on the stadium ive seen it a couple times and was at an am game once. the thing i noticed is very active fans, very knowledeable, very classy, a lot like the guys who post here. that being said im sure texas will have "new" fans who tend to be more obnixous and what not after their recent success, the same as theosu has had in recent years. just very nice people who understood football and actually showed in interest in me and me enjoying the game 9granted i was a neutral fan)

i still think we have a slight edge in coaching with tressel. though imo brown outcoached tressel last year. there will be doubters who will feel he needs to "prove himself again" now that young is gone. but many felt the same way about tressel after krenzel and co departed. imo brown is a big time coach. i like my guy better, but yours is the real deal.

"National champion in 110-meter high hurdles as a junior (2003) and owned the best time in the nation as a senior (2004), when he won the state title for the second consecutive year in time of 13.40 ... clocked a 13.26 in the state prelims... has been timed at 10.5 seconds in the 100-meter dash

A 10.5 hand timed 100m is equivalant to a 10.74 FAT using the standard 0.24 conversion. He roughly needs to cut 0.7 off that to make the 4x100relay. (Jamaal is a couple tenths shy too) The Olympics doesn't use highschool hurdles. His 13.40 probably means he could run a sub 14 second 110HH, but that is a long way from the 13.1 or so it takes to make the US Olympic team.

Who the hell cares? Tedd Ginn is obviously about as good as a sprinter coming out of high school as you will find. How many high schoolers are Olympic-caliber right then anyway? Pretty much none, aside from some juiced East Germans of the '80's maybe. The fact is that Ginn DOES have Olympic sprinting ability, and he just happens to use that on a football field right now. Sure he would have to dedicate himself to track and field if he ever wanted to go that route, but who wouldn't? He's got as much sprinting ability as almost any Olympic-caliber athlete ever did. He'll get his chance to use it if he passes on football after college.
