WVU should win the big 12...
They have 3 of the top 10 players in the league.
http://espn.go.com/blog/big12/post/_...untdown-big-12 As part of “College Football Live’s” 100 Days Till Kickoff countdown, here’s a look at the top 10 players in the Big 12. Note: This is a separate list from our preseason top 25 players. We'll tackle that later. It might be a lot different. It might be much of the same. 1. Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia: Geno's a newcomer to the Big 12, but putting up big numbers is nothing new for the senior, who threw for 4,385 yards last season. Only one quarterback threw for more, but Smith had two more touchdown passes and eight fewer interceptions than the No. 2 quarterback on this list. Smith also completed nearly 3 percent more of his passes. 2. Landry Jones, QB, Oklahoma: Jones checks in at No. 2 as the Big 12's leading returning passer, and will try to climb back in 2012 to give the Sooners another Big 12 title. Jones is the Big 12's most experienced quarterback, which should pay off the fall. 3. Collin Klein, QB, Kansas State: Klein was the league's No. 4 rusher and threw for 1,900 yards? You can't argue with that production, and Klein accounted for 69.8 percent of the Wildcats' offense. That's insane. His importance to K-State can't be understated. 4. Tavon Austin, WR, West Virginia: Austin's the most dangerous playmaker in the Big 12, a true triple threat as a receiver, runner and kick/punt returner. He's the Big 12's No. 2 returning receiver, but he also returned two kicks for touchdowns in 2011, joining two other Big 12 returners who duplicated that feat last season. 5. Jake Knott, LB, Iowa State: Knott was outplayed by teammate A.J. Klein last season, but not by much. Knott was also playing through injuries. He's a superior talent, and like Klein, there's no arguing with his production. He's made 244 tackles in the past two seasons. 6. Joseph Randle, RB, Oklahoma State: Randle is the Big 12's leading returning rusher and should see an increased workload from his 208 carries last season. He turned those into 24 touchdowns to come three short of the Big 12 record. 7. Arthur Brown, LB, Kansas State: Brown's one of the league's most impressive freak athletes, a cruise missile of a linebacker who doesn't miss tackles in the open field and gets there faster than any true linebacker in the league. (You nickelbacks don't count.) 8. Kenny Vaccaro, S, Texas: Vaccaro's the most versatile talent on a loaded Texas defense, and as a roaming nickelback, offenses must account for where he is on every snap. He's also got a case as the hardest hitter in the Big 12. 9. Jackson Jeffcoat, DE, Texas: Who has two last names and is the Big 12's returning sack leader? This guy. His 8.5 sacks were 1.5 more than any other returner in the Big 12, and he made four more tackles for loss (17) than any other returner, too. 10. Stedman Bailey, WR, West Virginia: Bailey's a more traditional receiver in WVU's offense and he's taken advantage. He's the league's leading returning receiver and offers the Mountaineers a steady, dangerous target with sure hands who will help make WVU arguably the league's most dangerous offense. |

No relation to Wickedson, but he has just as much right to voice his opinion as anyone on this board. I've been using the "30 pieces of silver" line for months now. Welcome to the show. And, yes, I do delete my comments from time to time. I sometimes write things in anger that, upon reflection, retract. Some people have no reservation about coming across as unrepentant assholes. I'd prefer to be thought of as a repentant asshole.

So why the **** is he talking about 2 conferences he isn't even in?
PGM for future reference if you're going to be in the SEC, you never give any other conference any praise. Learn or GTFO. Last edited by Setsuna; 05-23-2012 at 10:48 AM.. Reason: xax |

A flaw in my statement? Do you think I knew you've got one nut? Do you think I care? Yeah, I hired a private detective to raid your doctor's office to find incriminating evidence about your testicles, and laid in wait for you to take a pot shot at me over Wickedson before deliberately posting about them to be extra mean. That's the ticket. Of course, now everybody knows you've got one nut because you reacted like a hypersensitive little girl to a simple figure of speech.

Get over yourself, dude. The schtick is tired. Man up, grow up, hire a writer for your comedy bits. You make Carlos Mencia look original.
