RUTS3 Draft Just Days Away

As the RUTS3 Draft Order Announcement Video and Team Draft-o-rama Extravaganza-Galore draws closer, the national media and internet message boards are all speculating as to where the talented crop of 8 free agent video-gamers will be coaching this season.

RUTS3 coaches have been frantically scouting each interested team, looking for the right mix of style, substance, and number of uniform options.

National media and internet message boards have been buzzing for two weeks now, desperate for any inside information on where these coaching legends will be headed.

Rumor of the Day: Coach UTVOL54 to replace Joe Pa??!!

Coach utvol27, who led Clemson to 4 consecutive national titles in RUTS1, was rumored to have been considering a return trip to the Tigers. However, as early as yesterday, sources close the situation confirmed that Clemson is not in the mix and that Coach utvol27 wants a new challenge.

Coach StuBucksman, who grew up an Alabama fan, has said on record that he'd certainly listen to any offer from Alabama Athletic Director Mal Moore, but that he will go where the money is. The Iowa State Cyclones reportedly offered Stu the richest coaching contract in the history of the world, at 5 years $1.6 billion, but Stu has not accepted the position yet, leading many to believe that he's A) crazy for not taking the $$, and B) wanting to head to a campus that has a legit shot at winning from day 1.

There are some definite wildcards in the coaching shuffle. Coach ZeeJayDee improved his stock drastically in RUTS2, and if he is able to secure a high draft pick, he could be headed to a team that could make a lot of noise from day 1. In addition, RUTS newcomer Coach StinVol's talents are a definite unknown. Does he have what it takes to motivate a team and contend with the constant trash talking that is sure to transpire in RUTS? Coaches EBDial and ChrisHicks21, who made their RUTS debut last year in the NFL, have never coached in the college game, and their recruiting abilities, as well as their tolerance of dealing with annoying "helicopter parents" will be tested early.

Here is the official rundown of events for the RUTS3 Team Draft:
