Added weight not an issue for Cooper
The knock against Graig Cooper last year was his inability to shake off tacklers. Several times he went down on the first hit. There was no power in his runs. Many, including Cooper and the UM coaches, felt it was because of weight. Cooper played at between 180-185 pounds as a freshman, but has...

Pins and Needles
“Pins and Needles”, the title to rock musician Chris Caffery’s latest CD, was inspired by the feeling of being numb. "You take a lot of shots emotionally in life. Eventually you just kind of become numb to certain things,” he told me. Canes fans can relate as that was the feeling we would g...
SOUP,
Here is the answer to your question:
Dennis Erickson - 9-2 (loss to only ranked opponents)
Nick Saban - 6-6 ($4 million / yr)
Tom O'brien - 5-7
Butch Davis - 4-8
Steve Spurrier - 6-6 (4th or 5th yr)
Charlie Weiss - 3-9 (3rd yr)
All of them have better QB's than us other than ND. Allow our coach to put his QB in the system, and the play will dramatically change. We are not only bringing in one of the best classes in the country, but they mostly consist of local players! Unlike the previous coach. Let's give this staff the time to take on such a challenge (to say the least) that was left behind.

Don't you little narrow minded fa*% see how important it is to have a QB that Oregon has lost it's last 2 games to unranked opponents without Dennis!!! They just lost UCLA, who lost to ND. What do you expect our coaches to do? Put in the back up? Their hands our tied. We can't even rotate our LB's or DL's, due to lack of personnel. Give the coaches the time to lay the foundation, because that's where we're starting from without a QB. Stop trying to over evaluate the coaching ability so much, and evaluate yourselves as fans. Are you true fans, or just fairweather bi%*hes. BTW, I guess $4 million / yr gets you 1 more victory.

Former Cowboys Star Surprises Cancer Patient
Ashley Rodrigue
March 15, 2007 - 5:50PM
Doctors say he only has weeks to live but today a 27-year-old DeRidder, Louisiana man made the most of one of his last days with former Dallas Cowboys star Michael Irvin. Kevin Crayon was diagnosed with cancer last year, but was in remission after his arm was amputated. This Christmas, the cancer returned and after given only weeks to live... his friends worked hard to make one his lifelong dreams come true.
"I never dreamed of this," said Kevin Crayon.
But the 27-year-old cancer patient couldn't have been more awake for this surprise visit from former Dallas Cowboys player Michael Irvin.
"Heavenly Father, we thank you for these moments."
The moments Irvin spent with the devout Cowboy fan were made possible by Crayon's friends, who wanted to make one of his biggest dreams come true.
Josh Foster said, "I honestly didn't believe that it would ever go this far, I just thought that it would be a good try, I never thought that I'd be standing here with Michael Irvin about to arrive."
The plan started with a call to an old teacher with ties to the Cowboys.
Veronica Karam said, "Josh called me Sunday and asked if I still had contacts there, well he had contacts but they were older, but he told me he would work on something and try to get something going."
By Thursday afternoon, Irvin's plane was touching down in DeRidder, Louisiana and Crayon had no idea.
Irvin said, "There's nothing more important than time because of the lack of the time that he has so that really is an honor for me to be asked to spend a few moments with him."
"I brought a jersey for you... oh man!"
Donald Crayon said, "It's heartwarming to see it come true, we never dreamed it could ever happen so I know it's one for the greatest things, one of the best events of his life."
Foster said, "He's a really great guy and he deserves this more than anything."
Crayon says if god allows him, he plans to make the first season of the Cowboys' 2007 season.
