Army All-American Game
Watching the Army All American game...so far Seantrel and Prater have both been interviewed and said they are now waivering with USC. Even though Seantrel hasn't committed, he said things are "very different" with USC now. Prater was supposed to enroll early on Monday and is now flying home instead of to LA after the game. Thank you Mr. Carroll. Dillon Baxter is there, but they did not interview him yet.

Hampton to South Carolina. How Spurrier is still pulling in top end talent after 5 years of mediocrity just amazes me. Guess the Ole' Ball Coach still has some magic pull.
January 9th, 2010 at 1:52 PM ^
I was thinking the same thing. That team has consistently underachieved, yet he pulls in recruits.
January 9th, 2010 at 1:53 PM ^
They just said Urban Meyer has been calling every recruit every day. Didn't TomVH mention something about it being a no-contact or light contact only period or something when talking to Tony Grimes?
January 9th, 2010 at 2:00 PM ^
It ended when the school's came back- 1/4 Monday.
January 9th, 2010 at 2:00 PM ^
Anyone else get a few warm fuzzies watching a high school recruit who just returned a blocked fg for a td go up in the stands and throw the ball away to the army cadets?
January 9th, 2010 at 2:04 PM ^
when that animal abuse commercial comes on. Just too sad to watch.
January 9th, 2010 at 2:10 PM ^
with you... i panic when i can't find my remote... the one that gets me the most is the dog thats missing an eye....
January 9th, 2010 at 2:14 PM ^
I once found a one eyed dog on the side of the road while storm chasing. Somewhere in north Texas I think. It was one of the nicest dog's I've interacted with.
I'm glad I don't storm chase anymore. I would have been bring back stray dogs on every trip.
Less than two much until my puppy gets spayed...
January 9th, 2010 at 2:21 PM ^
how people can abuse animals....my aunt runs a shelter here in michigan. her shelter is the one that got all of the chihuahuas from that house in dearborn....i forget how many had to be put down because of infections from what they lived in, but it made me sick...
January 9th, 2010 at 2:21 PM ^
What happened to the one-eyed dog? Is he or she okay and safe with a nice, loving family?
January 9th, 2010 at 2:29 PM ^
I didn't have the chance to stick around, but I'm mostly sure she belonged to the near-by farm. There wasn't any kind of collar or tags but she looked at least half cared for. In my experience she looked to happy to be a true stray, but was just mostly left on her own (and ever so happy to have someone pet her).
Another time, I found a ~6 month old shepard mix in the middle of nowhere in Kansas, miles and miles from any house or farm. I wanted nothing else to take her back with me, but I was in the middle of field work and I would be chasing for another month. It sucked.
January 9th, 2010 at 2:38 PM ^
I'm going to think good thoughts about both of those dogs and hope they're okay. It's really nice that you take the time to pay attention to animals like that. I love animals more than anything, and I absolutely can't stand to think about them not having warm, loving homes or food.
When I went with my friends to adopt their dog Elle from the Huron Valley Humane Society this summer, I had to go outside a couple times because I was so overwhelmed by all the dogs and cats without homes. I thought I was going to cry. It absolutely breaks my heart!
January 9th, 2010 at 2:46 PM ^
our 3rd dog (11 month old puppy) because my wife felt the need to save a dog that day... usually i just say ok we can go to a shelter and she looks and i kind of talk her out of it, mainly because i'm like you and i want to save them all. but this last time we got to see gizmo in a room and he jumped up on my lap and i was sold....
January 9th, 2010 at 4:24 PM ^
Be less girly, PLZKTHXBAI
January 9th, 2010 at 2:58 PM ^
If my memory serves me right, it was technically a stray but the local farmer put food out for it. It was a while ago, but I specifically remember the farmer being pissed off about the dog chasing and scaring his cows.
January 9th, 2010 at 2:05 PM ^
had me for a second.
January 9th, 2010 at 2:09 PM ^
with Michigan and Miami still on the table. HILARIOUS!
January 9th, 2010 at 2:05 PM ^
Mathis to Oregon
January 9th, 2010 at 2:06 PM ^
over UM.
Well at least he didn't go to Sparty.
January 9th, 2010 at 2:20 PM ^
Heaps looks pretty good running the PA.
January 9th, 2010 at 2:24 PM ^
That is all. Congrats Florida.
January 9th, 2010 at 2:28 PM ^
Somehow, that is an understatement. He's very, very good.
January 9th, 2010 at 2:25 PM ^
Will Floyd pick Michigan?
January 9th, 2010 at 2:27 PM ^
that he would shock the world ;)
January 9th, 2010 at 2:29 PM ^
Including Floyd, apparently. It would be pretty hilarious, though.
January 9th, 2010 at 2:29 PM ^
that would be the best news ive heard all year
January 9th, 2010 at 2:26 PM ^
Anderson and Woods playing really well. The qbs are meh.
January 9th, 2010 at 2:31 PM ^
Fantastic catch earlier and has looked pretty good in the 1st half as a whole. Ol' Lane may have gotten a good one....again.
January 9th, 2010 at 2:34 PM ^
He's got good hands, but it's Tennecheat. He'll probably wind up robbing some little old lady with an unloaded pellet gun.
January 9th, 2010 at 2:33 PM ^
is Tony Drake officially out of the class? does the recent loss of this #8 Rivals APB give Baxter even more motivation to go Blue? Watching Baxter in the AA game gets me dreaming of years with DGardner- DBaxter in the backfield......
January 9th, 2010 at 4:21 PM ^
I don't think Drake is officially out, but the general consensus is that he most likely won't make it.
I would think that Baxter wouldn't be too worried about the decisions of other recruits, he did just win the National POY award.
DGardner - DBaxter would be ridiculous.
January 9th, 2010 at 2:41 PM ^
yes florida for floyd
January 9th, 2010 at 2:41 PM ^
Whoo hooo!!!
January 9th, 2010 at 2:44 PM ^
Word on the street in the last few weeks is that SHARRIF FLOYD wouldn't have qualified at OSU (and therefore likely not at Rich Rod's Michigan). Florida is the best place for him.
January 9th, 2010 at 2:47 PM ^
what number is parker?
January 9th, 2010 at 2:47 PM ^
Did anyone else get a little anxious when all of his people around him were wearing the maize and blue shirts? Damn that would have been a great snag.
January 9th, 2010 at 2:51 PM ^
Is just plain ridiculous! We're hoping for a chance at someone like Baxter (who would be an amazing grab) but Florida just keeps piling on studs. Here is what their class is now with a chance at Elam & Powell still to come in this game:
http://rivals100.rivals.com/commitlist.asp?Year=2010&School=21
With Carroll leaving I imagine they are also very much in the hunt for Prater. Although rated 4th on Rivals atm they will easily move up to #1 after this game today.
January 9th, 2010 at 2:51 PM ^
Their class, on the defensive side of the ball at least, is ridiculous.
Floyd and Easley looked like the most impressive players at these all-star games. Elam on top of that. Joshua Shaw and a host of other 4 stars. Loaded.
January 9th, 2010 at 2:54 PM ^
but is that a big pick-up for TCU's ROTC program? Think he can contribute as a freshman?
January 9th, 2010 at 2:57 PM ^
when I saw TCU's hat on the same table as Tennessee, UNC, and one other big state school, that the kid would pick TCU. It seemed so out of place that it had to be the one he would pick.
I'm sure he had his reasons for going there, but it seems like academically and extra-curricularly(?) the worst of the four schools.
And yes, I think he'll be a diaper dandy for TCUROTC.
January 9th, 2010 at 3:06 PM ^
That kid is rated the #1 xylophone player in the world, not even just the nation! Amazing grab for TCU. Word is he can also whistle amazing grace in key.
January 9th, 2010 at 2:57 PM ^
did he get his 3rd? TCU looks to have a helluva athlete on their hands.
January 9th, 2010 at 3:08 PM ^
parker is #5
January 9th, 2010 at 3:39 PM ^
Nice blocked PA and subsequent block on Powell's return.
January 9th, 2010 at 3:20 PM ^
that td makes me want baxter more.
January 9th, 2010 at 3:20 PM ^
you guys see baxter there? damn.
January 9th, 2010 at 3:26 PM ^
Come on.
Has the sanke oil and wizard hat found a new owner?
January 9th, 2010 at 3:30 PM ^
like to know how meyer considers it a "leave of absence" when he only going to be gone from signing day until august... doesn't every coach in america take that exact same time off basically???
January 9th, 2010 at 3:41 PM ^
Marcoux the QB has looked amazing. If I am not mistaken this guy didn't have any BCS scholarship offers coming into the game. That will change, he has been the best QB and a stud.
January 9th, 2010 at 3:44 PM ^
I wonder how many kids get missed per year. Because he might be one of the best QB's out there, sure looks like he has the potential
