    I think you are an excellent writer and you should keep up the good work...I really like seeing that you have not written any crap articles (ex: Top 10 Hottest Cheerleaders of the NFL) you keep it to clean, real professional sports writing...keep up the great work and you'll go far.

    The comments you have on the Big East, and your opinion on the outcomes of the Orange Bowl were ...... well ........ maybe uneducated is the best way to describe your prediction. YOUR poll says you are 67% wrong. I'm planning on being at the game (Orange Bowl) hope to see you there. Oh, by the way..... I'll bet even in Miami, after the game you'll still be able to smell the burning couches in West "By God" Virginia!
