You mean like yesterday...or maybe further back...back when New Kids on the Block roamed the earth enjoying the same constitutional rights and freedoms as the rest of us.

Those are inalienable, God-given rights.....but man, you have to think that there are times that God wants to take a mulligan

Donnie has been doing good work. And without NKOTB we would have never had NSYNC. And therefore Joey Fatone could not grace my television every Monday and Tuesday.

I think that was the idea behind the whole ark thing. He might be due for another one, though.

I'm glad ESPN is putting their writers to good use.

Some programs have recruiting budgets in the millions and some in the tens of thousands...so yeah...

Every time a Roethlisberger or Jason Babin gets picked high, they go back the parity angle anyway.

gee youd think all the postive media attention the midmajors and bottom feeders of D1 get one get the NFL would be sucking them up.

With the waco media out of control and only yping the players of the big schools that people are familiar with this is no surprise. In fact this has been the norm, for ever. More reason why the no back Univ presidents not part of the Bowl collaboration System need remove their schools from that and form a real division where each conference has equal opportunity to play for a real championship. our quality players will never or rarely be viewed as equals soly because the MAC in front of the school name. we are the crapolas in their elitist eyes, and for as long as there is no equitable playoff sysytem.
f**k the BCS

At least Staley went 146 picks before the Heisman Trophy winner.

Our players are not viewed as equals because they are not equals. The NFL cares not where you played your college ball. If you can play they will find you.

If we want more players in the NFL then we need to start recruiting/developing better players. Easier said than done, for sure, but that is the reason why we have fewer NFL draft picks.

Unfortunately the MAC has taken drastic steps backwards in terms of overall conference quality in the last 4 years or so.

The NFL wants great athletes. The MAC doesn't get as many of those as the Big 10. We both get guys who run 4.5 40's....in the Big 10 those guys are 240lb LB's. In the MAC they're 185lb DB's...
