Here it is, folks. I'm figuring by the end of the season there will be more Canes on the real list. How about DE Anthony Chickillo? LB Denzel Perryman? CB Tracy Howard or RB Duke Johnson as Rookies of Year?

Who cares that the SEC is top heavy? Year-in and year-out they bring out GREAT programs that win titles. Don't forget that near the end of last year SEC had the top 3 teams in the country. ACC is the Virginia Tech Conference and that's how it will be for the next 5 years.
U were unranked and lost to Maryland Terrapins, also couldn't gain a yard on Kansas State. couldn't beat Virginia, couldn't beat Boston College. Luke "Cluck U" Kuechly dominated you!
I'm a 'Bama fan so I can get away with saying such things. Roll Pig....I mean Tide!

THe SEC wins National Titles because they don't play anybody else because they are scared. ITs easy for a conference to win a National Title when the two teams are from the same conference or they never go play an away game against anybody who is good. SoutheasternChickenshitters should be the name of the conference SLive commishions along with his little NCAA president Emert!

Welcome to the U family Jamal Carter. Wise and smart choice on your behalf to come to the U along with Tracy Howard, Deon Bush and Artie Burns will create the most dominate secondary for years to come. Golden said he was going to put together a strong class even though the number of players would be small and he hasn't dissappointed. Whats that I see the beginning of the end of the Southeasternchickshitters conference. I mean last year U feared playing someone outside your conference for the National Title and more players are choosing the U over you hick nimrods.

You got Jamal Carter. Good for you, you really need players to complement your punter. So you say Golden is so good, blah, blah, blah. Again he is only good at keeping local kids home. A much better and much highly rated CB who hails from Tampa just chose UF. So why compare cane fools? Why are there no Gator fans over reacting to this? Cause it is expected at UF to bring in top recruits and VH 3 is just one more in a long list og top players choosing to play for the Gators.
You did very well to keep Jamal and the other Miami kid home, but really it's no coup, no big deal.
So just enjoy your summer before the losing season returns fools.

Haha!...i love it when people try to tell me how to think, and what to think about!
Just think of all the time and energy "Mr Cluck" expends on our Canes!
See you tomorrow!
GO CANES

very sad when your only noted player is the punter. even if he is a ray guy type. perhaps this year will improve the names on the list
