  1. I'd like to see a team go for the jugular when they get the lead. No turtling up in this game.
  2. This, mostly. But I will be up early Saturday morning getting the ribs in the smoker. Not sure how many will be at the tailgate. Jamie Byrd's grandmother is friends with my sister-in-law and a FAMU grad, so we'll be hosting a few of her old college friends. Ribs in the smoker sound great. I'm throwing a boston butt on the Egg Friday night and looking forward to some pulled pork sammiches at the tailgate.
  3. What a great opportunity for Quinton. I hope he grabs a hold of the position for the next 3 years.
  4. 2 true freshmen and a redshirt freshman on the 3 deep at slot...
  5. Ok. I'll be the Debbie Downer here. Yes--I'm looking forward to another college football season, because it's the only sport that gets my juices going. As far as our beloved Bulls, I have no expectations or any optimism regarding this season other than to watch it unfold. I have been sucked in to the preseason hype the last 3 seasons and I refuse to let that happen again. From the power O offense and Harbaugh connection to being the Bullies of the gridiron to last season believing all the personal bests in the weight room. Let's not forget that CWT has more slogans and gimmicks than wins...the bus, the blue collar shirts, the team etc.... All that being said. I renewed my season tickets and will be in my seats before 7pm Saturday night after a nice tailgate with my family and friends. Willie T and the Bulls are going to have to earn my optimism as I will no longer give it out blindly. Lastly, Go Bulls!!
  6. Nice article and it all sounds great but like Al Davis said...just win baby!
  7. Tags is canned at some point during the season and Tom Allen will be interim HC by the end of the season.
  8. Best part of that video was the look on Skip Holtz's face at the end.
  9. What I saw on Saturday in Steven Bench was a QB who made some nice throws and some poor decisions who also had a nice TD run. What I saw on Saturday in Quinton Flowers was a RB trying to play QB.
  10. No... it's confirmation bias. People expect Flowers to suck, so the few people on here who have actually been to a practice, they see more of the bad plays than they see of the good plays... bad plays reinforce their opinion. These same people also think that Woulard will be our savior... so they see more of the good plays, and less of the bad ones. Then for the vast majority of people who have not seen a practice, they get their perspective reinforced further... they laugh at people who say something that goes against their belief... and they give more credibility to people who say what they are expecting. People who have not been to a practice should really take everything (pro or con) with a grain of salt... and be sure they aren't just agreeing with people who think like them. Exactly ... Nobody on here has been to every open practice and watched every throw. So the only ones who will have a really informed opinion will be the coaches. Either one starting is fine with me. If it's close start the senior with more experience. If they're going to rely on the qb as more of a rb than passer, go with Q. One quirky little personal comparison I had was in BJ's true FR year, he got in for a few plays. Somewhere ratlling around the echo chamber of my brain, I remembered hearing that one of the toughest throws to master was a deep down and out to the sideline. BJ executed one of those beautifully and I simplistically thought then that, just based on that one throw, we'd be fine when MG was gone. Q executed one of those in one of the practices I went to and it immediately brought back that memory .... obviously different circumstances but I can't control what my memory conjures up .... and now you know the rrrrest of the story. If I also hadn't seen QF 3 hop a screen pass on more than one occasion, I'd think the same way. I think a 3 hop screen pass is a physical impossibility so I'm calling ******** ... Ok. It was a 2 hop screen pass...
  11. One more thing from the scrimmage. There was much more energy enthusiasm coaching encouraging going on on the defense side f the field. Tom Allen and the other coaches were yelling and encouraging the whole time. The defense was a lot more fired up than the offense. The offense side was like a church picnic. If CWT doesn't work out I wouldn't mind Tom Allen taking over.
