Yeah as much as I love Arian, that pissed me off. Let the band play but I might be biased. The band might as well have not been there with them playing crappy music every chance they got.

I understand your point. However, the teenagers around me ate it up. They were about 14/15 years old. The danced to the songs and even had mom and dad dancing. They really enjoyed the atmosphere. I know that's not a typical game day environment, but it could have made a fan of them.. Or at least they may want to come back some time.

Today was my first O & W game and I had a great time. I loved being able to set foot on Shields Warkins Field. I can only imagine running through the T.

I got Coach Jones' autograph. He was very friendly and seemed to be really enjoying himself.

Go Big Orange!!!! Rise To The Top!!!!!

How did you all feel about the orange on orange jerseys? I personally loved them. I think with the new techfit jerseys they looked great.

Today's Attendance 61,076 -- Second largest in O&W Game History and biggest since record 73,801 in 1986

:rock: Nice...buddy of mine is a UK fan and was excited to have 50,000 at their spring game. That would have been embarrassing...

Is there an injury list ? and how severe to the extent of them ?

Croom was out, Riyahd Jones was out, Antonio Richardson, Brendan Downs and Justin Meredith were out, Curt Maggitt of course, and I'm sure there are others. But those are some pretty big ones.

I liked it. Made our d look a little quicker too.

rumor has it EB is there with both brothers

There was an 'Eric Berry' chant.

 

[str8upVOL]

EB walked out onto the field while they were running plays talking to butch!

 

[joelkthx]

one of the highlights was that EB was, for some reason, wearing a toboggan today

I saw Mo Couch and Daniel Hood not in uniform, but with their jerseys on.

2nd string o-line & walk on wideouts will make you look worst than you are choncho.

Both QB's rotated with the 1's and the 2's. I know there are were a lot of players out but still.

Neal still hesitates too much.

:yikes:

Our Neal? :dry:

:rofl:

To me, the most impressive stat of the day was AJ Johnson - 1 tackle.

I don't feel his game has diminished at all, just indicative how much this defense as a whole has stepped up around him.

Pretty good point. The DL was pretty awesome today, even without Hood and Couch. McCullers getting so many tackles can't be bad.

I think our defense is going to be night and day different. Jancek says they have installed 70-80% of it. This time last year, we had installed about 7-8% of it. We didn't see nearly as many missed assignments today, and a LOT more intensity and better tackling.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Soon.

Sooner

 

[MZTERRY]

Wasnt that the best O& W game?!!?!?!?! The defense was off the chain!! LUV IT!!!

Some of the boys on the injured list could have played, but why chance it?! We need them for the season, so everybody was good being on the sidelines supporting their teammates...

THE SEASON IS APPROACHING!!! CAN"T WAIT!
