In the meantime, we need something on this board to lift our spirits. So how about a weekly poll/tournament/feature/whatever? Ideas: 1. "All-time favorite Bobcat team". We go position by position, nominate our favorite (not necessarily who we think is the best, but our favorite) players. 2. "Greatest performance in program history tournament". We go back, oh, 50 years or so, nominate individual performances, and vote tournament-style until only one is left. 3. "Best bar in the history of Athens tournament". Not football related, but whatever. Nominate your favorite bar. Doesn't matter when it was open, just that it was awesome. We vote tournament-style. 4. "Greatest football movie ever tournament". Someone had this idea in a thread a while back. I liked it. Thoughts (other than, "Shut up, C Money, the offseason is when I spend time with my family and pay attention to my job.")?

Maybe we could construct an All-time All OHIO team. My first few picks, WR: Todd Snyder (split end), and LaVon Brazill; QB: Cleve Bryant; FB: Bob Houmard; DB: Tom Widdoes, Noah Keller. That's just a few off the top of my head. These are just some of my favorites. They may or may not be the best ever at their positions. Now, how about other folks' favorites.

Defense: Patrick Tafua: Dude could hit. And hung out in the Ozone for basketball games. Offense: Kareem Wilson and Kalvin McRae. Wilson was crazy fun to watch in Grobe's offense. And McRae just got you tough yards over and over. Can somebody hit a pull up jumper for me?.....

That's 15 minutes I could have spent with my wife and young son! That said, I was also thinking about corners and if I had to pick two corners from the modern era who I would pick. Some names... Bop White Donnie White Tevell Jones Mark Stubbs Dion Byrum TJ Wright Mark Parson Jooney Posey Travis Carrie Ian Wells Lots of great ones there! One thing I didn't realize is that Bop White picked off 17 passes. That is a lot! Boy...this is hard! Ok, I'll pick Byrum and Carrie. I sorta remember Tevell Jones being great, but I was just too young and that was ages ago. I was tempted to pick Wells, because he's been such a lock-down corner and he's got a mean streak.

Both were great players, and great leaders.
