   I cannot seem to find a link to confirm this. I’ve seen it on shaggybevo and now here, but nowhere else. Not even on the Thorpe Award website.

   I haven’t either actually. I saw it on SB and assumed it was true.

   If this is a hoax, SailorRipley should be fired.

   I went ahead and posted it on BON as well.

   If this is a hoax, PB is gonna beat me.

   I agree he deserves it but there is no way the voters will give it to him over Berry I’m afraid.

   We should also fire Vasherized for listening to Bruce Hornsby and The Range.

   Sweep it all up, things related and not.

    Can someone please explain to me how it is that Earl Thomas doesn’t declare early? He fits the Curtis Lofton mold to a “T”: elite player among the best at his position whose only weakness (size) can’t be improved by another year in college and for whom another year is only an injury risk. Not to mention the serious pay cut he’ll take thanks to the pending rookie salary cap.

    Bob Stoops told him he was a 5th rounder.

    i think thomas would be a great nickleback in the nfl, I think teams are still worried about him being able to take out nfl rbs up the middle

    @HenryJames:

    Are you trying to make an argument for me that UT players, not A&M players or OU players, are the dumbest bunch of mouthbreathing motherfuckers in the conference?

    Nate,

    I’m not an NFL draft expert, but I don’t think there have been many examples of safeties turning pro after their sophomore season. Plus, Curtis Lofton is listed as 6’0″ 240 lbs on nfl.com, whereas Earl Thomas is listed as 5’10″ 197 on the Longhorn site which is notorious for inflating measurements.

    I’ll wish him well whenever he decides is the right time for him, but I wouldn’t expect an undersized sophomore safety to turn pro, whether from Texas, OU or elsewhere, at least not unless the player had some different reason (e.g. urgent need for money, couldn’t handle the schoolwork, off-field problems, etc.).

    Jordan Shipley is now a Finalist for the Biletnikoff Award, along with Golden Taint from ND and Freddie Barnes from Bowling Green.

    Will Jordan go pro this year or come back for a tenth season?

    “Are you trying to make an argument for me that UT players, not A&M players or OU players, are the dumbest bunch of mouthbreathing motherfuckers in the conference?”

    Sam Bradford and his dumbass decision locked that up that argument for the Sooners for eternity. A&M players aren’t dumb because so few of them actually choose to go to A&M. Or maybe they do but the choice is Sam Houston St or A&M.

    Nate, you should listen to the Ags. He’ll stay because Tom Hicks will sign him to a minor league contract. They have it figured out.

    Sailor Ripley, you are FIRED!

    Now, Earl Thomas, come sit in my lap. You are the cutest little black man I have seen since that Emmanuel Lewis and I were doing blow out of each other’s navel’s. Earl, uhh Earl, don’t . . . don’t do it Earl. NOOO! NOT THE HAIR!!!
