That's beautiful. MY HOMERISM? I've stated that I'm NOT an OU or Peterson fan. Please explain to me how on earth my homerism would slant my judgement on Peterson either way. I'll be waiting for that one...
Because, your trying to justify some player, to keep my Boy from OSU out of the running for the Heisman. Thats because your SEC or ACC, dont have jack for the Heisman. Your a Big 10 hater, and your trying your best. But, once again, it aint happening for you.

Wow, that was specific. Which quarter did this happen in? Where on the field? Your description of the play leads be to believe that he was pulled down from behind as he made his move upfield. Perhaps my wording could have been a little better, and for that, I apologize. However, this sort of tackle lends absolutely zero credibility to your claim that Peterson is slow. If he were ran down, that would, but I'm just taking a wild guess that you won't find an instance of that happening. Slower defenders with an angle or in position make tackles on burners all the time. Doesn't detract from their speed.
If I remember right, it was in the second quarter. But, why the specifics? You asked when it happened, I answered. You thought I wouldnt. Now, you want even more detail, so you can attack something else I say. But, You asked your question where did he get caught from behind, didnt think I would answer, and I did. Funny, you got blind or homer friends, because when I pointed it out to even the slimest of knowledgeable people, they come back and say, "You are right, he is slow." And, it wasn't DJ that tackled him. And, it wasn't a LB or SS taking an angle, it was a LE, who caught, and dragged him down from behind. And, AP wasn't slowing down to avoid a tackle, he was hoofing it. But got caught by a DE within 15 yards. Now, that is slow!

Here are a few Peterson stats from the Texas game that might interest you:
He had runs of 44, 26, 19, 17, and 15 yards in the game. He also had 4 other runs of 10 yards or more in the same game. That's NINE runs of 10 yards or more in one game versus what is generally perceived as one of the faster defenses in college football. Does that sound slow to you?
Wow, two whole runs for more then 20. And one just making it more then 20 at that. Even with that great OL OU has, thats all he could get? That dont speel fast to me. Especially for Texas LB, that cant shed a block to save their ***. Hence, DJ. ALot of speed, but no brains, and no techinque. DJ gets consumed by OL/FB's. And AP cant outrun that? SLOW!

Oh ya, I had to be drinking. Funny, I dont drink. Funny, it always has to be some reason you are wrong.

Actually, it sounds as if this is when you STOPPED thinking. Please, find one other person on earth that agrees w/ you that Peterson is slow. If you can do that, I'll show you a couple of dudes who haven't been watching him play. Look, noone said he was Ginn, Hester, or Xavier Carter fast. How many players are? As a running back, however, the dude is a speed demon.
Previous writing. Friends, aquaintences, people who dont buy into the hype, and actually look at AP.

WTF does that have to do with the price of tea in China? You're really grasping at straws. Let me put it to you in words you'll understand (hopefully). Ted Ginn scored 8 TD last year. Of those 8, 5 were against Indiana, Penn St., and Mich. St. Wanna guess the combined record of those teams last year? I'll save you the trouble. 12-22. So, because Ginn scored over half of his TD against pansies, does that make him less a player? I'll be waiting for your spin on this one also...
You are right. We have chumps like any conferences. So, what is your point? I know you aint trying to compare Ted Ginn, to AP. That is just ludicris. But then, so are you with your personal attacks, and you lame points trying to bolster a hype machine.
