This is really cool and well deserved, but the megahype can be a fleeting thing. Hope people are not too disappointed if Clowney does not dismember someone on each play.

What I am interested in reading about are how into practice new players look, what our LB will look like in the Fall, how the redshirted OL are doing, and if from somewhere on campus a field goal kicker can be found.

That's what I'm talkin about!

What most will talk about is how Dylan is doing and if Noso looks half way decent then he will become the focus, which WR caught the long pass, and if someone makes a play longer than 50 yards he will become our new homerun threat in the fall.

Damn was trying to quote that second part of your post and screwed that up.

I know what you mean, and Jared shaw definitely comes to mind.

I was just trying to get some conversations going on about actual football being played.

270 pound men aren't suppose to run that fast. That's unfair. 4.5 Holy crap

I would say that is currently the Jared Shaw award. Byrd's a regular contributor.

Wow, I totally forgot about him being on the team. What happened there?

Wait, no they don't. If you like having bland, offseason discussions about stuff that doesn't matter, then fine go have them. Somewhere else. and leave the actual topic of discussing football being played again, to people who might actually be having a good day.

Good day sir.

Don't worry. Some of us got it. I thought it was a funny post myself.

Was told Clowney actually 273 pounds when he turned in the 4.5 range 40 in testing. Also was fairly close to 40 inch vert.

I'm not a twitter guy, so would somebody please tweet that to Tajh for me. Thanks.

Just so you know, SOS can mean many things to many people. Ex: What did you think of when you read that post? But when I abbreviate Coach's name, .... See what I mean?

Well, he can't spell the name of our coach. So, i would just take it with a grain of salt.

I'm with you kinda Emery.
I've never big on spring ball (it is glorified practice, and you virtually get NOTHING out of practice. (If O does good, is D bad? And vice-versa).

Spring ball is just to see individuals put themselves in position for fall camp.

THe news I'm looking forward to...nobody getting hurt and having to miss a season.

The epitome of spring football is Taquy Muhammed and DeAngelo Smith...Muhammed LIT UP a spring game and did NOTHING.
DeAngelo is going down that same path if he doesn't do something this year.

Don't get hurt and hope the guys learn something this spring...that is about all I take away from spring ball.

Oh, and warmer weather.

[Cock Kool-Aid]

Pretty sure DD Smith is gone.

Yeah Clowney is 20-30 lbs heavier than the fastest guys (based on 40 time) at his position in this years NFL combine. Insane. I'd love to know his shuttle time

Question: are players that aren't in the nfl draft but who plan to play their college football season allowed to participate in that school's pro day?

If they aren't leaving school early or graduating why would they participate in pro day?

Boyd and Murray already know about JC's speed & vert. 'cause he used 'em both to intro Tajh & Aaron to 'sheer terror' & 'run for your life' last year.

Heard he's been working on two new moves this off-season. Callin' 'em 'the freeze' and the 'oh, $hit!' Bet he keeps 'em under wraps 'til that second game and debuts them against poor Aaron.

Hey, Aaron, 'sheer' might not do it; better start practicing 'abject'. LOL.

A few reasons.
