Hey Ryan,
I've been asked to construct an All Big 12 defense, and simply wanted to know your opinion. Weatherspoon is a definite candidate, and I REALLY like aldon smith, but what do you think about ebner, who has only started three games? I was also curious to see if you thought these guys had performed well in big games.

here are this weeks picks, too.

While I usually don't promote articles, I saw fit to promote this one. I feel people are not paying attention to what this article is about. They probably should. No matter if you are a fan of Florida or LSU, this is something you need to remember going into tomorrow night.

Hey Ryan-
Nice work with the top25. Glad you did that.
Quick suggestion, and that is to control/organize your page breaks. Especially for a list like that, I'd be careful to place a page break between every two teams say. Rather than letting the system automatically generate them in the middle of your breakdown of #8 OSU, for example.
Let me know if you need any instructions on how to make that happen.
Keep up the good work.

Hey, I just completed my second article on Duke Football, trying to become a Duke Football Featured Columnist. I preview the Top 5 Offensive Players to keep an eye on in 2009. Since I am trying to become a FC, please leave any feedback that you can, what I should do differently next time, things I can do to improve the article, etc. Thanks in advance. I appreciate the support!
