It ain't easy, bein' cheesy.
I also heard that Utah's QB, Smith is going pro.
If I were a good jr. QB, I'd go pro in a heartbeat this year (Leinart?). There are a bunch of NFL teams that need good QB's to develop for the next year or so. I'd think that this should be a good year for QB's in the draft.

I havent' heard anything... but you can mark Leinart on the list... the 49ers have all but said... and they might have actually said... they will take him 1st overall if he comes out.

Has anyone heard Petey is sniffing around the Niners job. I had heard this before and today it was reported on a "reliable web site". ( if one exists) here is the exerpt:

PETE POLITICKING FOR NINERS GIG
Even before his Trojans pulverized the Sooners in the NCAA championship game on Tuesday night, USC coach Pete Carroll was working behind the scenes to move up the coast to San Francisco, as the new coach of the 49ers.
According to a league source, Carroll is posturing to succeed Dennis Erickson in San Fran, who like Carroll has been to the top of the college game . . . and has been a two-time failure in the NFL.
(Okay, so Erickson hasn't been fired yet. We're hearing that his exit -- and the termination of G.M. Terry Donahue -- is a sure thing, and will happen very soon.)
Carroll could fare better than Erickson, in our view (and, of course, it would be hard to do worse). Shortly after the foaming-mouthed pursuit of Nick Saban commenced in Miami, we questioned why owner Wayne Huizenga was so willing to back the truckload of money up to the front door of the LSU coach at a time when the USC coach -- who unlike Saban has experience as an NFL coach in the free agency era -- isn't getting a sniff despite one of the best two-year runs in the history of college football.
We've made our feelings clear about recycled NFL head coaches. But our objection to the notion of hiring guys who've been fired by another NFL owner relates primarily to the phenomenon of former pro coaches being on the short list for a new top job within a year or two after getting canned. In Carroll's case, he's done something very significant at the college level. If/when he re-enters an NFL locker room, he will have a greater level of respect.
Still, there are folks around the NFL who question whether Carroll can get it done. If he makes it to San Fran, he'll likely bring along his good buddy Pat Kirwan (who was spotted on the sidelines with Carroll during Tuesday night's game). Carroll is a former personnel exec who'd have a better chance getting a cabinet position in the Bush administration than another NFL gig -- but for the fact that his pal Pete might be in position to get Pat hired.
A year ago, it was revealed that Kirwan, a supposedly objective NFL analyst for the league's official web site, was getting a piece of David Dunn's fee for the representation of former USC quarterback Carson Palmer, whom Kirwan helped recruit for Dunn via Kirwan's relationship with Carroll. Amazingly, Kirwan barely drew a slap on the wrist for allowing his integrity as a quasi-NFL journalist to be so grossly compromised.
We're also hearing that Carroll tried on several occasions to get Kirwan into the Patriots front office when Pete was the head coach there -- and that Bobby Grier consistently blocked Carroll from doing so.
So, even as we listen to ESPN's Kirk Herbstreit proclaim that Carroll won't be leaving Southern Cal, the wheels already are in motion for Carroll's long-anticipated return to the NFL.
And it looks like Kirwan will be tagging along.
Stay tuned.

Anyone heard anything about Shazor?
I think his stock will definitely go down if he sticks around next year. Drew Tate is gonna be lethal, and Purdue MSU don't look like slouches either. And obviously there's no need to remind everyone what the tOSU WR corps will do to that depleted secondary. Gosh, can you imagine once 5'8" Brandon Harrison breaks into the nickel formation?
It was more the fault of the line and lb's that Young did so well.
With the big fumbles and turnovers Shazor caused early on against weak opponents, I would think he'd be a first rounder with his size.
Keep in mind that I hate Shazor and don't think he should have been AA. I think Jackson should have been at least second team if not first, but Shazor did not belong on there. That was due to popularity and hype rather than skill.
