Is the SEC really the strongest conference? Really?

Is the SEC really the strongest conference? Really?
I used to agree with anyone that would say the SEC is the toughest conference. But I did a little research and I looked at the "out of conference" games that the SEC plays and to be honest I haven't ever heard of some of these schools. Here you tell me....Western Carolina, Western Kentucky, Eastern Kentucky, Middle Tennessee St, Tennessee Tech, UT Chatt, Kent St, South Carolina St, Eastern Michigan, Richmond, Arkansas St, Memphis, Houston, North Texas, New Mexico St, UL Monroe, LA Tech, LA Lafayette, FAU, FL International, N.W. St, and my favorite, Gardner Webb(funny thing is, I have a gardener named Webb!!) These are just a few of them, there are more! But let's think about this. The SEC is good, don't get me wrong, but are they really the best conference in Division 1A football? Or is it they are all "good"(not great) and aren't that much better than the next team in the SEC and at any given Saturday they can beat each other. Now does it make them look better if...... say the National Champions lose to Auburn who turns around and loses to Georgia who loses to Vanderbilt who lost to Ole Miss, where Ole Miss lost to....just about everyone. My question is, Is the SEC really as good as people think and say!!?? **LSUballs- Funny thing your list of "the weakest" schools, that looks like a list of the teams that the SEC teams put into a hat and all draw for "ot of conference" games. Your school(LSU) is in this conference I'm reffering to, so I would guarantee you would take up for them. All I was simply asking was are they really that good, or just because they aren't "great" teams and they all can beat each other, does that make them look better?? I understand what the polls say, but does that make it "correct"?? jamesS- Auburn,Alabama,Tennesse are big names that haven't done anything lately! Come on, think about it logically. Take off your Gator hat, scratch your head, get a big glass of sweet tea and really think about this one! Add Georgia to the "what have you done for me lately" list. Yes Arkansas played for the SEC Championship last year against Georgia, but who else could you put in that game, Auburn was your next choice....seriously, the SEC has the most "decent" teams, yes. But for them to be the "strongest", NO!

wow, no the SEC is not the best conf...the Big 10 is

You sound like some disgruntled Big 10 fan. I guess Michigan playing Appalachian St. and Ohio St. playing Youngstown St. make the Big 10 such a superior conference when scheduling "out of conference". You're a fvcking idiot.

WOW I WAS JUST THINKING THE SAME THING THIS MORNING

Yes and every one knows it.

Here's the deal on the SEC. There are teams in other conferences that may be better (USC, Texas, Michigan) but from top to bottom the SEC is better balanced. The bottom teams in the PAC10, Big12 and the Big10 are really bad teams. The bottom teams in the SEC are still good enough to beat most teams. And as far as OOC schedules, look at this weeks OOC schedule of the Big10, PAC10 etc. They all schedule easy.

O.K. this is an article from CBS sports about toughest and weakest schedule's in NCAA football. If you will notice, 4 of the top 5 teams play in the SEC. All schools schedule cupcake games. It is good for their records and good for the cupcake schools because they get paid tremendously. For God's sake, look at Ohio Sts schedule this year it is ridicules. Your argument has holes all in it and YES the SEC is the toughest conference. Toughest Schedules 1. Washington 2. LSU 3t. Kentucky 3t. Mississippi 3t. Mississippi State 6. Army 7t. UCLA 7t. Stanford 9. Oregon 10t. South Florida 10t. Cincinnati Easiest Schedules 119. Louisiana-Lafayette 118. Louisiana-Monroe 117t. Miami (Ohio) 117t. Central Michigan 117t. Temple 114. Arkansas State 113. Florida Int'l 112. Florida Atlantic 111. Memphis 110t. Ohio 110t. Toledo 110t. Eastern Michigan http://www.sportsline.com/collegefootball/story/10299697

Well, they certainly don't seek out tough non-conference competition. And there may be the odd year that other conferences are stronger. And there are certainly teams in every competition that could run just fine with the elite of the SEC. But still, year in and year out they have more really good teams than anyone else. And though they definitely have a few bad teams, they tend to have fewer than anyone else. **EDIT - Coach Lombardi...you make a lot of good points, and I essentially agree with you. Maybe you slightly overrated the Big-11 (relative to the other conferences), but no big deal. But you said a few things that don't make a lot of sense. UCLA and Washington have never contended for a national championship? Well, UCLA did win a championship way back, and both schools have been in serious contention for a national title a number of times. Though for Washington, those days are looking pretty distant. I can overlook that, but I can't believe that you would describe Alabama as being historically an SEC doormat. BAMA??? They're one of the top 5 programs in college football history...probably even in the top 2. They've had some good teams in recent years, and they also won a national title in the 90s, and challenged for a couple in the 80s. And they had this one coach back in the day...fella called Bryant. You might have heard of him.

Everyone with any sort of football mind knows, understands, and doesn't have to have explained to them the fact that the SEC is by far and away, the strongest conference in college football. By the way, the Pac-10 (aka: The Pac 1 + 9) sucks, they really, really suck. PS: Hey veggie, give us your input on the SEC. Please....

no big 10 is.

the sec is the best conference. heres how it goes: (just doing BCS) 1.SEC (a lot of good teams and a good many mediocre team) 2.Big 10 (4 good teams. Ohio St, Michigan, Wisconsin, Penn State 3.Pac10 (5 good teams. USC, Cal, UCLA, Oregon, Oregon State 4.Big 12 (2 good teams Texas and Oklahoma) 5.Big East (2 good teams West Virginia 2 ok teams Rutgers and USF) 6.ACC (1 good team VT) Everyone is saying "Oooo the Pac 10 sucks. Washington (whos in the Pac10 has the hardest schedule! Also there are 3 other Pac 10 Teams in the top 10 for hardest schedule!! Soo f-u-c-k all u LSU fans who say the Pac 10 sucks


11
you play 5-6 top 25 teams a year in conference. Usually atleast 2 of those are in top 10 or top 5. Compare that to anyone else conference schedule. Also every team in a decent conference schedules atleast two cupcake games a year. Look at Ohio states schedule, it's the biggest joke i have ever seen. They play 2 div 2 schools. Even the whole big ten crew on college gameday thinks SEC is strongest. And they all hate the SEC. There is more speed in the south, all other conferences have alot of starting players from the south. SEC just gets the first pick.


12
I think any of the BCS conferences have weaker opponents to fill in the gaps of the schedule. It makes the big schools serious money since the wanna-be football teams pay big so their fans and alumni can watch them play against "famous" competition. I still have to rank the SEC tops. They're deeper with more very good teams. Most conferences have three, four, maybe five teams that can play with anyone in the country. The SEC usually has eight or so that can give any team fits. I think the SEC is one of the rare conferences that can boast tradition AND the here-and-now.


13
The term "strongest conference" is thrown around a lot. I believe the SEC is the premier conference and I'll give you my reasons. There are always seven teams that could compete for a conference championship. Auburn, Arkansas, Alabama, Tennessee, Florida, Georgia, and LSU. When looking at there out of conference schedule, keep in mind there are no "gimme games" in the SEC schedule. Why would they go out and schedule a lot of ranked teams whenever they play such a tough conference schedule. (By comparison, USC has Stanford and Washington St. in their conference.)


14
The Difference in quality between conferences is the most overrated, over analyized thing in NCAA football. A bunch of games played in January, when everyone has at least a month off has very little relevance to how good the teams were in November. Hell, Ohio State played the championship game after like 52 days off. What other sport in the world do you have 2 months between the season and the championship? Those who would use the schedules as proof ( "look 5 of the top 25") seem to forget those are voted. They're not facts, they're opinions. As such, they are proof of nothing. The idea that if Michigan, Ohio St, USC or any other good team in the nation was in the SEC, they wouldn't survive is just fandom taking over reason. If LSU was in the Big Ten they might win this year, but they wouldn't dominate over a period of time, no one does in ANY conference. Any one who thinks the Big Ten is a joke should remember that Penn St was in the top 5 just about every year until they entered the conference. Every Conference will catch up to any team. The ACC took its toll on Miami and FSU. USC has lost 1 game out of conference in 5 years. They have lost to UCLA, Oregon St, and Cal while beating Arkansas and Auburn badly in that time. Does that mean the Pac 10s better? no it means they know USC better and can gameplan more effectively for them. There is a world of difference between beating a team you haven't played in 10 years on a neutral field and beating the same team when they know you, consider you a rival, and you travel to their place. Overall, I think the SEC is the best, but its a negligeble difference and its by no means every year.


15
If you say so, I believe it Just kidding the PAC 10 is better then the SEC.

SEC Five power house schools: Georiga, Florida, LSU, Auburn, and Tennessee. All schools that can contend for a conference and National Title year in and year out. All of which year in and year out have top ranked defenses. Three of which ranked in the top 10 total defense last year (Florida, Georgia, LSU) Four good/rising schools: Kentucky, South Carolina, Arkansas, and Alabama. All these schools have historically been SEC doormats. But with Steve Spurrier in South Carolina they are a team that won't finish with a great conference record but will beat up out of conference opponents. Bama has Saban now and historically is a very strong defensive school. Arkansas and Kentucky ussually aren't too good; but they have lined up enough talent to at least contend this season. Three mediocre schools: Ole Miss, Mississippi, and Vanderbilt. All three of these schools are improving but they can't improve enough to get through the dominate conference schedule that they face. Vandy improved alot the past couple years; but just not enough. PAC 10 One power house school: USC. Five good/rising schools: Cal, UCLA, Washinton, Oregon, and Oregon State. These schools are just good. Never really been great or contending for a national title; but they can hold their own against just about anyone in the country and have a chance to win. California is borderline National Power and this year they have as good of a shot as anyone in the Pac 10. UCLA is very good this year. The problem is defense. Which is way I don't count the Pac-10 as the best conference in football. But I will get to that later. As for Washington, Oregon, and Oregon State. All are good schools but not elite by any means. Four mediocre schoos: Washinton State, Arizona, Arizona State, and Stanford. None of these teams are very good. Arizona State being the best of the three. Consistentally lose to other teams out of conference. Don't have the numbers right in front of me but I doubt any of these schools won any more than 6 games last year. Stanford won what one game last year? Verdict: THE SEC! Five powerhouse schools that can beat anyone in any conference on any givin day. The Pac-10 is full of some very good schools, that have pretty good passing offenses...but the problem in the whose better argument is Pac-10 defense. The best ranked school in total defense for the Pac-10 was USC which ranked 23rd. Compared to 3 SEC Schools that finished in the top 10 Nationally. Next is Oregon at 30th and UCLA at 33rd. Most of the schools in the SEC play great defense. LSU, Georgia, Florida, Auburn, Alabama, and Tennessee all consistantly ranked in the top 25 in defense. That is the reason that the SEC always plays well in bowl games. Because they have already seen the toughest defenses that they are going to see all year; playing against roughly equal as good as offensive talent. The SEC is the best conference in football. Next its the Big 10. Pac-10; Big-12; ACC; and Big East can argue over whose next in line because I feel that in terms of overall talent top to bottom they are all pretty close to each other. *************EDIT: Correction. Didn't mean to put Bama as historical doormat. I meant that for the other 3 teams. Bama has been good and was a tradional power house but has fallen to just a solid team. As for UCLA and Washington...what have they done for us this decade? UCLA hasn't done much since 1997 when they finished 5th in the polls. They had a good season in 05 where they eeked out a bunch of close games but still in 05 they got blown out by Arizona 52-14. That is hardly the record of a team deserving to be in the Elite category. 99: 4-7 00: 6-6 01: 7-4 02: 8-5 03: 6-7 04: 6-7 05: 10-2 06: 7-5 As for Washington. 5-7 in 06. 2-9 in 05. 1-10 in 04....Do I really need to continue? There last good season was in 2000 when they won 9 games; back when USC was rebuilding and even then they got blown out by Miami 65-7 and lost to San Diego 47-43. I simply am not impressed with anyone outside of USC or Cal in the Pac-10. Sometimes the teams can put together a good season or two; but they play a few good schools and a lot of mediocre ones who will sometimes have a good season but will fall off the map.

What do you think of my story so far?

What do you think of my story so far?
High school, new school, new people, great. At first I thought a fresh start would be good for me. But, as I look out my window at the old, desolated school, I decide maybe a fresh start can wait. I’m from a small town, so I’m not used to the whole switching schools thing. My stomach cramped because of fear, I clutched my sleeve. I started tapping my fingers on the door handle. I don’t know why. I’m not even wanting to get out of the car. I just want to go back to my old house, curl up into a little ball on my bed and go to sleep. I let out a sigh. “Rachel,” I jumped, “Sweetie, I’m really sorry we had to move, but Dad’s job and all…” Mom tailed off. Mom was feeling sorry for me? I’m the one feeling sorry for her. Mom hasn’t lived outside of our old town since the day she was born. She wasn’t up for our move. Why did we move again? I can’t remember. Oh yeah, Dad works at this computer company. He’s worked there since I was about, um, 8 years old I think. He got sent to work at the center in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. I was born in Memphis, so was my mom, and dad’s from Murfreesboro. So Dad was up for the move, it being his home town and all. “Really mom,” I forced a smile, “I’ll be fine.” I looked over at the school, old, dull, boring looking school. We passed by large oak trees, their trunks were huge, biggest I’d ever seen. (Then again, I’m from Memphis, we don’t have many trees there. Just lot’s of buildings and houses) I watched their shadows over lap our car. Then the sun would peek back out through the trees massive branches and old, dead leaves that were still attached. We had out sun roof open, so I could smell the fresh cut grass. Green grass, and I do mean green, green. Like the dark color of Green you find in the crayon box’s, and you always use it when you color in your grass on the picture you drew. Then when you use all of the pretty green color up, you have to use that icky color of green that nobody likes. “Ok, but if you have any problems with bullying or you don’t like the classes your in…” I cut her off. She was going to start rambling and go in ‘over protective mom mode’. I hate that mode, but then again, who doesn’t? “Mom, have I ever had a problem with bullying?” I crossed my legs and looked at her. “No, but this school is a bit bigger than the one at our old town. More kids, and you don’t know anyone here, no one can stick up for you-” “Mom!” I groaned and turned my head out my car window, sulking. As we got closer to the school, the more I wanted to turn around and high tail it out here. But, I knew I couldn’t even if I wanted to. Since my Dad works in computer software, you have to move around a lot for that business. But he’s high up enough in the business where he can stay in one location, and not have to go across the world for some type of meeting. But this time the location was my Dad’s home town, so he wanted to go this time. So here we are. Yep. I didn’t mind moving, I can still go to my friends houses over the weekends, it’s not that far of drive. I’m sure I would get home sick and have to go back and see my old house at some point. I’ve only been to four different schools my entire life; my elementary, my middle, my old high school (I only got to go for freshmen year) and now this high school. And only lived in 2 different houses my whole life; my old house in Memphis, and now this house here. “Ok, ok. Fine.” She parked the car, and got out. I, however, sat in the car looking at the school. About a million thoughts went through my mind at once. The first one I thought about sent a wave of nervousness over me, Principals. I saw the principal of the school. She was short, curly black hair that stopped at her shoulders. She was standing at the school doors, waving. Waving. Not the kind of wave that welcomes you into the school, the normal wave. She was waving like she was trying to flag us down, make sure we saw her. It was imposable not to, she started waving with both arms, yes, arms. I smacked my forehead and groaned. Why me? Of people in this world, why me? Everything bad always happens to me, I’m the unlucky one of the family. We’re Cherokee and Irish (then some other stuff I can‘t ever remember). “Double the luck” my Papa would always say. Luck of the Irish and luck of out Cherokee ancestors. I’ve never heard of lucky Cherokee’s, I’m pretty sure he just made it up. You know, so he could go around saying “Double the luck.” That’s my Papa for ya’. He’s why I have that hint of red in my hair. I snapped back in to reality when my mom nudged my shoulder. “Come on…” My mom opened the door for me, probably knowing that if she didn’t open the door, I never would. It’s not like I’m in a rush to meet the Principal. Who would be anyway? She was wearing a bright red top with a denim skirt. Yeah, it sounds like it would go together. But the texture of the top just made her look like she belonged in a circus. I keep my mouth shu

-You switched tenses in the beginning. -I think you meant 'trailed off' not 'tailed off'. -I didn't read any further than the first two paragraphs because it is just too unoriginal; the whole new kid moving and dealing with a new school shindig... -Also, you are telling way too much way too soon. I understand it is first person, but the character is so informal that it is kind of annoying. With her say "um" and "Why did we move again? I can’t remember. Oh yeah..." is odd. She really didn't remember or is she being sarcastic? I think you need more description to tell the story instead of the character just spilling the beans.

My family is always trying to make me look and feel stupid? And are mean to me?
My mom and step dad always call me a dumb*** cause I'm clumbsy. And my papaw thinks I'm stupid and that I run into things on purpose when I don't. I run into things cause I don't see them...everything is like an invisible wall to me. And they're always calling me stupid cause I have dirty blonde-brown hair. Yet I'm smart, one of the smartest in class, but just not common sense smart. And my little sister is a kiss up, and she's OCD, like the rest of the family. But I'm the only one that isn't, and they are always like "Why can't you be like your sister?! She's outgoing and has good work ethic." But I'm shy, and I have good work ethic. And they don't know what she does. We're not allowed to date, which we do anyway....but I don't tell people. She tells our family when she has a boyfriend and doesn't get introuble for it. And they think she's better than me, but she's a little weakling that thinks she needs a man to count on and live. She got on her knees and begged this on guy to date her! And she always says she could never live without guys, and she's just annoying. Like she over shadows me. It's like I'm the odd outkast of the family. I read, I'm not cocky and confident, I like rock, screamo, hip-hop, metal, christian rock, metal and hip-hop. and they all like the opposite. And I'm the only pale one. I always try my hardest in school. I actually want to go to college. None of my family did. I'm not real girly. All of my family are Jehovah's witness, But I'm like closer to Pentecostal, except don't wear skirts. All the girls in my family dress like tramps, I don't. I'm like the odd one out in my family. And I'm more stable than them. And my nana and mom try to control my life, like, "You are going to UT Knox, it's the closest to home, cause there is no way you're going to University or Memphis." But I don't want to go to either, I want to go to Arizona. I just don't want to speak up. I want to get away from them is why I want to go to Arizona...not anywhere in Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, Mississippi, etc. But I'm in 7th grade I don't need to worry about that. But anyways, They always call me stuff and talk to me slowly like I'm mentally retarded and stuff. I can't speak up cause I don't want to get grounded. What do I do? Advice pleaseeee. sorry if it's too long They will just laugh if I say I want to go to Arizona for college...cause right now I am in 7th grade. They even laughed when I said I wanted to be a Special Victim's Unit Detective a few days ago.

Sorry for what you are experiencing. God will surely help you. I think your problem is not something that can be handle by a simple answer online. I will advice you to talk to a pastor, because you need some counseling and guidance. Have you talk to a minister already? If not try to do that, ok?

I'm from a pretty close family, but I agree with the first response to your question. You're going to need to show independence. I know it's rough because you're a little quiet and shy. There's absolutely no shame in that. You're different than the rest of them. Celebrate your difference! Revel in the fact that you're different! You may want to check out some classes in dealing with shyness. You also mentioned that you run into things because you don't see them. Uh, my friend, you should get your vision, etc, checked out. You'll want to nip that in the bud before it gets worse.

Stand up for yourself. Don't be scare. They walk all over you because they think your a push over and people will take advantage of that. Put your foot down tell them where your applying for college (good luck by the way), and let them know it's your choice not theirs. The world is hard when you get out on your own and if you don't start to learn to be strong and stand up for yourself now it's going to be a lot harder after you move out and go to college. You think your family is hard now. Good luck!

Knoxville, TN... Want to stay here, but can I? (College question)?
I am a junior in high school right now and i decided to seriously look into some career choices. Right now I am considering becoming a pharmacist. I live in Knoxville TN and I really like it here, so I decided that I want to go to school not too far away.. After looking at some colleges I found out that UT Knoxville (University of Tennessee) offers a pretty good pre-pharmacy program but to go to pharmacy school I might have to go live in Memphis, which I'm not very eager to do. So I was just wondering... Is it possible to take the same classes that I would be taking in Memphis here in Knoxville and only go to Memphis for a semester or two? thank you to everyone who had the patience to read this. =D

Hi, I'm in Memphis. It's not all bad... the school is great... although I cannot WAIT to get the hell out of here...

I don't know if this helps, but Belmont U in Nashville has started a pharmacy program. The tuition will be higher than UT because it is a private school, but at least it is a lot closer than Memphis. You might also check which VA and NC schools have pharmacy programs. Sometimes when you live near the state border, they give you in-state tuition. Worth checking on. Good luck.

What undrafted rookies is your team interested in or has already signed?

What undrafted rookies is your team interested in or has already signed?
The Ravens been reported to have agreements with the following: http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/sports/ravens/blog/2010/04/unofficial_list_of_undrafted_rookie_agreements.html Morgan Cox Long snapper, Tennessee A three-year long snapper at the SEC school. Cox was the long-snapper for the South at the Senior Bowl, which boosted his status. There are questions about his size (6-3, 248 pounds). Albert McClellan Outside linebacker, Marshall Undersized and athletic but lacks strength. He likely will be converting from a college defensive end. McClellan was a team captain at Marshall. Prince Miller Cornerback, Georgia The former Mr. Football in South Carolina wasn’t expected to be drafted. The 5-9, 192-pound defender had only one interception in his college career. He averaged 11.9 yards on 19 punt returns. Curtis Steele Running back, Memphis Tough runner who averaged 6.3 yards per carry and scored 15 touchdowns last season. His lack of size (5-10, 194) doesn’t make him an effective insider runner. Steele was a team captain at Memphis. Josh Morris Cornerback, Weber State Morris tied a school record with 26 pass deflections and made seven interceptions in 34 games. The 6-foot, 180-pound defender was first team All-Big Sky Conference as a junior and a senior. A transfer from Northeastern Oklahoma, Morris reportedly has 4.45 speed in the 40. He also was known as the team barber. Mike McLaughlin Middle linebacker, Boston College The most high-profile undrafted rookie agreement for the Ravens so far. McLaughlin is a solid prospect who was expected to be drafted in the fifth or sixth round. A two-year captain, McLaughlin is known as a vocal on-field leader. His reckless, hard-hitting style has led to injuries. The biggest knock is his lack of speed. For anyone disappointed with the Ravens not taking any CBs in the draft, notice there are 2 in the list. Hopefully they pan out like some of the past undrafted rookies did. Ozzie knows his stuff.

Steelers: OG Dorrian Brooks- James Madison S Da'Mon Cromartie-Smith- UTEP OT Kyle Jolly- North Carolina FB Demetrius Taylor- Virginia Tech DT Cordarrow Thompson- Virginia Tech C/G A.J. Trump- Miami (Fla.) We drafted a couple of o-lineman, & obviously Kevin Colbert & the rest of the Steelers front office felt the need to stock pile on a few more. Glad they addressed the o-line positions.

Question about the FAFSA, TN residents preferably?

Question about the FAFSA, TN residents preferably? Ok, so I'm a high school senior getting ready to graduate in May and am preparing to fill out the FAFSA. I'm the oldest of 3 and so my parents and I really have NO idea as to what to do. I know there's that website and all, but that doesn't change the fact we don't know what to do. My dad is saying the he won't get all his W2 forms and such until at least February and the deadline for an financial aid that my school offers is March 1st. U of Memphis just to clarify. Also, I'm not sure how much, if any, aid I qualify for. My parents have both said to forget about any aid because of how much my dad makes, but right now we can't even afford for me to take a couple Dual Credit classes at my high school. I know I've already got a $3000 academic scholarship lined up at Memphis and the HOPE scholarship when I get it (I live in Tennessee) which will be $7000. Overall, I'm pretty lost when it comes to figuring out what to do. HELP PLEASE!! I REALLY DON'T WANT TO MISS OUT ON SOME AID Financial Aid - 2 Answers Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions : 1 It will be okay if you wait for dad to get his W2 forms, but you need to def get it submitted before that March deadline. Aim for Valentines day (prod your parents to do taxes early). It will be well worth the effort to fill it out, even if you don't qualify for any grants most scholarship programs require you to fill it out anyway and it is how your school will issue you an award letter. Here is a good publication. 2 The fafsa will ask "are you going to file an income tax return". Your parents can answer this question yes, estimate their income and you can file the fafsa to meet the state deadline. Once the tax return has been completed, you should do a correction/update to the correct information. Your father should not automatically assume you will not qualify for aid and I strongly encourage you to apply-and make the state deadline.

Try calling the newspaper in Somerville or the closest decent-sized town. Even if you can't find it in their archive, they may be able to tell you what happened.

AMES S COOLEY 11 Feb 197404 May 2000 (P)(72)(none specified)413-06-0761TennesseeSS-5 Letter Add Post-em Search Ancestry.com Your dates are good, the issue is that the location of residence is not specified in the social security death index. It confirms that he got his ss card in Tenn which it seems you already know. I find Peebles Fayette county funeral home in an old directory 901-465-3535. From the wording of your question.. seems that you are relying on online sources, which are great..IF THEY HAVE your info. Online sources are not complete in any sense of the word. One possible reason for lack of an obituary, James was young, and perhaps the cause of death was accident or suicide. Or, not everyone HAS an obituary, since those now seem to be for a fee. For courtesy reasons, suicides (if it was) are not published as such for the feelings of the family. On the other hand, I did find the social security index entry. I have 25+ yrs of experience.. and trust me, there are many times that others can find what I have missed. Sometimes it is just "double checking". My first step would be CALL or write this funeral home directly. If this is where family is, it is more likely he was there. It is not impossible he was cremated, hence there may be no cemetery listing. edit- http://www.wdbj.net/fayette/biblist/index.html#Funeral%20Home%20&%20Cemetery%20Records long list of resources for this county... but notice that many are book form, and also, that overall, they contain historical records. James is very recent.

The high school either doesn't have a web site or the kids messed it up so badly that it doesn't come up in the top 40 Google hits. I was going to suggest ou go to the site, click on "Alumni" and see if his class had page. If it did, someone might know something. You can still call the school, or write them a letter in an envelope and ask if the class of 1992 has a reunion committee. If they do, the chair may know something, or may send out a monthly e-mail update or . . .

Who's gonna make it to the Final Four?

Who's gonna make it to the Final Four?
#1 Ohio St? #3 Wisconsin? #4 UCLA? #5 Memphis? #6 Florida? #8 North Carolina? #10 Nevada? #24 Winthrop? My picks for the Final Four between these 10 schools would be. Wisconsin, Memphis, Florida and Nevada. Ohio State is a overrated team that is much like Tennessee, if they can't hit their trips then they're beat! UCLA I wouldn't be surpised to see them back in the Final Four again this year but the only reason I didn't pick them as one of my choices is because I haven't seen 'em play. North Carolina & Winthrop? Well we'll just have to see how North Carolina does tomorrow night, they're gonna get a good test. Winthrop is like UCLA I have no idea! Oops I thought North Carolina played someone else tomorrow I forgot about FSU. What a blow out this will be!

Ohio St Florida UCLA and Txas with Texas winning it


4
Ohio St., Kansas, maybe Wisconsin, and Memphis(if they play up to their potential).


5
Kansas- they're goin all the way, no doubt UCLA- theyve got potential, they made it last year, i think they could make it again Texas A&M- Acie Law's on fire but cant say that i like the team. Texas(maybe)- they're good but u cant just rely on 1 person to do all the work for the team(durant) Nevada- They've had to easy of a schedule Ohio st.- same thing as Texas, it's a one man team( greg oden) Florida- They cant even handle their own confrence, how r they gonna make it to the Final 4??? Memphis- They look good, they have consitency UNC- they seem to be in a bit of a slump, but i think they'll do good


6
I think there are 10 teams that have a chance to win it all.. 1.North Carolina- very young but talented 2. Florida- Defending champs and are very experienced 3. Kansas- Playing very well in the Big 12 now 4. Texas A&M - have the best player in the nation in Acie Law 5. UCLA- the loss today vs Cal hurt, but they will be ok 6. Ohio State- the fab freshman can lead the to the final four 7. Wisconsin- Alando Tucker is one of the best all-around players in the nation 8. Georgetown- playing very well toward the end of the year, especially today vs Villanova 9. Memphis- no one really knows much about them but they are very talented 10. Pittsburgh- if they can win the Big East tournament, look for them to be tough to beat come next week.

1. North Carolina... Roy Williams has too much young talent on this team not to make it to the final four.. with Hansbrough being the only unanimous all acc pick for the second straight year.. you have to like the chances... 2. Wisconsin... i like Alondo Tucker's aggressiveness and think he's tired of hearing.. "Oden this and Oden that" BIG chip on his shoulder right now. 3. Florida.. defending champs and returning all starters?? come on.. yea they have been in a slump.. but look at their losses... Vandy.. at vandy... ranked 2nd in sec.. Tennessee.. at Tennessee who by the way was 3rd in sec and undefeated at home... i despise the gators but think they are good enough to make another run. 4. Texas A&M... acie law has been as clutch as any other player this year.. watch for the aggies making a run.. Honorable mention... Memphis.. lacking depth.. Ohio state.... not enough other than Oden.. on the decline.. UCLA.. afflalo is off his game.. big hurt for the bruins....Duke.. not having henderson today really hurt the dukies... but dont EVER count coach K out in the month of March sleeper pick... from the sleeper conference.. watch for USC and Oregon.. aaron brooks has been just as clutch as law this year.. dont put it past the ducks or the trojans this year...

Duke is extremely unlikely, and UCLA is very unlikely unless you are a California resident. Of the others, UNC and UTex are the hardest, but you have a reasonable chance of getting into all of them unless San Diego State decides to restrict admissions to California residents only

Southeast US: Which states do you like/not care for? Why?

Southeast US: Which states do you like/not care for? Why?
For me Like: 1. Texas (homey feeling, friendly, hot (sometimes too hot,) multicultural, cool cities, etc.) 2. Oklahoma (very midwestern, but has southern hospitality) 3. Mississippi (love the people, sweet accents, cuisine) 4. Alabama (like MS, except just a little more expensive) 5. Tennessee (Nashville, Memphis, Smokies, Oak Ridge all great places; friendly, beautiful) 6. North Carolina (although infiltrated by yankee transplants, the scenery is incredible) 7. South Carolina (Upcountry is a neat area, many old south courtesies still intact) 8. Georgia (decent enough outside Atlanta; Athens is nice) 9. Arkansas (the people, but not the scenery) Not like: 10. West Virginia (those people are OK, but they weird me out) 11. Virginia (no longer the South, rushed like NYC/Boston/DC) 12. Florida (at least its warm, but one of the rudest places I've ever been. Don't go unless I have to) 13. Kentucky (Used to live there. Poor economy, terrible people and drivers, bad schools) All in all, I love this part of the country, and wouldn't live anywhere else!

I like most of the southern states except for one: Florida. I lived in Florida for about 14 years and it was the most horrific experience of my entire life. Too hot and humid. The wages stunk,cost of living was very expensive. People were very rude. Too many stupid rednecks(like there's any smart ones).Anything metal rusted real easy. Prices of food would go up in the winter when all the "snowbirds'" would come down from up north. I'm so glad I finally moved back to my beloved Colorado.

According to the AAMC, the MD-granting accredited medical school is: University of Tennessee Health Science Center College of Medicine 62 South Dunlap, #400 Memphis, TN, 38163 In the medical training world, medical school is considered undergraduate medical education, and residency is graduate medical education. (Which gets confusing since in the broader, non-medical sense college is undergraduate education and med school is a graduate school.) A quick glance at the Knoxville site looks like it is where UT's residency and fellowship (ie graduate) programs are based.
