SPRING PRACTICE COMPENDIUM: HOT HOT HOT.
Spring practice reports by team leading off with the Hot Hot Hottest team in the land.
Appalachian State! Not division one, sure, but they are opening with Michigan this year. Armanti Edwards has a great, pseudo-fashion-inspired name, but do not fuck with the Mountaineers’ quarterback: he made the hit of the day, leveling cornerback Justin Woazeah on a reverse. Take heed, Wolverines. Take heed.
Florida State: They have like, at least three receivers on the play. FSU’s offense revelling in having plays, a playbook, and schemes involving more than two receivers on a play.
“It’s rectangular, but you can open it up and there’s all this stuff inside,” says backup qb Xavier Lee. “And you won’t believe what the coaches want us to do at the line. It’s nutty. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen at FSU.”
Missouri’s offense: late-blooming. The Tigers’ offense done got blowed up during their practice.
No one rocks your ass like George O’Leary……who rocked it by starting with PATs in UCF’s 2007 spring debut. Fuck yeah!
Georgia may have a wide receiver. Sean Bailey, recovering from injury, has looked sound thus far, giving Georgia something they’ve lacked for a while, a real live wide receiver.
Boise’s qbs in a scrum. Boise’s looking to replace Jared Zabransky, and it’s a three-way fight for the job. Chris Petersen may just solve the whole thing by playing with three qbs in the backfield; he’s the only coach who could actually pull this off, judging from the Fiesta Bowl.
Cal’s practices are closed. And Tightwad Hill could care less, which confirms his status as a real, live Pac-10 football fan. SEC fans would be bribing their Air Force buddy who flies surveillance over Afghanistan to swing halfway around the world on taxpayers’ money to snap a couple of quick shots of that new formation they’re installing up in Knoxville.

I’m pretty sure paying $400 for a toilet seat doesn’t net the government any sort of profit.
That’s what you think, congressman.

I assume the DoD reports they pay x amount for y things. Thus, $400 toilet seats. I’m saying they actually pay $25(or whatever they cost) and the rest of the money goes to awesome shit being blown up.

I see your hippies jab, and raise you a Time Magazine College of the Year Award, circa 2001.

Back to football, Armanti Edwards is just the 5th DI player to run for 1000 yards and pass for 2000 in one season (joining Vince Young, among others). He did that as a freshman, despite redshirting for the first 1.5 games. And—assuming Michigan’s defense doesn’t break him into two 80-lb pieces—he’s probably just going to get better. My condolences go out to Furman, et al. Us ‘Neers are enjoying our day in the sun.

My Furman football experience was limited to testing the boundaries of what they mean by “dry” campus, gowing sick of the marching band Hendrix purple haze, and trying to figure out why we needed a real live Paladin on a real live horse, a stuffed man-in-suit-Paladin, a purple clad grim reaper, and a wizard (!) - that’s right, 4 mascots. I’m sure they’ve added something inflatable by now, and I’m still pissed about Ingle Martin slipping on the one.

while it never occured while i was at furman, mainly because we always beat app state, it did occur quite frequently at my high school’s basketball game. for some reason a boarding school for rich white kids didn’t do too well. though dee webb is an alumnus.
and it totally wouldn’t be out of place at furman. it’s a damn good school, unlike boone community college for hippies.

Re alleged Mountaineers working for Furman alums someday chant; I never heard that one, but if that’s how they cope, I’m okay with that.
Re Dave; Must we open that wound again? *sigh* Yes, buy your ticket. If nothing else, you’ll get to see a 165-lb QB run the spread against a real defense. I hope against all reason that it will be a good game.

Poor X. Lee doesn’t know that Bobby only has eyes for one girl, and her name is Drew.

What? We haven’t had a new formation in Knoxville since . . . well, when did we start playing football again?
