Good news on the Toal watch, he's been picked up by another team! The bad news is that just like I predicted its in the UFL. Brian Toal will be joining the UFL Las Vegas team which has me slightly confused. My impression was that there would be a geographical base to the draft where teams get first crack at local players, either from their home town/college or from what NFL team they were released from. Toal is from NJ and tried out with the Jets and theres a UFL NY team... yet he's in Vegas. This either means the local team didn't want him or I don't understand the draft philosophy. Joining Toal in the UFL is 2007 standout CB Dejuan Tribble who was selected by San Diego in last years 6th round but spent the year on the practice squad before being released this year. I think Tribbble would honestly be a very exciting player in the AFL (where his risk-reward rout jumping would be more exciting) but I hope he does well regardless. You can check out the UFL draft here. There will be two more stages to the draft to fill out the roster and I have a strong feeling that you are going to see Akins, Robinson, and perhaps even Crane make some teams later. I'm up in the air on Purvis, I still find it weird that he's wearing a FB number but with Smith in New England there should be an extra spot for a TE. In FB news former TE/FB Jon Loyte is cracking into the lower level of the AFL.
And now for week 3
Who we play: @ Clemson
Who we should play: @ Clemson
A budding rivalry that actually has a name and trophy (not that I know it) there's no reason this game shouldn't be played. Sure, it will likely be one of the tougher games this year but these are two pretty storied teams and its an ACC Atlantic matchup to be proud of. This one stays on the books.
I'm also going to start adding what I think this years squad would do in the dream schedule as well as the 2007 squad (the best team I know of in recent memory)
Holy Cross: win in 09 and 07
Pitt: Close win in 09, blowout in 07
Clemson: While there always seems to be the potential for an upset in this game I'm going to give the 09 team a loss here. If there is any "good" ACC team we have a chance against this year its going to be Clemson though. The 07 team would stomp.
