Wrong, pride in my work and the job I do is enough for me. I have left jobs and worked 12 days in a row in order to not leave the company in a lurch.

I don't see how it's wrong. As I said, each situation is different. But there are instances where it's best for both parties to move on. I don't believe it has to fall one way or the other.

Dobbs not letting up on the Kongbo hype train

"We think we have the best defensive line in the country with Barnett on one side, Kongbo, Corey Vereen on the other." Dobbs

If someone has a better DL than us, I'd like to see it? Bama may have the edge at tackle, but nobody has the DEs that we do. Barnett is the best in the country, and the guys on the other side and the depth behind them, man we're loaded. This is the year that McKenzie meets expectations and Tuttle comes back healthy. Shoop is right. No one will run the ball on us and every QB will be running for their lives.

I'm loving the Kongbo hype. What I'm loving even more though is the fact that Vereen's name didn't just disappear because of the Kongbo hype. I think there is a really good chance that Vereen becomes just as much of a difference maker as anyone on the team.

Barnett.......he's gonna Barnett. Nothing else need to be said about that. I think he's tired of being ranked behind lesser players and is going to prove this year that he is the best at what he does.

That's one thing I respected about Spurrier back in the day, score so much the other team can't possibly catch up, genius.

A lot of companies ask employees to leave the day they give notice. Departing employees often try to take clients, projects and proprietary info with them to their new firm, so it's better if they move on.

It's ridiculous to dump a player's locker and trash his personal belongings, though. If that happened at UT, the media would turn it into a national scandal and call for CBJ's termination. Anita Whatawhiner would get weeks of scathing headlines out of it.

Players being interviewed now...


Interesting from JRM in that he, Sutton and Alvin have had a group message challenging each other the last few months called VFL's to the NFL. And he sees this season as being a professional college player focusing on leading, taking care of his body, and being completely invested in football.

He has his degree so he has more school free time than ever and is living football changing his lifestyle from being a college student to being a pro college player.

They are calling the year "The Hard 12"

That's not to say he's not having fun. Yesterday he jumped into the OL meeting room as they were starting to give them a hard time and to talk a little junk. JRM says he likes going in other meeting rooms because he loves to learn about ball. Can help him now and down the road as he becomes a coach.

Dobbs on the offense: We have installed more the first three days than we ever have. It's allowing us to go faster on the field. We have pushed tempo and it's aiding us on the field. Guys have picked up stuff fast.

Ate more and lifted more this summer. It was all about being more durable in the season. More flexible. It's helped me out. Said he didn't gain much weight this summer maybe 5 pounds or so, but added alot of muscle mass.

Dobbs: We think we have the best defensive line in the country with the players we have.

Hurd at the podium:

Trained out in California with a former NFL guy is a trainer. Working on explosion and top end speed. You just try to find different things. 23 mph was the highest speed.

Said he gets explosion work here but in down time looking to do different things.

Said jumping on the treadmill was scary.

Says goal is to be the all time rushing leader. Biggest goal is help team win a national championship.

When asked who was the best rb in the SEC? We will see at the end of the year.

Said California training was more explosion and speed. Saw that he needed to do that to help make cuts in the open field having burst. Feels he's faster and have more burst.

Cam Sutton raving about the DL, says they're deep, able to move guys all over the place and really getting after the QB. Says they're already making his job easier.

Sutton asked if he would like to return kicks. 'I'd do it if they wanted me to, but we've got a pretty good kick returner right now,' with a chuckle.


Sutton: 'We're probably one of the only college teams that practices special teams every day, not just a couple of them but all of the teams.' Says they spend time in meetings on them too. Might only be two or three opportunities a game and you have to be ready for them.

How'd that work? Thought he landed at UCF? I know he isn't instantly eligible.
