Only 5 black stripes lost?

[skasper06]

I'm not concerned or anything. I know fall camp was competitive. But what has the average been the last couple years during camp? This year we only had Kamara, Phillips, Tuttle, Jennings and Dormady shed their stripes this camp. No Kirkland yet or Khalil?

Ahem!

New media policy!

Good question. I wondered the same a couple days back. I'm sure a couple more may drop before opening day.

Maybe we are starting to gain some depth and CBJ has upped the ante on stripe removal

The players vote to remove stripes. Looks like the standard is higher at UT this year than it was the past couple seasons. I like it.

As UT's standards go up, VN's keep going down. Sad really...

Woody Quinn wore his to graduation

I think it's time to change the stripe to smoky gray.

 

[skasper06]

It would seem a bit difficult to see Kirkland earning the starting MLB spot or Khalil earning a starting DT spot if they still have black stripes.

In after, the players vote to have the stripes removed...

No inside information claimed here, BUT since those who have had their stripes removed were EEs, I have to think it has to do with minimum # of reps or something like that before stripes can be removed. Time in the trenches so to speak. Just a swag/some wild axxed guess.

Aren't we TRYING to play less Freshman? Hurry them into the 2-deep or 1st string?

I thought that was the point...

You have no respect for tradition imo.

 

[Biopsyman]

Cancel the season

 

[CDCman]

Stripes for Mac and Kirkland should be gone real soon

 

[OrangeSquid]

The rest must be "Busts".

That would be interesting... So when the stripe is ripped off the helmet, is that kind of symbolic of removing the smoky gray from the UT color pallet :shades:

 

[volmandu]

Woody Quinn wore his to graduation

Blair might too

 

[TylerD]

Jim Bob Cooter is still wearing his.
