Damn I forgot Palmer went Juco. Can't believe he's a redshirt senior.

8/3/2012 10:08:55 PM

Palmer was injured in a high school against lee county when I was playing. That dude is old.

I'm looking at buying tix...Went on gopack.com, stubhub, and craigslist (which doesn't have many...but I wasn't really wanting to buy off craigslist anyway). Are there any other sites I need to be looking?

8/4/2012 5:56:57 PM

should be tickets on the official website, either that or it will direct you to each school's website I would guess

No Earl Wolff?

8/5/2012 11:46:33 PM

Seriously, Earl Wolff might be the most underrated player in the league. He's pretty much everything you want in a safety -- sure tackler, smart, aggressive, and fast as hell. I guess Amerson's shadow is just blotting him out.

8/6/2012 8:02:44 AM

we gotta pray bernard gets hurt, that guy is awesome.

Don't see Manuel finishing ahead of Glennon or the clemson QB

8/6/2012 9:04:48 AM

Are folks receiving their CFA tickets? I got an email a few weeks ago saying they would be mailed last week and I didn't receive anything.

8/6/2012 9:48:45 AM

It's probably because Chick-Fil-A doesn't like gay people.

8/6/2012 10:25:31 AM

Brosius transferrring to Walters State (Tenn.) for baseball

Wonderful

8/6/2012 10:56:36 AM

OH GOD, WE'RE SCREWED!

8/6/2012 11:04:27 AM

WE MIGHT BE IF GLENNON GETS HURT

8/6/2012 11:05:20 AM

I told you we should have released Glennon to keep Brosius from transferring.

I have not received mine.

8/6/2012 11:10:58 AM

Damn. I guess Manny Stocker isn't redshirting this year?

8/6/2012 11:18:23 AM

Too bad we didn't have a good Baseball team here for him to showcase his talents

8/6/2012 11:18:48 AM

TOB doesn't do two sport stars.

8/6/2012 11:20:40 AM

Slightly off topic, but I saw an interview yesterday with elon head coach jason swepson the other day.

Dude sounds exactly like TOB. I guess working for him turned him into some sort of clone.

8/6/2012 11:24:25 AM

Stocker is already better than Brosius. Redshirting skill position players is overrated in today's game. Wilson should have played his freshman year over Evans. Not that the two situations are similar.

8/6/2012 11:26:36 AM

guys guys, don't worry. We've got Garrett Leatham waiting in the wings.

8/6/2012 11:28:13 AM

I'm assuming he transferred to a lower division so he could practice baseball alone and be close to home. Good for him. If he thinks it's where his strengths are, then fine.

I'm happier to see that happen then have to have him play us down the road like Russell did.

8/6/2012 12:04:15 PM

The only thing with Manny not redshirting this year would be that Pete Thomas is expected (but of course, not guaranteed) to be our qb in 2013 & 2014. If that is the case, Stocker wouldn't have a chance to start until his senior year

[Edited on August 6, 2012 at 12:24 PM. Reason : ]

8/6/2012 12:23:45 PM

If he's legit he'll play over Thomas. People are building up Pete a little too much imo. If Stocker can't beat him out in the years to come so be it. All I'm really getting at is this really doesn't change anything.

8/6/2012 12:27:15 PM

Jeez. After the Wilson fiasco last year, just wait until the National Press (AP, Reuters, Cowherd, etc.) gets a hold of this...

8/6/2012 1:27:32 PM

Weak. Never mind, missed the sarcasm!

Not saying Bernard isn't good -- he is -- but we held him to under 50 yards on 18 carries last year (2.7 ypc). Not gonna pray too hard...

.
True. With Manny automatically being upgraded to #2 as a true freshman, it's gonna be difficult to find a redshirt year for him now without any other depth besides the walk-on Leatham. Unless we find another transfer like Thomas to come in his true junior year in 2013, sit a transfer year, then back up Thomas and let Manny redshirt in 2014, then Manny and transfer can battle it out for starter in 2015.

8/6/2012 2:34:47 PM

(unless manny realizes that he may not have a chance to start until his senior year, and he decides to transfer next year )

Need to find a good place to watch the CFA game in Atlanta...anyone have any ideas? Preferable somewhere near the dome so we can tailgate and then head to the bar

8/6/2012 5:28:47 PM

I'd suggest the Georgia Dome. I hear they'll be putting it on the big screen.

8/6/2012 5:42:55 PM

i've heard that the resolution at the georgia dome can't be beat.

8/6/2012 5:54:08 PM

Wolf and Creecy are going to have big years methinks.

8/6/2012 6:52:34 PM

Michael Peek out for the season with a knee injury.

8/6/2012 7:35:41 PM

^^ I really think Creecy is going to have a monster year. He showed flashes of potential last year, and looks to have put on quite a bit of muscle. Taking with a grain of salt his Creecy's pieces that I've seen, he seems to be really focused.

It's more of a gut feeling than anything...we shall see, I'm excited.

[Edited on August 6, 2012 at 7:39 PM. Reason : ^]

8/6/2012 7:38:47 PM

I agree about Creecy

8/6/2012 7:41:34 PM

Anything is better than a whole year of james ”let me get demolished when I try to run between the tackles and also I suck at pass blocking” washington.

8/6/2012 9:06:42 PM

^ i lol'd

8/6/2012 9:09:52 PM

So can ya'll explain our backup quarterbacks now? I'm not familiar with anyone lower than Brosius on the depth chart yet. How are they supposed to play out the next few years when Glennon leaves?

8/6/2012 9:21:56 PM

James Washington ended the season pretty strong. He use to go down at first contact, but he was breaking tackles and falling forward for extra yards the last 1/3 of the season last year. I was impressed. He's not All-ACC or anything, but he was above average at the end of the year last year. Put a few extra pounds on, and I don't see why he couldn't be a difference maker.

8/6/2012 9:28:57 PM

^^Pete Thomas transferred in this year. He'll sit out a year, and will be a RS Junior in 2013. He started as a true freshman and sophomore at CSU and i think he broke some true freshman records.

Manny Stocker is a freshman this year. Supposedly a true athlete and I've read good things.

Sophomore Garrett Leatham is a sophomore walk-on from Middle Creek.
