Mr. Mandel, I am new (legal) citizen from foreign country, learning English and American sport. Please explain me how team can be national champion but not conference or division champion. In my country thing like this do not happen.

I can't possibly explain it, but this may be the most insightful summation of the BCS I've ever seen.

My favorite part of the article

I hate to see this for him, but Lafonte Thourogood has been moved to RB at Vandy. The reason he decommintted from VT was because he was not going to get a shot at QB...

99% of coaches out there are selling a dream, while Beamer sells reality. We have lost quite a few recruiting battles becasue of this, but i wonder how many of these kids end up wishing they had just listened to VT instead of buying into their own hype.

Reports are that a police officer has been shot. I've heard it is a fatality but haven't been able to confirm. I pray that is not the case. How could this happen again?
