From the article:
Mark Thompson - Florida

The Skinny: The No. 1 JUCO tailback recruit logs in at a beastly 6'2" 242 pounds. Not-so-skinny would probably be a better lead-in here.

The Concern: Depending on a JUCO transfer to emerge can be a dicey proposition at best and Thompson's case is hurt by the presence of two highly-touted sophomore running backs and a Florida offense that has lacked punch for quite some time.

The Upside: Size, strength, and the brute force of a rhino. Head coach Jim McElwain referred to Thompson as "an SEC back" and has a tendency to rely on one guy to carry the load. If reports from practice can be trusted, it appears that Thompson is set to be that guy.

The Verdict: Florida tailbacks rushed for 17 touchdowns last season and with the offense breaking in a new quarterback, expect that trend to continue - and expect Mark Thompson to be out in front of the pack.

Great question GatorTag - I'm a Michigan State guy through and through but have always had a indescribable love for Danny Wuerffel's wonderfully thrown TD passes. I will say this - for some reason that I can't explain, I have always despised Florida State...that's gotta be worth something right?

But really, I wanted to throw the love I feel for Thompson to people that will appreciate it. :)

MSU - yet there's an Aggie in your name. Son or daughter go to an Aggie school?

So you're a Michigan State fan who happened to see a small blurb on Thompson on a fantasy football website, and you figured you'd join a Gator board just to post the article? :crazy:

There has to be more to this.

Haha, neither. Son's only 1, so he's got a way to go - Actually it's still a Michigan State reference as they were the Aggies decades ago before they were the Spartans

Yes, a little more...I wrote the article and wanted to post it to forums where people could appreciate the love for their players. I'm a college football junkie to the nth degree. I believe what I said...love Thompson this year and can't wait to watch him run.

No kidding ... did not know that.
Agricultural school first so hence the Aggies. There was a vote to change name and the Michigan State Staters won. Thankfully someone was wise enough to realize this was terrible and they ended up going with Spartans.

What you did is try and get free advertising, something blatantly against the rules. But you seem like a nice guy so I'll let it slide this time.

Unbelievable. :shakehead:


Also unbelievable is the amount of money I make a week on the internet! I made over $15,000 just last month! Ask me how!

Oops, I can only plead ignorance. If you have to remove, I completely respect that - no worries. But like I said, I may just add two cents in every now and then :)

I can definitely do that - I love talking fantasy football....maybe I'll jump on here as a regular board...
While you're here, can you tell me if there's a better college fantasy football website than fantrax? Me and some buddies have used it a few times and i didn't care for it much
