Something funny about the Harrel Pick

[Harlan Huckleby]

I don't think TT had any illusions of this guy making a big impact this year, although we'll certainly take whatever we can get.

Whoah, just a second there: he was penciled-in as a starter before he even signed his contract. Now, I know this is McCarthy's decision, not Thompson's, but they have high expectations.

I'm surprised Badger fans haven't mentioned Wendell Bryant, 12th pick in the draft a few years ago. I'm not positive he was ever a starter.

Let this kid get up to game speed before you all start making comparisons. How many college teams each year have their defensive leader as a DLINEMAN? Tennessee could absolutely not stop the run last year, and all their problems started as soon as Harrell went down with the injury.

Some of you need to get your heads out of big 11 country, there is much better football being played down south and on the west coast.

I disagree with you big ten notion, but agree with your Harrell notion.

Right now I am in the heart of SEC country and I am so sick of seeing Gator this gator that all over the damn place. SEC is a very tough division no doubt, but I am so sick of hearing the big ten get dragged through the dirt like they are a talentless conference.

They are deeper in basketball and possibly football this year too. 4 teams in the big ten have top 10 potential. That is pretty darn impressive.

Likewise, the Pac-10 sucks. USC and Cal are the only decent team year in and year out. Occasionally, a Washington or Washington State steps up. Oregon too.
