PrintImpressions from the first day at the Senior Bowl
Chadd Cripe is down in Mobile following the 5 five Boise State players who are participating in the game. Weigh ins and measurements were yesterday and Kellen came in at 5 foot 11 inches. How much would 2 inches to push him over 6 foot help his draft position? Doug Martin put on a few more pounds but in a good way while Shea McClellin came in a little lighter than he was hoping. George Iloka was right where he wanted to be while Billy Winn would like to lose a few pounds and some body fat. The game itself will be Saturday at 2 pm.
Report that Navy could announce today move to the Big East in 2015
The Midshipmen had previously indicated that they were planning to join the Big East for football, but had not decided when. Now they are apparently ready to make the announcement that they will make the move in 2015. After the departures of West Virginia, Pittsburgh and Syracuse, this would leave the Big East at 11 teams and one team short of the requirement to have divisions and a championship game.
BCS bowl game attendance down 8% since 2005
Brent McMurphy details how the attendance figures for the 5 BCS bowl games have been slipping. Bill Hancock tries to spin it best he can but the fact is that interest in the exhibition games is waning, even for the most prestigious bowl games out there.
Pre-Snap Read goes to the trouble of listing every school represented in the Super Bowl
No Boise State players this year, but did you know that David Carr was still playing? I had no clue. I thought he had opened up a car dealership with Tim Couch or Akili Smith. Learn something new every day.

Life is good
as a member of Bronco Nation. All these 01/24/12 posts make me smile. Five players in the Senior Bowl, that’s great. Air Force joining the Big East, that’s just dandy. TV viewership down for the exhibition games (otherwise known as BCS, otherwise known as BS), that’s wonderful. Okay, I guess we could complain about not having any players in the Super Bowl, but Clady will be in the Pro Bowl! It’s a good day to bleed blue!

I Thought Air Force ejected and Navy Landed in the Big East
US Air Forces Response to The Big East
The only thing the BCS has to fear, is fear itself, and Blue is the color of fear.
Loved this quote:
“Every idea is on the table for the future of the BCS,except a playoff, of courseincluding moving away from midweek games after Jan. 1,” Hancock said.
Oops, I may have slightly altered it.
Time is the great equalizer.
And Titus Young won the Detroit Rookie of the year award
I guess that was a no-brainer, but still cool after a great year.
Watched the north Senior Bowl practice today. Tidbits – lots of reps for Kellen, some OK throws, a bad snap he grabbed off the deck and made an outside shoulder throw too fast for the receiver. It looks like the receivers are running lazy routes – instead of breaking them off quickly – could be a timing thing too. Did not realize that Russell Wilson was shorter than Kellen, so it Kellen vs Cousins mostly. Billy Winn did OK on his one-on-ones, but was thrown down on one play that stood out (his momentum used against him). Did not see Shea do much but not used to seeing him line up as a weak side LB. George did OK, but its tough for the DB’s to stand up since they can’t really tackle…George’s enforcer specialty.
don't be shorting Moore..
He was 5-foot-11 and 3/4.
He looks a lot taller in millimeters.
