Coming to a Radio Show Near You!

June 2nd, 2011 No comments

After the magazine went off to the press in Mid-May, I have spent the last couple of weeks going over each individual game for the upcoming year. I looked at all the history between the teams, read the last two years of past histories for the matchups and then analyze the matchup to see if there are any mismatches (big, strong O-Line vs small, weak DL, etc). Now that I’m officially done with each and every game, this week officially starts my radio season in which I do nearly 400 radio shows across the country over the next couple of months.

Check out our radio shows page to see when I will be doing a radio show near you. Also new this year is that we will have a mp3 recording of nearly all the shows so in case you missed the show you will still be able to hear me on the PhilSteele.com site. So if you’re a Florida Gator fan living in Ohio or a Buckeye fan living in Florida you can listen to me breakdown your favorite team regardless of where you live. Read more…

Magazine Update!

May 16th, 2011 1 comment

Now that the magazine is sent off to the publisher we will be featuring a blog every day Monday thru Friday and a weekend blog now until the start of football season!

It was a rough magazine season as we wanted to get the magazine off to the printers on Wednesday and did not get it done until Friday afternoon. We will now be focusing our attention to the FCS preview and the NFL magazine.

Two years ago we put a full color NFL magazine onto the newsstands for the first time and it exceeded my expectations picking 7 of the 8 division winners correctly and we were the ONLY National Preview to pick the Super Bowl Champion New Orleans Saints to win the NFC South with all others picking Atlanta or Carolina!

These teams have a rich history with LSU having a 26-20-3 advantage with the last meeting in ‘95. The bowl is a 3 hr drive from College Station and A&M has played Ark in this stadium the L/2Y (0-2). After a 3-3 start which saw ?’s about HC Sherman’s future the Aggies rallied for 6 straight wins to secure their 1st Cotton Bowl invite S/’04. It is the Aggies 12th Cotton Bowl overall where they’re 4-7. Miles suffered his 1st bowl loss at LSU (4-1) LY 19-17 to Penn St in a muddy Capital One Bowl. This is LSU’s 1st trip to the Cotton Bowl S/’02 so there should be a strong following.
The Big 12’s pressn OPY QB Johnson had shoulder surgury which limited his offseason participation and seemed out of sync in Sept behind a rebuilt OL. After Johnson became A&M’s all-time ydg leader vs KU he was benched for bkup WR Tannehill. Tannehill was efficient (235, 65%, 11-3) in the L/6 and his ability to get rid of the ball quickly helped the OL as he was sk’d just 10x in his 5 sts vs 25 in Johnson’s 7. Michael and Gray shared TB carries until Michael was OFY vs TT. Gray took over running for 100+ in the L/6 becoming A&M’s 1st 1,000 yd rusher S/’03. A&M has my #19 off and #24 defense. New DC DeRuyter moved the Ags back to the 3-4 the same formation as the legendary Wrecking Crew. The LB unit (top 4 tkl’rs) was the Big 12’s best led by Butkus Winner Miller. A&M finished #1 in the league in rush D thanks to their DL whose job is to clog rush lanes. The Ags are #11 pass eff D (241, 61%, 16-15). The ST’s were a disappointment at #67 with the B12’s worst net P (34.2). K Bullock hit 15-19 but was just 2-3 from 40+.
LSU has had another strange season in which they started out 7-0 climbing to #6 in the AP poll before a loss to Auburn. Miles was said to be on the hotseat early in the season especially after a near-loss to Tenn in which UT rec’d a fmbl’d snap with no time left, but LSU RB Ridley scored the GW TD on an untimed down after UT was called for 13 men on the field. The criticism waned after upsets of FL and AL, but losing the finale to Ark has restarted the fire-Les Miles talk again. Miles was forced to alternate QB’s all yr as Jefferson is the better runner and Lee the better passer but Lee only had 6 att in the L/2 gms. Ridley was a nice surprise and the RB’s stayed healthy TY. On defense LSU is #13 in my pass D rankings all’g 166 ypg (56%) with a 12-16 ratio led by Thorpe/Bednarik winner CB Patrick Peterson. Peterson also helped the ST earn their #4 ranking as a standout RS. LSU also has AA PK Jasper who also helps P Helton as the 2 comb for a 43.6 avg and 39.2 net. Read more…

I think it will be interesting to see who the computer picks to win the yardage battle and see if they win the game. In my College Football magazine I have the plus and minus ratings.
