Spring Game Reboot
« on: July 10, 2019, 10:44:17 AM »
Well....just boot for me.  I didn't get to go to the Planes this year for the game and last night was the first time I caught it on the SEC's.  Since we're only a few weeks away from Fall camp, some quick observations.

QB:  I thought Nix and Goatwood were equally productive.  The one thing that worries me about Gatewood is that it looks like he throws his deep ball just like a 15 yard crossing pattern.  Every throw looked to be on a rope and he missed several deep balls because of it.  Nix seemed to get the whole touch thingy.

RB:  I feel a little better about that group now.  Boobs showed a couple of good bursts of speed and DJ Williams looks SEC ready right now.  That kid looks like he's gonna' be a ballah.

WR:  Sal caught a ball.  We good.

Worst to Best: The network cutie on the field was trying to get some insight from Malzahn.  I honestly don't think the man is capable of mustering up more than 3 phrases of coach speak in any situation.  Then she runs over and puts the mic in front of Mr. Pearl.  Like I said, worst to best.

It's a spring game so I don't use it as any indicator of how we'll do.  However, if one of those QB's step up, I think we'll be better than most are predicting, which ain't much.  Even Phil Steele says we're really talented, but the schedule is just too brutal.

My doctor told me I needed to stop masturbating.  I asked him why, and he said, "because I'm trying to examine you."

I think its going to come down to how well JG reads the option. His legs will be what we ride. But his arm, of lack of, will be the difference. He has a huge ceiling. But so did Kadrilla.

Nix is not ready yet. But he seems to be set for a steady job at QB. will he have to wait like his daddy did? Or will he bail if JG takes off.

Then again, the summer workouts may allow Nix to leap over JG.

Flip a coin. Stock up on your favorite beverage. This season will be a ride!

Five statements of WISDOM
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friends, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

Fellas, the focus for offense should be whether or not the offensive line can be any good at all. If that clown show from last year shows up this year, no QB outside of Cam could make that work. And Joey 13 nor Nix, Jr. are Cam. Not by a sight.

Wish we had Jeremy Johnson 5 years ago.
