Things to Look Forward to in '09

[Sniper]

Some things I'm really looking forward to.

- An Eric Berry interception return
- Bryan Bulaga pancaking some poor DE
- Tim Tebow on 3rd and 2.
- Taylor Mays laying out the next WR who thinks it's safe to go across Mays' middle.
- Brandon Graham bullrushing an unsuspecting RT for a huge sack.
- Noel Devine in the open field
- Jahvid Best juking a LB out of his jock.
- Colt McCoy to Malcolm Williams on a fly pattern.
- People trying to cover Jermaine Gresham.
- Dez Bryant making a ridiculous catch in double coverage.
- Julio Jones leaping 37 feet in the air to make a jaw-dropping catch.
- Brandon Spikes blowing up a RB
- Jonathan Dwyer in the triple option version 2
- Brandon James on a punt return
- Golden Tate going deep
- Terrelle Pryor on a bootleg
- Arthur Brown blowing some fools up.
- Navorro Bowman roaming the field.
- Patrick Peterson locking down receivers
- Rolando McClain bearing down on a QB like a missile.
- Dexter McCluster in the Wildcat
- Charles Scott bulldozing his way through the pile.
- A Ryan Mallett laser beam just over the outstretched hands of a DB and into the hands of D.J Williams.
- Jeremiah Masoli lowering his shoulder
- Damian Williams leaving DBs in his dust with his silky-smooth route-running.
- Watching defenders bounce off of Arrelious Benn like they're tennis balls.
- Russel Okung pass-blocking.

That's just a few. What are some of yours?

Others:

Florida winning SEC
Florida also dominating LSU, any other rivals.
Seeing Carlos Dunlap win the Rimington
Watching the Pouncey's dominate the O-Line
Seeing Spikes dominate opposing RBs
Watching the UF secondary just go to work.


Outside of UF stuff...

UNC winning the ACC

[Brent]

Jerrod Johnson winning games.
Jeff Fuller catching TDs.
Von Miller making sacks.
Trent Hunter continuing to be a bad ass.

[ToldLikeItIs]

Iowa surprising the country

Pat Angerer leading the Big Ten in interceptions

[bearsfan_51]

Iowa surprising the country

What does that mean? Sounds like you're hedging your bets to me. Rose Bowl? National Championship? Come on...sack up.

THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE LEGEND. Whats funny is he was the 2nd fastest 400m hurdler in the game in this pic. Jeshua Anderson from Wassu beat him at nationals.
2 and 1.

[TACKLE]

Seeing Carlos Dunlap win the Rimington

That's going to be pretty tough for him considering he doesn't play center.

[TitleTown088]

[wicket]

since we are in homermode:
5 defenses never being able to stop floyd and tate at the same time
4 Ethan Johnson beating double teams
3 Jimmy Clausen living up to his potential
2 Irish OLine actually looking half decent
1 our secondary

That isn't actually homerism. Homerism, to me, is like something that is almost unrealistic.

For ex. "Jordan Jefferson becoming the best QB in the SEC."

But in your case, I really don't see defenses successfully stoping both Tate and Floyd at the same time. Jimmy Clausen is making strides and didn't have a terrible season last year, which is something to build off of. The Irish O-Line looks really improved since last year with Sam Young leading the way. I really can't talk about the DBs or Ethan Johnson. One more I would add is Manti Te'o

[SuperMcgee]

I'm pretty excited for Dan LeFevour's senior year. I think he could go off in a big way. Davis and Willy leaving opens it up for him to bring CMU back to the top of the MAC, so long as Butch is smart enough and he keeps it under control while going Dan LeFevour all over everybody's ass.

Am I missing something or shouldn't it read " Tebow-ned"?

cheers and i agree, i was thinking about putting but they stuck @ #6, it would read Te'o, Brian Smith and Steve Filer actually making us fast on defense.
But i didnt mean it was unrealistic but I meant the focus was on ND, I already posted something here not concerning ND.
I'll do my top 5 non-ND (keep in mind i dont want them to do it against ND)
5 Greg Hardy showing he is the best DEnd in the country
4 A brilliant three way Heisman race
3 Colin Kaepernick playing like a vince young reincarnation
2 The ACC remaining a close race till the final minute of the final game
1 Jake Locker getting back on top (but I already told you about that one)

[TACKLE]

The best WLB in the country.

http://insidetheu.com/images/newspics/420092379426605SeanSpenceSack.jpg

[YAYareaRB]

I'll do another.

1. Mason Foster winning Pac-10 DPOY
2. BYU giving Oklahoma a Scare
3. Roy Helu amassing 1000 yards
4. Matt Asiata establishing himself as a top back.
5. Harvey Unga keeping his place as the beat MWC RB.
6. TCU, Utah, and BYU showing the college football world how we do it in the Mountain West!
7. San Jost St. Scoring at least twice on USC.. maybe?
8. All the MAC QBs.
9. How LSU responds from a down year.
10. McKay Jacobsen picking up where Collie left off.

[YAYareaRB]

I think they spelled it the way they did because your way might sound like Tebow - Ned as in Ned Flanders.

[bearsfan_51]

The best WLB in the country.

Tim Tebow?

[Sniper]

The best WLB in the country.

Did Sean Weatherspoon change positions?

[TACKLE]

Did Sean Weatherspoon change positions?

I'm looking foward to seeing Spence become the best WLB in the nation.

[Staubach12]

-People trying the throw on Eric Berry.
-Recoy McCoy one-on-one with some poor soul.
-Chad Jones developing into a top safety.

[YAYareaRB]

-Ciron Black establishing himself as a top notch/elite LT prospect.
-Jordan Jefferson building on his Heisman/National Championship campaign in 2010.
-Some unfortunate fool trying to tackle Charles Scott and catching Keiland Williams and Trindon Holliday.
-the underrated defensive unit of LSU imposing their will and breaking spirits.

[yo123]

Eric Decker eating Big 10 secondaries alive.

[RufusMcDaniel]

Alright I'll do some Homer ones

-Rich Rod continuing to erode family values.
-Mike Barwis benchpressing the stadium
-Starting the season 1-0...please don't lose to WMU
-Beating a Division II team...hopefully

Also: Tim Tebow having a say in about everything posted about the SEC here.

[sbh15]

That's going to be pretty tough for him considering he doesn't play center.

My bad, the OL/DL award. I don't know the ******* names.
