What in the world is Michael Crabtree thinking? 10th pick in the NFL draft was told he would go maybe as high as #7 pick. Is holding out to get #7 pick money. 23 million over four years instead of 15 million.

He has threatened to hold out and reenter draft next year. Good luck in the Canadian Football league. I wonder what his Wonder Lick score was.

Thursday I just happened to turn on one of the sports channels and they were showing high lites of the U Conn-Carolina game. This was the first time that I had seen the so called holding in the end zone where Carolina got the two points for holding to win the game 12-10.

I think players get stars on their helmet for the U-Conn blockers effort. They call it a Pancake block. All the ref saw was the blocker laying on the rusher and must have assumed it had to be holding.

I know you ECU fans have to be upset over the call against ECU for ruffing the quarterback late in the game when the Carolina blocker blocked in the back of the ECU rusher who pulled up only to be knocked into the quarterback by the blocker. Instead of a penalty on Carolina's blocker ECU got the penalty.

Even though Virginia and Maryland lost non-conference games, Virginia Tech and Florida State's non conference victories should help the ACC's over all view from the National Media.

Even though the media is now in a frenzy over Miami I think I will wait a couple more weeks before I put them in the National Championship game.

Southern Nash surprised me Friday night winning at South Granville. Like Miami I would like to see more before I crown them Big East champs.

I think I have been in the business long enough, seen film with coaches and I feel I have learned to evaluate talent. I have thought all along Rocky Mount was going to be 8-2 during the regular season and to this point I have seen nothing that makes me want to back off from that.

I also know that regardless of how good or bad Rose is Rocky Mount needs to be very good to beat them. If this teams has no further injuries disasters they are going to be just fine.
