My brilliant idea

can I burn a couch?

Sure you can! You might want to check out Big Vol Daddy's YouTube channel. I think he's got a tutorial up.

Same people who projected Driskell as first rounder and probae Heisman?

very well could be. After seeing Franks play in the spring game, I find it very concerning that he is being talked about playing so soon. No way he progresses that much since then. We are phucked.

Heard on the radio that someone in the program stated that Trask has as big an arm as Franks, but he doesn't show it because he has a better feel for throwing a catchable ball. Also, they feel that Trask has more ability and potential, but they have concerns about his experience, and want him to have more reps before putting him in. So if a freshman plays, it will be Franks, but only because he has more game experience. Regardless of what happens in the bowl game, there will be a wide open competition. If Stidham comes here, they don't expect him to stay more than two years.

The Experience factor imo is keeping us behind. Play the best player. period. Just because a guy has experience does not mean he should be the starter.

Well, Franks did settle down later in the game. I think he has the tools and he has seen alot of practice in this offense since the spring game and obviously he has done decent. Give him a shot.

Give anyone not named Del Rio or Applebees a shot. Show recruits what the future looks like. Or maybe that's what he's afraid of?...

Law and Rex will make conciliatory speeches and apologize for not "believing" Law will make a reference to short pants (if the BB team wins it first).
.

Just realize Im not showing up for
up for bouncy ball (or baseball, gymnastics, or pickupnstix) but there is no real risk of that, is there?

I'm pretty sure the coaches told him what reads to make and setup the defense for him. Probably did the same for LDR.

Wouldn't all the angry, negative regulars here say something like this:

"A Freshman who went through Spring, Fall, and in-season practices should be ready to play! If not, (a) he's a bust and we should cut him, (b) he never should have been recruited, and (c) the coaches all suck for not having him ready by now!!! The QBs on every other team are fully developed by the end of their Freshman years, so what's the hold up here?!?! Years of experience in college don't matter, which is why EVERY SINGLE QB who is any good leaves for the NFL after his Junior year!!!"

Is that about right? It's just crazy talk. SMH

Mac will lead us to glory. Those 3 stars will play like 5 stars. Even Law will become a Trask believer. It's going to happen. Hallelujah!!!

1963, my freshman year. It was an away game. It's listed as Bear Bryant's first loss at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
On Saturday mornings, the library was the only sane place to study pre-game. It was a cold, windy morning.
On my walk to the Library, I took a "back-alley" shortcut. My mind was puzzled by seeing behind a fraternity
house a sloppy pile of long old scrap-boards. (Who stores wood that way? = some guys planning on using it
right away.) Puzzled, I went on to the library.

I listened to the game and on victory the campus celebration pulled me out to be among our revelers. The crowd
was a flowing tidal wave (or anti-tide wave?). At the main traffic light (US Highway 441 = Federal Offense?), I saw
those long boards gouging toward the sky, just under that traffic light. The blaze was just beginning.

The event got too wild for me, so I returned to my dorm room. I got the Sunday newspaper to read details
about our monumental win. The tales of that fan-celebration filled the first pages = to wit :
A fireman said : "On arriving, we jumped off the truck pulling out our heavy, new hose ($12,000). Plenty of
student guys started helping. When we got to the bonfire, those students kept pushing the hose -- they fed it
to the fire. That hose was ruined."
There was another description : All traffic at that 441 intersection was stood still, as that flood of people
swarmed tight around all vehicles. Some foolish driver, of a Tom's Crackers delivery truck (Tom-foolish driver?)
made the mistake of honking his horn. That crowd-mass turned in unison, like a menancing Rockets dance team.
They rocked that panel-truck back-forth, scaring that poor driver for life.

It was SHAMEFUL -- (now said with a nostalgic pride?).

Beautiful imagery! Well-played, sir. I can see it clearly in my mind's eye.

I have been on Univ Ave after every title celebration. Even the 84 SEC title. My most recent memories are those National titles in Basketball. They unmitigated joy (except for LEOs keeping a little order) was a sight to see and experience. The first BB title I had my large gator flag on a pole and was accosted often to have a pic taken with it. Here is my idea. We win the next one in FB or BB and somehow all those within striking distance show up and we have a chatter celebration right there on UNIV Ave. Ox will even bring the official chatter flag...............we all have chatter t-shirt (orange and blue of course) with our screen names on the back.............Brad will bring the Jameson. Cooter and CHevy will cook up some food and briskets for the meal after. Law and Rex will make conciliatory speeches and apologize for not "believing" Law will make a reference to short pants (if the BB team wins it first).

It was said the built a bon fire RIGHT in the middle of 13th and univ when Ray Graves led our boys to victory over the Bear on his home field when Joe Willie was his QB. Wisht I had seen that.

I'll be there.
