Once established, invasive mussels can cost billions of dollars.
Invasive mussels reproduce rapidly and coat any stable surface— including water intake pipes. If these animals establish populations in Utah, our water transport facilities will deliver less water and require additional maintenance (increasing your bill). They may also suffer temporary—but frequent—closures to remove mussels from equipment.
Invasive mussels reproduce so rapidly that their shells carpet beaches. These shells are sharp, so beachgoers will have to wear footwear at all times. The decaying mussels release a putrid smell that clings to the air and water. Finally, the mussels plug water circulation systems on watercraft, overheating motors that are costly to repair.
In the United States, zebra mussels cost the power industry $3.1 billion from 1993–1999, with an impact on industries, businesses, and communities of more than $5 billion¹. If mussels become established in Utah, they are predicted to cost the state $15 million per year in increased costs— potentially driving up tax rates.

When somebody is so hot they pretty much pass the laws of hotness and head into a whole other dimension of mouth watering, knee shaking, mind jellifying goodness. Embodiments of this definition are often referred to simply as Collin.
Girl One: 'That boy is so Collin it's unbelievable.'
Girl Two: 'I know. He's amazing. Look at him go.'
Girl One: 'With pleasure.'
'Yeah, he's a Collin'

A tricky person with an exterior that seems opening and inviting but when furthering a relationship with, becomes extremely scared to commit. A Collin is known for a wild attitude and is very witty, funny, and down right weird at times. Collin's are entertaining to large audiences and have a natural knack at being good with musical instruments and often sports. Collins tend to be horrible with relationships and are known for blowing it with the girls of their dreams.

Small-business owners are getting a rare tax break in North Carolina, said a Hendersonville CPA.
Small-business owners are getting a rare tax break in North Carolina, said a Hendersonville CPA.
"It is really cool," Carl Shaw, CPA, told attendees at the Henderson County Chamber of Commerce Business Morning Update Wednesday. "And it affects every self-employed individual in North Carolina."
The first $50,000 of net income earned by a self-employed person is tax-exempt, Shaw said. The law took effect last summer and the deduction is available for tax years beginning on or after Jan. 1, 2012.
Some business professionals at Business Morning Update at the Chariot in Hendersonville were in disbelief, while others voiced their excitement, so Shaw said it again.
"The first $50,000 of your net employment income is not taxed in North Carolina," Shaw repeated. "I sat dumbfounded when I read it. This is a great benefit for small business owners in North Carolina."
Local small-business owners were thrilled.
"That is great," said Norman Brooks, who owns a small production company, Channel 70 Productions. "It's rare when small businesses get any kind of tax break from the state or federal government. It is refreshing to hear such a thing."
For more information, individuals should talk to their financial planner or call the N.C. Department of Revenue.

I make a meal plan for the week and shop once, on Saturday.
Do so about once a week or week & half. I don't mind shopping that much, it can be fun and somewhat exercising. I enjoy browsing the deli sections for interesting items. Such as it was cool to find mascarpone cheese there when I'd only seen it on the tv food shows.The thing I dislike the most is after returning home, having to get all the bags from the car. Sometimes I sit for a minute, wishing some sort of mechanical device would come out and retrieve everything, take it in the house and put it away. But it has yet to happen .

'Under-the-radar' prospect Haley set to make impact
By Bernie Pleskoff
Very few professional baseball players "fly under the radar."
Very few players escape the constant scrutiny and evaluation from an ever-increasing variety of baseball interest groups and sources for information.
Typically, information flows about pitchers who can throw in the neighborhood of 100 mph.
However, there are some players who don't receive quite the recognition or publicity they deserve.
For me, 22-year-old Cleveland Indians right-hander Curtis "Trey" Haley fits that category.
Working exclusively in relief, the 6-foot-3, 180-pound Haley has one of the best arms I saw during this past Arizona Fall League season.
Pitching 11 innings, while making eight appearances for the Scottsdale Scorpions, Haley gave up only two hits. That alone is remarkable in what has become known as a league favoring hitters.
Using a fastball that sat at 95-96 mph and touched 98, plus a curveball he threw in the mid-80s, Haley had hitters completely off balance. He threw an occasional slider that changed hitters' eye levels as well.
Haley showed he knows how to pitch. He relied on his two-seam sinker to induce ground balls and keep himself out of trouble. He was economical in his quest for outs, but he didn't always look for a strikeout. He struck out only three batters. He walked four.
Although Haley showed velocity and ability to close games, he worked mostly in the middle innings.
Haley's Arizona Fall League ERA was 1.64. His WHIP was 0.55. Right-handed hitters batted .118 against him. Left-handed hitters didn't muster a hit against him in 16 at-bats. Regardless of the hitter, Haley dominated.
The Cleveland Indians selected Haley out of Central Heights High School in Nacogdoches, Texas, with their second-round pick in the 2008 First-Year Player Draft.
The Indians must have believed Haley to be special, as he was the only high school player taken by Cleveland in the first eight rounds of that Draft. Frankly, I think he is special.
This past season, Haley missed about a month of pitching due to a groin issue that had been with him for quite some time. His pitching had been impacted in several seasons with what was thought to be a groin sprain. After a diagnosis of a "sports hernia," Haley had surgery to correct the problem.
In the Fall League, it appeared Haley was pitching free of pain. His pitching mechanics did not show any hesitation, compensation or fear of recurrence.
Including time away for surgery, this past season, Haley threw 38 2/3 innings of relief over three Indians classifications. As he did in the Arizona Fall League, Haley posted fewer hits (26) than innings pitched. His composite ERA was 2.33 with a WHIP of 1.16.
One of Haley's stops last season was at Double-A Akron, where he pitched to an ERA of 1.76 and a WHIP of 1.37 in 15 1/3 innings of bullpen work. He threw at a rate of 13 1/2 strikeouts per nine innings.
There are times when dominant pitchers are good enough to help their team in the rotation or at the back end of the bullpen. There are often debates within organizations about the best role for power pitchers. There is probably no correct answer. Every case is different.
For example, the Cincinnati Reds are now preparing to convert Aroldis Chapman to a starter from a relief role. I remember being part of similar discussions regarding Brandon Morrow when he was with the Mariners. The D-backs had the same discussion about Max Scherzer.
Haley has the ability to be a pitcher in the rotation.
He has two forms of fastballs -- a sinking two-seamer and a four-seamer. He also has a very good curveball, a slider and a changeup.
At this stage, from what I have seen, I believe he mostly trusts his fastball and curve. I did see him throw the slider, and I liked the progress he was making with the pitch. Of all his pitches, I really didn't see him throw the changeup. I do think that will be an effective weapon with greater repetition and self-confidence. But in reality, if his fastball, curve and slider are working, he may not need the changeup.
For me, Haley works best as a potential closer.
He will need fewer pitches to work only one inning. The fewer the pitches, the greater the chance he will command and control them.
While I see a road map for success and the potential talent of a very good pitcher, there remains an area in need of improvement. Haley still must work on his command. In addition to throwing strikes, he has to be able to repeatedly throw his pitches wherever he wants. He has to get hitters to chase when the ball is in the dirt or misses the strike zone entirely. He has to be able to throw any pitch in any count.
Generally, command and control are the last components to come together for power pitchers.
Many high-velocity pitchers have trouble repeating their delivery and getting the ball to go where they want. Pitches sail out of the strike zone because they have so much natural movement. That isn't the case with Haley. I believe he knows his limitations.
I believe it is just a matter of repetition against better quality hitters that will allow Haley, who is now on Cleveland's 40-man roster, to finish his development and help the Indians from the bullpen.
Perhaps a season split between Double-A and Triple-A, refining his delivery and working on his command, will provide the finishing touches for Haley to prove he has the ability to close ballgames.
Numerous scouts saw Haley throwing hard in the Arizona Fall League. If he was "under the radar" at some point, he isn't anymore.

Sports Announcing Hits a New Low
And it was an absolute embarrassment to the sports broadcasting profession.
It's one thing for the guys calling the game to give their opinion on who should get the BCS title nod, but for someone to actively lobby for an entire half - as Danielson did in the third and fourth quarters - is totally unprofessional. Maybe I'm wrong, but I didn't think such shilling was what the broadcast team is supposed to do during the game they're calling!
If you're the guy back in the studio or doing some wrap-up show, get on your soapbox all you want. But as one of the two supposedly professional, allegedly unbiased announcers for a national network, to openly shill for the team that just happens to be in the conference whose games are televised by the network that pays your check is totally bush.
I mean, the game was on CBS, right? Or was that the Gator Network, because it was hard to tell during Gary's slurp job. Then again, since CBS televises the SEC games, does that make them one and the same?
The worst of his complete hack-job was when he "compared" Michigan's schedule with Florida, giving the advantage of a win or loss to one team or the other. While the exercise itself is subjective to begin with, Danielson matched the schedules up in such a way that was ridiculous. Even worse, game results that were correct to have been compared were "awarded" as a plus to Florida which made no sense.
For example, according to Danielson's "expert" analysis," he called Michigan's 20 point victory over Vandy a "push" with Florida's six point win over the Commodores (in which Vandy outgained the Gators). And in comparing Michigan's (admittedly) close victory over Ball State, the third place team in the MAC, Danielson gave Florida the "advantage" for their stirring blowout victory over 2-9, 1-AA Western Carolina, whose two wins, back in September, were against something called Chowan and Eastern Kentucky (to go along with blowout losses to Elon, Wofford and Jerry Falwell's Liberty University).
Hey, I'm not saying a win over Ball State is some great accomplishment. But compared to a horrible 1-AA squad? C'mon, Gar, you're the one who brought this little bullshit ploy up so at least pretend to be balanced. Although it's too late to fix anything. The subliminal damage is already done vis a vis poll voters who just saw that graphic for the few moments it was onscreen - with all the check marks in the Gator column.
You know, I never liked Gary Danielson when he was a QB for the Lions. I just didn't think he was that good. And judging from last night, he's an even worse announcer.

wow... nice picture lol. I learned during the first CBS broadcast of an SEC game this year that I didn't like Danielson. Too bad CBS and ABC had to trade commentators.
- December 03, 2006 2:47 AM
Gary Danielson's a complete sell out. He's the Black Album to the Big Ten's Metallica. I don't know what the hell happened to him after he left his job with Mussy at ABC.
His politicking during the Florida game could have single-handedly cost us the 2nd place votes necessary to comfortably rank ahead of Florida. That schedule breakdown was, by far, the most irresoponsible thing I've ever seen by an analyst. To openly lobby for a team like that was so unbelievable, I literally could do nothing but shake my head and think about the inevitable letdown heading our way tomorrow night.
It's a Goddamn shame. If USC won, we'd be comfortably ranked ahead of UF - no questions asked. But since USC blew it, now everybody redneck in the country is throwing out their copy-pasted top 25 from last week, and they will proceed to place UF #2 based on bogus criteria - since, of course, Michigan being considered the second best team in the country just isn't enough anymore.
- December 03, 2006 3:00 AM
Sorry, surely he exaggerated a little, but with one sentence he was definetely right,"Style-Points should NOT decide a National Championship,Championships SHOULD"...and for that,Florida should be in.
If you ask me (seeing it from far away,because I am from Germany),the BCS System is rediculous!
I would vote for a playoff-system in which each of the conference winners and the best non-conference team would play.The team from the strongest conference plays the winner from the weakest conference in the first round and so on.
You would then only have to rate the strength of the conferences which is by far easier than deciding beetween 12-1 Teams.
- December 03, 2006 5:51 AM
Hey, Germany--we heard ya. Same exact post from you on 3 different threads. Achtung, baby...
- December 03, 2006 7:25 AM
And Michigan won what conference this year?
- December 03, 2006 8:06 AM
I want Gary Danielson to lose his job. What a tool.
- December 03, 2006 8:11 AM
I live in SEC country, and actually attended an SEC school (S.Carolina). My dad attended the Maize and Blue, and even though I couldn't afford the out-of-state tuition, I live and breath Michigan (athletics and academics).
That said, I believe I can provide unbiased commentary, unlike Gary Danielson.
First, I believe CBS should publicly apologize for Danielson's comments in the second half. I was embarassed to see such lobbying on national TV, by a "commentator." I mean, when did Danielson become Cowherd.
And I think ABC/ESPN should give an hour of time today to Brent Musberger, Brian Griese, or Herbstreit to "lobby" for Michigan.
Second, the pollsters must consider the WHOLE body of work - strength of schedule (SOS), style points, how they beat teams, how UF/UM would match up against OSU, and how each team lost.
My "unbiased" comparision:
SOS - draw (Big 10 and SEC are the 2 toughest conferences)
Style - Michigan (PSU, how are your first two string QBs?)
How they beat teams - Michigan (Ball State is the closest game???)
Match up - who knows? - draw
How each team lost - Michigan (on the road against #1) (Auburn should have lost to S.Carolina)
I know, I know, unbiased commentary, sort of like Danielson.
As a S.Carolina alum, you don't know how many times I keep kicking myself for Soccup being cock-blocked 3x vs UF. If they had won that one, which they should have, no one could argue that UM doesn't deserve OSU again.
Go Blue!
- December 03, 2006 8:13 AM
Anon 5:06 AM-
Show me where it says in the BCS rules that a team has to win its conference to be in the National Championship game? Quit using that illogical statement to prove a case. Michigan's only loss was to the #1 team in the country. Florida lost to Auburn. Don't even bother using the, "Michigan already had its shot argument" either. That one is completely illogical too. The BCS is supposed to match the two best teams together no matter what. Come up with a better argument that is actually logical and maybe I'll listen.
- December 03, 2006 8:16 AM
You all played Vandy @ your place and it was the first game of the season. Florida played Vandy @ their place and they had some chemistry established at that point in the season w/ a win vs Georgia.
- December 03, 2006 8:34 AM
Anon 5:13 - I am also a GAmecock alum and hell no, the Cocks should not have beaten Auburn. It was a close game yes, but we were clearly outcoached (rare I know) and while some folks say Rice didn;t bring his A-game, I think you'll have to give Auburn D some of that credit for Rice not catching those 2 jump ball TD passes. Cocks could have beaten UofF yes, we could have beaten a lot of teams in the same way as you say we should have beaten Auburn (add Tenn, Arky as well). The only time we didn't come up short in a final drive fopr the win was against UGA. Ball State almost beat UofM in that same identical way, but somehow everyone is forgetting that tidbit now. UofF played a DII team, yes, but they crushed them. It wasn't close, ever, even with calling off the dogs. What was it, 62-0?
I'd certainly be happy with a UofM-OSU matchup- and my guess you may get it, but I'd be excited to see UofF-OSU matchup also (which I'm hoping for).
I did think GD's comments were a overboard, but I have seen very similar (though not as plentiful in one game) comments on GameDay and in-game commentary from ABC and ESPN about the Big 10 as well.
Remember, it was rare to find a Maize & Blue fan on Sunday and Monday after The Game wanting a rematch. Again, I'd be happy to watch either game.
- December 03, 2006 8:52 AM
All this "did not win your conference" is such bullshit. Who cares? Not UM fault that OSU is the best team this year. This is team rankings; not conference position rankings. If UM is deemed second best team in US, then so be it. Even Herbstreit, of all people, said as much last night. Sucks for you, Florida when UM goes to the game...again

Jim, this is the Gamecock alum from above. I'm quite surprised to hear that you don't think USC should have beat Auburn.
The facts:
USC total yards: 349
Auburn total yards: 307
USC turnovers: 2
Auburn turnovers: 1
USC Time of possession: 30:20
Auburn Time of possession: 29:40
The final one (ToP) is the KEY stat. As everyone may recall, USC didn't run a play in the 3rd quarter, but STILL won the ToP battle. The on-side kick in the 3rd by Auburn saved USC from having a possession in that quarter.
Plus, both Kenny Irons TDs were on 4th down (and 1 yd runs)and were very questionable, thus both were reviewed.
All of that, and USC had a shot at the end of the game to tie it up (4th down failed with :19 left).
Like most Gamecock alums, I see the glass half-full, but believe that USC should have won.
We'll see what happens, as it's probably 50-50 right now.

Once again another ignorant reason as to why Florida had a tougher road than Michigan. Both Michigan and Vanderbilt were playing in their first game of the season. The only advantage was Michigan's home field, and everyone says, on the record no less, that the Big House it is the Quiet House. Florida had several games under their belt by the time they played Vanderbilt. Rust or Vanderbilt's chemistry is not an excuse.
As for jim,
Yes, the Ball State game was not one of Michigan's finest performances, but you fail to consider that Michigan went up by 19 points and then started to substitute second and third string players into the game. Thus the scored narrowed.
Gary Danielson and all of the Florida fans do not want style points to count because they had close games all season. I shouldn't have to list them, but here goes: Florida State, South Carolina, Vanderbilt, Georgia, and Tennessee.
As for Gary Danielson, of course the Big Ten looks weaker than the SEC on paper. The Big Ten had three teams win at least 7 games in the conference this year. Ohio State (8-0), Michigan (7-1), and Wisconsin (7-1) all had great seasons. When you have three teams that win 22 games and only lose 2, the standings are going to reflect a top-heavy conference. However, that does not mean that Penn State, Minnesota, and Purdue completely suck.
Unfortunately, it looks like Florida fans will probably get their wish and play Ohio State. However, I will be sticking with the BIG TEN and rooting for an Ohio State beat down of Florida. Hopefully Ohio State will expose Florida and soundly beat them by 3 touchdowns. Until then, get a clue and come up with better arguments against Michigan.
Sorry Yost for making this so long, but I feel better now.
- December 03, 2006 9:16 AM
You are right. That excellent victory over Western Carolina is reason enough to give Florida a shot at the Mythical National Championship. Western Carolina is such a power-house in football. Their 2-9 record is fantastic. Maybe they should play the Buckeyes in Arizona this year?
Jim, do not come on here and proclaim a 62-0 victory over a horrible Division I-AA school as a better victory than the Ball State win. At least Ball State finished 5-7 and all of their wins were over Division I-A. That is more than Florida can say.
Get a clue.
- December 03, 2006 9:44 AM
Anyone who has Danielson's email should post that here so he can get a barrage of emails with little slurping noises.
- December 03, 2006 10:08 AM
Anon 6:16 & 6:44 - you're probably the same guy- who knows
I fell into the same trap as everyone in here - we're comparing schedules and we only have a single common team folks are using as a barometer. We all know that's BS, but I'm as guilty as anyone else. I think OSU may win against UofF, but I think it will be closer than what you think. Of UofF and UofM, one team has already demonstarted a loss to OSU. On a neutral field, I see you playing better sure, but I wonder if OSU gives up 3 TOs without getting any in a rematch. UofF?
It's probably not fair for me to argue with anyone on here as I'm only rooting for a conference, not my personal team. I hate UofF and Urban Cryer more, and I appreciate being given the opportunity to post my thoughts at this blog site. There's no doubt on my mind that UofM deserves a rematch, but UofF also desrves it. Either game wil be good to watch I'm sure - as will a LSU-UofM or SoCal-UofM Rose Bowl meeting.
- December 03, 2006 10:12 AM
HUGE MICHIGAN FAN. Either way we should be happy as fans.
If tOSU plays Fla they will destroy them and it will make all our points true.
We play USC and win and it will make all our points true.
It would suck not to play for the National Championship, yes, but to silence all the critics that say we don't play a tough enough schedule would be great.
...And we will still have a good team to look forward to next year.
With that said, I can't stand hearing Urben "Oscar" Myer trying to get votes last night on the HYPE Network by saying how tough a road they had and....their game against ARK was the "best college game of the year"!!!!!
HA-FRICKIN-HA!!! He obviously was right when he said he never saw any tape on tOSU all year. We all kow what was the best game of the year!
- December 03, 2006 11:03 AM
Ever heard of a guy named Kirk Herbstreit?
If it was painful for some of you to listen to Danielson last night, now you know how some of the rest of the nation has felt listening to Herbie shill for the Big 10/11, specifically OSU and UM.
Danielson didn't do anything last night that hasn't already been done by more than a handful of journalists at ABC/ESPN.

as much as I agree that Danielson was over the top -
it was the SEC championship game - the only reason I tuned in (after 10 hours at work) was because the outcome would effect Michigan. Most people watching the game - besides Michigan and OSU fans, were SEC fans, it's not that huge of a deal
- December 03, 2006 11:30 AM
It may be minor, but the fact that Central Michigan, who was considered a chump opponent by many folks won the MAC Conference should be worth a little extra to the Michigan argument.
I mean if someone is going to make comments about the timing of playing Vanderbilt, the win over a Conference Champion (albeit a mid-major) should be worth something.
- December 03, 2006 11:39 AM
I am a Buckeye fan and, frankly, I don't want a rematch simply because IMO it would take away from The Game. That being said, I think Michigan is #2 and if Michigan played Florida, I would take you guys and give the points.
As far as Danielson goes, he truly has become a total SEC shill. Aside from that lick fest yesterday, he was on the radio here in Columbus recently and did nothing but run down the B10 and crown the SEC the Queen of Conferences. I thought Tim Brando more than filled the apparent requirement at CBS for an SEC loving tool, but it seems he isn't getting the job done well enough to suit corporate. It is a shame about Danielson who I thought was the best analyst in the booth.
- December 03, 2006 12:15 PM
Had the guy been singing Michigan's praises you'd be falling all over him.
UM couldn't even with their conference. They should not play for the national title. If a team can't even claim their own conference title they have no business saying they deserve to play for the national title. Besides, OSU already beat UM this year.
- December 03, 2006 12:58 PM
And what if the SEC championship was played at Arkansas. Would Florida have won?

Now that USC has taken themselves out of the picture, why not the Gators instead of Michigan? Let's take a look.....
The Gators are SEC conference champions, winning it on the field in a championship game.....the Wolverines are a second-place team in their conference....advantage Gators.
Their opponents have essentially the same winning percentage, .580 for the Gators and .579 for the Michigan. But take out that lousy DI-AA Western Carolina game and the Gators' opponents have .610 winning percentage in 12 games compared to Michigan's opponents .579 in 12 games....advantage Gators.
The Gators played 10 bowl eligible teams compared to 7 for Michigan....advantage Gators.
The Gators beat three currently ranked teams (UT, LSU, Ark). After the next poll, that number will most likely be four as GT is expected to drop out and UGA will again be ranked. Michigan has beat only two ranked teams (ND, WI)....advantage Gators.
All 4 ranked teams (3 now plus UGA to be) that the Gators beat also beat other teams that are currently ranked (UT beat Cal, LSU beat UT & Ark, Ark beat UT & Auburn and UGA beat Auburn). Michigan, well, not the same. WI played nobody currently ranked except Michigan and ND only beat GT who is expected to be unranked in the next poll....advantage Gators.
In Michigan's last game, they gave up 42 point and over 500 yards of offense. They let Heisman Trophy candidate Troy Smith throw 4 touchdown passes! In the Gators last game, they held one of the most dominating running attacks in the country to about half their normal output and kept Heisman Trophy candidate Darren McFadden to his second lowest rushing output in a meaningful game....advantage Gators.
And comparisons like this could go on all night. But the bottom line is the Gators are conference champs of what is traditionally one of the toughest (if not the toughest) conference in the country and they did it on the field.
Michigan had a great season and I hope they smoke USC in the Rose Bowl, but this one goes to the Gators!

"Their opponents have essentially the same winning percentage, .580 for the Gators and .579 for the Michigan. But take out that lousy DI-AA Western Carolina game and the Gators' opponents have .610 winning percentage in 12 games compared to Michigan's opponents .579 in 12 games....advantage Gators."
How can you justify throwing out the record of a team Florida scheduled! Can Michigan throw out it's worst opponent too? No advantage here, it is a push.
And Penn State will probably be in the top 25 of the BCS rankings, so Michigan will be 3-1 against BCS top 25, same as Florida. Push.
In Florida's last game, their 4 year started fumbled twice and threw 2 interceptions. Advantage Michigan.
Yes, we could play this game all day long. The arguments lead to a push, because you can pick and choose any number of ways for your team to come out ahead. Analyzing in this manner is far too subjective, which is the argument against Danielson...
you can't say
LSU vs Wisconsin, advantage Florida
Kentucky vs Minnesota, advantage Florida
Too narrow and too subjective.
- December 03, 2006 2:42 PM
To say that Danielson is an ass is putting it mildly. Add the Urban Myth to that long list of assholes lobbying for one school or another. The CBS really isn't the problem. It's all of these 'professional' announcers with a network exec in his ear, hyping one team or another.
Congrats to Michigan on a great season, in spite of the talking heads or ESPiN and other networks. And hats off to Lloyd Carr for staying above the fray with his comments last night. That was a great show of class, something Meyer completely lacks.
Please lend your support to my Buckeyes and pray that they beat the piss out of Florida. I have no doubt that the true #2 team in the country is going to wipe that cocky smirk off of Pete Carroll's face.

I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I'm rooting for the Bucks to crush Florida now b/c Urban Cryer was showed no class during this process.
- December 03, 2006 2:58 PM
I thought GD said what many were thinking and no one had the cajones to say for the last few weeks:
You simply can not ignore the champion of the toughest conference in college football, whom, like Michigan, has just one loss on the season. Florida's schedule was murder week afer week, far more difficult than Michigan's.
I admire Danielson for leveling the discussion which had been biased for Michigan ever since they got a meaningless late TD in Columbs.
You had a shot Big Blue.
You did not win your conference; you do NOT deserve a shot at the national title or "a redo" against Ohio State.
Now, go beat up on those stinkin Trojans already and pray for a split.
- December 03, 2006 3:20 PM
Believe it or not, I always root for Michigan in a bowl game or a big out of conference game, because it makes the Big 10 look stronger. I will be rooting especially hard this year because Carroll's program is as shady as the dark side of the mooon. Unfortunately, the media is in love with him and USC. And Michigan is going to absolutely CRUSH USC if they play anything like they did yesterday.
My condolences on getting jobbed by the media. What I think is funny is that no one was making a case against USC, even though they lost to an unranked team on the road and Michigan lost to the Bucks. But like I said, the media loves Slippery Pete. I think Michigan wins by 3 TD.
Keep your heads up. Michigan is going to be absolutely loaded again next year, with a Troy Smith-less OSU at home. Next year could be your year.
Thanks for staying classy, Michigan fans. We'll do the Big 10 proud and put a beatdown on that asshole Urban Meyer and his classless UF president/friend.
- December 03, 2006 3:25 PM
My favorite "push" is the Vandy games, that is total bollacks. Vandy is the only common ground we have to compare the two teams and against Vandy the Wolverines have better stats (some fairly close but better nonetheless) than Florida for rushing yards, total yards, points scored, passing yards allowed, rushing yards allowed, total yards allowed, points allowed and turnover differential against the Commodores.
The only stat where Florida out-did Michigan in the Vandy games was yards passing. That game is the closest anyone can come to making a dirct comparison between teams and Michigan comes out with better numbers for 8 of the 9 major stat categories.
Anyone own the rights to firedanielson.com yet?
- December 03, 2006 3:26 PM
And hats off to Lloyd Carr for staying above the fray with his comments last night. That was a great show of class, something Meyer completely lacks.
Thanks for the classy comments gobucks50.
Yes, I was even more impressed with Lloyd Carr last night in not politiking for UM on Sportscenter. He is a class act. And I was impressed with Tressel today in not making a vote one way or another. I think it was very classy of him to abstaine from that vote, because he would have gotten blasted either way (vote for UM and is accused of being a Big 10 homer, vote for Florida and is accused of not wanting to play UM again). He has an opinion on which team tOSU should play obviously, but I really like how he didn't let his vote influence other voters.
I'll be the first to say it-if Florida plays you guys, Go Bucks.

I'm assuming that most of the UM fans here didn't tune into the SEC championship game until after the USC game was over? Because if you'd seen the first half you'd realize that Danielson is so biased in Florida's favor that he did a similar schedule comparison between UF and USC and came out in favor of USC. Maybe he just knows a lot more about football than the rest of us and after watching SEC games for a season came to realize where the best football is played. The great thing is that if the Big Ten is the better conference, OSU will have a chance to shut all of us 'rednecks' up. So we'll find out on the field. Enjoy your trip to Pasadena!

Like most people have said, it appears that Florida is probably headed off to play OSU. I'm a bit surprised by how anyone can say that Florida is "clearly" better than Michigan based on schedule, etc... The reality is the teams are pretty damn equal.
If Florida does go I hope OSU kicks the crap out of them and I hope Michigan beats the crap out of USC.
- December 03, 2006 7:17 PM
i'm sorry the one cbs game that was viewed by big 10 folks this year displayed the same bias that abc/espn has done for usc/big 10 the last few years.
i do remember, 3 minutes after meechegan vs. ohio state, every talking head attached to abc/espn said there should be a rematch, it's what the people want. the rematch topic was brought up weeks before the stupid game was even played.
the next week, usc beat notre dame. (i hate to break it to you but, notre dame is not that good....their best win is beating georgia tech by 4 points, shitty calls included). usc whoops up on usc and i quote "the road to glendale is paved with trojans" the espn.com poll on who deserves to play ohio state didn't even include florida.
now, dear god...someone displayed a lack of objectivity when calling/giving opinions on a game with teams related to the tv station that plays their games. who would have thought?
sorry it happend to michigan this year. it's happend to plenty others in the past.
- December 03, 2006 7:32 PM
Danielson has moved to Florida since he left ABC, I'm sure the Gators will take care of good ole Gary now that he lives down there. It's amazing how quick he forgot he grew up in metro Detroit, went to Purdue and played for the Lions. If I see him I will bitch slap him.
- December 03, 2006 8:40 PM
Hold on a f****** minute here. How is this any different than Herbstreit constant d-sucking of everything USC. ESPN is owned by ABC, who I thought had a contract with PAC teams. Also, we saw the same unbridled rim job touting Notre Dame by Herby, saying they should still play in a bowl game despite their 20+ loss to USC.
If Danielson went overboard on Saturday, it wasn't much more than these other inept announcers spout off.
By the way, I hate Florida. I'm an FSU fan living in Orlando and can't wait for the matchup with those baby blue west coast softies.
- December 03, 2006 10:01 PM
I gotta echo the FSU fan. Most of the media at ESPN have a Big 10 background. Yes, Danielson pushed for Florida during the SEC Championship game. But, ESPN pushed for Michigan and OSU for how many weeks before that game? And if that's not bad enough check out the ESPN Classic schedule sometime. They're hyping the teams that are playing on their networks. They used to replay classic games of any teams meeting that week but now it's just Big 10, Pac 10 and ND. That's really all CBS did.
The media, in my view, is the #1 reason we need a playoff. They have way, way too much influence on the outcome of something they're supposed to be reporting on.
- December 03, 2006 10:10 PM
Herbstreit is an idiot. His preseason Heisman and NC winner?
Weatherford [FSU] and Miami.
The guy should be fired immediately. Oh, I'm OSU and live in CMH too.

Anon 5:13 (from a while ago):
"And I think ABC/ESPN should give an hour of time today to Brent Musberger, Brian Griese, or Herbstreit to "lobby" for Michigan."
Are you serious? Everyone knows Musberger wouldn't lobby for Michigan, he'd lobby for Texas. He bleeds burnt orange.
- December 04, 2006 2:07 PM
He is still ranting his case on WDFN after yesterday's bullshit rant on WXYT... what an bais asshole. He has an huge chip on his shoulder. Now trying to dig his tarnished name in the state of Michigan out of the hole he dug on Saturday night. I hope we loses his CBS SEC job, his graphic analysis was unbelievable...

On December 1st, 1999 Jello Biafra, Krist Novoselic, Kim Thayil and drummer Gina Mainwal performed a one-off protest concert against the World Trade Organization, and all that it stands for, at The Showbox in Seattle. History, insurrection and tear gas was in the air, as hundreds of fans and weary protestors defied the Seattle police curfew to show up and rock the house.
Tension was everywhere. No one knew if the show would even happen 'til the band walked out on stage. Biafra had been out rabble-rousing to gatherings big and small. Krist spent days filming as much of the ruckus as he could. Kim and Gina just wanted to reach the venue without being gassed and arrested. Somehow amongst it all, time was found for three rehearsals.
The plot began when Biafra and Krist were brainstorming with protest organizers for music talent to add to the events. Big names were proven "unavailable", so Krist drafted Biafra and the all-star pseudo-supergroup was hatched.
The NO W.T.O COMBO was recorded live on multi-track and mixed by Krist Novoselic and legendary grunge wizard Jack Endino; capturing the energy and 'you-are-there' ambiance of a night like no other. Artwork includes lots of W.T.O. info, photos, and a personal journal and reflections by Krist Novoselic. Biafra tied together many ideas from his spoken word albums and adds a few new ones on the opening track. The NO W.T.O. COMBO performed two new Biafra songs, one Dead Kennedys classic, and one Jello Biafra With DOA rager! This is just over 44 minutes in length- Roughly 15 minutes of spoken word and 29 minutes of music, plus iconic artwork by Shepard Fairey. A fantastic-sounding live document of insurrection, No WTO Combo style!
"The music on this CD was recorded live on Dec 1, 1999 several hours after a police enforced curfew had gone into effect on the second day of unrest at the WTO ministerial meeting in Seattle, WA. The show itself (which included performances from other artists) was reviewed here shortly after it took place (please see "Biafra & Franti: Live from the Occupied Zone"). The No WTO Combo consists of Jello Biafra (ex-Dead Kennedys, current Lard, etc.) at the mic, Kim Thayil (ex-Soundgarden) on guitar, Krist Novoselic (ex-Nirvana, current Sweet 75) on bass and Gina Mainwal (Sweet 75) on the drums.The sound quality on this live recording is excellent. From the opening spoken word / musical improv piece 'Battle in Seattle' all the way to the closer 'Full Metal Jackoff' the live music and vocals are clear and masterfully recorded. I was at this show and I don't remember it sounding this good (however, I was sitting on the bass side of the stage which is never a good idea if you like to hear musical detail). Jello's spoken monologue leads directly into an awesome cover of Dead Kennedys' 'Let's Lynch the Landlord'. I remember I just about left my body at that moment. You see, I got into the Dead Kennedys in 1986... the same year they broke up... never saw them live except on videotape. Seeing Jello do '...Landlord' was a beautiful thing especially since Thayil and Novoselic play the song so joyfully themselves. As I listen to this track again, I get the feeling Soundgarden and Nirvana must've played this tune for fun at band rehearsals.Jello wrote two new tracks that were designed just for the occasion ('Electronic Plantation' and 'New Feudalism'). These new tracks were conceived of and rehearsed mere days before they were performed in Seattle. As a result, they have a debut/demo quality to them. Soundwise you won't be able to tell the new cuts apart from vintage Dead Kennedys... Thayil's take on the music is very faithful to the guitar stylings of the Kennedy's East Bay Ray. 'Full Metal Jackoff' is a cover tune from another Jello project (Biafra with DOA). Here Novoselic and Mainwal lay down a steady and relentless rhythm to which Thayil adds some scrambling Soundgarden-isms. In front of this wall of sound stands Jello shreaking and preaching somberly from on high about everything that is wrong with America.Though I am nuts about the music, my favorite thing about this release is the insert that comes with the CD. In it, aside from the lyrics and cool photos from the event, are the WTO diaries of both Jello Biafra and Krist Novoselic. These detailed accounts of what went down before, during, and after this show (from two highly respectable artists) are worth the price of the disc alone. To top it off, an article from the Institute for Consumer Responsibility answers the question "What is the WTO?" (in case you're still unclear about this). Many links and addresses are inlcuded for the more curious and studious among us.Live From the Battle in Seattle is easily the most important release of the year. If there is justice in the world, this disc should be nominated for some damned presitigious grammy-type award or another."- Raptorial
"Live From The Battle In Seattle is an interesting release in that it mainly stands as a document to what happened in those few days. It's only 5 tracks and 45 minutes long, but the listener is able to get a good feel for what's going on (and what went on) through a combination of music and spoken word... As usual, Biafra's rant is a combination of good facts and rather inspired (and inciting) riffing on what has happened, and there's just enough crowd noise in the recording to make you sort of feel like you were there.The album actually opens with a 15-minute rant by Biafra and whether or not you enjoy the release will pretty much hinge on how much you enjoy his spoken word. As usual, he plays the crowd pretty well with some statistics and lacing his socio-political speech with a batch of obsenity and ripping on those in charge. From there, the group plays 4 songs, including 1 Dead Kennedy track ("Let's Lynch The Landlord"), 2 new ones ("New Feudalism" and "Electronic Plantation") and the album closer of "Full Metal Jackoff" that Biafra did with D.O.A. In the track, he's updated the lyrics for the performance with several references to the election (which had just taken place)... The band itself sounds pretty tight for only a couple days worth of practice and the two new tracks are pretty darn good as well. If you weren't there and wished you could have been, it's a way to get a little closer."- Almost Cool
"A new CD relives the night that ex-members of Nirvana, Soundgarden and the Dead Kennedys united to entertain the troops at the Battle of Seattle.
If ever a protest deserved a soundtrack, it was the tumultuous anti-WTO demonstrations in Seattle. On Dec. 1, after shutting down the city center and disrupting the trade summit, 400 weary protesters took a break from the fiery all-day demonstrations to brave the dusk-to-dawn curfew. The tired troops crammed into a popular downtown club called the Showbox to witness an unlikely USO band: singer/spoken-word performer Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys) playing the Bob Hope role, backed by guitarist Kim Thayil (Soundgarden), bassist Krist Novoselic (Nirvana) and drummer Gina Mainwal (Sweet 75).
Calling themselves the No WTO Combo, the one-off group ripped through a blistering set of Dead Kennedys-style hardcore. "Jello just exploded," says Novoselic, remembering the show. "Kim was bombin' those riffs out, just shredding. Gina was rockin'."Neither Novoselic nor Thayil had ever performed onstage with Biafra, one of the most enduring, notorious and politically active figures to come out of the late 1970s and early 1980s California punk scene. The idea of the No WTO Combo came about when Biafra and Novoselic, president and founder of the Joint Artists and Music Promotions Political Action Committee, were touring together as speakers on the activist-oriented Spitfire Tour. The two talked backstage and agreed that the forthcoming WTO protests needed "a music show in the middle of everything."
The No WTO Combo used a few hours over Thanksgiving weekend to practice politically charged songs like "New Feudalism," "Electronic Plantation" and "Full Metal Jackoff." Then, as the week of protests unfolded, Novoselic spent each day walking around the downtown area, keeping a daily diary of events that ended up in the form of liner notes for the album.
"The thing that made the biggest impression on me was when I walked up to this one police line and they were starting to [fire] tear gas. Our eyes were burning and our throats were burning," says Novoselic. "People were getting mad. Some people were yelling 'fuck you' at the cops. But there was something in particular that other people were [yelling at the] police that made an impact on me. They [were shouting], 'This is what democracy looks like!'""It inspired me to the power of direct action and nonviolent protest," Novoselic says. "To see so many people mobilized and utilizing the mechanism of democracy was inspiring. I got a real charge out of that."Thayil, for his part, supported the protesters, but explained that he had certain reservations about Western campaigns to improve environmental and labor standards in developing countries. "I suppose it's only natural that we turn around and say, 'Let's [bring opportunities] for health and a cleaner environment to our brothers and sisters elsewhere.' It's a good thing to do. But it should also be kept in mind that we shouldn't use this kind of legislation and sentiment to bully other countries and to maintain the U.S. position in its imperial dominance over the world."
Thayil, who earned a degree in philosophy from the University of Washington around the time his group was beginning to make major waves in the Seattle grunge scene, hadn't played a live show since Soundgarden disbanded in 1997. The amount of time he had spent away from live performance, as well as the heavy police and military presence around the Showbox, gave Thayil a generous case of pre-concert nerves. But once on stage, he says, everything fell into place."Novoselic echoes the sentiment. "I've had the feeling a few times in my life where there's something going on that's so exhilarating and magical. I know the whole world was watching Seattle there for a few days," he adds. "I remember coming off that stage high as a kite. Natural adrenaline. I was high, man." "- salon.com

If the New York Times was constantly searching for archival footage to prove that Mitt Romney doesn't like black people, or that he is "whipping up race hatred," the conservative media would accuse them of frivolously ignoring the actual issues that this election ought to turn on.

The whole liberal conceit that Obama is a good, enlightened man, while his opponent is a malign, hard-hearted cretin, depends on constructing a reality where the lives of non-Americans -- along with the lives of some American Muslims and whistleblowers -- just aren't valued. Alternatively, the less savory parts of Obama's tenure can just be repeatedly disappeared from the narrative of his first term, as so many left-leaning journalists, uncomfortable confronting the depths of the man's transgressions, have done over and over again.He's positioning himself to the left of Obama, but the point is, he's not an Obamaphile, unless he's performing the ministrations of Obamaphilia in a rather subtle fashion.
ADDED: I didn't mean to suggest that I share every detail of Friedersdorf's opinion, only opposition to the exploitation of the old video of him pandering to an audience of black churchgoers. I don't, in fact, agree that Obama has a "long record of public policy-making" that's entirely devoid of "evidence of racial animosity or radicalism." There's some racial animosity and radicalism here and there. He's too far to the left for my taste on many issues (and Romney is too far to the right). He hasn't repressed every shred of racial critique that's ever crossed his mind. That's not a big deal to me. What does bother me is that he hasn't fulfilled the dream that many white people projected onto him — with his fully willing encouragement — that he would take us to a higher ground, racially. But we, the voters, need to take responsibility for our own vulnerability to the idealistic rhetoric that flows so freely from political candidates.

debshare.create is a hackish script used for producing .debshare files, which are basically "self-executable", monolithic archives containing several .deb packages. A .debshare file is meant to install one (or more) applications that it contains, complete with all its dependencies. This facilitates easy sharing of applications across computers using a single file, as opposed to multiple .deb packages. This idea was originally meant for Ubuntu systems, but there should be no reason why it shouldn't work on other similar distributions. Technically, a .debshare file is a bash shell script with a binary payload (a tar archive with the .deb-s) appended to it.

And although I would never admit it in certain company, Tony is a friend of the MZone, having linked to us numerous times and appearing as a guest on the Internet radio show we used to do during the Original M Zone days. In addition, as many with an audience did on the Michigan side, he helped rally the Buckeye faithful in order to keep the Michigan-Ohio State game in its rightful place at the end of the season.
So with Michigan locking up not only a bowl bid but its first winning season under Rich Rodriguez, I wanted to get an outside perspective on the State of the Program in A2. Specifically, with even Michigan fans still seemingly split on the subject, I wanted to get an opinion on Rodriguez and his future from someone who follows Michigan more closely than some Michigan fans (even if it is for an evil purpose).
Thus, Gerd was kind enough to tear himself away from the OZone - where they plot the overthrow and the destruction of all that is good in the world on a daily basis, hoping to replace it with a Scarlet and Gray darkness - to answer a couple questions with us here at the MZone.
MZONE: Now that Rich Rodriguez has secured Michigan's first winning season and bowl game since he took over, speaking as unbiased as you can as an Ohio State fan, do you think he has earned a 4th season? Why/why not?
GERD: I think this has to be looked at from two different perspectives. Has he earned a fourth season relative to his first two seasons? Yes. Has he earned a fourth season relative to Michigan football? No.
If somebody put together a "Rich Rodriguez Fact Sheet", much like NDNation did with the Ty Willingham Fact Sheet (which is probably still googleable), and just collected all of the "records" Rodriguez has set at Michigan, and you just stood back and looked at the accomplishments on a piece of paper, is there ANY way you would say, "Hey, THIS guy has earned more time."
But you probably can't look at it that way because of what is invested. And as I've said repeatedly, Bill Martin and the University should have seen these struggles coming with such a change, and because of that, I can completely understand if Rodriguez is given more time, even if he hasn't necessarily earned it in relation to past Michigan coaches.
MZONE: What do you like about Rich Rodriguez's program/coaching/what mistakes do you think were made? Is the foundation there to compete for Big 10 titles with the Buckeyes or is something missing?
GERD: When Rodriguez was hired, I wrote a magazine article about what I saw with the future of Michigan football. And one of the questions I had was with his recruiting and player development. I believe he had ten players drafted in his seven seasons at West Virginia. In that same time frame, Louisville had 24--and they were only in the Big East for three of those seasons. In Don Nehlen's final seven seasons, they produced 21 draft picks. Basically, he wasn't producing as many NFL draft picks as similar teams.
So my thought would be that since he isn't producing NFL players, high school players that Michigan normally targets wouldn't be as interested in playing for Rodriguez because he just doesn't put enough players into the NFL. And I think we're seeing that to some degree. But the biggest problem I see in this regard is that he still seems to be recruiting like he's at West Virginia.
He reaches on players from out of state like he has no choice. Like Purdue and Indiana do.
I just don't think he appreciated or understood the affect the logo on his shirt could have had when he was recruiting. And now it's too late. At least for this year or so. But then, as I said, he's not really interested in recruiting the way Michigan did in the past. And I think the results you're seeing aren't coincidental.
You ask what has he done that I like, and I'm trying to find something. I really don't want to be a hater (like you are!), but it's hard to come up with something. I will readily admit that I never saw this coming from Denard Robinson. And I like some of the way he is used. And I definitely believe he is a dynamic weapon, and could be in any other offense as well. But as I've said since week one, Rodriguez can't use Robinson the way he did and expect to have him healthy all season. And I'm not sure that changes next year even with a more experienced stable of running backs.
As far as competing for a Big Ten title, I think he definitely can. Northwestern has won the Big Ten as many times as Penn State has since the Nittany Lions joined the Big Ten. Purdue has won it. Illinois has won it. Michigan State is on the verge of winning it. There's no reason Michigan can't do the same. But I never see them competing with Ohio State year in and year out. Unless Rodriguez is at Michigan for the very long haul, and the next Ohio State coach is a bad hire.
I never felt his West Virginia teams would have dominated in the Big Ten either. The teams in this conference have too many solid defenses too often. (And yes, I'm aware of the 2010 statistics.) That is why I thought that maybe if he recruited Michigan-level players in a West Virginia system, then maybe he would have something. Fortunately, that never really happened in my opinion.
And I haven't even touched on his defense. But then, I want to keep this friendly.
MZONE: As a Buckeye fan and assuming he's kept around, do you think Rich Rodriguez can get the game back to The Game? If not, who can/is there a hire that you think would make Ohio State fans sit up and take notice?
GERD: All it will take is one win to get the game back to The Game. I'm not going to sit here and say Michigan can't win this year. And I definitely think next year could be a possibility. But I don't know when Michigan would likely be favored again. 2013?
The hire that would make fans go berserk--and because of their love of the rivalry the guy that most want to see get the job--is Jim Harbaugh.
Buckeye fans are ready to hate again, and Harbaugh would instantly be put right up there with Bo, Mo and Lloyd, because there's no way he wouldn't say something to torque them off at the first opportunity.
It's a love-hate thing though. And also a case of 'be careful what you wish for'. But I think people are willing to risk it for The Game.
And I don't think Rodriguez really enjoys this rivalry all that much. Whereas Harbaugh revels in it. And we HATE when Michigan coaches do that!
Can you imagine the scene next year if Harbaugh is on the sidelines in Ann Arbor and Ohio State comes in at 11-0 with a senior quarterback? Tell me there wouldn't be flashbacks of 1969 floating around amongst all you hippies.
I think Michigan is limited under Rodriguez. I don't see that same limit for Harbaugh. He's a tremendous recruiter, and you've seen the coaching results on the field. He's beaten teams that his team shouldn't have. How often has that happened for Rodriguez?
Lastly, for the offense lovers, Stanford is scoring 39.8 points per game this season. Michigan is scoring 37.7.

For NFL Draft nerds (like myself), this week has marked the true start to NFL Draft season.
Baltimore Ravens General Manager Ozzie Newsome lead a group of staffers who traveled to Orlando to watch practice ahead of this year's annual East West Shrine Game.
With the NFL Draft likely to take place before free agency begins this year, it can be argued that Draft season is more significant than it has been in years past.
Before we start to look at players involved in Draft season, I think we should first identify the Ravens' biggest areas of need. With free agency still to determine many things, here are the areas where I believe the team most needs to improve.
1. Defensive End-Newsome said this week the team needs a "companion" for LB Terrell Suggs in pass rush. I agree, and I believe it needs to be a true edge rusher.
2. Offensive Tackle-If the team feels comfortable with bringing back Jared Gaither (and Head Coach John Harbaugh indicated they were), re-signing him could address the problem. If not, they'll need to upgrade.
3. Wide Receiver-The Ravens will have to make decisions on TJ Houshmandzadeh and Donte' Stallworth; but need to come away with a big receiver and a speed receiver that can both be counted on offensively.
4. Cornerback-Only Domonique Foxworth and Lardarius Webb are under contract, so the team needs to make decisions on Chris Carr, Josh Wilson, Fabian Washington and Cary Williams. Either way, they would be well served to add a bigger, more physical corner.
5. Fullback-If Le'Ron McClain returns, this wouldn't be an issue. With the current expectation that he won't return, the team will be looking for an option here.
6. Inside Linebacker-At the MIKE spot, the team knows Ray Lewis can't play forever. At the WILL spot, the team has three players (Jameel McClain, Tavares Gooden, Dannell Ellerbe) who are all coming up on some form of free agency and who have not separated themselves from each other at all.
7. Safety-While it doesn't appear Ed Reed will retire this offseason, the Ravens have to think about the possibility it could happen in the near future. At the same time, Dawan Landry is a free agent and appears to be one of the more likely free agents on the team to get bigger money elsewhere.
8. Center-Whether or not Matt Birk retires (I'll guess he doesn't), the team clearly needs to review the position. If Birk returns, it will only be for one more season. I don't think the team has future plans for Chris Chester in the middle. Daniel Sanders could be an option, but the team might be well to draft a center as well.
9. Running Back-Willis McGahee is a very likely departure this offseason, leaving the team with a need to compliment Ray Rice.
10. Quarterback-If Marc Bulger departs, the Ravens will need someone else to backup Joe Flacco. Hunter Cantwell could be an option, but they might want to at least CONSIDER a doomsday theory scenario with Flacco and draft a mid to late round QB as well.
Some of these positions will be addressed whenever free agency finally does begin, others can be addressed simply by signing the team's own free agents. Before free agency is even an issue, the Ravens will have to get through Draft season.
Here are a look at 10 players participating in the Shrine Game, which you can watch at 4pm on NFL Network.
RB Evan Royster (Penn State)
After an explosive sophomore season (1,391 yards of total offense and 12 TD's), Royster immediately gained attention.
Incredibly, he posted two more very steady seasons, tallying 1,356 yards of total offense and 8 TD's in 2009; 1,216 yards of total offense and 7 TD's in 2010. He has the size of a back who could compliment Rice (6'1″, 228 pounds) and many scouts think he'll have a solid career as a third down back at the NFL level.
So what's the problem? Well, Royster's biggest performances as a senior came against Temple and Michigan, neither or which can really be considered premiere defenses. He also doesn't fit the bill of the dynamic backs in the Naitonal Football League currently like Rice, Jacksonville Jaguars back Maurice Jones-Drew, Houston Texans back Arian Foster, Tennessee Titans back Chris Johnson or Kansas City Chiefs back Jamaal Charles.
As of right now, he's probably a mid to late round pick. If so, he might be a solid pick-up should McGahee leave Charm City.
WR Lester Jean (Florida Atlantic)
As the Ravens look for a receiver who can extend the field, they might want to think about Jean. He's 6'3″ (and somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 pounds), and has deceptive quickness.
While the Owls don't exactly play against top caliber opposition in the Sun Belt conference, Jean also managed to post big games against Texas (see above) and Michigan State. He finished the 2010 season with 64 catches for 988 yards and 8 TD's, wrapping up a career with 146 catches for 1,992 yards and 15 touchdowns.
He's probably a late round pick at this point, but what he does at the Citrus Bowl Saturday and what he does at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis could lift him to late Friday night or early Saturday morning. If the Ravens don't go receiver early, he could certainly be an option for the team later in the weekend. Jean wasn't exactly hotly pursued out of High School in Miami, but he could be a hot name in April.
DE Justin Trattou (Florida)
Maybe an interception isn't the greatest highlight to offer for a player the Ravens would be looking to see handle an edge rush, but I can only work with what I have.
Trattou is a rising end whose size has never matched his ability to bring down a QB. He tallied just 8 sacks over his four seasons in Gainesville despite his 6'4″, 255 pound frame. In fairness, he was surrounded by top notch rushers like Carlos Dunlap during much of his Gators career.
Trattou may pan out to be more of a Dwan Edwards or Cory Redding contain type of end, but NFL.com's Bucky Brooks says he's put together an impressive mix of rush moves this week in the shadow of Disney World. If he continues to show a rush presence, he could be an intriguing name for the Ravens to consider on Saturday.
S Jermale Hines (Ohio State)
Hines' career interception total over four years in Columbus (three) looks more like a single game for a future Hall of Famer like Reed, but that doesn't mean Hines hasn't had a nose for the football. The safety from Cleveland also finished his Buckeyes career with 159 tackles and two sacks, and was named first team All-Big Ten by conference coaches in 2010.
At 6'1″, 216 pounds; Hines is bigger than your typical free safety-but is also quick. In fact, Hines could be an option as a returner at the next level as well. He's as much an athlete as a football player, but his football skills certainly developed well at OSU, and could very well still improve as he reaches the NFL.
As the Ravens approach Saturday, Hines could be a valuable depth option at safety. While Tom Zbikowski handled FS well with Reed on the PUP list, he didn't necessarily convince anyone he was absolutely the team's replacement for Reed longterm. Hines could be that type of player someday if groomed appropriately at a young age.
WR Terrence Toliver (LSU)
His numbers are by no means overwhelming, but exactly how many times was Ravens Offensive Coordinator Cam Cameron able to call a play like the TD pass Toliver caught from Jarrett Lee above?
The Ravens finished 22nd in red zone efficiency in 2010. For the numerous complaints about the lack of creative play-calling, there was only so much for Cameron to work with. Namely, he missed a target the size of Toliver.
Toliver caught just 41 balls for 579 yards and five TD's during his senior campaign in Baton Rouge. All five TD's happened either in the Florida game above or in the Tigers' Cotton Bowl win over Texas A&M, where he caught three.
But there's another number that's significantly more important.
The only receiver the Ravens have with such size is James Hardy, and he's James Hardy. If the Ravens are truly looking to get more dynamic offensively, Toliver could be a solid pickup on Friday night or Saturday.
FB Anthony Sherman (UConn)
I would love to have been able to share a YouTube clip of the Huskies FB with you, but when you rush just four times for a total of one yard in your senior season I guess there's not much to post.
Sherman might not have big numbers, but he can help take credit for a rushing attack that finished 2nd in the Big East in 2010, just four yards behind conference leading Louisville. He also showed himself to have reliable hands in the Connecticut offense, grabbing 48 passes for 477 yards and a TD over his four seasons playing football in Hartford.
More importantly, Sherman lead the way for RB Jordan Todman to finish fourth in all of the NCAA FBS in rushing with 1,695 yards. If the Ravens are going to want a traditional blocking back (and the way they used McClain would make you think they are), Sherman could very well fit the bill. At 5'11", he has a very effective way of throwing around 244 pounds.
OT Matthew O'Donnell (Queens University Canada)
I know what you're thinking.
Yeah, I'd usually just ignore a Canuck and let CFL teams fight over who gets him. But there are two unique things O'Donnell has going for him.
1-He's 6'10."
2-He did THIS to Boise State DE Ryan Wintersyk at an indoor practice during Shrine Game week.
Does it make him NFL material? Not necessarily. But does it mean more folks will be paying attention? Absolutely.
RB Da'Rel Scott (Maryland)
Scott HAS to hope scouts were paying close attention to the Military Bowl, as his 200 yard, 2 TD performance against East Carolina was by far and away the best of his senior campaign for the Terps. If scouts could only remember his bowl game performances he'd be a lock to get selected, as he also compiled 174 yards and 2 TD's against Nevada in the 2008 Humanitarian Bowl.
After a breakout season (1,133 yards and eight TD's) in 2008, Scott totaled just 1,133 yards and nine TD's in his junior and senior seasons combined.
That being said, Scott's 5'11", 200 pound frame is shifty but can still take a hit. He could be a steady performer behind a solid O-Line at the next level and will likely be available late into Saturday.
QB Ricky Dobbs (Navy)
A number of teams (including the New England Patriots and Detroit Lions) have had no problems selecting service academy players in the NFL Draft and waiting until they were eligible to play. The Ravens have never done that, but with their partnership with the Maryland National Guard, they've certainly been more military friendly in recent years.
Dobbs probably doesn't project to be a quarterback at the next level, but he's a better passer than those who don't follow the Midshipmen (see above) probably realize. Dobbs threw for over 2,500 yards over his junior and senior seasons; combining with 2,170 yards rushing.
It will be interesting to see if Dobbs stays at quarterback throughout Draft season or if he works at other positions. Receiver seems to be the best bet for him given his 5'11", 215 pound size; but he could fit with some of the more undersized running backs in the NFL as well.
The military service will be an issue. He's much more likely to sign as an undrafted free agent than to be picked, but he's the type of special athlete a team might very well be willing to wait for. There's no off-field red flags for NFL teams to worry about with Dobbs, as everything he does he keeps in mind that he ultimately wants to be the President…of the United States.
QB Pat Devlin (Delaware)
If the Pat Devlin story sounds familiar, it should. Substitute "Pitt" for "Penn State", and it's basically the Joe Flacco story again.
Devlin nearly lead the Blue Hens to the NCAA FCS title in 2010, throwing for 3,032 yards and 22 TD's before the Hens were cut down by Eastern Washington in the Championship Game.
Devlin doesn't project quite as high in the 2010 Draft as Flacco did in the 2008 Draft, but he'll have time to try to improve that. As of now, he looks like a Friday night selection, but will get the chance to go up against better talent in Orlando and will get to work out against better players at LucasOil Stadium in Indy.
If he moves up, there's no chance the Ravens take him. If he's around late into Saturday, it wouldn't stun me.

After smoking for 34 years I've gone 5 days without smoking. I couldn't justify another $7.00 a day for a pack and I was breathing really hard going up stairs. After only 5 days smoke free I feel incredible. No wheezing, no shortness of breath, my sense of taste is waking up, and I can smell things again. There are some slightly weird but tolerable side effects but don't let that chase you off if you're considering trying Chantix. I'm really grateful to them, I tried everything else and I was out of options.
If you are a young kid and you started smoking because you thought it was hip and trendy you are a fucking moron. Put down the smokes, walk away, and never look back. You stink, your breath stinks, your clothes stink, and you look like an idiot. You do not look sexy and ironic with a cigarette hanging out of your mouth. There is no justification for smoking that makes sense, none. I wish someone had kicked me in the head when I first tried it and woke my dumb ass up. Not to mention the cost... 34 years X 365 = approx 12,000 packs at and average price of oh say $4.00 a pack = $48,000.00 gone. Wasted. Flicked in the street. I could've done a lot with $48K. How about you?
