can break loose if he gets in the zone.
5- OT (Senior) Lee Zeimba: At 6'6", 319 LBS he presents a mountain of a man to get around. The linebackers and defensive ends should consider packing a lunch trying to go around Zeimba. He will be a good pick up for an NFL team. He is a bit raw, but has potential to turn in to something great.
6- DT (Junior) Nick Fairely: Perhaps the best defensive lineman in college football this year. Fairley is not exactly Ndamukong Suh, but he is this years closest thing to it. Fairely has dominated the competition all year long. Oregon's offensive line will be have all the work in the world cut out for them to slow this metaphorical beast.
Game prediction - With all factors included, this game is still a very difficult one to predict. However, as mentioned before, the Oregon Ducks have not paid any attention to an opposing defense as they scored at will. They played one SEC team this year and completely dominated them. Tennessee isn't exactly Auburn, but it goes to show that a team from that conference can get annihilated.
If I were Lee Corso, I'd be putting the Duck mascot head on. Oregon will win and there will be 80+ points scored in this years National Championship.

me too!
i got a bet in Las Vegas on a parlay for Oregon win, and Over 71pts… so hoping for like 42-38 win. lol
OHHHHHH!!! Take That With Youuuuuu!!!
Lower scoring than you think
When defenses have a MONTH to study to offense they are covering, it tends to be more low scoring than you think.
Guys pay close attention to Cam Newton, I think I’m the only guy on here that actually likes him. He has some red flags (which QB doesn’t), but he is a talent passing and running the ball.
I honestly see Locker being the first off the board, and Newton going to us at 7.
Im going to wait off on the Cam Newton hate
Untill after this game and combine to evalutae how good a qb he is.
He is a FREAK tho

I don't think you have to worry.
He just doesn’t fit.
Some of us will do our jobs well and some will not, but we will be judged by only one thing -- the result. -Lombardi
He'll probably be throwing things too
You know … footballs … heh .. heh heh … ahhhhh.
Anyway, we’re drafting Gabbert. I’m about 90% sure of this.
And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.

I think the Cards are gonna take Locker... just have a gut feeling.
And the Bills have Fitzpatrick… he did very well this year. The Bills hate drafting QB’s. But Mallett may be a better fit there considering how much shotgun they run.
Some of us will do our jobs well and some will not, but we will be judged by only one thing -- the result. -Lombardi
I feel like Gabbert could honestly be the first quarterback taken, at 7.
And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
Twitter | SB Nation Bay Area | SaberCats Examiner | Niners Nation | FTF Mod
It's pre-hype.
Every single year one or two will rise after the regular season ends, the draft experts will build him up and we’ve all identified Gabbert as that guy who will rise. Either way, seven will either be the first quarterback taken, or no worse than second.

I stand by my desire for Jake Locker.
And really, nobody can convince me otherwise.

2nd round only for me.
But yeah.
Some of us will do our jobs well and some will not, but we will be judged by only one thing -- the result. -Lombardi
Well ...
… I do still believe that there are starting caliber corners in the second round at our pick, which means if we need a QB and Locker is there, we go ahead and reach for him and not think twice about it.
And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.

Just as long as we don't trade up.

Thats what people said about Jimmy Clausen too.

Good point
I’d be thrilled if we could land Locker in the second, and if there’s a QB who falls in this draft it could be him
fell to pick 48...
I honestly believe if he woulda been there at 49, we would have had him instead of Taylor Mays
Some of us will do our jobs well and some will not, but we will be judged by only one thing -- the result. -Lombardi
Yeah, I wouldn't have been able to argue at that point.

locker is another alex smith
Locker has same problems as alex smith: lack of accuracy and no decision making ability
by ninerafficionado on Jan 10, 2011 6:45 PM PST up reply actions
Ummm
Alex Smith had those problems largely because he was badly developed. Locker has put up decent numbers on one of the worst teams in the Pac-10.
Stolen from manraj7, with some additions:
1. Jake Locker QB Wasington 2. Jimmy Smith CB Colorado (or Best CB Available) 3. Christian Ballard DE Iowa 4a. Owen Marecic FB/ST Stanford 4b. Kai Forbath K UCLA 5. Running Back 6a. Defensive Lineman 6b. Guard or Center 7. Whatever's left!
I actually like Locker
I think the fact that he did pretty decently with an awful team speaks volumes about his ability.
Well...then you'd be right.

Talentless hack.

McShay
Gabbert, I’m not sold on either. But Mayock is the only draft expert worth his salt.
And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
Twitter | SB Nation Bay Area | SaberCats Examiner | Niners Nation | FTF Mod
Kiper is at least 50/50 with his analysis...
…at least that I agree with.
Some of us will do our jobs well and some will not, but we will be judged by only one thing -- the result. -Lombardi
I'll give you that.
I just don’t know whether the analysis is even his own anymore.
And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
Twitter | SB Nation Bay Area | SaberCats Examiner | Niners Nation | FTF Mod
probably becasue Mayock is the only draft expert
who actually watches the entire career of the prospects on film. I think McShay and Kiper and the other big names stopped watching actual film long ago. Mayock will take a recruit and watch his entire college career and that goes even for the guys buried in the later rounds of the draft.
I get the legitimate feeling that Mayock loses a lot of sleep watching film.

hugely under-appreciated commentator
needs to get more NFL commentating gigs. Now he does a bunch of college
It depends on what Jim Harbaugh thinks of him
Does anybody know what JH thinks about him?
fire Moran Norris
hire Owen Marecic
He won't say anything now. We'll find out who he likes on draft day.
fire Moran Norris
hire Owen Marecic
I'd like us to take a serious look at Scott Tolzien from Wisconsin.
We can probably get him as a 4th rounder. He seems like he’d be an excellent fit for Harbaugh’s schemes.
Some of us will do our jobs well and some will not, but we will be judged by only one thing -- the result. -Lombardi
Just throwing a late round name out there
Greg McElroy, especially if we’re going WCO. His biggest knock is arm strength, and I could see him succeeding with the coaching.
And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
Twitter | SB Nation Bay Area | SaberCats Examiner | Niners Nation | FTF Mod
Well,
you don’t really need to have a rifle arm to succeed in the WCO. Montana didn’t have a gun really… just was great at getting the ball where it needed to go, being very good at reads, and touch… all of which McElroy has been good at in college. I would not mind McElroy either. Tolzien is sort of the same way.
Some of us will do our jobs well and some will not, but we will be judged by only one thing -- the result. -Lombardi
Yep, that's why I had my eye on McElroy
Somebody asked me about him on Twitter about a week ago, and also earlier today. So I’ve watched a lot of him, I like his arm for the WCO.
And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
Twitter | SB Nation Bay Area | SaberCats Examiner | Niners Nation | FTF Mod
I've seen him play
he’s got a good release when he throws, so he would be solid for the WCO.
OHHHHHH!!! Take That With Youuuuuu!!!
Put put much more nicely than that.

…maybe we can get him back with the 7th rounder that we got for him?

What about Pennington?
That’s the most attractive “stopgap” in my view.

Twitter | SB Nation Bay Area | SaberCats Examiner | Niners Nation | FTF Mod
I love Pennington
and I think he still has it if he can stay healthy.

I've always been a fan of Mr. Noodle Arm himself.

How come no one wants to recognize that the Tampa 2 defense killed those WCO
Weak armed QB won’t get it done these days.
It's Whore-baugh, remember?

bad mechanics and a weird throwing motion. dont think he would fit great. he has a great running game to rely on and doesnt have high caliber accuracy

i didnt want him before
but im starting to warm up to him… But with teams like Panthers, Bills, and Cards ahead of us, they might get dibs. Also with Cleveland ahead of us, they might trade down with someone like Redskins or Titans in need at the QB position as well…
OHHHHHH!!! Take That With Youuuuuu!!!
I will be really surprised if both teams don't score over 30 points each
Some of us will do our jobs well and some will not, but we will be judged by only one thing -- the result. -Lombardi
I'd take it.
Some of us will do our jobs well and some will not, but we will be judged by only one thing -- the result. -Lombardi
So what are you thinking now?
I know it could still be 30, but first quarter is pretty much over.
I told you, part of Oregon’s thing is to catch the defense unprepared with the quick offense, and when the defense has a month to prepare, it’s a little different.
I think Oregon puts some points up in the 2nd half after the defense gets tired but I told you guys it would be lower scoring than you thought
If harbaugh wanted newton
I would be okay with that. Dude is awesome.
This will be the sixth (I think) time I’ve watched him, but the first as a potential pick.
He IS the highest rated passer in the nation. He’s definitely not awful.

I think he is legit
My only knock is he has only been doing it for one year. But man is he a beast running and passing.
hasnt he only thrown like 300 passes?

Before this game
258 passes. Granted those are just game time passes, but not a lot to trust for a #7 draft pick.
I mean, ONLY one year. Nothing to point to aside from just this one year. I’m really interested to see how he does at the pro day and combine. Someone is going to fall in love with his athletic ability.
He does a LOT of things right, but just only over 1 year.
Lets go Oregon!
I wanna see at least 50 put up by both teams tonight.

if we dont bring back Westbrook at RB, what do you gusy think of
Shane Vereen of Cal? Speedy back, could compliment Gore very well. Can run and play reciever in the back or at the line. Also do kick and punt returns. And he could be a good mid round draft pick up. I’m not that high on Dixon at the moment.. expected a little more from him last year, but then again he was taught elementary running plays by Singletary and Raye
OHHHHHH!!! Take That With Youuuuuu!!!
I think Vereen is a guy we should set our sights on, personally.

Okay 3rd? Was hoping to use it on OLB or DE for that
i was thinking 1st round QB (whoever is best for us), 2nd round on Jimmy Smith CB, 3rd round on OLB, DE, or RB then…
Gore will be 28 soon, and he hasn’t been able to stay healthy for an enitre season… It troubles me, but he’s very well on a decline now :(. Hopefully with Harbaugh, we will have a more 2 back system, instead of just giving all the carries to Gore.
OHHHHHH!!! Take That With Youuuuuu!!!
Vereen might be available in the third, sure.
If he’s there in the third, I take him without thinking twice, but a needy team might take him in the late second, even.

no idea!
I think if Mooch (former Cal HC) was still our head coach back then, he would of picked up more local guys. That means he would of favored Aaron Rodgers over Alex Smith! smh…
OHHHHHH!!! Take That With Youuuuuu!!!
Good point
Now that we have a Bay Area head coach, maybe we’ll be more inclined to pick up local guys.

Because of the terminology they use to describe the grandparents?
Looking forward to watching Newton in this game.
I don’t think he can really convince me he can be an NFL passer, since he has so few career attempts, but I’m gonna watch and see anyways. :}

God damn iPhone. What I meant to say was
I know a former ucla track guy who said the Oregon locker rooms look like something from a mansion. Mohagany lockers with individual air conditioning units, totally decked out. All paid for by Nike. Same reason the Ducks football team has about 40 different uniform combos.

I think the Broncos did a great job of trading in the draft
from what I’ve been told, the picks that they used to get Tebow were all “unoriginal” draft picks.
How do you know?
The guy has only played in a couple games. Give him at least a season before you call him a bust. Sheesh.
Stolen from manraj7, with some additions:
1. Jake Locker QB Wasington 2. Jimmy Smith CB Colorado (or Best CB Available) 3. Christian Ballard DE Iowa 4a. Owen Marecic FB/ST Stanford 4b. Kai Forbath K UCLA 5. Running Back 6a. Defensive Lineman 6b. Guard or Center 7. Whatever's left!
yup
they moved back a bunch of times in the draft, had a bunch of 2nd, 3rders and packaged those to move up.
They got 2 first round picks out of that draft.
The last time I saw that good of maneuvering
was with the Browns when they got Brady Quinn and Joe Thomas
I like those helmet's except for the day-gloo ( O ) on it ...!!

Oregon's offense doesn't look too impressive
It seems like it’s based a lot of fakes and deceptions that just aren’t working.
It's like that triple option play the Rams tried to run against us where we returned the fumble for a touchdown.
But without the fumbles and with the ridiculous sacks. Also it happens over and over again.

I'm no expert
I just watch where he’s looking. The play in question he stared at one guy up the middle for about one second, then ran.

Auburn uses him to run a lot though.
That’s his gig, it’s not to say he can’t do it though.
Did you see that throw for the 1st down. That’s the stuff I like.
Yeah, I know -- he's a running QB
You mean the play where he slipped, got up, and winged it left for a 1st? He’s got good athleticism, but he doesn’t read the defense much as a pocket passer, which he’d need to learn to do to make his money in the NFL.

He isn't asked to do it
He is a one read then run guy, it’s what Auburn wants him to do. He isnt a pocket passer so maybe he could do it really well at NFL level.
I agree, it’s a lot of risk at 7, but all QBs have risk. I’m just saying that guy is like the LeBron of NFL QBs.

Remember what happened the last smart QB we had. He was paralyzed by his mind.
I’m not saying we take him #7, I’m just saying he has ability, and could be VERY good. To say he is an idiot is not based on anything.
Anyone here think Vick is a “smart” guy? No but he can make good decisions on the football field, and that’s what matters. I don’t need him to write an essay on particle theory, I just want him to kknow that when the safety blitzes, he has one on one coverage with VD. Doesn’t take a whole lot of smarts for that.

Tim Kawakami on Harbaugh's QB Search: http://blogs.mercurynews.com/kawakami/2011/01/10/the-harbaugh-qb-challenge-whats-the-criteria-and-which-qbs-might-fit-it/
During his talks last week with the 49ers, according to an NFL source, Harbaugh was very clear that he felt he could find a QB in the draft, and possibly wouldn’t even need to use the No. 7 overall pick to do it. That makes sense: No. 7 might be too low to get Cam Newton (and I’m not sure if he’d fit Harbaugh’s system), and is probably too high for Missouri’s Blaine Gabbert, Arkansas’ Ryan Mallett and Washington’s Jake Locker. * Note on Locker: Lots of physical tools, but I really don’t see him as a Harbaugh type. (More on his presumed "type" below.) Plus, would any coach use the No. 7 pick–or even a 2nd-rounder–on a QB he beat 41-0, at Washington, in 2010 2009, and held to 64 passing yards? Harbaugh could be looking at a 2nd-rounder who could slide right into his system, somebody like Florida State’s Christian Ponder or Boise State’s Kellen Moore, maybe. (Moore looks more like a 3rd- or 4th-rounder to me, actually.)
Tim isn't very good reporting on QBs
He’s much better at sniffing out organizational structure stories. He was the guy betting his life savings the 49ers would draft Clausen.
It's Whore-baugh, remember?
must say a lot about his life savings.
TKs prolly the type of guy who spends the majority of free time poaching interns and drinking sake bombs
He has a good point with Locker though
Harbaugh has seen him up close and personal a lot. I’m sure he isn’t very impressed.
As for Clausen
Had he not gone 48 he may have gone to us at 49, so is he wrong? He heard we wanted him, and he was probably right.
Maybe they would have
because they thought Iupati would be gone by 17th pick. He may have gone there but then when Iupati was there, Singletary threatened to punch Baalke if he didn’t take Iupati.
Remember, our HC doesn’t think the QB is important. It’s not to say we wouldn’t have taken him at 17 if things weren’t a little bit different with how the chips fell in the draft.

No, I remember what he wrote
If Clausen was there he’d be drafted. He was their #1 target according to Tim. He was expecting Clausen to be drafted at #13
It's Whore-baugh, remember?
I'm not saying he knows everything
But maybe his source said Niners like Clausen a lot, and have a first round grade on him, and TK ran with it.
Point is, Clausen was liked by us, and COULD have gone to us in the first.
I see your point though.
The 49ers were interested in Clausen
But he reported like his source was making the pick in the 49ers war room, there wasn’t a question he’d be the pick.
It's Whore-baugh, remember?

I think he takes Niners job. More stability with Harbaugh and the Yorks than Garrett and Jerry.
Plus our defense is better.
Yeah no way Dallas gets him
Just don’t see it. That franchise is like a feather in the wind. Who knows where they would be tomorrow.
I see Manusky in CAR as DC or SD. I guess DAL could throw money at Manusky.
Back to Fangio, he has background with Harbaugh, just don’t see him going to DAL
we've always had a reason to hate them.

Twitter can't be trusted
Lombardi put this in his weekly article. I’m lazy but it’s on NFL.com right now. Look at his bullet points.
It's Whore-baugh, remember?
I just think Manusky had a bad year.
Also my theory on DC’s is if they don’t already have an NFL job than they aren’t really any good. If you are bouncing around from college to the pros than you are Bill Davis.
It's Whore-baugh, remember?
Can I jump in?
Fangio’s defense has gotten worse the longer he has been with the team. A lot of it is because he loses Vet talent, but it also says to me that he doesn’t do a good job getting his Rookies ready.
My concern with those type of defenses, is they gamble a lot, and if they don’t have the corners they tend to get burned. Look at GB, they have two pretty good corners. Whereas Saints run a similar defense and got killed. I don’t think we have the staff for that much of an aggressive defense.
Manusky plays vanilla with safety help because he knows if he blitzes, we get burned for a 60 yard TD.
This is true , about his Defense decling year after year , except @ Stanford ...!!
I'm your " Huckelberry "...it's just my game ...Jimmy Raye your no daisy ...!!
I thought Manusky wasn't gonna be retained?
Jim Harbaugh, new Head Coach of the San Francisco 49ers. Now what?
WHAAAAAAAA?
Why?

Or Sander’s house or something, and then lying about it after.
He was at some party at an agents house or something close.

My thoughtful watermelon is easily mistook for an early American catapult.
did that right knee touch though?

I'd vote Fairley personally
He dominated. But Dyer came up big when it counted

You can have an offensive and defensive MVP in college football bowl games

Makes that easy then

NVM
enough time for a play + they got 2 TO
but is it worth the risk?
あなたの取り引きは何ですか？！
( Anata no torihiki wa nan desu ka? ! )
Now they'll give Auburn the ball on the 1 yard line to kick the game winner

oh man
he is down on the one yard line.
they kick field goal then miss.
lol
ducks win in overtime
that would be crazy

This makes no sense
Drain the clock first at least

Would a FG run out the rest of the clock?
Or would there still be a chance for a miracle TD return?

Can somebody explain to me why they are kicking it?
AUBURN HAS 2 TIME OUTS! 10 SECONDS IS ENOUGH FOR A SNEAK PLAY.
Sorry about caps, but this is absolutely befuddling.
I agree
Apparently given time, they agree as well

I hope the kick is muffed for such wussy pc
It's the right play to kill the time
Although a part of me wanted to see the game end with a 20 lateral kick return.

Horrible Horrible Way To LOSE
Wholey shoots and ladders, Tim K tweeted me that Harbough is my uncle, but he still needs to verify his sources after he gets his cavity filled

This win and season will be nullified
due to Cam violation
Kellen Moore is awesome
Katie Mcgrath is our savior
so regardless of the reason, does this mean the win is legit?
Will the NCAA come in when the SEC said it was cool with it?
You cant change the rules for one team
The thing that happened to USC will happen to Auburn
Kellen Moore is awesome
Katie Mcgrath is our savior
the SEC is ok with it ..
because of the payday of a national championship game. They sure as hell aren’t gonna sit down the #1 draw.
Its a clear violation
SEC rules say that if someone or their representative asks for money from any SEC school they are ineligible from all SEC schools.
Kellen Moore is awesome
Katie Mcgrath is our savior
haha
but no its against the rules to ask for money with or without knowledge of the student athlete. The NCAA better act or when someone comes around send the kid upstairs and ask for money. Kid didn’t know so its all good.
Kellen Moore is awesome
Katie Mcgrath is our savior
And the strange things that people do with it.

1100+ comments this year...
637 last year…
We’ll shoot for 1500+ next year.

I suspect it will be lower next year
especially if the 49ers do well… that way we aren’t desperate for a QB
Pretty much
I like the harbaugh threads though. Good times

Depends on who is in it

Thoughts on Cam Newton?
I can’t say he had a great game, but he didn’t mess it up too bad either (that fumble in the 4th ….)
I don’t think he really changed anybody’s mind tonight.
Congratulations Tko Spikes
"You know whats funny? I always thought uhm dogs lay eggs and I learned something new today" Peter Griffin
49ers found their QB
He didn’t play in this game
It's Whore-baugh, remember?

After just watching the "best" QB in college football
I’m even more appreciative of what Luck has done for the Cardinal.
Seriously, I think Stanford could beat Oregon, Auburn, or TCU. Other than their loss against Oregon earlier this year, I have seen nothing this season that indicates that there is a better team than the Cardinal. If only there wasn’t a BCS system…
by WasabiTorture on Jan 10, 2011 9:28 PM PST reply actions 1 recs
Well they didnt beat Oregon
If anything TCU deserves the shot.
But yeah a playoff would be nice
by EcERyda69 on Jan 10, 2011 9:30 PM PST via mobile up reply actions
They should rename it to the Bible bowl
Yeah I’m no longer on the Cam band wagon, Unfortunately Blaine Gabbert more than likely will go the CAR BC$ fail.
At this time i would like to congratulate the national champion...
Eastern Washington Eagles, who battled the Delaware Blue Hens 20-19, in the finals of the FCS Championship tournament. Well done, boys.
The NCAA says that the playoffs makes the system into a professional situation.
Kellen Moore is awesome
Katie Mcgrath is our savior
You don't want to lose the amateurism of the college game
Kellen Moore is awesome
Katie Mcgrath is our savior
exactly...
particularly after watching the University of Phil Knight battle the truly amateur Auburn squad.

The NCAA..
will say whatever they need to say to line their pockets. I guarantee the student athletes at EWU are actual students.
