Confused about those B1G rankings. Nebraska was like 4-8 last year with wins over a bunch of nobodies. Michigan cratered and lost some of their best players. I guess you could kind of say that about our defense, too, but I'm happy just to be preseason ranked. Notre Dame will forever hover around the top ten but they'll lose to UGA in September so there's not much pollsters can do about it other than continue to rank them right where they are. If A&M was ever going to surprise anyone and get into the playoff, they could steal two of the Clemson, Bama, and UGA games and make it happen. This might be their only chance, especially considering they get the little sisters of the blind for their other 3 nonconference games.
I think the way TCU finished, outside of issues at QB, they should be in the mix somewhere in the 20-25 range. Iowa State in the 15-20 range.
Ricky was participating as a Houseguest in the Big Brother reality show. He played as expected, quiet, somewhat aloof, but won competitions when he needed to. To the degree that he was able to evict 2 of the 3 final remaining guests. He sent LoLo Jones (multi Olympic medals / hurdles) packing and decided to keep "Taymar Braxton" The prize money was a substantial $250k to the winner and a resonable $50k to runnerup. After Ricky handpicks his opponent for the final vote - he got shutout 9-0. The show is a real life Psychology class.
The man clearly knows his craft well. Having benefited from solid HS coaching, these two came to the University with very solid fundamentals and skills. Our coaching staff, along with the hard work of Cook and Jamison, puts the icing on the cake. Moreover, I'm glad to see Jamison coming back to the defense. DBU!
