The Morning Fade – 12.9.10

Chatmon on Blackmon being the best WR ever – My list goes 1. Hart Lee 2. Rashaun 3. Dez and then Blackmon falls somewhere behind that BUT if he comes back and replicates this season next year I could see him inserting himself into the top 3 convo.

Moses with 31 to lead OSU past Tulsa – I love Ford’s quote, “great performance.” Thanks Travis Belichick.

John Klein on Moses’ night – “In the first-ever basketball game at the BOK Center, Griffin turned in a dominating defensive performance but scored just 19 points in Oklahoma’s 69-44 rout of Tulsa. No one turned in a memorable performance as the WNBA’s Tulsa Shock played its first season at the BOK Center last summer. Moses’ great game might be overshadowed when the NCAA Tournament comes to the BOK Center in the spring. But, it’ll take a sensational night to beat what Moses did.”

Mike Strain on Holgorsen’s future – Great take on where he is/isn’t going and realistic expectations of what’s going to happen.

Ubben analyzes the final Coaches Poll – Jim Harbaugh loves him some Big XII

Dr. Saturday with his top 5 upsets of the year – I can’t even look at the Boise Nevada write-up, I feel too bad for Brotzman.

Pete Thamel on Urban stepping down – My quickie top 5 jobs in the country list: 1. Texas 2. Ohio St. 3. Florida 4. Bama 5. Georgia

Even Cam Newton’s shoes are a fraud

Kyrie Irving out for the year? – I haven’t even gotten to see him play! It’s weird that Duke can lose (arguably) its best player and still be the odds-on favorite to cut the nets in April.
