Tulane's stadium is an excellent high school stadium. One of my favorite road trips, though.

I'll watch if he gets any real PT...otherwise, likely not. Glad he is back on the active roster.

I'm late to the debate, so while I can't speak to everyone on the thread, I'll share my POV. I grew up fairly poor, raised by a single mom. I was embarrassed that my friends saw my reduced lunch card, while they got whatever they wanted & and used cash or a regular lunch card. I didn't own a brand name article of clothes till my first paying job, at 14. I had to work my way thru college. But that pales by LONG shot to what Flowers went thru and if not for football, who knows where he'd be today? Again, I won't speak for other posters, but I don't know many people who've lived a more difficult live (at least in our generation). Different opinions here notwithstanding, I think we all share this in common: we're pulling for Q and are disappointed with his playing time & opportunities with the Vipers...as well as the fact that he's off the team (for whatever reason). I'll be a fan of his forever and wish him success where ever he goes.

the silly thing is he's one hit away from being the starter. Or, a slump from getting the job. But, who knows what Trestman is telling him?

When we barely took 2 of 3 from Marist, lost to FAMU and now swept by a small school from Boston, I knew this is the worst team we've had in a decade. Lots of season left, but this is bleak.

anyone know where to get box scores? ESPN didn't show live stats. Watched the Seattle game...as noted above, pretty good quality of football. BJ going in at 4 & 15 sucked, with a blitz coming. Incomplete pass. Better luck next time.

Knight Tweeted that he sat out last year, so he should be good for 2020.

he was really only a starter for a year, but yes, I agree...the worst.

W/L is not the metric, IMO, as there are so many more factors. Macon played like a stud v our toughest foe, Wisconsin & WOULD have made the potential game winning tackle v GT, if not for a questionable targeting call to end the game for us. So, yes...it's subjective. In my opinion, if I had to have one of the 2 healthy all last year, I take Macon without hesitation. I'm not knocking Sawtelle. He's a fighter. I just think he was not as good.

yes, that's what I'm saying...and you're right, there's no sin in that. That said, I think there's a pretty big drop off from those 3. Yes, we were spoiled.

correlation, not cause & effect, IMO. Macon was WAY better than Sawtelle. It's a moot argument, I suppose, but Sawtelle was likely the worst starting MLB we had in over a decade.

OK, that makes sense. He is still very pro-USF on Twitter, which is cool. He had such a high ceiling...he'll be missed.

SPOILER ALERT, BRO!!!

What happened to Macon near the end of the season. He almost disappeared. Injuries? Doghouse with Strong? I've never gotten a good answer.

Maurice Clarett did years ago (OSU RB). For other reasons, his life nose dived (there's a Netflix or ESPN special on him, I believe). The argument seems to be that they aren't physically ready at 18-19 for the pounding & long season that is the NFL. Ostensibly. *edit note: Sorry, I didn't scroll to the end to see this was answered.
