I cannot understand ND, and worst of all is the USC argument.
This is insane, it really is.
Of those one loss teams, the worst loss anybody took was USC's. Should we pretend they didn't get beat by an unranked team?
Fla's loss was to Auburn, ND's to Mich, USC's was to the school for the blind.
This is utter nonsense.
this coming from a guy who probably hasnt even stepped on to a football field

And this coming from a guy who has a shrine on his wall to his rejection letter from dean Smith after making a personal plea to let him play Basketball at Carolina. Your lucky he wrote you that nice rejection letter you have framed, rather than call the guys with the white coats and butterfly nets.

Oh my Lord.

Seattle you poor guy. I live in a town where many ex-NBAers have sons that are HS all stars, very good college players, and the Spurs wont even give them a second look, with inside help. When guys like Tony Parker are taken deep into the draft... ahh to dream.

I seriously could get you to see the Spurs workout one time and if you got one look at how fast, Oh jeez. These guys are fantatastic athletes. Have you ever played pickup with any pro players? Lord these are the best all-around athletes in the world.

If you are that good they will find you, I promise.

Played against Nate Robinson and Jammal Crawford in HS games and in pick up games during the summer, played against Luke Ridnour at state in basketball, then meeting him in the spring during 1999 district playoffs for tennis which he beat me, in what seems comical I was placed as the #1 seed in districts. After our match we headed off to the gym to play ball, and proceeded to play 1 on 1, I beat him fair and square. Then in college when I made the team during open tryouts I played against a few people who ended up to go on to 4 yr colleges. When I finally arrived at the University of Washington I went to open tryouts but its painfully obvious that I wasnt fast enough. No one was even picked from that open tryouts to come back and officially work with the team. With football, I went to see Rick Neuheisel at the time to see if I could work with the team during spring practice. I went to one practice no pads, then i was asked by the line coach that I should quit my dream of playing athletics at a high level.

Thats my athletic career in a nutshell, only thing I have going in a way of a professional sport is the PBA for bowling. Im a great bowler, I can say that much. I just dont have the time to be a great golfer anymore and I accept that.

I backed up George Teague in HS at Free Safety
people seem impressed by that, but in reality
all it meant is that I never got in the games
if you could control you temper, Jer, you should coach
it's very rewarding~and you can kind of live vicariously
through your athletes, if you don't overdo it
like the coach in say, "Varsity Blues"
I'd like to get back into it, well-worth the time spent

So to sum it up, you beat some guy at a one on one 7 years ago, and have done nothing else.
Thast not exactly a career dude.
And when I see you on the PBA tour, I'll congratulate you!!!

OUch.

How old are you Seattle? Dean Smith was still coaching when you played HS ball? Or you just sent a letter to Dean Smith to tell Matt Dough et al. to let you play?
