I've been screaming about this since Muschamp's arrival. By shutting down the practices it alienates the fan base. I'm glad Foley is making him do this.

“Fans being able to watch us practice kind of prepares them for our season is going to be,” Fowler said. “It lets them make there own opinion about us and feel apart of the team.” When the fans feel apart of the team they are going to make noise and that’s something that helps the players according to Fowler.

It's great for the fans and great for the team. Astute observations on the part of Fowler.

Didn't bother me one way or another. Whatever makes the team better.
 
Open practices are huge for the fan base I agree. As a student, if you can watch the team practice you feel more a part of the team. I think you will see increased student support because of this.
 
I never saw the need to close almost all the practices.

I agree JC. When I went to UF I attended a ton of them. And we had no attendance problems.
 
When students spend their whole weeks not caring about football, come Saturday games are not a priority. If you can catch a couple practices a week, all the sudden you want to see what you have invested in.

    I made eight quarts of Bolognese sauce last Sunday and I've been force feeding it to myself like a goose, gavage-style, for the last week. I have maybe a pint left, but I'm going to need to give up on it before I get sick. But boy was it deeleeeshees.
    Any secret ingredients?

    We cut down a medium sized tree and I put the logs on FB as unseasoned firewood for free just to keep us from lugging them to the back pasture and burn. A Ukrainian guy responded and I was thankful. They are always hardworking and responsive as opposed to most that say they will show up but don’t.

    Im not a fan of either team but Sean Payton should be in jail not coaching. Love how the NFL has just forgotten what he did in NO
  • Born2beagator Born2beagator:
    The only legit call the refs made on that drive was the roughing the passer. Both PI were bs.
  • Born2beagator Born2beagator:
    If you are gonna call that last one PI you should have called the "interception" a PI

    Just witnessed the second worst call in NFL history besides the BS tuck rule with Pats
