I don’t believe that either. If that were the case, I’d have his bags packed and a bus ticket waiting.

Sanders out again! What is the deal?

What’s wrong with her this week? Geez. Hope we don’t have another 5* diva on our hands.

This needs to be the kind of game that walk-ons are playing after halftime. Get everybody some game experience and snaps, even Smokey.

Something is up here. Austin P said on one podcast "if the game had been Sunday he would have played" last week.

David sanders being out again makes zero sense

If it’s actually NIL related then show him the door. But I doubt that’s what’s going on. He’s probably banged up. We definitely don’t want his first game to be Georgia

VQ keeps saying stinger and the medical staff wouldnt clear him Sat morning. Didn't they open the check book for him? I can't imagine it being over money.

And there's no way they start him. That group played well last week, let him sub in.

His team was not helping him but I think they are finding their groove!

Wet field today. Good practice. Hope there are no new injuries, some of the regulars get to heal up, and we see some real spark out of the youngsters. GBO/VFL!

Sanders first game being Georgia is bad news.

 

[Bigorangefan 98]

He's pregnant.

Is this guy soft or what ? Lol

Sanders needs to sit out Georgia too.

Someone get the kid a tampon and suit him up. I’m over this crap. Heup needs to have a serious look at the S&C coach. We had way too many injuries against a bad team last week. I know injuries happen, but they shouldn’t be dropping like flies like this.
