But for the most part you are either in awe of Mr. Gregory or impatient for his return. In addition to his uptempo numbers, he croons a soul version of ''Danny Boy,'' belts out the heartbreaking torch song ''To Be Loved'' and even does a very funny brief impression of Mario Lanza. That he does all this while doing splits, backward limbo bends and more is jaw dropping. He seemed to tire at the end, but no ticket buyer would blame him.

This is the second gauge I have bought. I got the first one for my son, but my husband loved it so much better than his high priced gauge, I had to order another.
Overall |
This gauge is accurate enough to use for MX Racing. But not if you are trying to alter pressure for poor track conditions. For the average guy /gal, it a good product, at a good price and good quality.
Overall |
Works well
Overall |
Great product, hard to find a good quality low pressure gauge.
Overall |
Nice gauge, it would be nice to have one with a flexibale hose but this one will save you a couple bucks. These are definitely the way to go for accurate psi. Do work, buy one now!
Overall |
Overall |
Works way better than the stock one that comes with ATVs. The hold button is very helpful, when getting inside rims. Also the top swivels so it makes it even easier. Has held up pretty good so far to abuse.
Overall |
I use this my MX bike for super-precise readings. I do use a another gage to get it just under 15, then this one to get it dead-on to what I (think I) need.
Overall |
nice gauge i didn't receive the exact one pictured, my dial was different. tested against much more expensive model and it was dead on from 4 to 12 psi
Overall |
excellent tire gauge for atv's.fill it up then push the button in to release air to what pressure u want your tires at!!!

Quarterback Report Card for Every College Football Team Heading into Spring Ball
The spring football games are only about a month away and before you know it summer practices will be underway.
Looking at every program's quarterback(s) heading into the 2012 season, I hand out my grades based on where my expectations (and how I see the talent level) currently are and will eventually be for every starter.
Many talented players will disappoint us whereas others may shine bright as ever before. So, here are your quarterback grades heading into the spring for every FBS program.
Note: I do not include the four new teams: Massachusetts, UTSA, North Alabama or Texas State. The order is of the following: SEC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12, ACC, Big East, Mnt West, C-USA, WAC, MAC, Sun Belt and Independents
Alabama Crimson Tide
Chris Graythen/Getty Images
A.J. McCarron just won a BCS title, so the pressure is completely off of him in my eyes. He played well (matured quickly throughout the season) against LSU when it mattered the most and just because Trent Richardson is gone will not mean more of the onus will be put on him.
The offensive line ranked among the best in the country last season and they may undoubtedly become the best unit in 2012. Jalston Fowler, Dee Hart and Eddie Lacy will be a deadly trio of backs and McCarron will have a lot more help in the passing game.
Grade: A
LSU Tigers
Joe Murphy/Getty Images
Jordan Jefferson wasn't asked to do much against Georgia and luckily he didn't need to, but he struggled miserably against Alabama in the BCS title.
Jarrett Lee and Jefferson are both now gone, so it will be former Georgia recruit (third string at LSU last yr) Zach Metttenberger's job to lose.
The kid has a cannon of an arm and is a big dude (6'5, 250-pounds). The vertical game should improve and I look for an LSU offense to only improve in terms of yardage per game. At the moment though, they aren't the most confident group in the country after a humiliating loss to Alabama.
Grade: B+
Arkansas Razorbacks
Wesley Hitt/Getty Images
Tyler Wilson is arguably the best quarterback in the SEC and in the entire country. Sure, that Matt Barkley guy might be the best but Wilson cannot be too far behind.
In fact, Wilson is a solid Heisman candidate going into next season and a healthy Knile Davis in the backfield certainly would help. Jarius Wright and Greg Childs won't hurt a whole lot because the depth is strong and a guy like Cobi Hamilton should be ready to become All-SEC.
Grade: A+
Auburn Tigers
Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images
Kiehl Frazier wasn't and still isn't known for his threading the needle capability, but he has a big season in store of him. Frazier has a boatload of his weapons back that he played with towards the end of the season (specifically Chick-Fil-A Bowl).
Frazier and Auburn may be without their offensive coordinator in Gus Malzahn and running Michael Dyer who has since transferred to Arkansas State with him, but the offense should only improve starting in the spring.
Grade: B
Mississippi State Bulldogs
Butch Dill/Getty Images
Chris Relf was benched in a few games during the season and Tyler Russell came in and played well at times.
However, the senior (Relf) eventually won the job back and led the Bulldogs to a winning season. Russell will not be asked to lead this team and it won't be easy without star back Vick Ballard.
LaDarius Perkins should do a solid job taking over, but Mississippi State's passing game struggled last season. They need more receivers to get open obviously, but the lack of a physical presence has haunted them a tad.
Russell is a capable quarterback (8 TD/4 INT), but questions still remain as to whether his team and himself are good enough to sniff a top three or four finish in the SEC West.
Grade: C+
Ole Miss Rebels
Butch Dill/Getty Images
The suspension of Randall Mackey in the final two games of the season and the firing of Houston Nutt did not help things.
Zach Stoudt tried to stop the bleeding but nothing occurred as the Rebels ended up losing their final two games by a score of 83-6. The Rebels were 107th in passing offense averaging just 151 yards per game. Both former junior college transfers, Stoudt and Mackey will battle it out during the spring.
Grade: C
Georgia Bulldogs
Al Messerschmidt/Getty Images
Aaron Murray similar to Tyler Wilson is among the five best signal-callers in the nation and the talent around him is exceptional.
A loaded backfield and a star-studded cast of receivers (decent-solid OL) will allow Murray to play like an All-American. It is up to Murray on whether or not UGA can become legit SEC and BCS title contenders.
The pocket presence is solid though his accuracy needs to slowly improve. I look for everything to click as Richt and the Dawgs finally look like they have what it takes to perhaps win the SEC.
Grade: A+
South Carolina Gamecocks
Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images
Connor Shaw wasn't thrown into the fire necessarily when he replaced Stephen Garcia, but it didn't help when Marcus Lattimore went down for the season with a knee injury.
Shaw stepped his game up and scrambled his brains out and it showed watching his games (8 rushing TDs, 14 passing TDs, 6 INTs). Even though they will lose Alshon Jeffery the depth is solid despite what the statistics show.
No other wide receiver outside of Ace Sanders, no other wide receiver hauled in more than 12 receptions. The tight ends are solid and the backs provide depth for Lattimore which should help out Mr. Shaw.
Grade: B+
Florida Gators
Sam Greenwood/Getty Images
John Brantley's career is finally over in Gainesville and Jacoby Brissett and Jeff Driskel will be the next in line.
Driskel came in with much more hype and deservedly so, but Brissett will be given a fair opportunity as well. Most are expecting JD to be the next guy since he is the better pocket passer.
Throw in a ton of young speedsters and the Gators offense has to improve under new offensive coordinator Brent Pease (formerly Boise State). It starts with deciding who your guy to thread the needle is, though a good spring battle should be entertaining to pay close attention to.
Grade: B
Tennessee Volunteers
Sam Greenwood/Getty Images
Tyler Bray has a huge season in store for him if he can just stay healthy. Going down with the thumb injury was stressful enough on the program, so it is vital for the Vols to find a running game (116th).
If they help out Bray just a bit, he will shine brightly. Da'Rick Rodgers and Justin Hunter will be among the best duos in America at receiver so if the offensive line can jell, this passing offense will be among the best in the SEC.
Bray has the size (6'6, 210-pounds) and the arm strength to fit the ball in the needed windows and I look for Tyler and the offense to carry this team.
Grade: B+
Vanderbilt Commodores
Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images
Jordan Rodgers played lights out in certain games, but he faded down the stretch. Larry Smith was a senior and played well albeit they lost in the Liberty Bowl to post their straight losing season.
Still, James Franklin did a fantastic job and put together one of the best seasons in a long time for the Nashville faithful. Back to the Aaron Rodgers' little brother though because "Champ" junior had a knack for making plays in both the passing and running game.
It is a cause for concern that he threw 9 touchdowns and 10 interceptions so it is imperative he improves alongside legit playmakers in Jordan Matthews and Chris Boyd.
Note: Pete Thomas, formerly Colorado State's starting quarterback has since transferred and will sit out the 2012 per NCAA rule
Grade: B-
Kentucky Wildcats
Andy Lyons/Getty Images
Morgan Newton has the body to take on SEC hits (6'4", 235-pounds) but some argue his arm and smarts aren't up to par with the elite.
Newton started in the first eight games (UK went 3-5) and he was then suspended. The wheels came off for the Cats despite decent efforts by Maxwell Smith and Matt Roark (started final game).
Joker Phillips is surely on the hot seat and his quarterbacks haven't been spinning it thus far in his tenure.
Grade: C-
Texas A&M Aggies
Darren Carroll/Getty Images
Jameill Showers will be taking over for Ryan Tannehill and he is losing a few star targets in Jeff Fuller and Cyrus Gray as well. Luckily, Ryan Swope returns and he will rank among the best pass catchers in the country, but it will be a whole lot tougher in the SEC.
Grade: C+
Missouri Tigers
Jamie Squire/Getty Images
James Franklin is a stud and proved it against an unmotivated Tar Heels team to cap off the 2011 season. Still, Franklin is losing arguably his best target in tight end Michael Egnew and the schedule is beyond brutal.
Grading Franklin heading into the spring cannot go in any other direction but a positive one though as he is a potential star in the making.
Grade: B+
Ohio State Buckeyes
Scott Halleran/Getty Images
Braxton Miller under Urban Meyer should be interesting and many believe he will become a Heisman candidate within the next two seasons.
Entering his sophomore season and playing with house money per se will only help the Buckeyes in the long run.
They need to get back the basics, but they were abysmal threading the needle last year. Most of it was playing with younger and arguably lesser talented players compared to what they are use to. Other reasons such as the loss of their head coach and of a few star players was arguably put them in such a deep hole.
Miller can scramble with the best of them and still has a solid line protecting him despite Brewster and Adams moving on, but look for a new group of young receivers (Smith, Brown, Reed, Fields) to emerge which will ultimately turn Miller into a star.
Grade: B+
Michigan Wolverines
Chris Graythen/Getty Images
Denard Robinson may not be considered among the best pure passers in America, but he was and still is considered the most electrifying duel-threat quarterback out there.
"Shoelace" needs to stay healthy since he took a few too many licks for Brady Hoke's pleasure, but Devin Gardner is a reliable backup that could start for arguably half the teams in the Big Ten.
Robinson struggled in the Sugar Bowl, but the Maize and Blue found a way (lady luck) to win still. It is imperative that he improves his accuracy and decision making albeit he returns one of his favorite targets in Roy Roundtree.
If Michigan wants to win the Big Ten and or appear in another BCS bowl then Robinson better be able to perform like an All-American or an All-Big Ten performer.
Grade: B+
Wisconsin Badgers
Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images
Jon Budmayr and Joe Brennan will battle it for the starting gig, but Curt Phillips will be back after missing the entire 2011 season (knee).
Losing former NC State transfer Russell Wilson will be tough because of how much he meant towards the team. Wilson was a Houdini back in the pocket and was able to sneak and squeak his way by defenders.
He had an underrated arm but was known for his knack of carrying the team with his leadership ability. That is something the eventual starter must garner or else Montee Ball will not be able to go bonkers like he did last season.
Grade: B-
Penn State Nittany Lions
Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images
Rob Bolden isn't nearly as terrible as he may have showed in the Ticket City Bowl, but the offense was in shambles for nearly the entire season. Obviously the squad had to deal with arguably more distractions that any team has ever faced before during the ladder stages of the year.
Matt McGloin will be entering his senior season and he did a better job cutting down on his interceptions (5), but he managed only 8 touchdowns for the season.
The passing game was atrocious and it needs to drastically get better since their division could be wide open. The Buckeyes are ineligible and teams like Indiana and Illinois are (or still are) going through a coaching overhaul.
The only tough competition against PSU are the Badgers and the hope is that they can lean heavily on Silas Redd (1,241 yard and 7 TD). Bill O'Brien will pray that he gets more production from at least one of his signal-callers.
Grade: C
Illinois Fighting Illini
Ezra Shaw/Getty Images
Nathan Scheelhaase and the Illini passing game was just 91st in the nation averaging 184 yards per game. Riley O'Toole had some time as the quarterback in a limited role, but he was no cure for a group of receiver outside of A.J. Jenkins that struggled to stretch the field.
Still the decision making was poor for Illinois QB's (13 interceptions) and they were able to only reach the end zone 14 times via the air. Luckily, Scheelhaase can run with the best of them or else the production would be among the worst in the Big Ten, instead it hangs close to the middle of the pack.
Grade: C+
Purdue Boilermakers
Justin K. Aller/Getty Images
The Robert Marve experiment didn't go all that well, but Caleb TerBush was solid enough and injured starter Rob Henry is expected to become the starting quarterback when the summer rolls around.
Henry ran for over 500 yards as a freshman (8 TD/7 INT) but will be pushed by TerBush's solid junior campaign (13 TD/6 INT).
Purdue's weakness offensively was throwing the ball down the field as they ranked 83rd averaging a pedestrian 195 yards per game. Look for improvement, but will it be enough to get them back into the postseason?
Grade: C+
Indiana Hoosiers
Joe Robbins/Getty Images
Kevin Wilson was expected to have an open battle of quarterbacks, but a lot has happened since the end of the regular season. For starters Ed Wright-Baker and Dusty Kiel have both left the program, so the job for the taking is with Tre Roberson.
Roberson had a solid freshman campaign and was handed the gig towards the end of the season.
Known more of a runner, Roberson reached paydirt twice on the ground and only three times via the air (six picks). If he can mature and learn more of the playbook, he should be able to keep the job while maintaining success.
Grade: C
Nebraska Cornhuskers
Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images
Taylor Martinez had his chances throughout the season and his accuracy alongside his receivers let him down. No receiver had more than three touchdowns or 32 receptions!
Rex Burkhead carried this team in all offensive facets of the game, but Martinez needs to be more productive than just the running game. The hope is that the incoming freshman recruiting class can make a difference or else more of the same results will occur in 2012.
Grade: B
Michigan State Spartans
Mark A. Cunningham/Getty Images
Kirk Cousins wasn't the most talented star in Spartans history, but he was a pure leader that finished his season on the right note.
Andrew Maxwell has a stronger arm and can lead MSU back to a ten win season, but there needs to be a few wide receivers who step their game up. B.J. Cunningham (all-time reception leader MSU history) and Keshawn Martin are gone and the depth will play a factor for Maxwell.
Bennie Fowler must be able to step in and produce like he had two seasons ago. The talent pool isn't low in East Lansing with a tremendous coaching staff and some honestly believe they will only get better in time.
Grade: B
Iowa Hawkeyes
Christian Petersen/Getty Images
James Vandenberg had a solid season throwing for 25 touchdowns and just 7 interceptions in his junior season. The biggest question isn't so much JVB, but rather the talent around him. He loses his stud NFL tackle in Riley Reiff on top of star receiver Marvin McNutt and running back Marcus Coker.
More of the onus will be on Vandenberg so it will be up to him to develop a solid rapport with several young receivers and tight ends.
Grade: B+
Northwestern Wildcats
Elsa/Getty Images
Dan Persa is gone but he didn't carry this team despite all of the Heisman hype during last summer. Kain Colter was a triple threat actually with his ability to catch passes out of the backfield, but he will be the guy throwing the ball in 2012.
Guys like Dunsmore and Ebert are gone, but the spread attack that the Cats use doesn't rely upon one guy to carry the offense. Even though Colter is technically a new starting quarterback, NU does not have too much to worry about regarding him.
Grade: B
Minnesota Golden Gophers
Mark A. Cunningham/Getty Images
MarQueis Gray is heading into his senior season and will need to go bonkers for the Gophers to reach bowl eligibility in Jerry Kill's second season. Gray may run for over 1,000 yards but he needs to throw at least twice the amount of touchdowns (8) in 2012
Grade: C+
West Virginia Mountaineers
Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images
Geno Smith joins that prestigious list (Barkley, Jones, Wilson, Murray) of top notch quarterbacks for the 2012 season.
His Mountaineers are headed to the Big 12 and have a solid shot of winning the conference thanks to Tavon Austin, Stedman Bailey and a bevy of other stars that waiting in the wings. Smith has quite the precision in the pocket and can torch you in many different ways.
Grade: A+
Oklahoma Sooners
Christian Petersen/Getty Images
Landry Jones alongside Barkley, Murray and Wilson is in that rare talent pool. Losing Ryan Broyles was brutal at first, but he eventually got it threw it and now has a ton of talent coming in.
Kenny Stills and Jaz Reynolds didn't go anywhere so in reality the Sooners aerial attack should not drop much, if at all thanks to the return of Jones.
Grade: A+
Texas Longhorns
Jamie Squire/Getty Images
Luckily the Longhorns were able to earn a victory in the Holiday Bowl or else a ton of questions regarding the programs future may have arrived.
Mack Brown is expecting David Ash to continue to improve as a pocket passer and Case McCoy should at least push Ash for the starting gig. The talent and speed is loaded with youngsters so heading into the spring as of now is looking decent.
Grade: B
Oklahoma State Cowboys
Doug Pensinger/Getty Images
Clint Chelf likely won't put up Brandon Weeden numbers but he should be effective in Todd Monken's and Mike Gundy's offense.
The best offense in the nation last season shouldn't drop off the face of the earth and there are enough pieces to still play at or near a top 25 team. Chelf has experience as a backup and his talent is good enough to make this team relevant.
Grade: B
Kansas State Wildcats
Ronald Martinez/Getty Images
Collin Klein was one of the more productive quarterbacks in the country since he was so successful when the pocket collapsed. He tucked it and found paydirt 27 times, which was second in the entire country (behind Ball, tied with Pierce).
Klein has his receivers back, but will need to carry and take ownership of this team. Not the strongest arm in the Big 12, Klein is a smart thrower that makes the right decisions.
Grade: A-
Texas Tech Red Raiders
Ronald Martinez/Getty Images
Seth Doege impressed with a virtuoso performance in his upset over the Sooners. He threw for 441 yards and 4 touchdowns. He only ended up throwing 6 more touchdowns in the final five games and was picked off six times (lost six straight games).
Looking to bounce back would be an understatement and Doege has what it takes to do such.
Grade: B
Baylor Bears
Ronald Martinez/Getty Images
Robert Griffin III won the Heisman and has been the talk of the NFL combine the past few days so it just assumed that the offense will get a lot worse.
Nick Florence is a legit passer and has a ton of his skill players back at receiver. Art Briles is one fine coach and his offense won't be much worse in 2012 with a guy in Florence who can spin it.
Grade: B
Iowa State Cyclones
Jeff Zelevansky/Getty Images
The quarterback quandary the Cyclones could have will be interesting. Freshman Jared Barnett went off against Oklahoma State in their upset, totaling for over 450 yards and three touchdowns.
Though he struggled a bit and was nicked up in the bowl game, Steele Jantz replaced him and could have the leg up for the 2012 season opener at home against Tulsa.
Regardless of who starts, the running ability is solid and the passing game needs to improve.
Grade: B-
Kansas Jayhawks
Jamie Squire/Getty Images
Jordan Webb was expected to be the guy until Charlie Weis came to Lawrence and brought over two popular choices. Former Notre Dame quarterback Dayne Crist and former BYU signal-caller Jake Heaps should be the next two quarterbacks. Crist is eligible to play right away and Heaps will be allowed to play in 2013.
Crist has plenty to prove since he struggle at ND, but the bigger issue will be the talent he has around him as well as the one he competes against every week.
Grade: C+
TCU Horned Frogs
Sarah Glenn/Getty Images
Casey Pachall is returning for his junior season and he developed into a solid quarterback by seasons end. Nearly taking the Horned Frogs to a BCS bowl, Pachall was able to upset Boise State by giving them just their second home loss since 2001.
Threading the needle for 2,921 yards and 25 TDs (7 INTs) are solid numbers and he will be recognized if he can keep it up in the Big 12 next season.
Grade: A-
USC Trojans
Stephen Dunn/Getty Images
Should we just hand out a perfect grade and call it a day?
Matt Barkley is the unanimous choice to make everybody's First Team All-American selection among many other prestigious awards such as the Heisman, first pick selected as well as the guy to perhaps dethrone the SEC from winning its seventh straight BCS title.
Grade: A+
Oregon Ducks
Jeff Gross/Getty Images
Bryan Bennett will all of a sudden have to replace Darron Thomas since he declared for the NFL Draft, but he looked great when he came in during mop-up duty (on top of Nevada game).
Bennett isn't the best signal-caller out there, but he has enough talent with the weapons he has around him. De'Anthony Thomas and Kenjon Barner are simply electrifying and it will show.
Grade: B+
Washington Huskies
Otto Greule Jr/Getty Images
Keith Price will comes into the 2012 with high expectations after he marveled us in the Alamo Bowl. Against the Baylor defense, KP totaled for 7 touchdowns and over 450 yards of total offense.
The loss of Chris Polk may hurt a bit, but Price isn't lacking the talent. The Huskies remain a super dark horse in the Pac-12 thanks to one of the elite tight ends in the country, Austin Seferian-Jenkins.
Grade: A-
Cal Bears
Ezra Shaw/Getty Images
Zach Maynard made nice strides throughout the season, but I expected a much better performance against Texas in the Holiday Bowl.
The Horns defensive speed ate him alive up front, but Maynard's pocket awareness and ability to escape that pressure was tough to watch. Keenan Allen is a top ten receiver in the nation and the half-brother rapport they built last season could go a long way in 2012.
If Maynard can get a quicker delivery on top of fitting the ball into tighter windows, he could put the Bears back into Pac-12 contention.
Grade: B+
Stanford Cardinal
Christian Petersen/Getty Images
Andrew Luck is finally gone and now the replacement will likely have to answer every question in the book regarding the former All-American. Brett Nottingham is the likely starter and he will be a redshirt sophomore though he attempted only eight passes last season.
The former highly touted high school player stands firm at 6'4, 210-pounds and he will have a legit offensive line protecting him on top of a solid cast of skill players. Look for some growing pains throughout the season, but a ton of development as well.
Grade: B
Arizona State Sun Devils
Christian Petersen/Getty Images
Mike Bercovici (3 pass attempts) may head into the 2012 season as the favorite, but this might be the most mysterious battle among any BCS school in the country. Michael Eubank and Taylor Kelly are right in line to get a crack at the starting gig as well.
Kelly played in an extremely limited role similar to Bercovici on account he attempted four passes. Bercovici is perceived to have the stronger whereas Kelly is your typical game-manager. The most athletic of the bunch is Eubank and was even recruited by Todd Graham while at Pittsburgh.
For now, this position remains a mystery though Graham has had a decent track record of putting offenses together.
Grade: C-
UCLA Bruins
Ezra Shaw/Getty Images
Richard Breahaut had his 2011 season cut short due to a broken leg (did come back against Ducks in Pac-12 title), but he should come back healthy with a legitimate chance of starting.
Kevin Prince struggled a tad more than Brehaut so it comes down to what new offensive coordinator Noel Mazzone and ehad Jim Mora Jr say.
The Bruins passing offense has been abysmal (81st in nation) and it cannot possibly get any worse than it has the last few seasons.
Grade: B
Utah Utes
Harry How/Getty Images
Jordan Wynn had issues heading into the 2011 season with offseason shoulder surgery, and he got hurt early and he nearly missed the entire season.
Jon Hays had a decent junior season, but the offense was built around the star running back John White IV.
The wolf fan himself carried the offense and regardless of who starts next season at quarterback, they must take care of the ball and be able to lead this team to a better bowl game.
Grade: B
Oregon State Beavers
Craig Mitchelldyer/Getty Images
Sean Mannion had a rollercoaster ride of a season during his freshman campaign with 16 TDs and 18 INTS. However, the angry Beavers have struggled miserably for the last two seasons and the turnovers have cost this team shots at pulling off upsets.
Mannion has ran out of the Rodgers brothers and may have to play out his mind if he wants to get OSU back into the postseason for what would be the first time in three seasons.
Grade: C
Arizona Wildcats
Christian Petersen/Getty Images
Rich Rodrgiuez is use to having a running quarterback with the spread system he runs. Matt Scott redshirted last season and he is an athletic guy that can run Richy's system down pat.
The biggest issue will be to find the perfect mix of running backs and wide receivers to make everything gel.
Scott has started five games thus far in his career, but he quickly has to become the man in Tucson.
Grade: B-
Colorado Buffaloes
Christian Petersen/Getty Images
Former Texas quarterback Connor Wood is expected to become the next Buffs star as he the size (6'2, 220-pounds) to become a successful one. He replaces Tyler Hansen, who had a solid senior campaign with 20 touchdowns and only 11 interceptions.
Getting a nice solid sophomore season out of running back Tony Jones is a must and the return of just a few offensive linemen cannot become a problem or an excuse for Wood though.
Coming off a 3-10 for soon to be second-year coach Jon Embree wasn't considered a good season, but the schedule was absolutely atrocious. An easier slate and perhaps an upgrade at quarterback could them back into the mix for a bowl bid.
Grade: C+
Washington State Cougars
Ronald Martinez/Getty Images
A Mike Leach spread offense is going to light you up at some point and possessing one of the finest receivers out there sure helps. Marquess Wilson is an acrobatic, touchdown reception hauling machine.
Jeff Tuel is back for his senior season and remains as one of the least talked about throwers in the entire nation. Getting hurt and missing most of the season is your top reason why as Connor Halliday saw action alongside Marshall Lobbestael.
Lobbestael is done so the battle will be down to Tuel and Halliday though Tuel looks to have a solid edge heading into spring (Tuel started 17 games last two yrs).
Grade: B
Florida State Seminoles
Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images
E.J. Manuel missed all of parts of the Oklahoma, Clemson and Wake Forest games.
The Noles only lost one game (Virginia on time-expiring missed FG by All-ACC Hopkins) the rest of the way and Manuel was able to throw for 18 touchdowns (8 INTs) on top of his 4 rushing touchdowns.
His passer rating was 151.2 with a 65.3 completion percentage, but it was just his first full season as the starting signal-caller. Now entering his senior season, he hopes to get healthy (broken leg in Champs Spots Bowl) in time for the season.
Manuel has a ton of talent and has an absolutely loaded group of receivers that should catch most by surprise. E.J.'s ability to escape pressure gives FSU a serious chance to contend for an ACC and BCS title.
Without him, Clint Trickett would be counted on and incoming freshman Jameis Winston could see playing time as a backup if he does not get redshirted or play baseball (has stated to play football).
Grade: A-
Clemson Tigers
Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images
Tajh Boyd was like a typical rollercoaster because he was up-and-down all season long. He made Florida State's secondary look bad, (though they were exhausted by Oklahoma the previous week) and it helps to have the best receiver arguably in the entire country.
Sammy Watkins would make me look decent as a thrower and Boyd can spin it with the best of them when his footwork and timing is down.
His footing (footwork) were often off due to injuries among member of the offensive line and a lack of a running game. Both of those should improve and so should Boyd's accuracy (33 TD/12 INT, 141.2 rating, 59.7 completion percentage).
Grade: A-
North Carolina State Wolf Pack
Streeter Lecka/Getty Images
In the final three games of the season (NCST won all three), Mike Glennon was arguably as good as quarterback in the ACC and perhaps more.
He threw 11 touchdowns with only 2 interceptions, but his passer rating was over 150!
For the season, Glennon had 31 TD/12 INT with 3,054 yards and his squad looks like they may become a Top 25 next season.
Grade: B+
Maryland Terrapins
Rob Carr/Getty Images
C.J. Brown will be starting on account Danny O'Brien has since transferred due to the lack of playing time and production. Brown wasn't a whole better since the Terps went 2-10 in Randy Edsall's debut season.
7 touchdowns and 6 interceptions for 842 yards with a 49.4 completion percentage usually spells out disaster and it did. Improvement needs to be made this spring or else Maryland will not be bowling again.
Grade: C
Boston College Eagles
Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images
The Eagles failed to reach the postseason for the first time since 1998. Chase Rettig struggled as a sophomore completing only 53.6 of his passes with a passer rating of 112.4.
No wide receiver had four or more touchdowns on the BCS roster and it was evident that the Eagles could not stretch the field.
The quarterback play will be improved and the return of Montel Harris should help a tad, but that still may not be enough to get them back into the postseason.
Grade: C+
Virginia Tech Hokies
Chris Graythen/Getty Images
Logan Thomas totaled for 30 touchdowns (19 via air) and was only picked off 10 times. His 59.8 completion percentage needs to improve a bit because his receiver are not all returning.
Danny Coale and Jarrett Boykin are both gone, though DJ Coles and Marcus Davis return. Thomas is beast at 6'6" (245 pound give or take) and he is not afraid to tuck it and run.
The loss of David Wilson will be interesting though the Hokies reload in the backfield better than arguably any program in the country.
Daniel Dyer and Josh Oglesby will split some carries and Thomas is still a goal line vulture, but his accuracy down the field needs to go up a notch since he can't improve too much toting the rock.
Grade: A-
Wake Forest Demon Deacons
Grant Halverson/Getty Images
Tanner Price will be entering his junior season and he is coming off a solid sophomore season. The southpaw ended with 20 touchdowns and just 6 interceptions, with 3,017 yards and a 60.0 completion percentage.
Throw in his 132.8 passer rating where only Chris Givens and Michael Campanaro could stretch the field, and that season was easily the best one since Riley Skinner's from 2006-2009. Wake has a few issues, but the quarterback position isn't one of them.
Grade: B+
Miami FL Hurricanes
Rob Carr/Getty Images
Stephen Morris will be the starting quarterback, but he backed up Jacory Harris for the past three seasons with a few occasional starts (four).
Morris only attempted 37 passes which resulted into two interceptions (no TDs). Morris was solid in his freshman campaign and the young receivers didn't fall off the face of the earth, so I would look for improvement with the Canes.
Note Stephen Morris is out for the spring with back surgery, so look for former Memphis Tigers quarterback Ryan Williams to get the opportunity to see the field.
Grade: B
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images
Tevin Washington was in the top five for rushing touchdowns among quarterbacks this past season, but he also threw for 11 touchdowns and 1,652 yards (8 INTs).
Washington will be considered one of the best signal-callers in the ACC next season and his production is so vital.
I would look for improved numbers despite the loss of Stephen Hill (NFL Draft) at receiver. If 2011 was a sign of things to come, 2012 should be just fine heading into the sptring.
Grade: B+
North Carolina Tar Heels
Scott Cunningham/Getty Images
Bryn Renner avoided a sophomore slump thanks to a talented group of receivers. The Tar Heels didn't have the year they would have preferred, but their young signal-caller wasn't the reason why.
Renner had 26 touchdowns and 13 interceptions to go with his 3,086 yards, but his receiving corps helped him out. Look for more of the same with Larry Fedora taking over though over team success may not be as good with nearly the entire defense gone.
Grade: B
Virginia Cavaliers
Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images
Michael Rocco struggled a bit in his sophomore season, but the Wahoo's put together a magical season in Mike London's second season.
Rocco threw 12 interceptions and just 13 touchdowns, but he did have a 60.7 completion percentage (127.1 passer rating).
Kris Burd is gone and he was the star receiver, but Perry Jones (star RB) can do it all. While Rocco may rank among the worst quarterbacks in the ACC, but don't forget this league is loaded with studs.
Grade: C
Duke Blue Devils
Streeter Lecka/Getty Images
Sean Renfree returns his star wide receiver in Conner Vernon and they connected on 70 passes for 956 yards and 5 touchdowns.
Renfree only threw 13 touchdowns (11 INTs), which is a number that needs to double if the Dukies expect to have any shot at the postseason. Renfree is a big signal-caller at 6'5, 225-pounds, but the lack of a running game (115th in nation) has put way too much of the onus on him.
Grade: C+
Pittsburgh Panthers
Jared Wickerham/Getty Images
Tino Sunseri had a roller coaster of a ride in 2011 and the hope is that he can regain his compsure in a watered down Big East.
West Virginia is gone and the Panthers have a shot at winning the conference if Sunseri can find an answer to his accuracy issues (10 TD/ 11 INT).
Grade: B
South Florida Bulls
Al Messerschmidt/Getty Images
The topsy-turvy career of B.J. Daniels has been crazy since the Tallahassee native can look like a near All-American on one play, and then like a near scrub on another.
No disrespect towards the Bulls because they have solid talent and have been so close to pulling off a double digit victory season.
Daniels is mobile and smart, but can he stay healthy and remain accurate for an entire season?
Grade: B
Cincinnati Bearcats
Tyler Barrick/Getty Images
Zach Collarros made the Bearcats a near BCS squad last season, so who can replace him?
Munchie Leagaux is an athletic, quick and lanky (6'5", 195-pounds) signal caller that has the ability to come right in without skipping much of a beat.
Grade: B
Louisville Cardinals
Streeter Lecka/Getty Images
I would prefer to go all in and buy as much of Teddy Bridgewater's stock as possible. The future star and potential Big East Player of the Year in 2012 has a ton of his weapons back.
He should improve quite a bit and the sophomore has the talent to shine like an even brighter star next season.
Grade: B+
Connecticut Huskies
Tyler Barrick/Getty Images
Falling short of a trip to the postseason is always tough, but the Huskies hung in there all season arguably thanks to their quarterback.
Johnny McEntee would have liked to be a bit more consistent in his junior season (12 TD/ 8 INT), but he finished the year on a strong note.
Expectations won't be raised much (if at all) higher so the Huskies could easily sneak into the postseason thanks to the underrated play of their signal-caller.
Grade: B-
Rutgers Scarlet Knights
Patrick McDermott/Getty Images
Chas Dodd competed with Gary Nova throughout the season, but still finished as the starting quarterback having started all but four games.
The passing game was a work in progress and turnovers need to be cut down, but the Knights offense was still respectable thanks to the quarterback position.
Grade: B
Syracuse Orange
Stephen Dunn/Getty Images
Ryan Nassib will be for his senior season and he will be looking to avoid another basement finish in the Big East.
Nassib had his most memorable game of the season in an upset bid over West Virginia, where he threw four touchdowns and no picks (22 TD/9 INT for season).
Cuse has a few issues on their squad, but none of them are regarding the quarterback position.
Grade: B+
Boise State Broncos
Otto Kitsinger III/Getty Images
The legacy of Kellen Moore may never die, but his days at Boise as the starting quarterback are finally over and it may feel strange in 2012.
Joe Southwick will be the expected start with Grant Hedrick coming in on occasion as the duel-threat quarterback.
The medical redshirt season and return by D.J. Harper should help everybody out and the receiving corps are underrated.
Southwick will be ready for the challenge with Chris Petersen once again looking like a genius.
Grade: B
Air Force Falcons
Otto Kitsinger III/Getty Images
Tim Jefferson has been the starter for the past three season and the Falcons must now be ready for a different option.
Tucker Tipton may be the guy to replace Tim Jefferson, the programs all-time winningest player. Whoever replaces Jefferson will just need to take a deep breath and take it one play at a time.
Running back Asher Clark is gone and the Falcons need to replace a total of 16 starters (8 on both sides of ball). This doesn't serve too well for the newbie.
Grade: C
Colorado State Rams
Ethan Miller/Getty Images
Pete Thomas was expected to avoid a sophomore slump, but he could not catch a break with the Rams. In fact, Thomas has since transferred to Vanderbilt where he will have to sit out the 2012 season before being allowed to play.
A true freshman one season ago by the name of Conner Smith (6'5"- 220 pounds) will likely get immediate playing time for the Rams.
Grade: C
San Diego State Aztecs
Stephen Dunn/Getty Images
The Aztecs are essentially losing every single important player on the roster. This could be a tough year upcoming for Rocky Long and the boys because they really are going to have a major drop-off at quarterback.
Who will be the starter next season? Adam Dingwell, Jake Bernards and Chad Jeffries did not see the field last season but one of them should be starting in a completely revamped Mountain West.
Grade: D+
Wyoming Cowboys
Otto Kitsinger III/Getty Images
Brett Smith had a sensational freshman season as he threw only 11 interceptions and ended up with 20 touchdowns and 2,622 yards.
Look for more of the same under Dave Christensen's fourth season and the Cowboys should be solid once again.
Grade: B
New Mexico Lobos
Scott Halleran/Getty Images
B.R. Holbrook and Tarean Ausitn combined to throw for 2,196 yards and 7 touchdowns alongside 8 interceptions.
The Lobos were 92nd in the nation for passing offense last season and despite the return of a ton of skill players, none of these quarterbacks are going to turn this program into Mountain West contenders.
Grade: C-
UNLV Rebels
Ethan Miller/Getty Images
Caleb Herring had a decent sophomore season throwing for 1,004 yards on top of his 8 touchdowns and 6 interceptions. However, head coach Bobby Hauck wants to just keep his job and going 4-21 through two seasons is not the way.
Sean Reilly was expected by many to start last season but he saw limited action and will need outduel Herring in the spring if he wants any chance of starting. Whoever does end up starting, they will rank at the bottom of the Mountain West.
Grade: C-
Nevada Wolf Pack
Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images
Cody Fajardo and Tyler Lantrip split time for most of the season, including their seven-point loss in the Hawaii Bowl to Southern Miss.
Fajardo was just a redshirt freshman but looks like the guy to start in 2012 with Lantrip graduating. From the little we saw from Fajardo it is safe to say he is a pocket passer (efficient) that can spin it for a youngster (68.8 completion percentage).
Grade: B
Fresno State Bulldogs
Eric Francis/Getty Images
Derek Carr deserves little if any of the blame as to why Pat Hill was let go and why and the Bulldogs went just 4-9.
Carr threw for 26 touchdowns and 9 interceptions along with his 3,544 yards passing. Fresno was 27th in the nation for passing offenses and their defense just happened to be abysmal.
Carr should be the top quarterback in the Mountain West next season and Tim DeRuyter has a great chance to go bowling right away.
Grade: B+
Hawaii Warriors
Christian Petersen/Getty Images
Shane Austin and Bryant Moniz are both gone, so David Graves should be the favorite to get the starting gig. However, Cayman Shutter (6'1", 185-pounds Jr) looks like a solid backup at the very worst. He buried on the depth chart for the past few seasons but will get a chance to shine during the spring.
Norm Chow will look to get the offense back on track since it has been the defense that has sort of carried the team.
Austin had a tad less playing time than Graves, but his running ability may give him an edge. For now, both will battle it out all spring as Chow takes over his first official head coaching job.
Grade: C+
Houston Cougars
Ronald Martinez/Getty Images
The Houston Cougars passing offense was so filthy last year that there was no team on their schedule that came close to slowing it down (save Southern Miss).
Case Keenum averaged 450 yards a game and whoever the replacement is (David Piland), will have his work cut out for him.
Grade: C
Tulsa Golden Hurricane
Ronald Martinez/Getty Images
Kalen Henderson will likely be the guy to replace G.J. Kinne since he did so this past season during the Oklahoma State game.
Henderson isn't nearly the size or runner Kinne was, but the system that Bill Blankenship runs is productive.
Grade: B-
SMU Mustangs
Thomas B. Shea/Getty Images
J.J. McDermott was inconsistent by just looking at his 17 touchdowns and 16 interceptions, but the Mustangs caught fire towards the end of the season.
June Jones has this team headed in the right direction (three bowls in four years) and they will be picked to win C-USA by arguably most experts this season.
A lot is gone on offense (including McDermott), but the chances of Texas transfer Garrett Gilbert to shine right away alongside star running back Zach Line and wide receiver Darius Johnson has fans pumped.
Those guys could make any thrower look decent and a full year of starting under the belt of McDermott should go a far way.
Note: Kyle Padron has since transferred
Grade: B
Rice Owls
Bob Levey/Getty Images
Taylor McHargue started in all but the final four games last season, still he ended up with 1,072 yards with 8 touchdowns and 5 interceptions.
He shared half of the work with Nick Fanuzzi, who has since graduated. Head coach David Bailiff is looking to get back to the postseason and the chances are decent with McHargue leading the way.
Grade: C+
Tulane Green Wave
Stacy Revere/Getty Images
Ryan Griffin and the Green Wave would like to improve upon a 2-11 record, but that will be easier said than done.
Tulane has not been to a bowl game since 2002 and the hope is that running back Orleans Darkwa will be able to help cut down Griffin's 10 interceptions (as well increase his 13 touchdowns).
Grade: C+
UTEP Miners
Ronald Martinez/Getty Images
Nick Lamaison complete 58 percent of his passes, but managed only 12 touchdowns for the season in his eight starts (10 INTs).
The Miners have put Mike Price on the hot seat so hopefully heading into the spring, a ton of improvement can be made under center (went 5-7 last year).
Grade: C-
Southern Miss Golden Eagles
Bob Levey/Getty Images
Austin Davis is gone and so is head coach Larry Fedora, so what is up next for Southern Miss?
Arsenio Favor and Chris Campbell will battle for the starting gig next season, but they will be hard pressed to touch the season that Davis had (30 TD/11 INT).
Campbell did not see the field last year and Favor only attempted just three passes on the season. Clearly, experience will be lacking under newly hired coach Ellis Johnson.
Grade: C
UCF Knights
Joe Murphy/Getty Images
Jeff Godfrey was the man in Orlando two seasons ago, but he was had a miserable sophomore season and has since transferred.
Blake Bortles would be the guy as of now until somebody else emerges during the spring. The talent hasn't completely dropped off, but certainly the quarterback position was nearly non-existent last season.
Some teams were able to throw for more than 11 TDs in the first month of the season, and yet UCF had that for the entire season.
Grade: D+
ECU Pirates
Streeter Lecka/Getty Images
Dominique Davis was a solid performer last season, but he is gone and Rio Johnson must fill in admirably.
The Pirates will have some issues since Johnson does not elite talent nor experience to come in and not miss a beat.
Grade: C
UAB Blazers
Sam Greenwood/Getty Images
The last bowl game for the Blazers was in 2004, and the quarterback position is one of the many holes they have.
Jonathan Perry saw significant time and actually started in eight games last year. His 10 touchdowns and 8 interceptions weren't too shabby, but the Blazers still have a ton of work left to be relevant (12 TD/ 15 INT for UAB QBs).
Grade: D+
Marshall Thundering Herd
Al Messerschmidt/Getty Images
Rakeem Cato led the Thundering Herd to a bowl victory and his season was good enough for Marshall to post a winning season (7-6).
Cato returns his star wide receiver in Aaron Dobson and for that reason alone gives you optimism.
Grade: B-
Memphis Tigers
Chris Graythen/Getty Images
Memphis has been tough to watch for the past few years because of the quarterback position. Right when their season kicked off, Mississippi State destroyed them 59-14.
Memphis only threw for 10 touchdowns as a team last season, which was tied for the fifth fewest in the FBS. Taylor Reed started last season, but barring he turns into a superstar these Tigers will be disappointed yet again.
Grade: D
Louisiana Tech Bulldogs
Chris Graythen/Getty Images
Colby Cameron is read to off on the WAC competition, but he will need elevate his play of consistency up a whole level. Not starting in the first six games skewed his numbers a bit, but he hardly turned it over (3 INTs)
Grade: B
Idaho Vandals
Kevin Terrell/Getty Images
The Vandals sure do miss Nathan Enderke because the team combined for 11 touchdowns and 16 interceptions. Brian Reader has run out of eligibility so the starting gig is up for grabs between a few. Either way, things do not look all that well.
Grade: D
San Jose Spartans
Stephen Dunn/Getty Images
Spartan signal-callers combined for just 13 touchdowns and 15 interceptions, so clearly there needs to be some sort of improvement to start expecting a bowl trip. Matt Faulkner is gone so in comes Dasmen Stewart and a few other young options.
Grade: D
Utah State Aggies
Christian Petersen/Getty Images
Chuckie Keeton saw time in eight games as a freshman and he should be named the starter over Adam Kennedy eventually.
Keeton threw 11 TDs and had just 2 INTs whereas Kennedy had 11 TDs and 4 INTs.
Grade: B-
New Mexico State Aggies
Scott Cunningham/Getty Images
Matt Christian is out of eligibility and his 15 touchdowns and 8 interceptions will be missed a bit. Andrew Manley will get his crack as the next starter and the Aggies need to put up as many points as possible since their defense was 112th in points allowed last year.
Taveon Rodgers is gone at receiver, but Kenny Turner shockingly declared for the NFL Draft. The playmakers aren't growing on trees in Las Cruces so more of the onus will be put on whoever is named the staring signal-caller.
Grade: C
Toledo Rockets
Rob Carr/Getty Images
Talk about arguably the most underrated and deadliest one-two combo in America in terms of quarterback at a non-BCS school.
Austin Dantin had 17 total touchdowns and just 4 interceptions whereas Terrance Owens totaled for 19 touchdowns with only three interceptions.
Eric Page would of brought a ton of fun to the offense had he stayed, but they will be just fine.
Grade: B+
Western Michigan Broncos
Gregory Shamus/Getty Images
Alex Carder was a beast in the MAC as he ended the season with 31 TDs and 14 INTs. Losing All-American wideout Jordan White may prevent Carder's number from escalating, but this signal-caller can thread it.
Grade: B
Northern Illinois Huskies
Mark A. Cunningham/Getty Images
Chandler Harnish was one of the most productive quarterbacks in the country last season and he carried NIU to a 11-3 season. It was a magical runt that included a MAC title, but Jordan Lynch is going to quickly take this team into contention.
Maybe they won't win the MAC but Lynch is a solid runner that will only improve in time as a passer.
Grade: B-
Central Michigan Chippewas
Andy Lyons/Getty Images
Ryan Radcliff has a solid arm, but he cannot control it as he is often sporadic. He had 16 interceptions which is far too many, but those should will be cut down with a few receivers emerging such as freshman Titus Davis.
Grade: B
Ball State Cardinals
Brett Deering/Getty Images
Keith Wenning (19 TD/11 INT) matured throughout his sophomore season and he showed what he is capable of at the end of last season.
He threw for 10 touchdowns with only four interceptions in the final four games, and there a ton of talented players returning around him.
Grade: B
Eastern Michigan Eagles
Leon Halip/Getty Images
Alex Gillett had a decent sophomore season throwing for 14 touchdowns with 7 interceptions (1,504 yards). The biggest concern has to be yardage, since EM was fourth to last in the nation, averaging 126 YPG.
Grade: C+
Ohio Bobcats
Mark A. Cunningham/Getty Images
Arguably the best quarterback in the MAC for the 2012 season, Tyler Tettleton. Throwing 28 touchdowns and only 10 interceptions is solid, but adding 10 rushing touchdowns makes him one of a kind.
Grade: B+
Temple Owls
Rob Carr/Getty Images
Chris Coyer looked good against Wyoming in the New Mexico Bowl, but he didn't see a whole of playing time during the regular season.
Entering his junior season, he will let us know if he is for real or not with star running back Bernard Pierce off to the NFL. A southpaw that can tuck it and run, Coyer is going to need to just stay consistent for coach Steve Addazio.
Grade: B-
Miami Ohio Redhawks
Sam Greenwood/Getty Images
Zac Dysert had a solid junior campaign and he is returning his top playmaker in Nick Harwell, which makes Miami OH a threat to win the MAC.
Dysert combined for 27 touchdowns with only 11 interceptions, and those numbers will only get better next season against the struggling pass defenses of the MAC.
Grade: B+
Kent State Golden Flashes
Greg McWilliams/Getty Images
Kent State was 110th in passing offense last year averaging only 145 yards per game. That is pretty atrocious and Spencer Keith better hope he gets some more help or else it will be 40 years since their last bowl ('72 Tangerine, 21-18 L to Tampa).
Grade: D-
Buffalo Bulls
The Bulls were 76th in passing offense (210 YPG), but they were able to toss just 12 touchdowns on the season (9 INTS).
Chazz Anderson is gone and somebody (Alex Zordich) better stop the bleeding.
Grade: D
Bowling Green Falcons
Leon Halip/Getty Images
Matt Schilz ended his sophomore season with 28 touchdowns and 13 interceptions as well as 3,024 yards. The Falcons need to just improve a tad more and they will be postseason bound (507 last year).
Grade: B-
Akron Zips
Jonathan Ferrey/Getty Images
Clayton Moore was extremely inconsistent in his sophomore season, throwing nine picks and touchdowns.
Grade: D
Troy Trojans
Chris Graythen/Getty Images
The Trojans did not have many (if any) issues threading the needle in the Sun Belt as they were 17th in the nation (291 YPG). Corey Robinson had 15 far too many picks (15), but his team was always playing from behind.
Grade: B
Florida International Panthers
Al Messerschmidt/Getty Images
The Beef O Brady's Bowl was awful to watch because Wesley Carroll couldn't complete a pass to save his life. He was a former Mississippi State signal-caller but that didn't help his cause much.
Now, Jake Medlock will take over but the loss of TY Hilton will not help matters.
Grade: D+
Louisiana Monroe Warhawks
Chris Graythen/Getty Images
Kolton Browning was just a sophomore and his played showed it during the majority of the season. His 13 touchdowns were nothing to brag about and his 8 interceptions could use some tweaking. That said, the quarterback position isn't one of the main concerns for the Warhawks.
Grade: C+
Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders
Chris Graythen/Getty Images
Quick, name the starting quarterback for the Blue Raiders?
Logan Kilgore was a sophomore this past season and ended up with 18 touchdowns (12 INTs) and 2,231 yards for a Middle Tennessee squad that went just 2-10. If they end up with such a record in 2012, people still won't know or care about this Sun Belt squad.
Grade: C
Arkansas State Red Wolves
Ryan Applin is a hot-and-cold type of quarterback, but his running ability will help him prevail at the end of the day. Plus, bringing in the offensive guru known as Gus Malzahn could go a long way.
Grade: B
North Texas Mean Green
Butch Dill/Getty Images
North Texas quarterbacks combined for 14 touchdowns and 9 interceptions with only 2,272 yards passing. This team struggled on offense to do anything with consistency and it showed as they came up at 5-7.
Grade: C
Florida Atlantic Owls
Sam Greenwood/Getty Images
The Owls were 1-11 and the quarterback play was flat out horrid. Graham Wilbert was the guy last year, but combining everybody we saw the team throw 16 picks compared to just 8 touchdowns.
Grade: F
Western Kentucky Hilltoppers
Eric Francis/Getty Images
Hilltopper quarterbacks were great at handing the ball off to Bobby Rainey, but they were not good at much else (11 TD/ 13 INT).
Give Willie Taggert a sitnking break though, they went 7-5 and were jobbed from the postseason.
Grade: C-
Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns
Chris Graythen/Getty Images
Blaine Gautier was superb down the stretch and they gave the Ragin' Cajuns just their first bowl victory since 1943!
Gautier tossed 23 TDs and had only 6 INTs, which means look out for 2012 with Javone Lawson back. They might just be in the Sun Belt, but the numbers could go bonkers next season (Think 35+ TDs).
Grade: B+
Army Black Knights
Hunter Martin/Getty Images
Trent Steelman isn't the most talented quarterbacks in the country, but I am a big fan of the guy because of the little things he does.
Fighting for extra yardage on a team that attempted (by far) the fewest passes in the nation doesn't help your cause when trailing in games.
Army relies so heavily on the running game that once they fall behind in the second half, the game is practically wrapped up. Yet, Steelman combined for 15 TDs (12 rushing) and their three wins should double next season.
Grade: B
Navy Midshipmen
Rob Carr/Getty Images
Trey Miller will look to replace Kriss Proctor and put Navy back into the postseason (last was 2010).
Proctor combined for 21 TDs and had over 1,700 yards offensively. Miller shouldn't struggle too much filling in with Gee Gee Greene's role increasing now that fullback Alexander Teich is gone.
Grade: B-
Brigham Young Cougars
Ronald Martinez/Getty Images
Riley Nelson was fairly inconsistent throughout the season, but he was good enough to have Jake Heaps backing to Lawrence, KS.
Nelson finished 19 TDs and 7 INTs, but having Cody Hoffman by his side will elevate the southpaw's play quite a bit in 2012.
Grade: B+
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
Al Messerschmidt/Getty Images
If you were Brian Kelly, who would you go with?
Which current quarterback is most prepared to take the Irish to a possible BCS bid?
Maybe the offensive talent needs to be put into perspective, but had they just put up a touchdown more in all of their losses (save Stanford), we might be talking about how the Irish are back and better than ever.
Instead, they have more quarterbacks on this roster than we have seen the Chicago Bears try out before Jay Cutler came to town.
Tommy Rees, Andrew Hendrix, Gunner Kiel and Everett Golson will all battle it out during the spring. The eye-popper and most electrifying option has to be Golson, since he can flat out scoot and escape pressure.
Kiel could be the pressure if Golson doesn't develop into an accurate passer and Rees has all of the experience whereas Hendrix may have the best physical tools.
Since Brady Quinn left (Jimmy Clausen had his moments), the Irish have not come close to appearing in a BCS bowl and it goes to show how vital the position is.
Talk about a tough team to grade at the moment because the talent truly is there with All-American tight end Tyler Eiffert returning. I like this teams' chances (I think I have said that before though, uh oh) and feel the grade below can only improve in time.
Grade: B

iOS 6
Apple often previews major iOS updates during its summer developer fest, a global crossroads for Mac and iOS programmers. Apple announced iOS 5 during WWDC 2011 (though it didn't ship it until the iPhone 4S launched last October).
Additionally, OS X Mountain Lion, the latest version of Apple's desktop operating system, is due to hit virtual shelves this summer — and an iOS update would complement that perfectly.
Based on recent reports, the next version of iOS will borrow a lot of features from the upcoming release of OS X Mountain Lion. It may include iCloud Tabs (which will allow users to sync browsing sessions across devices) and Mail VIPs (which allow you to mark certain individuals as important so that their messages are displayed more prominently).
There may also be a "Do Not Disturb" feature (which will allow you to temporarily toggle off notifications, alerts and banners when you need a bit of quiet time), Facebook integration, and a totally redesigned Maps appwhich may include 3-D geographical features.
New iPhone
With the exception of the iPhone 4S (which was released in October 2011), every new iPhone model has hit shelves in either June or July. So it's no surprise that folks are still optimistic regarding the next-generation Apple smartphone being announced at WWDC.
Unfortunately for those hopeful folks, most recent reports shoot down the idea that the next iPhone will be shown off during the WWDC keynote.
New iPad
Let's be realistic here: We just barely finished peeling the protective film off of our third-generation iPads. Despite scattered rumors of "mini" iPads and the like, chances are extremely low that we'll see Apple announce any new tablets at WWDC — or until next year, for that matter.
New iPod
Apple typically upgrades its various iPod lines all at once, and currently all of the company's media player models are ripe for a refresh. However, a major overhaul of the flagship iPod Touch tends to follow a major overhaul of the iPhone. So the odds are that we'll hear more about this around the time of the next iPhone's expected release, likely this fall.
If I had a buck for every rumor I've heard about the mysterious Apple iTV over the last year or so, I would be writing this blog post on a diamond-encrusted MacBook Air.
I call the so-called iTV "mysterious" because we're not absolutely certain about anything when it comes to this device. We have no idea what it would look like or even what its actual name would be. We don't know its specs. Heck, unlike the inevitable next iPhone or iPad or MacBook, we don't even know if this device will exist anytime soon.
We just have some vague speculation which suggests that we might see the iTV — a magically simple yet super smart television which will allow us to control our media by speaking, gesturing or using our mobile devices — at the end of 2012, not at WWDC.
What we might hear about at WWDC though, could be the software platform which will run on the iTV. But even that seems unlikely.
New iMac
It's been nearly a full year since the iMac was last updated. This particular Apple product is past-due for a refresh and I wouldn't be surprised if we saw that happen sometime this summer (though probably later in the season, and likely not during WWDC).
New MacBook Air
There have been so many rumors about the MacBook Air's future over the last few months that it's tough to keep track. Most folks seem to be under the impression that the 11- and 13-inch models currently on the market will be joined by an ultra-slim 15-inch laptop sometime soon. While I'm not very confident about that little bit of speculation, I wouldn't rule out the possibility that Apple might put out a MacBook Air with a larger screen this year. If typical product release schedules are anything to go by, this would take place sometime in the fall.
New MacBook Pro
According to the folks at MacRumors, roughly 260 days pass between new versions of the popular laptop. By June, it will have been 240 days. Does that mean we'll see a new MacBook Pro at WWDC?
It's somewhat possible.
Bloomberg reports that "people with knowledge of [Apple's] plans" suggest that the Cupertino-based company will be unveiling a new lineup of thinner MacBook Pros which will run high-definition Retina displays, like those found on the iPhone and iPad. The appearance of apps compatible with such displays in the Mac App is, of course, only helping support this report.
The new laptops are also rumored to rely on flash-based memory, for the sake of shorter startup times and extended battery life.
New Mac Pro
According to 9to5 Mac, Apple may finally update the Mac Pro, its its high-end workstation. It's been about two years since this line saw any major upgrades, so it's not unthinkable that Apple might be looking to refresh it. Reports that Apple has begun pulling current Mac Pro stock from its stores don't hurt that theory either.
The takeaway
This year's WWDC keynote will most likely bring us software-related announcements — iOS 6 and perhaps the iTV platform. There is a chance that we'll see some redesigned laptops as well.
But odds are high that we'll be waiting a while longer for a new iPhone.

UPPER GRANDVIEW, New York -- Actor Stephen Baldwin was charged Thursday with failing to pay New York state taxes for three years, amassing a $350,000 debt.
Rockland County District Attorney Thomas Zugibe said Baldwin, of Upper Grandview, skipped his taxes in 2008, 2009 and 2010.
The youngest of the four acting Baldwin brothers pleaded not guilty at an arraignment and was freed without bail. His lawyer, Russell Yankwitt, said Baldwin should not have been charged.
"Mr. Baldwin did not commit any crimes, and he's working with the district attorney's office and the New York State Tax Department to resolve any differences," Yankwitt said.
The district attorney said Baldwin could face up to four years in prison if convicted. The actor is due back in court on Feb. 5.
Zugibe said Baldwin owes more than $350,000 in tax and penalties.
"We cannot afford to allow wealthy residents to break the law by cheating on their taxes," the district attorney said. "The defendant's repetitive failure to file returns and pay taxes over a period of several years contributes to the sweeping cutbacks and closures in local government and in our schools."
Thomas Mattox, the state tax commissioner, said, "It is rare and unfortunate for a personal income tax case to require such strong enforcement measures."
Baldwin, 46, starred in 1995's "The Usual Suspects" and appeared in 1989's "Born on the Fourth of July." He is scheduled to appear in March on NBC's "The Celebrity Apprentice."
His brothers Alec, William and Daniel are also actors.
A bankruptcy filing in 2009 said Stephen Baldwin owed $1.2 million on two mortgages, $1 million in taxes and $70,000 on credit cards.
In October, Baldwin pleaded guilty in Manhattan to unlicensed driving and was ordered to pay a $75 fine. Earlier this year, he lost a $17 million civil case in New Orleans after claiming that actor Kevin Costner and a business partner duped him in a deal related to the cleanup of the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill. The actors and others had formed a company that marketed devices that separate oil from water.
Baldwin co-hosts a radio show with conservative talk figure Kevin McCullough.

Bad news for Johan Santana owners
The Twins signed LHP Kenny Rogers today for their rotation meaning that LHP Johan Santana will be sent back to the bullpen. The article I read said that they weren't sure what kind of shape Rogers was in and might need to go to extended spring training to start the season, so Santana might see one or two starts at the beginning of the year, but when Rogers was healthy he would push Santana back to the pen.....BUMMER.

If you don't like the mostly drab black and bumpers and cases Apple is giving away, the Talon Hard Shell Case for iPhone 4 is a great way to add a little color and fun for under $10. It isn't anything fancy -- you can't throw your phone into a wall and expect it not to break (I would never try that anyways) -- but when it comes down to a nice colorful case without shelling out over $30, this is it.
Read on for more detail!

If you had to put your precious iPad through the ultimate scratch test, which protective film covering would give it the best chance for survival -- the BodyGuardz or the InvisibleSHIELD? They're both ultra-thin, ultra-durable plastic skins, but which is the most durable? That's the challenge they gave me for the latest episode of TiPb's Amazing Case, our hardcore, case vs case tests of strength, durability, and performance.
We figure if either -- or both -- of these skins could survive being ground against rocks, etched with metal, and -- quite frankly -- screwed, then they can survive pretty much whatever normal, day-to-day use throws at them.
Follow on after the jump for the details, and the give-away!
Why won't my iPhone or iPad case work with this cable? is one of the questions we're being asked a lot lately. A naked iPhone can pretty much fit any sync, charge, or media cable you connect it with at home, at work, or on the go. When you start introducing some types of cases, however, and add in different kinds of cables -- all bets are off.
The USB to Dock cable Apple includes with every iPhone and iPad box is typically razor thin. It just has an incredibly small profile and will generally fit almost any case you throw at it. [Cheap plug: the Apple USB cable with AC adapter is 50% off right now at the iMore Store]
The iLuv Flexi-Clear iPad Case not only adds no bulk to your iPad, it adds tons of protection as well. It comes in a couple different colors and gives you the peace of mind of knowing that if you set your iPad on a surface face up or face down, the screen nor the back will not obtain any damage.
p style="text-align: center;">
I have just finished my stint with the Incipio Feather Ultra Thin Case for iPhone 4 (hence-forth "Feather", that title is just way too long). What can I say? I like! The really thin nature of the case and the grip it provides is really nice. Plus, there are some extra benefits too. Keep reading to see all you get with this awesome case.
The first thing you will notice when you open the packaging for this case is that you get more than just a case, you also receive two surface protectors and a cleaning cloth. This is a very nice value for the price of this case ($23.95). The case itself is, as described, light and thin. It adds minimal thickness to the iPhone 4 and has a nice grip too it. I often refer to this as "grippy" plastic. Not slippery, but adds enough traction to be useful and stick in your pocket. The cut of the case is very precise. The back is completely covered except the camera and flash exposed. The case is very flush against the back with no real room for lint to enter. The sides flush as well. In fact, once you slip on the case, it can be a challenge to take it off. This, is a good thing.
Looking for an iPad case that doubles as a stand? Overwhelmed by the options? If you desire one that's nice and slim, your search may be over. The Macally Bookstand for iPad is a form fitting, yet protective case that can be used as a stand when in landscape.
The iPad snaps into the Macally Bookstand at each corner. This makes it very easy to take your iPad in and out of the case. It also means that the corners are the only spots on the edge of the iPad that are protected. This doesn't bother me; in fact, I prefer it. I'm a fan of slim cases that show off as much of the iPad as possible, so seeing the aluminum edges is a plus in my book. But if you're of the opposite mindset and want as much protection as possible, this case is not for you.
The front of the case is thin and kind of flimsy, but it holds up really well. About a third of the way from the inside, there is a seem in it which allows it to bend. Bending the front of the case to the back and sliding the flap into the provided slip gives the case a triangular shape. Now you can have your iPad at a nice typing angle on a table or your lap, or stand it up tall for easy viewing. I was nervous that touching the iPad would cause it to fall when having it stand tall, but this is not that case. The Macally Bookstand is nice and sturdy.
The outside of the Macally Bookstand is made from a velvet-like material that feels nice. However, it is prone to collecting lint and dirt. It is fairly obvious on the black one I've been using, but I suspect that it wouldn't look as bad on the gray one. I found that the easiest way to clean it is with an upholstery attachment on a vacuum cleaner hose - it only takes a few seconds.
If you're looking for a slim stand case for your iPad, check out the Macally Bookstand for iPad available now from the TiPb iPad accessory store.
Photos after the break.
If you had to go into a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu death match with your precious iPhone 4, which case would you be better off taking with you -- the Golla Stunt Pouch or Otterbox Defender? Soft, plush fabric with the security of a magnetic flap and belt loop, or hard plastic beneath flexible silicone in a easy on, easy off holster? That's the challenge they put to me and my husband, Antony in the debut episode of TiPb's Amazing Case, our hardcore, case vs case tests of strength, durability, and performance.
We figure if either -- or both -- of these cases can survive being slammed to the mats, rolled on and over, pinned and punished, then they can survive pretty much whatever normal, day-to-day use throws at them.
Follow on after the jump for the tale of the tape, and the give-away!
This time we're looking at the invisibleSHIELD full body for iPad which offers both top-side glass and bottom-side aluminum film protection. If you worry just as much about scratches on the back of your precious iPad as you do the front, full body is something to consider.
This is how I installed it.
If you're looking for a thin, durable, and stylish skin case to add a splash of color to your iPhone 4, the Case-Mate Gelli Case for iPhone 4 may be exactly what you're after. It's thermoplastic material feels great in your hand and it's chic design is sure to make heads turn!
The Case-Mate Gelli is made from a thermoplastic translucent material that Case-Mate claims is lighter, softer and more resilient than silicone and rubber cases. It adds just enough traction to prevent your precious iPhone from sliding on surfaces, yet smooth enough to allow your iPhone to be easily removed from tight jean pockets.
This case offers great protection to the iPhone 4 while still allowing easy access to all ports and controls. The spaces between the dock connector and mic/speaker phone are also exposed allowing 3rd party cables to easily plug into the iPhone 4.
The fit of the Case-Mate Gelli is very snug and thin. However, since the material is thin, the lip that curls around the sides of the iPhone 4 and onto the screen can be easily pushed off the screen. This allows for dust to easily collect under the case and I catch myself wiping out dust several times a day. However, I have not experienced and scratching to the screen because of this.
The Case-Mate Gelli is a very fashionable case and is available in 6 colors. Pink, Aurora (yellow), and Tomato have the kaleidoscope design (see pictures for a closer look). Teal Blue, Clear, and Gray come in the checkmate design. This style has squares and triangles instead of circles.
If you're looking for something thin, stylish, and protective, check out the Case-Mate Gelli Case for iPhone 4 available now from the TiPb iPhone 4 accessory store.

The Belkin Max Sleeve for iPad not only does a great job of protecting your iPad, but it gives you a little extra room to stick some of your accessories in as well. The case is made of a fabric material that is pleated on the front. This is what allows you to have a zipper compartment in the front to stick your other gadgets in.

As we should slam them.WASHINGTON — The Senate on Thursday overwhelmingly passed a measure condemning MoveOn.org for a newspaper ad it ran last week attacking Gen. David Petraeus. The move came as President Bush accused Democrats of cowering to the liberal political action group.
The measure passed in a 72-25 vote, with none of the Democratic presidential candidates supporting it. Sponsored by Texas Republican Sen. John Cornyn, never one to shy away from forcing Democrats to go on record on politically sticky issues, the amendment to the defense authorization bill did win the backing of 23 Democrats.
Sens. Joe Biden and Barack Obama were absent from the vote, though Obama had voted 20 minutes earlier on a Democratic effort to circumvent the amendment. Sens. Hillary Clinton and Chris Dodd voted against the measure.
The amendment did not specifically name MoveOn.org, but expressed "the sense of the Senate that General David H. Petraeus, commanding general, Multi-National Force-Iraq, deserves the full support of the Senate and strongly condemn(s) personal attacks on the honor and integrity of General Petraeus and all members of the United States Armed Forces."
But supporters made clear the measure was about MoveOn, and was aimed at giving senators "a chance to distance themselves from the notion that some group has them on a leash, like a puppet on a string."
"Who would have ever expected anybody to go after a general in the field at a time of war, launch a smear campaign against a man we've entrusted with our mission in Iraq?" Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell asked on the Senate floor. "Any group that does this sort of thing ought to be condemned. Let's take sides. General Petraeus or MoveOn.org. Which one are we going to believe? Which one are we going to condemn?"
Partisans also took the opportunity to slam Clinton and Obama for not voting on the amendment.
"I think Barack knew that he had God-given talents that were extraordinary. He knows exactly how smart he is...He knows how perceptive hs is. He knows what a good reader of people he is. And he knows that he has the ability -- the extraordinary, uncanny ability -- to take a thousand different perspectives, digest them, and make sense out of them, and I think he has never been really challenged intellectually." --Valerie Jarret

THAILAND'S champion female boxer Usankorn Kokietgym has been ordered to undergo a hormone test before fighting local fighter Susie "Q" Ramadan for the ORBIT bantamweight title at Flemington tomorrow night.
Promoter and former world boxing champion Barry Michael says the Thai hits like a man.
Michael last night stressed he was not making any accusations about the 24-year-old world title holder, but said the hormone test was part of Kokietgym's fight contract.
"I had the clause put in the contract," Michael said.
"She hits harder than most blokes I know.
"We just want to make sure everything is above board. She seriously resembles a boy."
Michael expects the results of the tests today.
Kokietgym has knocked out 10 of her opponents and her only loss was a disputed points decision to Mexican Ana Maria Torres in Mexico.
"Susie has to be careful early and the longer it goes, the better it will be for her," Michael said.
Former water skiing champion and Miss Universe entrant Lauryn Eagle will fight undefeated Thai Kiangsak Sithsaithong for the World Boxing Foundation super featherweight title.
"To be honest, we don't know anything about Lauryn's opponent," Michael said.
"But she is going well and I have changed her stance."
Ramadan has lost only one of her 22 fights.
Kokietgym and her management were unavailable for comment.

Before he was a beloved reality show patriarch, Bruce Jenner was the greatest athlete in the world.
At the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal, Jenner -- then just 26 years old -- took home the gold in the grueling decathlon, which consists of ten separate track and field events.
PHOTOS: Celebs at the Olympics
Decathlon participants are expected to excel at sprinting, middle-distance runs, javelin, shot put, discus, high jump, pole vault, and hurdles.
In London on Thursday, American Ashton Eaton, 24, followed in Jenner's footsteps, snagging decathlon gold once more for Team USA -- and setting the sport's world record.
PHOTOS: LOL! Stars choose their Olympic sport
"So Ashton doesn't have to sound selfish or self-centered, [he] is the best athlete to ever walk the planet -- hands down," Eaton's teammate Trey Hardee told the Associated Press. "The title bestowed upon the Olympic champion in the decathlon is 'world's greatest athlete.' Ashton is the world record holder in that event."

not in particular…going through a rough patch in that department. :/
is think of what might have been.
is think and weep about those empty promises we made to each other.
is wallow in the memories we've made together.
is believe that things will get better.
is wait. Wait and believe that things will end up happily ever after, but we are not in some f-ked up fairy tale where some godmother can wave a wand and make it all better.
All I can do now, is wait and hope for the best. I wish I was certain, but certainty isn't an option in our case…
The novel will not be focused on Riley's freshman year and onward. But will focus on Riley's senior year, to speed things up he is with Summer, Shane is with Lacey, and who knows what else. Lots of new people and such. New plots and twists. So keep reading, although i doubt you do ;) first chapter will be up maybe sometime this week? Maybe after the subj tests this weekend?? oh wells!
