A brief recap

Over the year, I put made some bold predictions, which worked out in several ways for me. First, the bad. Forcier winning the Heisman someday in his college career seems to have been a bit bold, and a little hasty on my part. Barkley also has not lived up to the hype, but a four year starter at USC would be hard to write off as a top pick, so I'll say hasty, but not bold. And, even though it is way to early to know the long-term effects of Larry Johnson playing for the Bengals, he has been running well so far, and may turn out to, not only be a talented running back, but a good player for the team as a whole. And, if we are going to get real picky, I said that the SEC championship would be an offensive sloppy game, which was a high scoring, exciting game. However, with that being said, we can get into the good. I called Alabama to upset Florida, and even though they were only a five point underdog, I was still sitting alone for the most part. Lou Holtz being insane for predicting Notre Dame to win the National Championship. Clausen did get close to being a contender for the Heisman, and has possibly become the quarterback prospect in the draft, but he will still not be invited to New York, so I was still right. And finally, my begging for Vince Young to quarterback for the Titans. Since bringing Young in, the Titans have won five straight games, and while everyone is being reluctant to give Young any credit, what he has done is simply amazing. Yes Chris Johnson has been on fire this season, but he was running the ball when Kerry Collins was in as well. Bottom line is, Young is a winner, and he always has been, and while Jeff Fisher made the move too late, Young is still giving them a longshot, but a shot at the playoffs.
