Second attempt at predicting the 2011 NFL Drafts 1st round. Quite a few tweaks from Version 1.0. If you haven't seen or want to revisit my Version 1, click here
Without further ado, Carolina, you are on the clock...again.
With the 1st overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the Carolina Panthers select...
Marcel Dareus, Defensive Tackle, Alabama
I stick with my stance that I believe Ron Rivera will listen to his defensive side of the brain and take Dareus. Marcel Dareus has outstanding athleticism for a big man, with very quick feet and a great burst off the line. Although Cam Newton may bring a new sense of hope to the Carolina faithful, I am still unsold on his ability to live up to a #1 pick billing. Dareus has an incredible skill set and Rivera and his brilliant defensive mind could utilise him to do wonders along all four positions of the Defensive Line, and he will go a long way to improving the 23rd ranked run defense of 2010.
Previous Pick: Marcel Dareus
With the 2nd pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the Denver Broncos select...
Nick Fairley, Defensive Tackle, Auburn
Nick Fairley is rising again in my opinion, and is the 2nd best Defensive Tackle in this years draft. I expect to love Fairley's disruptiveness up the middle of the line, something the Broncos will love to have in the new 4-3 front they are reverting back to. Fairley is a big bodied man who plays with great burst and intensity. Success on defense starts from the inside, and no one knows this more than John Fox, who drafted some very solid defensive lineman over the years. Fairley could be great within a few years if he puts his mind and body to work, and should instantly improve the leagues 31st ranked run defense in the run heavy AFC West.
Previous Pick: Da'Quan Bowers
With the 3rd pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the Buffalo Bills select...
Von Miller, LineBacker, Texas A&M
I am not sold on the "Chan Gailey covets Cam Newton" ideology that is going around in places. Drafting Cam Newton is not going to instantly improve the 32nd ranked run defense. The Bills were 3rd in pass defense in 2010, but why pass when you can gain nearly 200 yards on the ground? With the top 2 defensive tackle options off the board, the Bills will go to a do-it-all linebacker who could be an instant star in the Bills 3-4 set. Von Miller is explosive and determined, and will instantly upgrade the Bills near non-existant pass rush and improve their run defense. I would love to have paired Kyle Williams with one of the top 2 DT prospects, but the next best thing is Miller.
Previous Pick: Von Miller
With the 4th pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the Cincinnati Bengals select...
Da'Quan Bowers, Defensive End, Clemson
Da'Quan Bowers stock seems to have dropped a little since initial mocks came out, yet I expect the Cincinnati Bengals to ignore that and take a real talent at #4. They could take a long look at Peterson, although I expect Jonathan Joseph to ultimately resign. I am also expecting Mike Brown to push the defensive issue and ignore Carson Palmer threatening retirement on the outside. Bowers is explosive and versatile, and I expect the Bengals to believe their Wide Receiving core is just fine. Bowers will be a great pairing with Dunlap, and provide Marvin Lewis with hope he can finally install that defensive intensity that he has been desperately trying to achieve in Cincinnati.
Previous Pick: Robert Quinn
With the 5th pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the Arizona Cardinals select...
Patrick Peterson, Cornerback, Louisiana State
The best player the 2011 draft has to offer (in my opinion) drops to the Arizona Cardinals and Coach Whisenhunt promptly picks him up. I still believe if Von Miller drops to this spot that he will indeed be the pick, but in this mock he doesn't. Peterson is probably the best cornerback prospect to enter the league since Charles Woodson. He shows great play recognition, has excellent change of direction and has outstanding ball skills. Basically he is everything you want in a cornerback, and as the league progresses further towards a pass dominant game, he is worth a premium.
Previous Pick: Patrick Peterson
With the 6th pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the Cleveland Browns select...
AJ Green, Wide Receiver, Georgia
Holmgren and Shurmur are going to give Colt McCoy a real chance to take this offense by the horns and improve. The best way to help his progression in the league? You give him some weapons, and AJ Green is one hell of a weapon to have. Green is big and fast and is outstanding after the catch, something critical in the West Coast offense that the Browns will be running. In drafting Green, you get an elite weapon on the outside who McCoy can grow with, and it will also help the progression of Massaquoi to develop on the other side with less attention his way.
Previous Pick: AJ Green
With the 7th pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the San Francisco 49ers select...
Prince Amukamara, Cornerback, Nebraska
In any other year, the Prince would be the most coveted cornerback prospect. As with Peterson, Prince still has all the intangibles of an outstanding cornerback prospect, he is big, fast, plays physical and is great in coverage. He also is not shy about moving forward and playing a little run defense. He can make plays on the ball, and recover quickly if he makes mistakes. He will be a star in this league and will bolster the 49ers pass defense on the other side from Nate Clements.
Previous Pick: Prince Amukamara
With the 8th pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the Tennessee Titans select...
Robert Quinn, Defensive End, North Carolina
The Tennessee Titans could get the steal of the draft here. Robert Quinn didnt play a down in 2010, but review the previous season and you will see a relentless force at the defensive end position who is mean and nasty and plays this game in the same style as Ndamukong Suh, that he is going to hit you hard, and often. He could be the steal of the draft if he plays up to his potential, and I value him as the premier pass rusher of this draft class. Even with a year out of football, he put up outstanding numbers at the Combine, which should put to rest any concerns over work ethic. He will fill the DE void from day one.
Previous Pick: Nick Fairley
With the 9th pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys select...
Tyron Smith, Offensive Tackle, Southern California
This could well be the year that Jerry Jones goes against his usual tendencies and drafts an Offensive Tackle with his 1st round pick. Smith has great measureables, and is good in pass protection, which will help ensure the 'Boys keep 4000 yard man Tony Romo on his feet. He needs a bit of polishing in terms of assignments and isnt a terribly effective force in the run game, but he has a high ceiling and should develop into a top tier tackle. He also recently had an outstanding Pro Day with none other than Jason Garrett present.
Previous Pick: Tyron Smith
With the 10th pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the Washington Redskins select...
Blaine Gabbert, Quarterback, Missouri
Look through Mike Shanahan's most recent quarterback projects and starters, and there is a common pattern. Big armed, mobile quarterbacks who aren't afraid to take off and run. John Elway, Jake Plummer and Jay Cutler all fit this description, and Gabbert will be the next when he lands at number 10 to the Redskins. In Washington, Gabbert will have time to develop behind Donovan McNabb, learning the position from under center and going through multiple progressions. He has the tools to be a solid quarterback in this league in a few years, as for elite though, I am not convinced.
Previous Pick: Blaine Gabbert
With the 11th pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the Houston Texans select...
Julio Jones, Wide Receiver, Alabama
I am higher on the Jones radar than I am AJ Green. I like Jones as the more physical receiver and the more NFL ready prospect in the early first round. As for the positioning, I think that Kubiak will have other defensive prospects in the second high on his board too, giving him the luxury of making this pick to finally give Schaub and Andre Johnson some much needed help in the passing game. Too long has it been a one pony show in Houston and Kubiak knows this. The Texans offense could be very scary with a 1-2 pairing like Johnson and Jones.
Previous Pick: Julio Jones
With the 12th puck in the 2011 NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings select...
Cam Newton, Quarterback, Auburn
Tarvaris Jackson is a known commodity and I dont think that Joe Webb did enough to win over the Vikings coaching staff late last season to warrant not drafting a quarterback if one were to be available. Cam Newton slides to #12 in this draft, and the Vikings take a chance on him. It needs not be said the kind of potential that Newton possesses, not to mention his star factor. The best thing about this fit, is that the Vikings offense is pretty solid in terms of weapons. He will have Adrian Peterson in his backfield, a healthy Rice as a number 1 receiver, as well as Percy Harvin. All the pieces are there for Newton to succeed in Minnesota.
Previous Pick: Anthony Castonzo
With the 13th pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the Detroit Lions select...
Aldon Smith, Defensive End, Missouri
I had to stick here with the idea of Schwartz, being a defensive line guy, will take a defensive lineman. Last year he took Ndamokung Suh, and this year he will take someone on the outside of Suh to take advantage of the attention Suh receives. The guy I like here for Detroit is Aldon Smith. Smith is very quick off the edge, moves well laterally which helps a lot in the run game, and has excellent size that compliments his speed. With a bit of strength training and coaching, he could be a force in the pass rush game next to Suh. I think the Lions could go OT or CB here and still be happy.
Previous Pick: Aldon Smith
With the 14th pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the St Louis Rams select...
Corey Liuget, Defensive Tackle, Illinois
Steve Spagnuolo's Superbowl winning defense boasted one of the best defensive line rotations in Superbowl history, and the Giants line overpowered the Patriots offensive line all game, leading to one of the greatest upsets in Superbowl history. Spag's will draft to try and duplicate the success in New York by taking the big bodied, run stuffing presence of Corey Liuget. Liuget has a great motor for a big man, and is an underrated pass rusher, and will slot nicely into the Rams defensive line rotations and could be a force in a few years under Spag's guidance.
Previous Pick: Corey Liuget
With the 15th pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins select...
Gabe Carimi, Offensive Tackle, Wisconsin
I still have Carimi going to the Dolphins in mock 2.0. I just don't think that running backs are worth top 20 picks these days when you see so much success coming from 2nd round (and 2nd day) picks. I think Sparano will look past the running back position and instead the position that dictates a running back's success. The line. Carimi has a nasty streak and plays the game physically, the way Sparano loves in his players. Inserting him to RT from day one allows Carey to move inside to Guard and give the Dolphins one hell of a line to pave the way for whoever lines up in the backfield for Miami.
Previous Pick: Gabe Carimi
With the 16th pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars select...
Cameron Jordan, Defensive End, California
Cameron Jordan has an outstanding skill set and will likely start from day one at LDE for the Jags. Jack Del Rio has missed in past years with Defensive Ends, and because of that, he is forced to draft another one. Last year Tyson Alualu came out of nowhere to be the Jags pick, but it ended up being a pretty solid one. To continue to help the defensive line improve, Jordan brings his great variety of pass rushing moves as well as his big body to help shore up Jacksonvilles pass rush and run defense woes.
Previous Pick: Jimmy Smith
With the 17th pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the New England Patriots select...
Anthony Castonzo, Offensive Tackle, Boston
The New England Patriots take the local standout Anthony Castonzo to shore up their offensive line and in doing so, help prevent Tom Brady from any further serious injuries in the near future. Castonzo was a four year starter for a very solid Boston offensive line, who has quick feet and good lateral mobility against the pass rush heavy AFC East division, not to mention is a very smart player and understands the game. A little bit of strength training and Castonzo could be a very solid starter for a long time in the blue and silver.
Previous Pick: Mike Pouncey
With the 18th pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the San Diego Chargers select...
J.J Watt, Defensive End, Wisconsin
J.J Watt is everything a 3-4 coach would want at the defensive end position. Watt is one of my favorite players in the draft, he is smart, hard working and has outstanding technique, critical for use as a 3-4 defensive end. The Chargers have done a solid job stop-gapping the void left by Igor Olshansky, but now they can insert their defensive end of the next 10 years. I like to compare him to the Steelers own Aaron Smith, which should say enough about how highly I rate this guy. The Chargers could opt to go for and outside pass rusher, but I think Watt has the better value here at #18
Previous Pick: Cameron Jordan
With the 19th pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the New York Giants select...
Mike Pouncey, Offensive Guard, Florida
Mike Pouncey has everything that Tom Coughlin looks for in an offensive lineman. He is strong, has good measureables, a high football I.Q and most importantly, he is very versatile. More suited to guard than center unlike his brother Maurkice, Pouncey can slot into either Guard position and be an instant upgrade to the Giants offensive line. He possesses the high character that his brother does, and he is a hard worker who will do everything he can for the Giants. He is the best interior lineman in this draft, and the Giants will be happy to snatch him up.
Previous Pick: Nate Solder
With the 20th pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers select...
Ryan Kerrigan, Defensive End, Purdue
Ryan Kerrigan has an outstanding motor, the guy may as well be the definition of relentless. The Tampa Bay defensive is young and solid, but what it is lacking is a true pass rusher on the edges. Enter Ryan Kerrigan, an incredibly smart pass rusher who has a variety of potent moves as well as the ability to play with outstanding leverage for a guy who stands 6'4''. Not only is he a great pass rusher, but he also has a potent strip sack, something that Raheem Morris will covet. Never takes a second off.
Previous Pick: Ryan Kerrigan
With the 21st pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs select...
Phil Taylor, Nose Tackle, Baylor
Nose Tackles are hard to find, and great ones are even rarer. Phil Taylor is the top Nose Tackle talent in this years draft by far and prospects of his caliber just do not come along everyday. He is great value here at 21 for the Kansas City Chiefs who will look to find their anchor of their 3-4 defense which performed pretty well last season. Taylor is a load who plays faster than his weight suggests, and he has quicker than advertised feet. Has tendencies to play high on occasions, but that is easily fixed. Should be a starter from day one.
Previous Pick: Phil Taylor
With the 22nd pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the Indianapolis Colts select...
Derrick Sherrod, Offensive Tackle, Mississippi State
I've warmed up to Sherrod a bit more since the last time I did my mock, and even with Solder still on the board, I think the Indianapolis Colts will take Sherrod. Sherrod projects to be a true Left Tackle down the line, which is where his value lies in keeping the soon-to-be $100 million dollar man's jersey clean all day. Sherrod has great size and quickness but needs to learn to use his hands and feet better to be a truly effective tackle. The most attractive thing about Sherrod to the Colts is that he excels at pass blocking.
Previous Pick: Derrick Sherrod
With the 23rd pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles select...
Jimmy Smith, Cornerback, Colorado
In the pass heavy NFC East, cornerbacks are premium. Asante Samuel is still playing at a reasonably high level for the Iggles, but with Ellis Hobbs retiring due to injury, they have a sudden serious need for a #2 cornerback. Jimmy Smith has all the measureables to be a great NFL corner and even a #1 corner down the line. He has red flags raised surrounding his run ins with the law, but if he can mature as a player and a man under Andy Reid, he can be a great contributor early on in his career.
Previous Pick: Brandon Harris
With the 24th pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the New Orleans Saints select...
Mark Ingram, Running Back, Alabama
The Saints are still a very complete team, although you could argue that they need a little help on the Defensive line, however when running back Mark Ingram falls into their laps at 24th, they decide to give themselves a true #1 Running back that they haven't had since Deuce McAlister. Ingram is a polished runner who can do it all, and is a rare 3 down runner who is adept at finding lanes, fighting for the extra yardage, and is more than capable of catching passes out of the backfield. The "dime a dozen" attitude towards running backs hurts his stock, and other teams loss is now New Orleans gain.
Previous Pick: Mark Ingram
With the 25th pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the Seattle Seahawks select...
To trade down into the early second. Hell, at least thats what I think they should do if they decide they want to pick a Quarterback with their first draft pick. No one here fits the bill and I think they would be making a mistake reaching for Mallet, Locker or Ponder at #25. Because I choose not to mock trades, the pick I choose for them is:
Nate Solder, Offensive Tackle, Colorado
The next best thing to the Seahawks getting a Quarterback is getting a guy who might buy an extra half second of time for the Hawks current Quarterbacks. Solder is a guy I think most are either really high on or really low on, I haven't seen many with a "if we picked him I wouldnt complain" attitude. Its either a "I love it" or "I hate it" stance. Anyways, I quite like Solder's potential, hes a tall man, but plays with a lot lower center of gravity than you would expect from a guy 6'8''. He's a good pass blocker and has the measureables to excel at the LT position for years to come.
Previous Pick: Cam Newton
With the 26th pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the Baltimore Ravens select...
Justin Houston, Outside Linebacker, Georgia
The more I look at Houston, the more I am unsure about where he would land. He didn't make it into the first round in my first mock draft, but I now have his stock rising. Now I am no expect on Baltimore, but the more I look at Houston, the more my mind tells me to slot him in here at 26 to the Ravens. A problem the Ravens had last season was pass rush. No, I dont mean pass rush as in number of sacks etc, but where the rush was coming from. Suggs. Suggs. Suggs. He is the only true pass rusher on that Ravens defense. The more I look at Houston, the more I see an excellent pairing to Suggs. The Ravens defensive potency would be ridiculous with Houston on the opposing side from Suggs. Hence, they take him here.
Previous Pick: JJ Watt
With the 27th pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the Atlanta Falcons select...
Torrey Smith, Wide Receiver, Maryland
The Falcons learnt last season that their offense was not as potent as it looked like on paper. The defense kept them in front of opponents for much of last season, but when times got hard (e.g Packers playoff game) they just did not the offensive firepower to sustain prowess in shootouts. Roddy White is about as solid as you can get for a #1 receiver, but behind him, the job just isnt getting done. Torrey Smith will go a long way to changing that. He's an excellent fit as a #2 receiver, he is speedy, doesn't mind getting involved in run blocking, and is a hard worker. Mike Smith and Matt Ryan will love working with him.
Previous Pick: Torrey Smith
With the 28th pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the New England Patriots select...
Cameron Heyward, Defensive End, Ohio State
After bolstering their offensive line with their first Round 1 pick, the Patriots turn their attention to the other line. Cam Heyward is a prototypical fit for the 3-4 end position for the Patriots, as he has great strength and handwork at the point of attack, not to mention is a big bodied player who will hold up blockers and open up holes in the opposing offensive lines to take a bit of the heat off New Englands young linebacking corps. He has a little more polishing to do before he is a great starter, but Belicheck will get everything he can out of this impressive young man.
Previous Pick: Cameron Heyward
With the 29th pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears select...
Muhammad Wilkerson, Defensive Tackle, Temple
Wilkerson is a guy who is being linked to many teams and appears to be racing up draft boards. His versatility to play each position along the defensive line is definitely what is impressing people around the league. The Bears would have been hoping that one of the tackles or Pouncey drops to 29, but when none of them do, they will turn to the other side of the ball and look to replace Tommie Harris. Wilkerson is strong and penetrating as a defensive lineman, underrated in pass defense and has an excellent motor.
Previous Pick: Stephen Paea
With the 30th pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the New York Jets select...
Akeem Ayers, Outside Linebacker, UCLA
The Jets demand more pass pressure and with Akeem Ayers they shall get it. I know that last time Jets fans weren't terribly happy when I mocked them Ayers, but I still think he could be the pick here late in the 1st. Ayers has ridiculous upside, he is a tremendous athlete and has the ability to be a disruptive force from the outside in the Jets 3-4. He is however, in need of polishing as a linebacker in general, but Rex Ryan I am sure will get everything he can out of Ayers. With who is still available, this is probably the hardest damn pick to make this time around.
Previous Pick: Akeem Ayers
With the 31st pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers select...
Martez Wilson, Inside Linebacker, Illinois
This is best player available in my opinion. If this is the way the draft is to pan out, then I personally think we should trade back to the 2nd and choose either a guard like Cannon/Ijalana or go the cornerback way with Dowling. I personally do not see the value in drafting Brandon Harris here as I view him as a #3 CB, which we draft too often. We need a CB who has #2 or even #1 potential, such as Dowling.
Anyways, by drafting Wilson, we get an athletic freak who has the ability for LeBeau to recreate the 5 LB rotation package that we had so much success with in 2008, as he is a freak athletically, and is capable of rushing the passer from each of the four linebacker slots. This is how I project we use him in the first year or so as we groom him to be the eventual replacement to Farrior in a year or two.
Previous Pick: Muhammad Wilkerson
With the 32nd pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the Green Bay Packers select...
Adrian Clayborn, Defensive End, Iowa
Adrian Clayborn is a top 25 talent who falls to the Packers and ends up being BPA at 32. I really wanted to give the Pack an outside linebacker, but Justin Houston rose to the Ravens in 2.0, so I go back to my original pick with Clayborn. Clayborn has the size and strength to develop into a solid 3-4 end in Dom Capers defense, and will have the time to learn and refine his game. Clayborn never gives up, and will chase down plays from behind. He just doesn't know any other way. He is a solid player and will find a home on the Green Bay Defensive Line in the next few years.
Previous Pick: Adrian Clayborn

Four new legislative bills could change the landscape on how government assistance is distributed, fraud claims are prosecuted and what funds are allowed for in Alabama.
Senate Bill 63 is prefiled in Montgomery. This bill would require anyone trying to sign up for government assistant that has a felony drug conviction to take a drug test. State Senator Arthur Orr is a co-sponsor of the legislation. Orr said the bill is different from legislation in Florida that a Federal judge recently tossed out that required everyone seeking government assistant to take a drug test. Orr said the Alabama legislation is constitutional because it limits drug tests to only those with felony drug convictions.
"If they're spending their money on drugs, certainly they have enough money to spend it on food and necessities of life," said Orr.
Orr is sponsoring three other pieces of legislation that would reform Welfare and other social programs. One bill would mandate that anyone trying to receive public assistance first seek out employment at at least three different workplaces. Another bill would further penalties for anyone caught illegally selling an EBT card. The third bill would restrict Temporary Assistant for Need y Families or TANF funds from being used to purchase alcohol, tobacco or tattoos. Orr said the bill would also limit where TANF funds can be withdrawn from.
"The bill would outlaw ATMs that would accept EBT cards in places like bars, strip clubs, and casinos to prevent individuals from having easy money all at the expense of the taxpayer," said Orr.

Fatal accident accident investigation almost complete
Goshen County Attorney Pat Korell says he should have more information early next week on whether charges will be filed in a fatal rollover near the Wyoming/ Nebraska state line January 9th that killed two Scottsbluff teenagers. Korell says two important interviews still need to be done and he expects to receive a final report from the Wyoming Highway Patrol on the accident Monday or Tuesday.
The accident killed two Scottsbluff women, 18 year old Alexis Wheeler and 19 year old Hallie Anderson, both students on the WNCC Scottsbluff campus. Four additional passengers were hospitalized, but the only one remaining at Regional West Medical Center is 19 year old Tyler Hill of Lyman. Hill is listed in stable condition. 22 year old Ethan Kaufman of Cheyenne, the driver of the vehicle, was the latest to be released from the hospital.
The initial investigation by the Wyoming Highway Patrol indicated excessive speed and alcohol may have been contributing factors in the accident. Korell says a final report on a blood alcohol test from Kaufman should be available Monday. He is also waiting for an interpretation of results from a module on the late model pickup that would give him additional information on speed and other factors.

GARLAND — The Hudson Middle School band was doing what bands do: Playing for fans in the stands and revving up the players, too.
But a referee on the field wanted quiet.
"He was shushing us," said 13-year-old trombone player Maegen Benavidez.
Band mom Jo Ann Brewer couldn't believe it. "Hudson had the ball, our band started to play... and that's when the ref threw the flag," she said.
The official reportedly told Hudson's band director that the middle school football team would keep being penalized if the band kept playing. He said they were just too loud.
So the band left before halftime.
"I go to a lot of older football games, and other middle school games," Brewer's daughter Gabi, "and nobody really ever gets kicked out of them, so I was shocked."
Brewer wondered if the official's decision sent the wrong message to her daughter. "I know a lot of parents will say football is more important than the band," she said, "but us band parents, we don't believe that."
After the band left the stadium, the official was ordered to leave, too.
Then, Garland ISD spokesman Chris Moore says, the district told the officiating organization to never assign that referee to any athletic events within the district.
"This was a first," Moore said. "The first time in the history of the district. First and last time it happens here."
Garland ISD does not have a policy regarding bands playing at football games. Moore said it appears the official was enforcing an NCAA policy that never should have never been... and never will be... enforced in the Garland ISD.
On Wednesday, the district's athletic director went to Hudson Middle School and apologized to the band.
The referee making the controversial call is with the Dallas Football Officials Association. A member of that organization said Wednesday night what happened should have never happened, but then they referred media questions to the Texas Association of Sports Officials.
When News 8 reached out to them, they responded with: "No comment."

Women's Lacrosse Returns to Action By Hosting San Diego State on Saturday
Related Links
The Jacksonville women's lacrosse team welcomes San Diego State to the First Coast on Saturday for a 12:00 pm contest. The Dolphins are coming off a 15-4 loss to No. 3 Florida on Wednesday.
The Florida contest marked the second top five opponent for JU in three games this season. The Dolphins currently own the ninth most challenging schedule in the nation according to the latest Laxpower.com strength of schedule rankings.
"San Diego State will be traveling to Jacksonville for the first time in program history, and we can't wait to welcome a west coast team to the east," said senior goalie Karli Tobin (Moorestown, N.J.).
"It will be a great experience for us to show our fast paced style of experienced play to a second year program. Just four years ago we were that new program and now we are the veterans!"
Saturday's contest marks the 2013 season opener for the Aztecs which made its program debut in 2012. A member of the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation, San Diego State was picked fifth out of nine teams in the league's preseason poll following a 5-10 campaign last spring.
"Knowing that San Diego State is a second year program and thinking of where we were during our second year at JU brings back great memories and allows us to see the strides we have made," said senior Rachel Hannon (Annapolis, Md.) "As with any game we play, the team is excited to host SDSU. We look forward to the game and playing our system."
Senior Amanda Hurley (Columbus, Ga.) recorded her second hat trick in as many games against Florida on Wednesday. Hurley scored three goals in the contest and leads the team with eight goals on nine shot attempts this season. Junior attacker Nikki Erdely (Cumming, Ga.) accounted for the other JU score against Florida.
"We had a few mistakes on Wednesday that are correctable, said JU Head Coach Mindy McCord. "Our goal against San Diego State is to continue to focus on our system and what we do well. When we do that we have a chance to be successful against any team."

From Nicholls State
THIBODAUX, La. – The Nicholls State University football team has rescheduled its game against Oregon State for Saturday, Dec. 1 at 1:30 p.m. CST.
The matchup was originally slated for Sept. 1, but was postponed due to unsafe travel conditions caused by Hurricane Isaac. It was the sixth Nicholls football game since 2004 to be wiped out because of a hurricane; however, it will mark the first time that the Colonels have been able to reschedule.
The game will be televised live on the Pac-12 Networks.
Nicholls and Oregon State reached an agreement to reschedule the game for Dec. 1 with the understanding that the contest will not be played should either Nicholls makes the FCS playoffs or OSU qualifies for the Pac-12 Football Championship Game. If either of those scenarios unfolds, the game will be canceled and the contract becomes null and void.
The Colonels are back in action on Saturday, Sept. 15, against Tulsa, their second-straight FBS opponent. Kickoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. and the game can be listened to live on the Colonel Sports Radio Network.

By Conor Walsh
---- — SALEM — As the Gloucester hockey team has proven all season, it doesn't always have to be pretty.
That's never been more accurate for the Fishermen than it was last night when they took on a strong Swampscott team at Salem State University's Rockett Arena.
The Big Blue carried play for much of the game, throwing waves of offense on the Gloucester net and keeping the Fishermen away from their own.
At the end of the day, though, Swampscott's dominance didn't much matter. Despite outshooting the Fishermen, 40-22, the Big Blue ultimately fell to Gloucester, which rode a Cam DeCoste hat trick and a 38-save performance from goalie Owen Parisi to an important 4-2 victory.
The win gets Gloucester back to .500 at 6-6-1. To qualify for the state tournament, the Fishermen will need to earn seven of 14 possible points down the stretch.
"I think we were outplayed for most of the night and we're lucky to win the game," Gloucester coach Don Lowe said after the game. "It was a good thing the goaltender stopped 40 shots or we wouldn't have won the game. Nice to see Cam DeCoste get a couple goals when we needed them. More points for the tournament. We play every game to get two points and we got another two points tonight."
While it may have been ugly, last night's was an impressive win for Gloucester. Swampscott entered the game tied atop the NEC South standings at 10-3, and Salem State's large ice surface gave the speedy Big Blue an edge before the game even began.
To make matters worse for Gloucester, an injury kept captain Mike Muniz — who plays monster minutes on the blue line — out of the game, forcing second-line center and leading scorer Alex Webb to the blue line.
But after trading blows through the first two periods, which were largely dominated by Swampscott, Gloucester leveled the ice in the third period and finally broke a 2-2 tie with fewer than six minutes to play when DeCoste completed his hat trick.
Like his first goal, DeCoste had parked himself in front of the Swampscott net and banged home a slick pass from defenseman Casey Eastman -- who was making his first varsity appearance.
"He's the new man on the roster. Secret weapon," Lowe said. "Made a great play. Some people were mad at me for putting him on the ice, but he did a good job."
Less than three minutes later, Casey Noyes picked a Swampscott defenseman's pocket and snuck a nifty wraparound past Big Blue goaltender Trent Gallagher (18 saves) to give the Fishermen a valuable insurance goal.
And as Swampscott pushed for the equalizer and pulled its goalie with nearly three minutes left to play, Gloucester and Parisi held strong to preserve the important win.
"This says a lot about us," DeCoste said. "We had to do it tonight. You pretty much have to get to the dirty areas in a game like this. Not going to get a free goal. Got to get down there deep to win a game like this."
Gloucester got off to a fortunate start in the first period. Having been outskated 5-on-5 and held scoreless through three power plays -- including one 22-second two-man advantage — it seemed the Fishermen had missed what may have been their only opportunities.
But after their third power play expired, Webb walked the blue line and laced a wrist shot on net, where DeCoste fought through a battle to tip it past Gallagher, giving Gloucester the lead with just 28 seconds left in the period.
Parisi stood on his head for much of the second period, preserving Gloucester's slim lead with save after save while the Big Blue poured it on net.
"Owen played great, he really kept us in it," DeCoste said. "He was a big part of keeping us in the game. They had 40 shots we had like 20, he kept us in it, played really good."
Swampscott finally got past Parisi with power-play goals from Nunzio Moretti and Chris Carman midway through the frame, forcing Lowe to take his team's timeout as the game appeared to be slipping away.
Something clicked after that timeout, though, as Gloucester pushed back and knotted the game at two late in the frame when DeCoste beat Gallagher for the second time, this time just off an offensive zone faceoff win by Pete Mondello.
Gloucester rode the momentum into the third period, which was fairly even until DeCoste completed his hat trick and Noyes sealed the win.
In the end, it was far from pretty, and it was a game Gloucester was lucky to have won.
But for a team that's often folded in tough games, both this year and in recent seasons, the Fishermen's perseverance demonstrates how far the team has come over recent weeks. That mental shift in the locker room could prove to be all the difference as Gloucester continues to push for a playoff spot.
"We slowed down a lot in the beginning (of the season), really bad," DeCoste said. "But we realized we've got to do what we've got to do with what we have and we just kind of snapped out of it."

|City council approves snowmobile access ordinance
By Ken Anderson
An ordinance creating a series of access routes for snowmobiles within the city of Eagle River to reach established trails from residences, businesses and lodging establishments was approved on a one-year trial basis in a 3-1 vote of the city council Tuesday night.
After Mayor Jeff Hyslop called for the agenda item on the snowmobile ordinance, Councilwoman Carol Hendricks immediately objected and indicated she would not vote for the ordinance. She was the only council member to oppose the ordinance.
There are a number of restrictions in the ordinance.
Snowmobiles cannot be operated on any sidewalk, upon or across city parks or golf course except on the designated trail through Riverview Park, and only between Dec. l and March 31.
The drivers of the machines must obey all traffic signals and signs throughout the city and cannot exceed 25 mph on streets and 15 mph in alleys and parking lots. Sleds must travel signal file on the right side of the roadway and with the flow of traffic.
Certain sections of Wall and Railroad streets cannot be used, but can be crossed at intersections and one cannot operate on private property without written consent of the owner.
The city council has the authority to close city streets or designated snowmobile routes at any time.
The Sno-Eagles Snowmobile Club of Eagle River asked the city council to approve the ordinance.

Jury says Concord man is guilty of hate crime
A Merrimack County Superior Court jury convicted Freese of felony criminal threatening, second-degree assault and accomplice to simple assault for the attack on a Manchester man, Alhaji Kargbo, 25, last July 31 in front of the Market Basket in Hooksett.
Witnesses testified that Freese, co-defendant Joshua Peno, 21, of Nottingham, and two others in a vehicle shouted racially offensive words at Kargbo, who was on a moped on Route 3A. Kargbo then sped up to the vehicle to confront those inside at a red light.
Prosecutors say Freese and Peno got out of the car and attacked Kargbo, pulling him off his moped, punching and kicking him. Freese was accused of later brandishing a knife and slashing at Kargbo, who was able to escape.
The two men were accused of repeatedly cursing and shouting a racial epithet at Kargbo, who is a native of Sierra Leone and moved to the United States in 2005.
Freese did not testify in his own defense, nor did two other people in the car last July, a 15-year-old and Peno's girlfriend, Nicolette Nicolaides.
Nicolaides was convicted in connection with the fatal shooting of Lennoxx Tibbs in Manchester on Oct. 22, 2009, who was the subject of racial slurs as he was chased and killed on Wilson Street. Joshua Sprague, then 25, was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison.
Nicolaides pleaded guilty to felony burglary conspiracy and misdemeanors of hindering apprehension and false swearing in a negotiated plea that called for cooperating with prosecutors.
She was one of seven people recruited by Sprague who went to Tibbs' 259 Wilson St. apartment building to fight with a woman he blamed for drug deals gone bad. That woman, who was staying at Tibbs' apartment with her boyfriend, heard the group enter the building and hid on the third floor as Tibbs tried to escape the crowd, which entered the second-floor apartment armed with baseball bats and a gun.
The group chased Tibbs down the stairs and out into the street, shouting racial slurs. When they reached the street, Joshua Sprague fired at Tibbs, whose hands were raised, fatally wounding him.
Because the accomplice to simple assault charge against Freese was brought as a racially-motivated hate crime, the enhanced penalty is two to five years, instead of the one-year sentence for simple assault.
The class B felonies carry sentences of 3 1/2 to seven years each.
Assistant Merrimack County Attorney Wayne Coull said Freese will be sentenced in 45 to 60 days, after completion of a pre-sentence investigation.
Freese's co-defendant, Peno, is scheduled for trial in March on two of the same charges. He does not face a criminal threatening charge.

Well, that was fun while it lasted. Connecticut scored on the first play of the second quarter and one more time to give the Big East foe a 10-point lead at halftime.
Alex Zordich is just 5-for-15 with 74 yards for UB, throwing an interception. His best production has been on the ground, carrying it nine times for 66 yards. On the other side Khalil Mack already has three tackles for loss, including a sack and forced fumble. But for the offense, it's turnovers and incompletions costing them the game. Mack can't do it all.

FAIRDALE (WVVA) - A high school friend of the man who police say killed a two-year-old toddler says he was surprised by the weekend's tragic events.
"I could not believe it," said Michael Covey. He and murder suspect James Green attended Liberty High School together.
Covey said Green was an ordinary teen who like to hang out and play football.
"I grew up with (Green) most of my life, you know, went to school with him, hung out with him all the time. I just did not know what to think when I first heard about it."
Green was charged with first-degree murder in the death of his two-year-old stepson, Graydon Morgan, after the child died early Saturday morning at a Charleston hospital.
View WVVA.com's original report on the incident
Police said the child's life-ending injuries were consistent with being grabbed, squeezed, shaken and punched.
View the criminal complaint against Green
Police also said Green was a known drug addict.
"The kids should have been taken away a long time ago," Covey said. "They should have never been in that position to begin with."
Graydon's twin is now in the custody of Child Protective Services.
Green's wife, 27-year-old Brandy Smallwood, was also arrested and charged with child neglect resulting in death.

But lately the duo's greatest deception is their public friendship, while secretly they've grown to loathe each other. Facing cutthroat competition from guerilla street magician Steve Gray, whose cult following surges with each outrageous stunt, even their show looks stale.

Mark Hayward's City Matters: Coming together to heal a West Side community
Anyone who's seen a fire grow on a cold morning knows how fast hungry flames can consume buildings, belongings, sometimes even lives.
No one died in a Nov. 25 fire at a three-story apartment building at Granite and Barr streets, but an early-morning fire certainly destroyed any post-Thanksgiving sense of security and stability for some 30 people who had made their homes there. Of course, the fire and resulting water damage ruined tangible items - such as wardrobes, furniture, food, electronics and everyday belongings that make up a home.
"It's been rough," said Brianna Michaud, who lost furniture, clothes, food and all her family's shoes. Since then, Michaud, her husband and infant daughter have been staying in the home of someone she barely knows, she said.
Luckily for her, some things are stronger than flames, namely the Manchester and New Hampshire traditions of helping out people stung by a sudden disaster. And some things travel nearly as fast as flames, namely Facebook postings about people who lose nearly everything in a fire.
So on Wednesday, 10 days after a fire drove them from their homes, residents returned to the corner of Granite and Barr streets.
There they found folded clothes, toys and books, neatly arranged on tables with hand-lettered signs that read "Infants" and "Tweens."
Five stainless steel racks held hangers with clean and neatly pressed jeans, sweaters and outerwear. More clothes hung in two vans pulled along the curb.
Another van offered neatly paired shoes and household goods. Around the corner, a fourth van housed televisions, mattresses, lamps and other furniture.
All was donated after Shelley Therrien put out a plea on Facebook for donations. She runs two dry cleaners for her boss, Oscy Cadran, who owns the building at 5-11 Barr St.
"There's a lot of stuff here," said Cadran, as he stood in the center of what looks like it could be a sidewalk bazaar in some distant country. "We can't replace everything, but this is at least a head start."
"Private donations are good, but we have a lot of rebuilding to do," said Jason Fournier, as his hands combed through men's clothing. He and his parents have been living at the Comfort Inn since the fire, he said.
"We lost everything," as he ticked off the living room set, television, couch, kitchen set, pots and pans, washer, dryer.
Therrien said she farmed off some of her responsibilities to co-workers, put her Christmas shopping on hold and did what she could to organize the spontaneneous clothing drive. Bags of donated items arrived daily at the dry cleaners. Some items were mailed from as far away as Vermont. Enough checks were sent to pay for six beds sets, including box springs, mattresses, even sheets and pillow cases.
Yesterday was nothing like a shopper's mad house envisioned whenever the words Black Friday sale appear on a billboard. Tenants directed their former neighbors to clothes that fit them. Donna Kuligowski, whose apartment was away from the fire, said she will be able to salvage most of her furniture, so she only wanted to pick up some clothes for the children she cares for.
Three months ago, I wrote about a building, just next door to Cadran's, with numerous code violations, unpaid taxes and city fees, and frustrated tenants. Odd that a building next door has a landlord with such a different approach to business. One who organizes an effort to restore what was lost, one who tries to find them a new place. One who mingles freely with them.
"I've had these tenants for years. You feel close to them," he said. He's offered them apartments in his other buildings, but most want to stay on the West Side.

Pioneer softball coach John Bingaman knew runs would be tough to come by against defending Class A state champion Lakewood Park Christian and junior ace pitcher Mikeila Boroff.
So the gameplan going in to Monday's semistate game was to have senior ace Betsy Bingaman shut down the potent LPC attack and hope to push across one or two runs.
Betsy Bingaman did shut down LPC for the most part, but Pioneer never did push across a run. Meanwhile, LPC scored three runs after a pair of controversial calls en route to a 3-0 win in a semifinal game at the Clinton Prairie Semistate.
The No. 5-ranked Pioneer Panthers (24-7) have to settle for three straight semistate appearances. The No. 1 LPC Panthers improved to 27-2 with the win.
Boroff held Pioneer to no runs on five hits and no walks, striking out nine.
Pioneer had some chances but couldn't push across a run. Jessica Price led off the third inning with a base hit but the Panthers couldn't move her any further. Lindsey Miller led off the fourth with a base hit and Katie Bingaman followed with a one-out single, but Miller was later left stranded at third. Miller nearly went yard with one out in the sixth but had to settle for a double after the ball crashed off the bottom of the fence in left at the 200-feet sign. She was left stranded at second. Jennifer Hughes had a one-out infield single in the seventh but was left stranded at first.
Pioneer kept the strikeouts down to nine against Boroff but John Bingaman was hoping for better.
"We were hoping to keep it under seven, seven or lower," he said. "But when we needed to get a big hit, we couldn't do it."
As far as the controversial calls go, John Bingaman thought that both calls were missed and LPC coach David Carnahan thought that both were the correct calls.
John Bingaman said the umpires were well qualified and good umpires, he just disagreed with a couple calls.
"They're semistate umpires. These are the best guys we've got," he said. "They're bang-bang calls, so one side's going to be happy and one side's going to be dissatisfied.
"You've got to make your own breaks sometimes."
The first controversial call came in the fourth inning. LPC had runners on first and second with one out when Brittan Carnahan lifted a fly ball to deep center. Kayte Miller got turned around on the ball but made the catch falling down. There appeared to be confusion whether or not Miller caught the ball. The umpires ruled that she did and that the base runner Brooke Herendeen tagged and scored all the way from second.
Pioneer appealed at second but to no avail. It would have been the third out of the inning. Suzanne Grimm followed with an RBI single later in the inning to make it 2-0.
"I wish I could see the ball out in center. I've got no better angle than he had," John Bingaman said. "He called her out, and he said she tagged up from second. We didn't think so. What cued us off was the girl that scored said 'I thought she dropped it.' So when you hear that, it's what do you do.
"But still, you've got to score. We got five hits on the game. We still had a hard time staying off the high stuff, and we worked on that a lot. We put the ball in play better, but it still seemed like we got a lot of popups and didn't hit anything real solid."
David Carnahan had a different view of the play.
"The umpire made the call and I think that she stayed there. I reminded her to stay there if we get a deep hit fly ball. It was a good head's up play there to score on that deep fly ball," he said.
The second controversial call came in the seventh inning. Jamie Budreau led off the inning with a routine popup that was dropped in the infield. She was on third with two outs when leadoff hitter Hannah Priskorn was called safe after a grounder to short for an RBI hit to make it 3-0.
"The play at first, she was out," John Bingaman said. "Once again it's a bang-bang call.
"You've got that lefty slapper. I can't believe how fast she was. She was flying down the line. I thought she was out by a step, but again it really doesn't matter what I think."
"I thought she was safe," David Carnahan countered. "I thought she was safe once before that on a close call, too. Those are bang-bang calls."
The LPC coach credited Pioneer for playing his squad so closely.
"They've had a great season, had a great pitcher. She's had a great career. He's a great coach," he said. "She did enough to keep us off balance to keep it a very tight game.
"They had a great season. I know they want to win it and they want to be there and they've worked hard to do that. When you do that and you're laying it all out there with your heart, there's a lot of emotion that goes through you."
Betsy Bingaman allowed three runs (two earned) on six hits and one walk, striking out four.
But John Bingaman would argue the score should have been 0-0 after seven innings.
LPC, which already had qualified to move up to Class 2A next season due to the IHSAA's new success factor, defeated No. 7 Frontier 5-0 Monday night to win its third straight semistate title.

Get things rolling on a rainy day with this toy truck project.
Paint the box with acrylic paints, or turn the box inside out and reseal the seams with double-sided tape. Set the box upright on one of its longer edges so that the box top becomes the front of the truck.
Then, cut away the upper corner of the truck front and glue closed the lower portion. This provides a place for the driver (a toy figure) to sit.
Finally, glue on a set of bead headlights.
To attach wheels, insert a piece of craft wire through one side of the truck and out the opposite, positioning the wire an inch in from the back of the truck and as near to the truck floor as possible. Slip each end of the wire axle through one of the holes in a black button, and bend the tips to keep them from sliding back through. Use the same method to attach a second set of wheels just behind the driver's seat.

Kick-Ass, Hit Girl and Red Mist are back for the follow-up to 2010′s irreverent global hit: Kick-Ass 2. Definitely, there is high expectation that this sequel will lavishly offer something different that no other superhero movies have offered. Thanks to the pressure brought by the success of the first Kick-Ass. But before casual moviegoers are able to see this most anticipated sequel, most of the reviews have circulated online, which unfortunate enough to receive mostly harsh criticism for giving this out to a newcomer director Jeff Wadlow and coming up with a very violent and a half-baked plot. But most of the reviews, too, find a place to commend Chloe Grace Moretz who stands out as Hit Girl. Moretz, like Hit Girl herself, has entered an awkward adolescent stage and perhaps makes her to aptly adapt to character's juncture.
Finding the right actor for a role is a challenge to the entire film production. But finding the right actor for a superhero role is even more challenging. To perfectly portray these characters from the comics on the big screen is not an easy task, although this can be a window to popularity, so as to intolerable criticisms (Yes, Ryan Reynolds hears us aloud). So, we decided to list down the most apt and capable actors who qualify as our Top 10 favorite Superhero Movie Portrayals. Chloe Grace Moretz should be part of our list, but her portrayal isn't enough to save the entire film. Why not we check out the list and let us know if you agree with it? Shall we?

State police are looking for the pickup truck driver they said is responsible for a fatal car crash.
Sky7HD was over the scene of the crash on Route 128 near the Burlington Mall.
Police said an older model white pickup truck with plywood siding on the bed was driving through the area when they lost a mattress out of the back of the truck.
The woman behind that truck slammed on her brakes to avoid the debris.
"While she was stopping, a subject in a red pickup truck drove into the back of her car, flipped over her car, causing extremely serious injuries to the party," Mass. State Police Sgt. Jeffrey Joachim said.
Troopers wasted no time immediately performing CPR on the 56-year-old woman to keep her alive. She was rushed to the hospital, but later died.
The driver of the truck that struck the woman's car was not seriously hurt.
Police said there were two men in the truck that lost the mattress.
"We have witnesses who saw them stop about a mile down the road and strap the load back on the truck," Joachim said.
State police have not said what charges could be filed, only that they are more focused on finding the truck that lost part of its load.
"We are looking for a white international cab style truck at this time that had mattresses and other debris in the back of it," Joachim said.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Mass. State Police Concord Barracks at (978) 369-4100.

1px difference between Chrome and Firefox...
I have a site with a 1px difference between Chrome and Firefox on the sizing of an element.
This is how it looks in Chrome. (The blue line going across should be even)
If I add 1px height to the element above it, the blue line evens out Chrome, but Firefox and IE are now uneven.
Is there some hack just for Chrome I can place here? Thanks for any suggestions!

Some metro Atlanta residents said they have had close encounters with scorpions in recent days. With the cooler weather coming in, some creatures are seeking shelter and warmth indoors. Gwinnett County resident Christi Tininnis said she came across a scorpion in her house on Tuesday. At first she thought it was a joke played by someone who knew her fear of bugs. "Then as I got a little closer, it started to move, and I'm like, 'Oh my God it's alive and it's real and I think it's a scorpion,'" Tininnis said.She took some pictures before a friend helped her scoop the scorpion into a container and take it safely away from the house.Andrew Hudson is sure a scorpion stung his ankle two weeks ago outside his home in Smyrna."Suddenly I felt an electric shock in my ankle; it felt like something stung me or bit me," Hudson said.University of Georgia medical entomologist Nancy Hinkle said that scorpions are common in Georgia. The species found in this part of the state is called the "Southern Devil." This scorpion sting, she said, is generally no worse than a wasp sting, but it still packs a punch.

4/5 rDev +1.8%
Since the location where I had this is not listed yet but it has to be brewed at one of the brewing locations so I'll go with this one. It's a pretty thick tan amber with a modest white head and similar lacing. The aroma is clove and light banana and some sweet malt. The flavor is firm clove wheat, bread and subtle citrus. It's a well carbonated brew with a good feel that goes down easy. A very solid, refreshing brew.

Poured a deep brown with a fair amount of foam and loads of lace. The smell of wheat, roasted malts and yeast filled the nose. The taste was of a thick sweetness with a hint of bitterness to balance this smooth tasting dunkelweizen. One of the best U.S. Dunkelweizen that I've tasted in a long time!

I have read the reviews on this beer and when in Harris Teeter today I grabbed it.Poured into my Brooklyn-Schneider Hopfen-Weisse glass a deeper russet color with a great blooming off white head that stuck like glue to the glass.Milder aromas,a mix of green apple,banana,and clove mainly,a bit of iron as well.Light but flavorful wich really is true to the style,lemony with light phenolic spice.a trace brown sugar and chocolate to compliment the fruity and spiced components.This pretty delicate compared to many American versions of the style wich is a good thing,very well done.
Oh and lets go Red Wings!

Thanks to Josh @ Beer Run in Charlottesville for allowing me to try this one.
A: This was one of the nicer dunkels I have poured. It came from the bottle looking beautifully unfiltered and brown... and ends up in the glass pretty much the same way. Head doesn't stick around horribly long, but it does leave some nice lacing and it has a creamy little skim over the top of the brew.
S: Fresh cloves and a fairly big bubblegum aroma upon giving it a swirl. A nice fruitiness adds some character.
T: Not incredibly rich in flavour, but quite tasty nonetheless. The banana and clove flavours are most certainly there, with a little spot of bubblegum that carries on into the finish.
M + D: Well carbonated... crisp, but with a little bit of chewiness at the same time. This is my first GB offering, and it has made a very good first impression. Quite a good beer.

4.1/5 rDev +4.3%
Appearance: The pour is cloudy brunt orange in color with a frothy off-white head.
Smell: The nose is dominated by unripened banana. Aromas of wheat and clove are also noticeable.
Taste: The flavor profile starts out with soft wheat and an mild herbal and clove component. Lemon zest, caramel and notes of banana join the mix in the mid-palate. The finish is where this beer really brings it. Banana, fresh-squeezed lemon and clove, explode and linger well in the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel: It's on the lighter end of medium-bodied with soft carbonation.
Drinkability: This is a really good effort. Great traditional approach to the style.

Consumed 02/11/09. Served at approx. 38 degrees F in a weizen glass. Bottled on 01/07/09.
Beer pours a cloudy, almost murky orange-medium brown. A two finger light tan head dwindled fast to a fairly sticky layer of lace. Very well carbonated in the glass, with lots of very small bubbled slowly streaming up the sides.
Aroma is fairly thick and heavy, with bananas and subtle clove being the main ingredients. A carmelized sugar note as well as some vanilla. Honeysuckle. Reminds me of banana pudding with vanilla wafers. Yum!
Beer is thick and just short of chewy. Carbonation evident in glass doesn't seem to play a role in the mouth.
Flavor is less appetizing than aroma but still just fine. Banana and vanilla are more subtle on the palate than in the nostrils. Clove is more pronounced. Slight metallic wheat tang and a touch of citric tartness. Very clean finish with nearly no aftertaste. A real refresher.
This is a perfect hot afternoon beer, or as a warmup for a drinking session. Don't think I could do more than one of these, though.

Pours a deep cloudy hazy amber with quite a rapidly developing head that sits up very nicely.
Very pleasant clove and fruit aroma, minimal citrus. A slight sourness attacks the pallet and gives way to a mellow fruity caramel profile. Very bubbly mouthfeel, a little bit thin but not bad. Slightly spicy aftertaste.
Overall a pretty good beer, especially considering it cost less than a dollar a bottle as part of a Costco mixed 24 pack.

A- Bottle poured into a weizen glass. Pours a hazed dark brownish color with an off-white head.
S- The aroma is fantastic. There is a lot of wheat malt with banana and cloves and some yeast.
T- The taste follows the aroma with some sweet bready malt with the banana and clove flavors and yeast.
M- The mouthfeel is between light and medium bodied with a good amount of carbonation.
D- This is a pretty solid Dunkelweizen that is definitely worth a shot.

Bottle courtesy of dkachur - thanks! I'm just now getting around to reviewing this one, as I'm desperately looking for an excuse to stop studying for the bar. A dunkelweizen is as good an excuse as any!
Appearance: Pours as you would imagine - looks like, well, a dark, unfiltered wheat beer. It's sort of a hazy dull brown, and not quite as opaque around the periphery, where it shines a muted sepia. The lightly tanned two-fingers of rocky head fade quickly at first and then even out, maintaining a formidable one-finger height for a while, a foamy, soapy, sticky mass. Fast, zippy carbonation is visible at the very edges of the glass - anything deeper is obscured. The lacing itself spotty, speckly, dotty. This really is an attractive beer - if the lacing and head retention were a little nicer, it'd be near perfect.
Aroma: Robust, bready, lightly caramelized malts meld with a traditional hefeweizen combo punch - soft yet nonetheless crisp wheat, a slight yeasty nuttiness, mild cloves, and a nice, not underripe but not overripe banana note.
Taste: About what you were expecting from the nose, though perhaps a little bit thinner and a little more "unripe" in the banana notes (which is probably just me detecting lighter, fruitier esters). Very bready and moderately roasted malts - lending it a very sweet though not syrupy or sticky backbone - accompany the aforementioned slightly underripe banana notes, a few a faint green nutty notes, and a handful of other sharper, more citrus-esque fruit notes. All in all it's a little less vibrant and varied than the nose - seems a little "thinner," too - but it's good.
Mouthfeel: Crisp and full of light, average-sized effervescence in a body of moderate thickness that's still somehow reasonably even. About what you want from this style, though it is perhaps a little thin.
Drinkability: My first Gordon Biersch, and a surprisingly pleasant beer. First off, good for them for taking a stab at a style many don't. Secondly, kudos to them for getting it right. This has all the characteristics of a straightforward, drinkable drunkelweiss, from the bananas and cloves all the way down to the roasted but soft malty foundation. And at 5.4%, you can afford to drink it while studying for the Virginia bar exam.

You can easily tasted the malted wheat and yeast in this beer. The roasted malt offsets some of the banana, citrus and clove flavors, producing a sweet, rich and slightly spicy brew that is both refreshing and nuanced. Apparently the beer undergoes five to six weeks of aging which helps strengthen the flavor. Another great GB beer.

4.22/5 rDev +7.4%
Appearance: Opaque orange-brown with thick creamy head. Looks gorgeous!
Smell: Very floral with banana, clove, figs and malted wheat. Looking forward to this one.
Taste: Creamy banana with some dark fruits, clove and spices. A touch of citrus as well on top of a wheat base. Maybe it's because I'm having this right after a St. Pauli Girl, but this is delicious.
Mouthfeel: Creamy and full bodied with lower carbonation.
Drinkability: Wish there were some more of these in the fridge. Gotta get back to the Fresno State-Rutgers game. Go Dogs!

Had this at the San Francisco airport on 2009-04-30
A - Pecan brown with a 1-finger, tan head
S - Bread, clove, citrus and a little bubblegum
T - Remarkable. Smells are mirroed in the taste with the classic banana, clove, and sourdough bread. Just a wisp of hops. Compares very favorably with a Franziskaner Dunkelweizen although it is a short step below a Weihenstephaner Dunkelweizen.
M - Medium body and medium carbonation
D - This one surprised me. I didn't expect to get an American Dunkelweizen in an airport that compared so favorably to the brews from Munich.

Cloudy/hazy light brown color with a tan or apricot hue and some biege head and too dificult to see the action.
Banana, hint of caramel, and some grain malt aroma.
Even background notes of banana, bubblegum, and vanilla with lots of toasted grain, wheat, and barley malt flavors.
Light bodied, rich slightly buttery feel, with lively soft carbonation.
This is a toasty grain session beer brewed in craft form, excellent.

Prost-X. This stuff is goood! Thoght I was back in Bavaria but on steroids, SWEET!
Foggy nut type brown with a great white head with staying power.
Smell has lots of little side notes but pretty much strait-up weizen- NICE!
Taste is outstanding somewhat bready with all the little sweetness notes nice and malty with a touch of hoppiness-very cool!
Mouth was what you think kinda thick and almost chewy but carbonation keeps it under control in a very good way.
Drnk was GREAT very refreshing and not as heavy as I expected. Very Well Crafted Brew!

4.4/5 rDev +12%
Appearance: Pours a cloudy rust color with a magnificent creamy head; great retention and strands of lace
Smell: Green bananas, unsweetened apple sauce and cloves
Taste: Green bananas and cloves up front, with bubblegum and unsweetened apple sauce arriving to add complexity and balance; by mid-palate, a lemony tartness notches up the flavor profile and after, the swallow, all of the flavors come together in a well-balanced fashion
Mouthfeel: Medium to full body and creamy, with prickly carbonation
Drinkability: I have had mixed experiences with Gordon Biersch beers, but this one is a top notch example of the style

Poured from a 12 oz bottle into weizen glass.
A - Dark brown, murky, completely opaque. Two fingers of light brown head rise with good retention. No lacing.
S - Phenomenol aroma. Huge banana aromas with a nice dark bread in the background. Vanilla creeps in and out along with a touch of sourness. Well rounded and complex.
T - Light sweetness with lots of bananas, perhaps a bit on the overripe side. Breadiness comes on full force mid palate with remnants of fruit. Slight sourness and moderate phenolic character dominate late palate. Medicinal notes with mild bitterness in the finish with banana still bouncing around.
M - On the full side of medium bodied with a moderate to high carbonation. Couldn't ask for much more except perhaps a smidge less carbonation.
D - Dunkelweizens can make great drinking beers, and this brew is no exception. Perhaps the best dunkelweizen I've had, Gordon Biersch has managed to retain some sweetness as well as highlight the sourness and phenols present in hefeweizens. Certainly one of the best dunkels out there for anyone interested.

Poured into a tall pilsener style glass. Beer has a nice 3 finger head that holds pretty weel. Beer is dark brownish-orange in color. Ample carbonation continues to feed the head, looks delicious. Strong banana smell is tempered by a sweet malty nose along with some spices . . can't wait to drink it! Taste does not disappoint. Extremely smooth beer with hints of banana, clove, toffee and some fruit. Nothing overpowering in the taste but an amazingly well balanced and complex brew at the same time. Could drink quite a few of these and will continue to order them when I visit the restaurant.

My Eisenbahn Weizenbock glass wasn't cleaned properly, so I will use my Widmer Hefeweizen glass to hold this beer. On to the beer:
Brown with hues of orange, a mysterious cloudy haze that's candy to my eyes, and a creamy white head on top. The aroma tries to match the beauty of the appearance with cloves, cinnamon apples, and a touch of banana with good intensity. I predict good things up ahead.
I don't know what it is, but this dunkelweiss is a winner! Sweet, juicy apples quickly jump to my mind. Apple strudel comes next, and I think I can taste the flakiness of that bakery pastry. A little spicy with some mixed fruits notes as each sip nears completion. Phenolic overall. Medium carbonation, but with a gentle feel.
Gordon Biersch knows how to make those German wheat ales. Their Hefeweizen is damn good, and their Dunkelweizen might even be better. A hell of a good beer....did someone say breakfast in a bottle?

GB beers recently became available in our area.
This one is poured from a 12 oz bottle dated 3/11. It's bottle conditioned as should be with this style. Displays a muddy, light brown color with requisite wheat haze and a big fluffy head. The head has great retention and takes on a rocky appearance as several minutes pass.
Really nice, full weissbeer aroma with banana, clove, and a delicate spiciness. The banana and clove carry over in the flavor. This beer also has that subtle tart, tangy character that the best german wheat beers possess. The esters are toned down a bit more than a regular hefe would be, as the darker malts lend a light richness and temper the estery character a bit. This beer has a light body and great frothy carbonation level that accentuates the spiciness and makes it very quenching.
This is one beautiful dunkelweizen! The best I've had outside Germany and a must-have for any afficiando of this style.
