  1. I'm kind of concerned about Gipson going into the game on D without the coaches knowing??!!  What the heck is that all about?  Do these coaches have any control over this team or are the players running it?

    AMEN!!

    In the second half with the Bulls' secondary tiring, Gipson took it upon himself and entered the game at cornerback - without the coaches' knowledge.

    "Somebody said they were tired, so I just went out there,'' Gipson said.  "I was just trying to help the team.''

    That is very scary. Maybe I can sneak on for a series against USM.

  2. About as far as it (you) could possibly be my friend.

    And while adjustments will be made, the staff won't stray from the Bulls' no-huddle spread offense, according to Hobbie.

    "You can make changes," Hobbie said, "but usually it's counter-productive to start making wholesale changes. You look at what you do wrong and ask yourself, "How far off is it?' You go through a whole year of deciding the overall scheme and you invest a lot into it, so you're not just going to chuck it.

    "It may be that you might be asking the guys to do too much and they're making too many mistakes." Leavitt seems willing to try anything.

    Huh?! He seems willing to try anything? He hasn't tried anything but blaming the players and making changes there. How about re-evaluating the system and the coordinator? Oh, I guess that not just 'anything.'

  3. Son's injury has Hixons 'anxious'

    By MIKE ORGAN

    If anyone ever realized the risk of injury on the football field, it is Stan Hixon.

    Hixon spent a quarter of a century coaching the sport on the high school and college level before landing a job this past year as the receivers coach for the Washington Redskins.

    But knowing it could happen hasn't made the severe injury Hixon's son, Drew, suffered in the second quarter of Tennessee Tech's game Saturday at South Florida any easier to deal with.

    The Hixon family has kept a close watch on Drew, 22, who has been in a medically induced coma since arriving at St. Joseph's Hospital in Tampa Saturday night.

    ''The doctors tell us it's day-to-day and will be week-to-week,'' Stan Hixon said yesterday. ''It could be a long process. Our family is anxious for something to happen. We know that God is in control and He'll answer our prayers.''

       

    Drew Hixon suffered a brain injury and is relying on a ventilator for his breathing.

    Some positive signs have been detected the last two days, though Hixon has not regained consciousness. Doctors have lowered his blood pressure medicine and some slight movement has been detected while he sleeps.

    While preparing his team for Sunday's game against the New York Giants, Redskins Coach Joe Gibbs said his staff and players are keeping the Hixons in their thoughts and prayers.

    ''We've just been in real prayer for him and the family, the team has, and we're just praying that (Drew) is going to make a quick recovery,'' Gibbs said in a statement released by the hospital.

    Redskins owner Daniel Snyder called Stan Hixon and sent the team's chaplain, Brett Fuller, to be with the family in Tampa.

    Stan Hixon, who spent the previous four years on the staff at LSU, said his son, who is 5 feet 10, 181 pounds, realized the dangers associated with playing football.

    On a third-down play, Drew Hixon suffered a hit from South Florida safety Javan Camon and then a helmet-to-helmet collision with cornerback Mike Jenkins after making a catch. Hixon's helmet was knocked off during the play, but he did hold onto the ball.

    Jenkins told the Tampa Tribune he thought Hixon saw him coming before the hit.

    ''I was surprised he didn't make a cut,'' said Jenkins, whose lip was cut in the collision. ''It looks like I caught him under the chin. Everybody wants a big hit, but you really don't wish that on anybody.''

    ''Injuries do happen and they are a part of the game,'' Stan Hixon said. ''Football is a contact sport, and there are going to be collisions. It's all just a part of the game.''

    Rebecca Hixon, Drew's mother, said she witnessed the play, but didn't believe the injury was as serious as it turned out to be.

    ''I didn't see his helmet come off,'' Rebecca Hixon said. ''I've seen a lot of football and honestly I don't hold my breath when Drew is playing. I never thought that an injury like that would happen to him. Drew has never been injured before. I do pray before each game for both sides.''

    Rebecca Hixon sent a message to the Tennessee Tech football team earlier this week encouraging the players to win tomorrow's game at VMI for Drew.

    Drew is a senior majoring in finance. He was set to graduate in December. His father said he was considering a career in banking, football coaching, or possibly a front office job in the NFL.

    ''Drew's life has been football,'' Rebecca Hixon said. ''Even as a toddler he watched film with his dad.''

    Tennessee Tech Assistant Athletic Director Randy Smith is with the Hixon family in Tampa and is keeping the team updated.

    ''We tell the players and the coaches every day about Drew's condition,'' Smith said. ''Our coach (Mike Hennigan) is doing a good job with the players. We just hope everything turns out OK. When we play this weekend we'll be thinking about Drew every second.''

  4. it could be raining.

    "It's the worst tackling I've seen us ever do," co-defensive coordinator Wally Burnham said. "We got beat deep a couple of times, let the quarterback out of the pocket, all the things you can't do. We're very disappointed, and I didn't have any idea we were going to play that badly. We've got to regroup and go to work."

    USF Defense: "We'll make you famous!"

    USC sophomore quarterback Syvelle Newton is swarmed by the media after stealing the spotlight in the Gamecocks’ victory against South Florida. Newton accounted for three scores.

    I was only kidding, it couldn't be worse. Worst USF team ever, but they are still Bulls and young ones at that. They will improve but this year is already toast so get some strawberry jam and a cup coffee to help you swallow it.
