THE THOMAS REPORT

I'M BACK

We at the Thomas Report have been gone for a while but now we're back. We could give a long drawn out reason for our departure from the Blogoshpere but we won't. There has been an addition to the family though as we are extra proud to announce the arrival of Mila Nicole Thomas.

Now getting right to it. We at the Thomas Report discuss two topics. Politics and Sports; preferably college sports. Now with no delay (Tom Delay), let's start the show.

Miami. What is going on with Miami? Nothing. Miami is Miami. Nothing more. Nothing less. What Miami is lacking offense skill players, thus their demise and magnified off and on the field transgressions. Now, we at The Thomas Report do not condone poor sportsmanship, however, we do recognize Miami's lack of playmakers that the ACC was banking their realignment on hasn’t panned out for the conference and Larry Coker. Think about it. Prior to joining the ACC, Miami was NFL Draft U. It didn’t matter at what position, you go to the U...you go to the league...you play in the BCS...the school makes tons of BCS cash…you go to the league. Miami's lack of production has intensified their inability to sustain a level of play that made them who they were...Miami. Skill and speed kills, and Miami had it until the last of the Moss brothers' skated to the league. Now it's Defense U, where a stock pile of ferocious DB's and linebackers populate the U's draft day gang. Far be it for me to try to search for the racial undertones of the U’s latest debacle, but the fact is there must be a shortage of tailback and wide receivers in Dade and Broward County, and due to the shortage, Miami is short!

My Gators got beat on some BS on October 14th. Well it was inevitable, but I promise that on a neutral field we'd beat Auburn. Chris Leak got caught in indecision and it caused us the game. I do admit that Tim Tebow looks like Rex Grossman in the face, but he's going to go down as the best QB Urban Meyer's ever coached. Tebow is no Wuerffuel, but he's good for what the Gator of date calls for. We'll see if we can get by Georgia and go from there.

Man USC is like the really hot chick from LA you met in Vegas, but there's no shot at getting her. This year they’re like the really hot girl that isn't hot yet, but the following year or so she just rocks your sox. Hands down their system is the best. QB play is vital to their success and it's the most competitive on the field job in college sports. Now before you think Notre Dame, Carlyle Holiday and some other dude (O forgot his name) were QB’s there recently…so no to Notre Dame. Back to USC…You have to be a "balls out" high school QB just for consideration. Socal is also a must (or look the part like JD Booty). Then you have to sit and watch the former red-shirt “so and so” destroy Pac-10 competition for at least two years before you get a shot. To top that off, you have to compete with the next coming of John Elway, who thinks he's going to break the mold of a red-shirt freshman. It won't happen. My favorite coach Pete Carroll has the world fooled like he's some "aw shucks" good-time Charlie surfer dude, all the while he's in the backyard of every state raiding every coach of their premiere talent. Just ask Mack Brown about Emmanuel Moody.

Lastly there's Ohio State. This year's Texas. Well here we go again. A team that only plays three a 12 game season...13 if you consider the bowl. I get into with my partner every year about the Buckeyes. They are an excellent program, and the have a great QB this year, but I feel if you don't play at least 5 ranked teams a season then you're conference is cake. And if you have an overwhelming talent pile on your team then you're short changing college football. SC plays in a traditionally softer conference, but of late they dogged Arkansas, have Cal, and Notre Dame which are top 10 BCS teams, and are playing more freshmen ten any other BCS team. It's safe to say that SC will be number 1 next year from the jump. But this paragraph is about the Bucks and their destiny this year. The Senator has done a great job administering the best program in the mid-west, and since he won a national championship with T-Smif as a red-shirt frosh, then I have no problem with T-Smif being this year's Vince Young. Just make sure he wins the Heisman. 'Til next time...
