@HeeeresMookie@AriWasserman You're missing my point. They all participated in a draft. Tebow was someones first pick. He wasn't around for Ari to pick Braxton over him. You're arguing against something that didn't happen
@JayUncut@AlexBurnsHoops Thank you. This is a preposterous question because we have the benefit of hindsight to know what 23 yo Bron did, and it was unthinkable. OF COURSE he's going 1
@SamQuinnCBS@WYacker Other piece to this. Lowry is a born and raised Philly dude and was a dawg at Villanova. He probably could also head home, be respected but not hated or hounded
@Zonabuck1@RyanDay2China we also lost at Happy Valley that year to a Penn State team whose only loss all year was at the buzzer on the road at Michigan. I think we'd still have been outside the top 2.
@jbrown09211@JohnMassingale4 Ehhh. Not sure that it would've been easy but I would've expected a win. There were a lot of close calls against bad teams that year
@jbrown09211@JohnMassingale4 THEN and no I don't have a detailed recollection of how pollsters and computers wouldve ranked a one loss defending champ vs a team that only played one 10 win team. Would've been great to play ND bc I think OSU would've had a great chance at another natty.
@JohnMassingale4@jbrown09211 I don't know that that OSU team (considering how the season went) makes it in above a one-loss Bama who were defending champs
@RestrictedDaily When I was 10, I signed up for something (I don't remember what) that promised a free WWF t-shirt. The rage that flowed through me when it showed up and had the panda on the front....
@_SilverThunder@NickyPerkss The 80s are literally the only "down" decade they had and it was more or less 9-3 every year and a couple where they had a shot at a title.
