Around SBN: Welcome To A Bizarre Afternoon With Donald Driver

12/12 Daily Bears Report: Let's. Have. A Real Good. Time. Let's have a real good time.

We're starting another work week here at ODB and unlike the last, we won't have endless Heisman speculation to use as story fodder. Dang it. We're going to have to actually get creative. Or something. Maybe I'll post a few more pictures of things that I like because I can. Oh, I don't see YOU throwing up incredible fanposts!*

*If you want to, though, have at it.

Anyway, the links today are going to be quite short, as I assume everyone is pretty Heisman'd out at this point.

Pro Combat, eh?

Pro Combat did the TCU Rose Bowl helmets, I believe.

Seriously might be my favorite helmet design ever.

Ugh. Redskins would be the absolute worst case scenario.

Awful. Though Cleveland would be almost as bad.

Woah.

Did you see that mock had Kendall Wright at 25 to the Broncos and referenced him being used in the same mold as Percy Harvin???

I didn't look past 6.

Too painful.

I'm thinking that Blackmon will likely be gone

and Carolina will be in an excellent spot to sell that pick. It would be shocking if none of Barkley, RGIII or Landry Jones came out and everybody knows that the Redskins are going to want a QB.

Seriously, though, Cleveland might be worse. At least Washington has the framework at hand for RGIII to be a successful NFL QB in order to build his publicity for his eventual Presidential run.

That Pryor vs RGIII piece is fascinating.
Griffin progressed every year, improved as a passer, flourished in an offensive system that was more wide-open than anything Pryor every played in, and gave himself the chance to be great.

Mark and I talked at the beginning of the year what we would like to see from RGIII development-wise this year, and he met all of those things. It’s interesting to me how much he has improved each season.

I remember Stewart Mandel writing a couple years ago that RGIII was the fastest QB in the country and then having to deal with Ohio State fans who were pissed off that anybody could dis their QB like that. Mandel had to point out that RGIII was an actual track champion at such a young age, but I have a feeling that he still got hate mail.

NICE!

That is not what you linked last night, but much better.

I’ve been hoping like crazy that they would give us some version of Sparty’s Pro Combat unis.

I would break into the Baylor athletic complex and steal one of these helmets.

And then keep it forever.

I have been told that this is just a mockup done by a fan of what they would want our helmet to look like.

Not necessarily a design under consideration.

That sucks.

Dang.

Seriously, though, this isn’t hard. Just take Sparty’s ProCombat, remove Spartan, add BU in same color.

UT doing UTings in recruiting.

Taking their recruits to the studio of the LHN.

Do they give them gift bags of money

or just let them grab as much as they can from the trashbags of money out back? Seems like the linemen would have an unfair advantage…then again, UT probably should be giving them an advantage given their recent OL play.

Please note

that this was a joke and not intended to actually suggest that UT is paying it’s players.

I don't think it is.

It just helps further the notion that UT/LHN is trying to create an unfair playing field.

There are rules regarding what type of things you're allowed to do on official visits

Like giving personalized jerseys, photoshopping recruits into multimedia in your uniforms, things like that. I would be willing to bet anything that the LHN doesn’t just let these kids walk around without showing them a few things.

my question is

is it an “extra benefit” those recruits get?

to me, and my very limited understanding of the rules, that is what the violation would hinge on, right?

personalized jerseys, recruits into multimedia, etc are not going to be open to all students i would think

that said, if it isnt an “extra benefit” — is it illegal?

do recruits to UCONN visit ESPN?

Considering ESPN is in Bristol and UConn is in Storrs, I doubt it.

ESPN's new MBB poll is out.

Baylor is 7 again, Mizzou climbs from 10 to 8 and Kansas goes from 13 to 12.

Mizzou is pretty interesting; they are somewhat unexpectedly having a very good year and helping the Big12 look good in what should be something of a down year. They have beaten Notre Dame, #18 Cal and Villanova. Not bad.

The only other ranked Big12 team is #22 A&M, who goes to #13 Florida this week.
