not a scrimmage today. 3:00 EST practice today. Haslam field and have to watch outside fence
I don't know where you're getting your info from as far as practice goes, but the gate was wide open at 3 o'clock, and there were 100+ viewers there today. I was graciously invited in and handed a roster before I sat down.
Was anyone impressive today?
I'll tell you who was most impressive...COACH GRAN.
They did quite a bit of work on special teams, and that guy is all business. I'm really excited about our special teams next year.
I heard him say multiple times, "GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR BUTT!" I could tell he was thinking, "Damn, these guys know NOTHING about how to play special teams!" Guess we can thank Fulmer for that, since, you know, special teams were never all that important to him.
Cunningham looked good, getting great distance and height, but Gran was not pleased with the coverage.

I think it was either Marsalous Johnson or CJ Flemming. I could be wrong on that. But it wasn't a big deal, just some pushing and shoving after a play.
Thanks Krab, how did the offense look?
Not too good. It was a day for the defense.
At one point I was watching the 3rd team practice with Coach O doing his "Associate Head Coach" duties. He was calling the plays and acting like a head coach with the 3rd team while Kiffin was with the 1st and 2nd teams. Lamaison did not look good at all. Every pass he threw was deflected, it seemed. He got sacked quite a few times also.
I'm planning on going to practice again tomorrow night, and this time my 2 year-old daughter won't be with me, so I will be able to pay closer attention. (It's hard to stay focused on the field when you're afraid your toddler might fall off the bleachers, or run out onto the field to catch the "ball-ball"). I will give a much better detailed report for tomorrow night's practice late on Friday night or Saturday morning.
Is Fleming still around? I've heard numerous times that he was already gone.
