yeah, you can save a couple bucks by getting the online version. I just like paying the extra money and getting the physical magazine that you can sift through.

Yes. It's worth it. I always wait until August. Dave Campbell has a really good one here in Texas that comes out late. I started saving them so I can go back through them at some point.

Its easier for me to read using the on-line version...on a big screen. The disadvantage on that is I cant take it to the crapper with me.

But hold on, wait. What benefit of the doubt? Usually if we are picked at the top that's usually where we finish. I don't see how you can accurately make that statement. If he's picking us for second, that seems logical considering we finished near there last year, and we have nearly the entire offensive line returning.

Disagree...we have underachieved every single year for more than a decade, including 2014. And we were picked at the top in 2016, too. Your statement is wildly inaccurate to any neutral observer.

2nd year QB who was very mediocre a lot of times last year but showed flashes of being the guy.
Lost Gant and Bee...do you remember our defense when Bee was hurt early last year....it stunk.
New defensive coordinator...not of the Heater lineage. Fired from Charlotte...big unknown here.
2nd year OC who still hasn't stretched his legs to show he has some good stuff to bring to the Herd
Receiver corps a basic unknown without Brady there to circus catch anything near him.
Still have Doc "guaranteed to lose 2-3 games we shouldn't" Holliday

Those are facts that cannot be overlooked but admittedly could go either way. I hope all that comes out good for the Herd, but must accounted for when making predictions. I'd rather get picked dead last and come in 2nd, than get picked first and have a 2016 season.

HBU
UTSA
NMSU
Rice

Probably favored in all of those.

I thought unit rankings were off.

Somehow he has La Tech with the best receiver corps and USM with the 4th best OLine. That's nuts.

If they still do not have a QB then they will not be good...Francois already left who Phil steele penciled in, that changes things for FAU...

One cannot leave who had never arrived. QB will be fine this year. We have other issues to sort out in camp.

So, has Francois left or hasn't he?

Not that it matters, we are fine at QB this year, I just wonder where the rumours are coming from.
