The April Mock Drafts are out. These are the first in a series of mocks that the draft analysts are able to put some information together that will more closely resemble what takes places in the NFL Draft, than what we saw a month ago after the combine.

CP has fallen down in the first round, but will be gone by the 20th pick for sure. Justin Hunter is moving up into the first round according to most of these guys.

What if I told you that I had a dream last night that's setting was some convention thing and you had like an eyewear booth called "I4Jay"-- I as in eye, 4 as in for, and then Jay-- and I knew I could meet other volnationers if I went to it but then a crowd of people in Bama garb forced me down the row and I couldn't make it back??

When asked for the umpteenth time this spring about all of the returning starters whose blocking produced all of those yards and points last fall, Mahoney rolled his eyes.

"We've got to play better," he said. "We didn't win enough in the past, so we've got to play better. Yes, it is experienced but since we got here it (talk) has been how many guys are back. We do (have veterans) and they're solid players, but they've got to play better than they did a year ago.

"Last year wasn't good enough. That's the challenge for me. That's the challenge for them. I hit it home to them every chance I get: You know what? It wasn't good enough. We've got to play beyond that. We've got to work that much harder to do things better than we did a year ago."

The thing I really enjoy about this group: They like to be challenged," Mahoney said. "They're not satisfied. My emphasis to them is: Every day is a chance for us to get better, and it wasn't good enough (last year). We've got to keep working to be as good as we can be, individually and collectively as a unit."

The better in shape we are, the more physical we're going to be able to play," Mahoney said. "We still aren't there but trimming down some of that weight they were carrying has helped them to be more productive in practice."

We watch the film — from the beginning of practice to the end — and you can see towards the end that once you get tired your technique is not as good as it needs to be," Mahoney said. "Your pad level, your landmarks — all of the fine detail things we stress — are lacking just because you're out of shape."

"Absolutely," Mahoney said. "As we're moving forward we've installed more in our offense. Once we come back (from spring break) we'll throw more at 'em. Understand this: We aren't even close to where we want to be in the playbook because we have yet to master the fine details of what we have so far."

"It's not about what was done statistically," he said. "That's what drives me nuts, especially as an offensive line. There's only one stat that matters, and that's winning ... bottom line."The bottom line is that it's about winning. That's it. It doesn't matter how many yards, how many sacks or this or that. At the end of the day it's 'Let's go and win ball games, period.' They get it. They understand that's right."

No. Not really. He got lots of carries. He gained over 1000 in one year and never avg'd more than 5 ypc.

I am not saying either Neal or Lane will accomplish what he accomplished. I AM saying that they have the physical talent to exceed anything he did in any single season at UT. It is a travesty that someone with Neal's speed and power has never done more than he's done.

Almost no one here was a big Foster fan until he made good in the NFL. I have nothing against the guy and wish him nothing but the best. But it is revisionist to say that his UT career success had more to do with his talent than it did with the absence of another credible RB on the team. His best attribute was that he could take lots of carries without getting hurt.

40 minutes ago Wharton said on twitter that we are still going to be getting a commit tomorrow

I have felt like a druggie going through withdrawals with how long it's been since our flurry of commitments, but it seems I'm about to get my fix

I remember being in Cool Beans on a random weeknight back when I was a senior at UT in 2002. Only like 15 people in the bar and in walks Peyton Manning with two friends. He shook hands, had a beer and left. About 10 minutes later me and my friends leave and we notice Hannahs has like 100 people on the street trying to get inside but the bar was full. Word spread fast that PM was in town lol

Can someone interpret. What does "You're 9 baller" mean?

This comes from the Twitter feed from 4-star Michigan commit Michael Ferns, and he’s undoubtedly having second thoughts after opening up this envelope. You’re probably thinking about committing there as well, which is also normal given the above.

saw it on twitter so take it with a grain of salt (but was posted today, not on the 1st)
