So the Utah Attorney General is the next official to try to look into investigating the BCS???

With Utah having completed another perfect season – its second in four years – that wasn’t good enough to even get the Utes into the BCS title game. Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff announced Tuesday he is investigating the BCS for a possible violation of federal antitrust laws.

He contends the agreement unfairly puts schools such as Utah, Boise State and others in conferences without an automatic bid to the more-lucrative bowl games at a competitive and financial disadvantage.

Another interesting thing to look at might be players by state according to position. But that will have to wait for tomorrow. Time to go to bed, good night.

Okay, here we go:

Looking at the rosters from 2001, I sorted by the listed home state. For Hawai‘i, I separated the players into two categories — Hawai‘i players who went to UH straight from high school or via a Hawai‘i college (HPU, UH-Hilo, the CCs, etc.), and Hawai‘i players who went to UH via a Mainland route (two- or four-year college).

Cheehoo!!! Congrats to Veikune & Mouton on being invited to the Combine. I don’t have nfl.com, but didn’t ESPN broadcast it last year? Albeit, maybe delayed…

Garret ~ That Vail skier ended up on KGMB news tonite. They very tactfully covered his okole with a photo of a “full moon.”

btw ~ I just wanted to clarify my remarks earlier about the BCS teams. Purely my opinion after using the ‘WAG’ method. I knew either you or Jason would come to my rescue with a boatload of numbers. Hehehe.

jm2375 ~ Speaking of Numbers! Whoa girl…you stand ready to use those flash cards!
