Truesdale to take advantage of the extra year of eligibility and play for Coach Heffernan.  Grant Loy enjoyed holding the clipboard so much last season he wants to do it one more year as well.

I trust Coach Hanrahan will put our boys in the best place to succeed. Thanks for the update Buzz.

This is good if for nothing else than to have a big body in the middle with experience.  Maybe this year he'll remember not to wear his skates on the field.

I know this is negative and a continuation of pile driving that dead horse into the ground.  But True and New being the mainstays in the middle last year were indicative of where Gus & Co. fell off in recruiting.  Marlon and Derrick were two 5* recruits and had great careers.  Marlon was more of a DE at 270 when he signed, but was physical enough to play inside.  But just like the O-line recruiting, they really missed out on big uglies for the middle after signing those two.  Coitus Miller was a highly rated tackle but obviously wasn't ready for prime time and exited stage left. 

I like this class coming in and hope a couple of them can step in the rotation right away.  And there's a reason True came back.  I didn't read any quotes from him if there were any in what Buzz posted.  (Didn't read it)  Hopefully, he thinks he has a future playing on Sundays, and the occasional Thursday, and wants to kick it into high gear to prove something.  That would be fine by me.

Just hope our defense can overcome the loss of the highly coveted Big Kat Bryant. He was the straw that stirred the drink.

Unfortunately, he looked like he played drunk.

I like what we've done on the edges on D.  While I still don't see that big time rusher off the edge we've been used to for years, I think we have some damn good, young at that position. I'm still of the opinion that if Derick Hall isn't that guy, he needs to move to LB in Britt's spot.  He's 6'3" 240 and can bring the pain.

This Polynesian looking dude might offer some sobriety.

Yep.  Tobechi Okoli may bolster that unit too if his film is any indication.

I get so tired of motherfuckers thinking that they are funny by being disrespectful and using the wrong name for Coach Haggard.

Not funny and hurts recruiting.

So, you're saying he was more like the wooden shaker handle stirring the cheap burbins into the dcp?

Corch Hazzard deserves our respect.

Don't forget the orange and blue haze that would accompany those wooden shakers.

That haze could get in his eyes as he blazes by the OT...causing him to whiff on the QB.  Maybe we are onto something.
