The Traitor's Draft, In Brief

The niche vogue this week - initiated by Peter and quickly appropriated by dignitaries Orson and Brian and many other talented, well-dressed trendsetters of our humble corner of the 'sphere - is the "Traitor's Draft" of must-have players from the opposition. My addition, from Southern Miss' 2007 schedule:

1. Jarrett Dillard, Rice: USM hasn't had anything approximating a unique receiving talent in a decade, and this is a guy who goes to his coach before the decisive play and says, "Let's throw the fade. I want the ball. I'm going to catch it, I'm going to score, we're going to win," and delivers. Although I'd really hate to take this guy away from his biggest fans at the enthusiastic Rice Football Webletter.

2. Ian Johnson, Boise State: I love the hell out of Damion Fletcher, but his fellow undersized, ethnically vague counterpart brings a greater flare for the dramatic. Also - speed:

3. Tennessee's Entire Roster


Cutcliffe can come, too. I'm not picky.

That is all.

The Rice Webletter . .
has the unique ability to make you feel good about the Owls even after they get slaughtered by the likes of Texas and Florida State.  These are actual quotes from the site this past season:

"But to its credit, the Rice defense didn't quit. The Texas offense was mostly silent in the third quarter, except for a 38-yard scoring pass, Colt McCoy to Jordan Shipley that made it 45-0 midway in the stanza."

"The Owls thus were facing a goose-egg as the clock ticked down, moving 83 yards in seven plays - now, get this: all of them passes. This was a time in the game when Owl fans could take just a bit of solace, for at that point, Joel Armstrong, though tired and dinged-on, threw crisply seven straight times to his wideouts."

"Florida State had to kick and bite for its two additional scores of the first half . . "

Rice Football--Feel the Optimism!!!

I love the RFW
He was eventually right about Dillard as all-American in October, which I thought when that was written was ridiculous. He made sure I knew about it, too.

RFW
Don't get me wrong, I love the Webletter myself.  It's the only "publication" out there that has an unabashedly pro-Rice stance to it.  A nice oasis in a sea of Longhorn and Aggie supporters/defenders.

UTEP's Quintin Demps
How about UTEP Free Safety Quintin Demps? He'd be great next to Brandon Sumrall patrolling the secondary.
