    1) Richardson if only for the hype

    Steelers - over

    Bengals - over

    Browns - over

    3)

    Ohio St.

    Georgia Tech

    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.

    If you go back into the 80s Clemson was the better program....won a national tltle. Since about 1990 though, as I said, I think they are pretty equal.

    My point is that Spurrier cannot complain about OSU scheduling non-conference cupcakes. That behavior has been an SEC specialty for decades. And while he plays Clemson, they play Va. Tech.....a very comparable opponent for the non-conf. schedule.

    And it is the Big Ten...not the SEC that has now adopted the policy of not playing FCS schools. (though certainly there enough lower rung FBS programs to fill the cupcake pan.....like TCPO's Coastal Carolina team).

    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:

    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?

    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...

    I just found out Jamie Meder is a Parma boy.

    I know he's a badass, but I don't know if he's from a "certain ethnic" heritage.

    DAMN THE TORPEDOES! FULL SPEED AHEAD!

  • 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?
    By talent, Richardson. Though since we got a 1 back for him, not sure.

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

    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? I'm not sure why all conferences aren't the same number of teams, then everyone just plays everyone in their conference (maybe twice) and the best teams progress. But it is what it is and I don't care.

    5. Which US city would you absolutely stay away from visiting because of perceived danger? - Plenty, though Detroit would be up there.

  • Quickest kid off the snap I've ever seen as an underclassman. And he's only about 6'0" and 330. Also, they had to order new weights in the weight room for him to squat. He's a beast.
