Perhaps there are some out there who, like me, haven't commented because
they 1) don't feel they can make an accurate comparison between conferences
or 2) don't feel it's important to determine which conference is the *best*.
If there was one conference that was obviously head and shoulders above the
others, it would be interesting to discuss what makes them better (ie.
coaching, recruiting, geography, etc.)  But, IMHO, this thread
is just another version of the old "mine is better than yours" discussion,
and I don't find that very interesting.
