I hope that we do see Chris Weatherd in the 2nd spring practice, he will be fine coming in late but a great need in LB with experience.

 

[JettVol]

[Kook]

Any word on Mike Wegzyn Or Kameel Jackson?

Easier for opposing RBs to remember after they get hit for the first time.

Did he follow Donnie Tyndall up here? :hi:

 

[Go Fight Win]

Any word on Mike Wegzyn Or Kameel Jackson?

They will be arriving either later in the summer or in the fall.

 

[Volunteer forever]

Was thinking the same thing!!!

 

[ManningBerry#1]

Pretty snazzy what the Berry's were given. I wish Worley would've given up his number.

 

[ItsAllVols]

Yeah, I bet if they ask he would have but Im sure they would like to start a new chapter of the Berrys

 

[itouchedthe_bUTch]

Was 45 not retired? Maybe mistaken.

 

[ManningBerry#1]

Was 45 not retired? Maybe mistaken.

For what reason? That's AJ's number isn't it?

 

[itouchedthe_bUTch]

I thought they retired it for johnny majors.

 

[ACvol3]

I thought they retired it for johnny majors.

They honored it but not retired.. They're not doing that anymore

 

[bUTchLookin4Dimez]

Not sure. Heard he waited a while for this opportunity.

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

Thanks for posting the update.

I don't blame him they only have to wait 1 year. He has earned the right to keep it.
Not to mention it may even be a redshirt year

 

[MrBiggles]

How many Punters/kickers do we have on the team? 3 with Troy Waites?

 

[vol-un-tear]

Good post. Who is 40? Be cool to see bates in 40

 

[jbuchanan]

Not sure. Heard he waited a while for this opportunity.

:clap:

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

So we got a fella named Jase from Louisiana....hmmmm ring any bells? I bet he is a Duck hunter too!

 

[Orange And Garnet]

And we continue the new trend of DL having single digit numbers. I don't mind it though

 

[ManningBerry#1]

That makes sense

Do they want to wear 14? Seems like I've heard that they didn't?

 

[UTProf]

Pretty snazzy what the Berry's were given. I wish Worley would've given up his number.

I get Evan's number is in honor of Inky AND Eiric but what's the meaning of Elliot's? Is it just a play on Eric's old 14 by switching it to 41?!

As to Worley giving up his number... which one would he give it to without creating a bit of tension? Also, I think the Berry Twins are better off carving out their own paths. Even if they managed to be as good as Eric, Eric's shoes and shadow here are just too big. He's no longer simply a player we all love (although we we certainly still love the play) but he's become a full fledged legend whose awesomeness and legend grows daily and no one can live up to that, especially his brothers - maybe when more time passes but not yet. Ultimately I think Evan and Elliot will be better off if we (and they) are allowed to become their own men and the own players.

This is witty and in many ways way cooler because you have to think for a second about what they're doing. It's enough for them to get it and for hardcore fans to get it but not so obvious that they lock themselves into a shadow.
