huskered17 Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 As a Vikings fan, I'm kind of excited. The good news is I'll get to see him play against my team twice a year. The bad news is he'll be playing against my team twice a year. GBR!!! Quote Link to comment
Blackshirt316 Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 The best thing about Suh going to Detroit is that he'll be getting some great mentoring on how to handle things in the NFL from two guys who definitely have his best interests at heart. He's lining up every sunday by a former Husker in KVB and every day gets to line up and practice against another former Husker in Raiola. Can't do better than that. Quote Link to comment
CornKing Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Ugh I've been boycotting the NFL for years............now I'm a lions fan. Quote Link to comment
ESPY Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Along with the Seahawks & the Titans, I think Detroit will get the best value from their 1st round picks. Suh's value is obvious - the foundation & face of the Lions' D for years to come. On top of that, I'd also say they're going to get great value from Jahvid Best, who is essentially CJ Spiller but with a few health concerns. No doubt the Lions have a ways to go in such a competitive division, but the building blocks are definitely in place. The names speak for themselves - Calvin Johnson, Suh, Vanden Bosch, Stafford, Kevin Jones & now Jahvid Best. Quote Link to comment

junior4949 Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Shows you what injuries can do to a team. Think Oklahoma wasn't talented this year? Three of the top four picks. Amazing. Has any team ever done that? They said that the last time it happened was I believe 1967. However, I don't remember which team it was. On a side note, what's with everyone asking what the SEC's excuse will be this year? Yeah, the Big 12 is loaded with talent. However, when was the last time a Big 12 team beat a SEC team in the NC game? If you can't take all that talent and win with it on the field, does it really matter? IMO, the SEC doesn't need an excuse. They seem to do just fine making their case on the field. Quote Link to comment

junior4949 Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 This is why I had Mack Brown listed so low last fall when there was a thread abour ranking the Big 12 coaches. Year in and year out, Texas is flooded with talent. Vince Young won Texas a NC in spite of Mack Brown. Mack Brown seems to be a good guy. I think his players do like him. I just don't think he gets the most out of them. I feel the same way about Brent Venables. He just doesn't seem to get everything out of his players. 1 Quote Link to comment

Mack should be steamrolling his way to the MNC game every year, but every year he seems to get tripped up, or struggle. It's like living in a gold mine and having to take out a loan for furniture.
