Have to admit that was funny. It was a bear claw smack down by a disturbed Maggitt that took him down. Dobbs probably should have stayed on the porch on that one. lol

On the bright side, at least Curt got to tackle someone with ease after whiffing. :)

*runs away super fast before I get swatted.*

In all seriousness, I have super high hopes for Curt this season. Have a feeling he's gonna beast out this year after missing so much time. This is the first time since his freshman year he's been healthy.

I could've thrown that slant. It was so open. If anyone should've been talking smack it should've been Wolf himself not Dobbs. Maggitt will get him back in scrimmage. I suspect a whooping for Mr. Dobbs. Also Maggitt is a Hybrid OLB\DE so I'm too concerned he got beat.

I don't even know that Dobbs was actually talking smack. We're kinda just assuming he was but it's just as likely Curt simply didn't want to see anyone wearing red or white approach him after losing a rep to the O. In fact, I'd say losing that rep had more to do with it than anything else. Maggitt is a fierce competitor, doesn't like losing, a leader on D (a young D that needs him badly) and after red shirting last year was probably more than a little mad at himself.

Reading more into it than a funny exchange that happened between teammates competing and agging one another on is silly. Our guys coach one another and yes, trash talk one another and have even fought with one another the past few days. That's confidence and swag. IOW, it's football - they are brothers. Sit back and enjoy seeing real players interact in a competitive practice environment.

The Dooley mindset where everyone sits around depressed and ready to slash open his or her wrists has been banished - what you're seeing is a GOOD thing!

I didn't say anything negative regarding team 118.

I made a statement that's based upon an actual fact.

That's being a "nega-vol"?

Tackling has been a problem since the Chavis era.

We were excellent for the last two seasons. The only problem was that we rarely were able to touch anyone before they made it to the end zone.

The more physical camp is... the better it is. While some here might want Fall Camp to be all butterflies and kumbaya... it's that raw physicality that will win SEC games.

And by the longer Fall Camp goes on, the more scraps and fights there will be breaking out. It's natural. These guys are physical and are getting tired of only hitting their buddies.

They'll have it bottled up to unload on Utah State come the 31st. Be ready for it.

Even Dooley got his guys up to play NCState. This team will be ripping at the bricks to get to Utah State.

As much as I love practice highlights, it only services to remind me the talent differential between us and teams like Alabama and Auburn. It's still immense.

We just don't have the players.

Looks like he's smuggling rolls in his shirt. Now that is some definition. He's gained a considerable amount of weight and very lean weight at that. Can't wait to see this team play in a few weeks.

I have to seriously consider you a possible Michigan or OSU troll as everyone in the entire SEC knows this word incorrectly as "egging" :)

Yet.
I think our young players compare favorably to what the more consistent teams in the league have. It's just a matter of time before those young players are Jrs and Srs beasting out all over the bad guys. I personally can't wait.

Don't fool yourself bro. We have the players by far. This class capped by the 2015 class will develop in due time and be serious competition for the 2017 NC. Know that blind person.

He's been noticable in every practice thus far. Fast and a solid WR. I think he'll earn some PT and that in a stacked WR corps.

Believe Gamble has to sit out a year after transferring.

I watched the replay of the 2002 Arkansas-TN game last night. We won in 6 OT's. and were ranked # 10 at the time. Those were the days, and totthink we used to complain about Clausan, Randy Sanders, Phil and John Chavis. Boy, the NC in 98 really spoiled us. I would love to have that team and coaches today. Witten won the game in the end. :good!:
