    Here is this week's survey....give your opinions or answers:

    1. Brown' first round pick a few years ago Phil Taylor is now gone.......who was the worst Browns first round pick taken since 1999?

    2. Per CBS sports the following are the over/under in number of wins expected for each AFC North team:

    Ravens 9 wins

    Steelers 8.5 wins

    Bengals 8.5 wins

    Browns 6.5 wins

    Say whether you would take the over or under for each of these.

    3. Which 4 teams do you pick to make the College Football Playoffs at the end of the year?

    4. Read this article about Steve Spurrier complaining about Ohio State's schedule:

    http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/eye-on-college-football/25286976

    A coach of an SEC team complaining about a weak non-conference schedule by a team from another league. Is he a fucking idiot...or what?

    5. Which US city would you absolutely stay away from visiting because of perceived danger?

        1. Trent

        2. Under on the Ravens, Over on all the others.

        3. Ohio State, Bama, and two wild cards (maybe one being the winner of BU/OU since they still do not have a conference championship game).

        4. There is some justification at least this year since OSU does not have Wis., Iowa or NU this year. But OU and Baylor are worse IMO with a "down" Big 12.

        5. The cesspool they call New Orleans would be up there with Detroit in a tie for 1st. Katrina flushed a lot of that cesspool into Texas, otherwise they would have "won" hands down.

          1. Gilbert of course 😉

          2. Ravens under. Rest over. I don't know how Zombo picked that Bengaks under. We are about to make the NFCWest our slaves.

          3. OSU, Bama, OU, USC.

          4. Zombo's answer. What a guy.

          5. New Orleans. I'd say Chicago but I suppose it's big enough to avoid those areas.

          Also, Baton Rouge after your team beats LSU. Incredibly scary. So I hear.

            I'd go with the over on the Browns & Pittsburgh. Under on Ratbirds & Bengals.

            3. Which 4 teams do you pick to make the College Football Playoffs at the end of the year?

            Ohio State, TCU, some SEC "juggernaut," and Arizona State

            4. Read this article about Steve Spurrier complaining about Ohio State's schedule:

            Yes, he's an idiot, but he's partially correct. The NCAA has basically encouraged a cream puff schedule market with the BCS nonsense, and the SEC took full advantage until recently. At least the article points out how schedules are made years in advance.

            5. Which US city would you absolutely stay away from visiting because of perceived danger?

            East St. Louis

              1. Brown' first round pick a few years ago Phil Taylor is now gone.......who was the worst Browns first round pick taken since 1999?

              Easy... that'd be Wheezy...

              2. Per CBS sports the following are the over/under in number of wins expected for each AFC North team:

              Ravens 9.0 wins UNDER

              Steelrs 8.5 wins OVER

              Bengals 8.5 wins OVER

              Browns- 6.5 wins OVER

              3. Which 4 teams do you pick to make the College Football Playoffs at the end of the year?

              At this point... no idea... but gun to head: Buckeyes - BAMA - Auburn - TCU

              4. Read this article about Steve Spurrier complaining about Ohio State's schedule:

              I have no issue with Spurrier on this specific. The buckeyes' non-conference schedule has been a joke for a long time. At least the in-season schedule...

              That said our Post-season schedule last year was pretty tough... much tougher than Spurrie's...

              5. Which US city would you absolutely stay away from visiting because of perceived danger?

              Parma, Ohio... bunch of badass Polacks run there...

                In order of "worst":


                A. Brady Quinn


                B. Trent Richardson


                C. Courtney Brown


                D. William Green


                E. Weeden


                F. Gerard Warren


                G. Wimbley


                H. Braylon


                J. Taylor


                K. K2




                2. Per CBS sports the following are the over/under in number of wins expected for each AFC North team:


                Ravens 9 wins...under


                Steelers 8.5 wins...under


                Bengals 8.5 wins...over


                Browns 6.5 wins....over


                Say whether you would take the over or under for each of these.




                3. Which 4 teams do you pick to make the College Football Playoffs at the end of the year?


                How is this for shits and giggles:


                Ohio State


                Oklahoma


                Clemson


                Arizona St.




                4. Read this article about Steve Spurrier complaining about Ohio State's schedule:


                http://www.cbssports...otball/25286976


                A coach of an SEC team complaining about a weak non-conference schedule by a team from another league. Is he a fucking idiot...or what?


                Yes, he is a hypocritical idiot. He complains about OSU weak non conference schedule? His is worse: Clemson and Va. Tech are about equal...and they play the likes of The Citadel, Furman, South Alabama.


                And his complaint about the league schedule....which the teams don't really control either...is hilarious. While the Big Ten is not so strong as it could be.....he gets to play the likes of Vanderbilt, Kentucky, Tennessee (which has been down ). That is about the same as having Northwestern, Indiana, and Illinois on your schedule.




                5. Which US city would you absolutely stay away from visiting because of perceived danger?


                Well, there may be parts of every city you may want to stay away from.....but big cities always have good and bad. Some mid to smaller size however may be all bad......a few candidates: Camden NJ, Flint Mich, Bessemer Alabama, Alexandria LA.


                Those would be the places to stay clear of if you can.....not so much Detroit etc.

                  1. Depends on biggest bust vs worst bonehead pick

                  Trent was biggest bust, dumbest pick? Has to be Weeden, 28 year old who was a product of a quick read offense at OSU

                  2.

                  Ravens-Over

                  Steelers-Under

                  Bengals-Under

                  Browns-Over

                  3.

                  Ohio State

                  TCU

                  USC

                  Notre Dame

                  4. Clearly a hypocritical idiot, especially when his South Carolina GameCOCKS lost to Mizzo who lost to Indiana @ Home

                  5. Miami, Sacramento, Compton

                        I refrained from making fun of him for that one. But now that you have I guess the bandwagon has more seats. 😆 :lol:

                          1) Richardson if only for the hype

                          2)

                          Ravens - under

                          Steelers - over

                          Bengals - over

                          Browns - over

                          3)

                          Ohio St.

                          Georgia Tech

                          Auburn

                          TCU/Oklahoma St.

                          4) Most people bitch about scheduling creampuffs so I'm not going to fault him for it.

                          5) Aleppo, Syria, Tikrit, Iraq. I'm not scared of going to any city in America as I'm an American and have a thing called testicles.

                            Guess you never been on the streetcar named Desire. They shrivel up fast out that direction if you get off anywhere near the projects in the 9th ward (if it still exists).

                              Testicles are apparently immune to gunshots.

                                "Clemson and Va Tech are about equal." Wow. I suppose when the VT game was schedule, maybe. Now, no.

                                Tour with the double Iron Bowl playoff pick. Nice!

                                By that I mean that both of those programs are historically equally strong. Maybe this year or last year one of the other is a bit better...but I think they stand on fairly equal grounds as overall programs.

                                  Not when I ran the comparison on Winsipedia. VT had more wins but in weaker conferences. Clemson beat them in every other way. Not by a tom, but comfortably.

                                    But...they play in the same conference now....and have for a number of years, no?

                                    Yes, Clemson was more premier back in the 80s....but for the past 25 years I think they have basically been on par.

                                      Only since 04. Sure VT's been better actually but it was in the Big East before so I don't think you can compare although regardless, Clemson won its NC in the 90s.

                                        All time records, for what this is worth:

                                        Va. Tech 676/435/44 11-17 in bowls

                                        Clemson 669/448/44 18-18 in bowls

                                        And here are their respective final AP Rankings since 2000:

                                        Year Va. Tech.....Clemson

                                        2000 6.................16

                                        2001 18........unranked

                                        2002 18........unranked

                                        2003 unranked....22

                                        2004 10..........unranked

                                        2005 7...............21

                                        2006 19.........unranked

                                        2007 9................21

                                        2008 13.........unranked

                                        2009 10........24

                                        2010 16........unranked

                                        2011 21.......22

                                        2012 unranked....22

                                        2013 unranked....11

                                        2014 unranked....15

                                        I think overall during this period Va. Tech has been the higher ranked program evidenced by the higher rank in bold....with the exception of the last 3 years.

                                          It was better program. Then better program in the last 25 years. Now we're in some weird 2004/2000 (whichever makes Clemson look worse) cutoff.
