And even if we reduced goodwill to Florida football players Derrick Brooks has spent a hall of fame career both on and off the field — and Tebow got more pub in one night than DB ever has.

This is not tebow’s fault of course.

Look, I could care less about USC. Seriously, but I’m ridin’ with talent any day.

But you of all people know what I say: “Hard work beats talent, when talent fails to work hard.”

USC flubbed against Jaquizz so now they sit home but…

Bradford looked shook last night. How the hell could those two teams play for the championship?

I promised myself I wasn’t going to post a college piece because of the non playoff. This whole thing is the most ridiculous piece of bs ever. How can you not have a playoff?

Now I gotta headache. I’m going to bed. Have a good weekend my people. NFL picks are posted.

I agree about the playoff…should be a playoff. Utah, USC, Utah, Florida, Oklahoma, Texas… ’nuff said.

Just a question I’m posing: I know OK State lost their bowl game to Oregon, but before that…they’d dropped games to the #2 and #1 ranked teams in the nation and got NO love…explanation???

And now for the finale: Tim Tebow.

I struggled with actually diggin Tebow when he was a freshman because cats were jockin and my man CLeak was puttin in WORK! THEN, LEAK DIDNT GET DRAFTED…that REALLY pissed me off. So I was anti-Tebow to a degree. But I recognize ball-players. And that’s EXACTLY what Tebow is. Yes, the press is a little excessive. And wouldnt be the same if he were Black (witness VY). BUT Tebow is a helluva player. And his off-field exploits should be highlighted. I dont disagree with that. But it should be other cats in the limelight too. I just did a story on Akeem Jordan of the Eagles and he used to visit juvenile homes while he was at JMU (D 1AA). No one prolly knew that…and there are probably plenty others that do the same. But Tebow is an excellent college player. You can not deny him that at all.

That being said, Ernie Davis or Barry Sanders was the best college player of all-time, Mike Crabtree (who I’ve been on for like 3 YEARS) should probably be the #2 pick in the draft IMO, Colt McCoy is a better QB than Tebow, and Harvin was MOP of the Chip…

I can see how Tebow is a polarizing figure…But Mizzo u killin me with the USC talk man…

My question is: Would USC become the modern version of 1980′s DePaul basketball? Would the Aguirre, Cumminngs, Dillard, Bradshaw, Comegys first round flameouts continue in a playoff format?

What do you think the topic was?

Yup, “Is Tim Tebow the greatest college football player ever!”.

Of course, Skip was riding Tebow’s 1s & 2s but i didn’t stick around long enough to hear what Stephen A. had to say, being that I no longer watch BSPN. But come on, Teebow the greatest college player EVER!!!

Give me a freekin’ break already.

My, how soon people forget about Vince Young.

Back in the day, I remember hearing a stat that during the Steelers SB run in the 1970′s, they were something like 50-1 vs. sub .500 teams. They beat who they were supposed to beat. USC does not beat who they’re supposed to beat. Stanford, UCLA, Oregon State (2x), Oregon — that’s not greatness. In that conference, they’ve gotta run the table.

Remember how dominant Florida State and Miami were before joining conferences of regular opponents with comparable budgets? The PAC-10, post-Don James and Terry Donohue, has become so stratified. Its USC and everyone else. Cal and Oregon have been tough over the past decade, but that’s not a conference…SC doesn’t even play Oregon every year.

Texas has a stronger argument than USC. Texas barely lost a tight game and played infinitely better competition during the season. Were it not for Bob Stoopid Stoops’ ineptitude, OU probably wins that game. He snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. With that said, I don’t think OU is very good. I’ve seen this movie at least three times — prolific passing QB (Hypel, White, Bradford), 5 fast receivers, play-makers in secondary (Roy Williams — Nick Harris), and an awful showing in a big game. Were it not for Chris Weinke and his unparalleled mediocrity, Stoops would be winless in BIG BAD BOWL GAMES.

Mizzo — we agree about Utah. After what I saw from them, I don’t think they’d have much trouble with either Florida or Oklahoma. Hindsight is 20/20, but in the absence of a playoff, its all we’ve got.

After watching last night’s game, I am firmly convinced that Tim Tebow sucks. He’s a great college player in a great system. His unique physical talents (which really don’t include passing or running very far) work for UF. The keys to the success of that team, though, are guys like Percy Harvin and the defensive coaching of Charlie Strong. The other folks are along for the ride.

Do your loyalty ma. I can’t hate.

I can’t stand USC, but they were the best team this year and probably every year.

You can say the same for Utah (this year).

Sorry.

You can have your win.

Congrats…but it ain’t true. You ever in Philly, ditch the cheese steaks and come get some real grub.

It wouldn’t be true if USC was declared the champ.

There’s no playoff, just a bunch of cojones azul.

This discussion is so frustrating.

So we have 2 more months of this mess.

Tyler Hansborough and Tebow are the greatest college athletes of all time if you listen to them.

Oh and after Vince’s 200/200 game they (media) were hating the next week.

Utah got screwed and somebody stole the grease.

Kirk that’s all I’m trying to get across regarding Tebow. It’s not the player, it’s the hype.

I have to disagree with you regarding the fawning of Black quarterbacks…because it’s never the same.

Randy Moss could possibly be one of the best college players of all time and the hype was nothing near this.

I spoke of 200/200 mainly because it is the standard. I don’t expect anyone to duplicate something so sickdiculous. I don’t hear too many people in my field regard his performance as the best championship performance of all time–in any sport.

That’s what it was.

Short memories…

Sam Bradford won the Heisman, but I’d take Tebow’s heart any day. There wasn’t enough umph to satisfy a championship game.

I’m seeing Detmer and Garcia and I don’t think he’s as good as either of them.

Crabtree IMO had two great seasons and legacy wise, what does he have to show for it besides one Biletnikoff?

He’s doubled and tripled every game and still gets his.

Harvin is good, but I’m sticking with Mike. Like Temple stated in my Donovan piece, it’s difficult for receivers coming into the league, but the young fella looks like a can’t miss.

Quarterbacks winning this award based on having the ball in their hands all the time is a farce. I’d say the same thing if my son was up for the award…well not publicly

This system is cheating the fans of the sport. I can’t watch it and that’s crazy. I love college football but not having a true champion is like having the baddest woman alive slam the door in your face after a great date when all you wanted was to come in and talk.
