Damn right, I said it. And I can say it because I saw it.

The San Diego State Aztecs lost Saturday afternoon to the No. 1 team in the country. You think I care what the polls say? You think it bothers me that every so-called expert in the nation would disagree with me?

Florida, Oklahoma, USC, Cal, and Penn State are all knocking down Stills’ door hoping to catch his eye. As a nod to his receiver’s brilliance, Stills told 619 Sports after the game that many of the formations the Mavericks use are named after the different schools seeking his services next year:
