I am more angry he left WVU because he could not be a first round to third round pick. He made a dumb move with turning in his papers. Who gave him advice to go pro Coach Rodriguez. Oh.. here we go again. Slaton won't even be a first day pick and can not go back to WVU now. Even if he did Devine will most likely split time in the backfield. Even with less carries he would get more yards than the past season.

This year's class is much, much deeper, with most of the top prospects juniors. So, start day-dreaming about a few of these top-notch tailbacks dropping below the first couple of rounds, because it's going to happen.

Wed, 19 Dec 2007 01:00:02 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/48600 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/48600 The BCS is such an asinine organization, they'd tell you the capital of Ohio is O, and believe it. The BCS may have concocted a makeshift national championship to placate the masses with a bland matchup between the Ohio State Buckeyes and the LSU Tigers but that doesn't mean I have to accept it. If the general public's vitriolic reaction is any barometer for the BCS' support, then the BCS Armageddon is upon us. Even the BCS' staunchest proponents have to question how the Missouri Tigers, the #1 team in the nation 48 hours ago, was jumped by Kansas and Illinois-- two teams Missouri beat on in the opening and final weeks of the season. The lack of a true playoff has also robbed fans of potentially prestigious matchups.
