Essentially a transcript of Butters' last press conference but its much easier to read that than watch him.

Probably don't want to practice throwing picks and making throws you wouldn't make in the game......

I have to watch him with one eye to avoid the spin doctors

Our #4 DT right here!!

I wonder how that is going to work out? We need all the 300 pound bodies we can get however.

He'll be a redshirt sophomore. I think he'll do fine. I don't expect him to start, but he'll provide quality depth (I'm more comfortable w/ him at DT than a true freshman). He was listed at 6'4 292 last year, hopefully he's over 300 now.

So vs Michigan, Franks throws 3 straight 12-20 yard completions we'll be able to say: "He's out of practice."

Not much here, but starving for info. This caught my eye, "He was expected to be a quicker than normal defensive tackle, but certainly not someone who would set-up camp in the opponent’s backfield…more frequently than anyone else on the Florida Gators roster."

Good find. I wish the lazy author would have asked him what his current weight is. Law thinks he weighs 220lbs...

Haha!!! Polite isn't anywhere near 220 any more. He is listed at 271. However, a recent pic I saw of him, he looked even bigger. Rumph said they are trying to add even more weight to the 270. It sounds as if they want to move him to DT, but it depends on if he can add the necessary weight. At his current weight, Rumph said he'll play DE and DT.

I didn't say that. I said he was a smidge heavier than Davis, probably 250-255ish.

That is worth the time. Really like Waters even if it took me a while to get used to that accent.

Err I meant that it really INCREASES my enjoyment.

I feel like that time when I--somehow, the circumstance elude me now--told my wife that the neighbor was hot.

I cant believe this thread is still pinned and we havent started a new one.

Oh, I know he's much bigger and I think he played at or near his listed weight last year (271). I expect him to be at least 285 this year and be a full-time DT.
