2011 Fact or Fiction

[Riddickulous]

Since we're looking at a dead period for the next couple of months (at least on the non-recruiting, non-Michael Floyd front), we'll probably need something fun or semi-interesting to occupy our time. Thus we come to this...Fact or fiction.

One poster will make a statement about a player, an aspect of the team, or the team in general. The next poster will respond to the statement by either agreeing with it (fact) or disagreeing with it (fiction), with reasoning to back it up. Then they will make their own statement, the next poster responds, and the cycle continues.

An example:

Poster A: "Fact or Fiction: Bruce Heggie will win the Heisman Trophy, the Bednarik Award, the Walter Camp Award, the Grammy for Artist of the Year, the Nobel Prize for Literature, and American Idol 2012."
Poster B: "Fact. It's practically inevitable. Fact or Fiction: Roby Toma will have 1,000 yards receiving."

And so on...
