It is possible to be female and love sports. I grew up watching with my dad, and now my husband and I don't miss a game. Our 3 year old daughter loves to sing Rocky Top.
 
If they have 85 guys on scholarship, they would need 25 guys to go off scholarship by graduating, going early to the NFL, or transferring. That's not going to happen this year as the team is freshman and sophomore heavy. A blue shirt still counts toward the 85 man roster as soon as he starts working out with the team. He just counts forward to the next signing class if he doesn't get his scholarship until fall classes start.

This is inaccurate. He doesnt count towards the 85 until hes actually on scholarship. Which isn't what a bluebshirt is. Its a promise.

You're right. And they could ask someone to pay for their fall semester and play with the team. My understanding with Perry and Bruce, they would get their schollie once fall classes started.

I don't believe the joke was intended to say you can't be a female and a sports fan, but that, based on your username, Kristy, it is obvious you're a female. Leb was not, so a gender change was necessary in order for you to be the same person, which you kind of are...

Now you boys all settle down and leave the nice young lady alone! :nono:


Having said that, if you start with this whole damn numbers crap again, I'll figure out a way to punch you through the internet. :)

Ok. Chill Ray.
 
The way I think of a Blueshirt, is that it is a Walk-On whose put on scholarship during his 1st academic year on campus, and with that scholarship being given, it has to be reflected upon the next incoming class.

RPP and others? Is that the right wording for it?
 
Anyone who remembers Leb gets it. Otherwise, I don't really care what you think and I do not have to defend my age or mentality. Everyone in this society is so dang sensitive. If you are a guy on here posting about my comment, please grow a pair.

:whatever: :nono::bash: :focus: :disappointed::pepper: :banghead2:

A blueshirt doesn't "walk-on". They enroll before Fall and go on scholarship when Fall starts.
