In recent years, some sophomores and juniors in college football have declared for the pros before their senior year (today, Jevin Snead of Ole Miss became the latest).
And of course, in college basketball, it seems like all the stud freshman only play for one year
How do you feel about this?
Personally, I don't like it.
I am sick and tired of hearing everyone talk about how much money they are costing themselves.
These players usually end up playing on some woeful teams- teams that are dreadfully awful.
It annoyed me when Oden, Durant, Beasley, Rose, etc. all only played one year in the college game- whatever happened to enjoying the college experience? Whatever happened to wanting to winning national titles?
Sure, you get paid a lot of money- but in some cases, they end up on bad teams.
This would have been Kevin Durant's senior year had he stayed at Texas- instead, he spent the first two years of his career playing on terrible teams.
It amazes me that these guys would rather earn milliions while winning 15-20 games a year than contending for a national title?
I fear for guys that go to terrible teams. Is it REALLY worth it?
Look at Stafford- he won only two games this year. He may not win 20 games over the next 7 years. Is $78 million worth all the sacks, interceptions, and losses? If you ask me- it's not. It's not worth all the pain and struggling.
If John Wall goes pro and is drafted by the Nets, it wouldn't be right to see a player of his caliber stuck on a team that won't be any good for another 5 years.
If you ask me, stay in school. All the money in the world can't buy happiness- or in this case, wins.

The "Is $78 million really worth......." quote may be the craziest thing ever spoken on this site.
$1 million would be well worth all the sacks, interceptions and losses.

If only the Browns could have a QB as good as Stafford

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Can we expect to see a new coach if we say "pretty please?"

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed
Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner
The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.
Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.
