Today’s the big day
Dec. 17, 2007 @ 3:48 p.m. by Jeff LutzI’ve been watching too much Game Show Network recently, and one of the shows that I’ve spent too much time on is “To Tell The Truth,” hosted by the guy who played Jay Peterman on Seinfeld
In the show, three people claim to be a person who accomplished some obscure feat, and the D-list celebrity panel asks each of them questions to figure out which one is who he or she is claiming to be. I promise, I’ll get to my point eventually.
Anyway, on the rare occasion that one of the panelists knows which person is real, that panelist bows out of that round, not asking any questions or predicting who is real after the questions are over. So, since today is the day when City League football players Arthur Brown and Chris Harper announce their college choices, I must bow out of the prediction game as far as Harper goes. I already know where he’s going. At least I think I do.
And all of you will know in about an hour, too. But I can still predict on Brown, and I’m picking LSU. The only reason I have is because when Brian Butler appeared on the radio this morning, he listed Brown’s possible destinations and said LSU first. I just don’t think he was listing them in random order.
I’m pretty excited to attend this press conference, and I don’t know why. I’m basically against the hype machine that is ESPN, but they run these press conferences every now and then, and the whole thing where the guy puts on the hat of his new college and people go crazy is somewhat appealing. It will be a new experience, to say the least.
I mean, all Arthur and Chris will really be doing is announcing which school they’ll probably redshirt at next season. But I guess I’m just buying into the hype this time.

Brown picked Miami, I said on an earlier post that i heard thru the grapevine he was goin to Florida, but stupid me, i didnt ask the source if he meant the state or the school so now I dont know if he was right, but if he was I wanna know how he got the info. And doesnt that mean Miami now has 3 of the top 5 LB in the country for 2008 class?

I highly doubt either Brown or Harper redshirt next year, especially Harper.

What position is Chris going to play next year? KSU got a 4 star athlete last year (Lamark Brown). He didn’t play a lot, 3 catches for 33 yards this season. But I’m happy to see he stayed in-state. Still trying to figure out Butler’s decision on Miami U. 3 OLB’s? I wouldn’t plan on seeing him on the field much more then for special teams.
