We've gotten better. Wife and kids are rocking the regular schedule, but I blacked out from dehydration on the podium at last night's rehearsal.

No one bothered to tell me that snowy winters are actually dry. Doctor has me chugging water like there's no tomorrow. At least I feel good when I'm not standing up :)

Thanks. We didn't realize just how much of a toll the move from the gulf coast to the great lakes would take on our bodies, but we are acclimating.

I recently discovered I hate other parents. In a group text with 20 other parents for my son's school affiliated soccer team. Coach sends an informational text about optional practice tomorrow. Text came through 5 minutes ago. 8 people felt the need to reply in the thread with "ty", "ok" and thumbs up emojis. :rolleyes:

Signed two new 4* WR today. One guy is TE WR hybrid. The other plays like Justin Hunter, before injury. Stole one from FSU, the other from Florida. Good way to close out the class imo.

one of them was committed to Florida....


come on guys, I am clearly fishing for more likes than just McDad.

CJP does another amazing job hitting needs on the roster. Fulmer the only coach in my 43 years to do it as well. If you were playing a video game building a roster ...and doing it right ..you would do it exactly as he has. Build the trenches 1st. Line full of 5 stars. Skill players next . Gray and 2 more good backs this year including a 230lb bruiser. Then lost 2 WR to the NFL...what does he do? Lands Hyatt who runs a laser timed 4.3 flat and Beckwith at 6ft5 220lbs but can still FLY and damn near dunk from the free throw line. Watch his BBALL highlights. Beckwith plans to run track in college too supposedly. Hes fast for a big guy. Long strider. Wideman also a 4 star at WR plus Keyton 4 star from last year that played with Bailey in HS and had already shown flashes as a freshman last year. Then theres Gibbs..he is the x factor. Anything we get out of him is just extra. We will be relatively inexperienced this year at WR...but as far as talent goes? This class is as good as any at WR since Fulmer was here. Deep. Deep. I think Palmer and Johnson better be much improved over years past....especially johnson ...or the kids will pass them up for playing time. Heres why: we usually run a 3 WR set because : blockers/RB right? Almost never go 4 wide under CJP....Beckwith is the only big body posession guy we have the day he gets here. He will play. Hyatt is the fastest guy on the team at WR, probably at any position, from day 1. We need him to blow the top off of the defense to open up the running game. He will play. That's 2 guys for sure. Wideman is a Justin Hunter build and type like was posted in the FF from what his tape shows. Fast and thin, pretty tall also at 6ft 2 I think. We will have a very deep rotation at WR from day 1 this year.

None of this matters is we cant get them the ball. If somebody cant beat out JG we are screwed and will go 7 and 5 again with a tougher schedule than last year. Please Lord no.

i think we pick up at least one win this year in the regular season.
BYU<OK
but we shouldnt have any more georgia states either.
that plus the rest of the lower SEC is still down we should be 8-4 at the worst.
I could see use losing 1 SEC game we shouldnt and winning one we shouldnt.

If we do better than 8-4, who do you think we most likely beat (all the way to undefeated) ?
Oklahoma, UGA, UF, Bama in that order?

Hopefully Pruitt can bring out a team that is prepared for the season this year. If he can do that 8-4 is a realistic expectation.

We're going to need better QB, O-line and d-line play to take one from OK, FL or GA.
