It's a current article about college football... of course I follow such things.

Man, after reading that article, I may have to retract my statement. That was poorly written and the author just rewrote the same thing over and over again.

I'm glad that the folks at CNN/SI stay up-to-date with their information.

I thought the article wasn't all that bad. Ya, the Carrington and Slater situations aren't up to date but I am sure Athlon isn't rushing to update their previews every time a CUSA "powerhouse" loses a player.

Sanders isn't listed as a returning starter. How many games did he start last year as opposed to not starting? Also, Givens is not listed on their depth chart at all.

Whatever. Damn the daffodils... at this point I don't care about the inaccuracies. I'm just glad that we keep getting positive press.

I especially like

"The Mustangs are loaded with arguably the best young talent in the league."

Yet no one except the KR and P made the all-conference team.

Actually, I don't think he technically started a single game last year. Bobby Chase, Rey Pellerin and Givens/Sledge/Warren were listed as the starters last year, as I recall. But Sanders was the most effective receiver, of course, which just shows this guy didn't read his prospectus very clearly.
