Does anyone have any idea how the teams are picked, because some schools that you would think are from the “south” are on the “north” team, and vice versa. Nothing on the website, either.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.
Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.
Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.
Weird. Rome has an American Pope and America has a Russian President.
Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.
If you’re gonna whine, it’s time to resign!
The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.
Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.
if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

That meeting sounds like a shotgun wedding between a shitshow and a clusterfuck.
We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.
American history and black history cannot be separated.
Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.
I’d like to think you all would remain faithful to me if i ever tried to have some of you killed.
America is going up in flames. The NYTimes fawns over MAGA celebrities. No longer a real newspaper.

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it is not glory.
She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.
Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?
The way to stop violence is to stop manufacturing the hatred that fuels it.
Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.
The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

The players are picked based on their rankings by pro scouts as well as some NFL teams can specifically ask for certain guys to be included. You have to also understand that many times guys back out of the game at the last minute and have to be replaced. Also some positions like Quarterback are so important that they don’t care about where they are from. Especially if say 2 or 3 of them are expected to go high. Because if they stuck them on the same team then you wouldn’t get to see enough of any of them. Its like this every year though. Especially with west coast players. Sometimes you have no idea where they will end up.

For years and years, the South team was every Alabama and Auburn senior starter plus most other prominent SEC players, filled out with other standouts in the southeast. The North was everyone else. As you might expect, the team drawn from 70+% of the country kicked the home team’s ass around 70% of the time. I have no idea when that changed since I moved away from Mobile 15 years ago, but I’m not surprised that they have evened up the teams and made it more competitive.

Are we this football starved, that we’re watching… college all-star "exhibitions"?
What next… the WVU Blue-Gold game?

You might be interested in the documentary "Two Days In April" which provides some behind the scenes coverage of how players are selected for the Senior Bowl, as well as what players go through at the Senior Bowl itself. It’s a major pre-draft event. The film is available for instant viewing on Netflix.

I’d forgotten Senior Bowl football game was today until I turned on my TV today to watch pro trampoline basketball, and discovered to my annoyance that it got preempted by the Senior Bowl game.

All I know is that the Senior Bowl is a blast if you happen to be in Mobile. Nice way to get ready for Mardi Gras.

No idea, but did you see Pat White? Doubters beware, baby. So proud of him. :-)

I know. I see a South Florida player was listed for the North squad…
Without looking at the rulebook, the only thing I can think of is that the squads are divided by conferences: SEC to the South, Big East to the North, that sort of thing.

I believe it is based on relative sales of grits vs. cream of wheat in the Denny’s franchise nearest the selected player’s campus.

Bingo, Ricky has bingo!
