You have to love the fact that Antwaan still comes around.  I even liked him when he played for Knight.  LOL

Antwaan Randle El was a god when I was 9

I briefly met ARE in college. Seemed like a cool dude. Wasn't a very big guy at all. Even smaller than I expected.

I'm honestly still surprised he didn't win the Heisman but at least we have a winner.

We were 5-6 (and only that good because Randle El was that dude), so he was never winning with that record. If we had a decent coach and some offensive help it could have been possible. The fact that he finished 6th in voting on that crap team is a testament to the legend of ARE.

Pretty pessimistic on Florida, Vandy, and Ole Miss

Plus LSU will riot if they win 8 or 9 games.  They are convinced they got the next Saban for some reason.  
 

10.5 is pretty fair.  If Michigan were at home might still be hard to bump us up any further.

8 or 9 seems about right for LSU. They have talent but establishing a system with mostly new players could take a year or 2. 

10.5 is where I thought as well. Stay healthy and we probably only drop 1 or 2 of our difficult games.

Tucker is developing into another John Randle.

A must-watch video. This is Bones Jones’s defense.

So incredibly good to get five+ minutes of our guys hard at work.

Let’s

Go

I’ve heard rumors of potentially new uniforms? Maybe just the upgraded Adidas template, but was curious if there was any truth to that

[CSP]

By the looks of some twitter pics...

C- Lynch

RG-Brunner

... by that, I'm guessing Ajani at RT. 

[CSP]

Also-- career starts OL

Lynch- 29

Smith- 42

Evans- 21

Brunner- 24 (at least)

 

That's going to pay dividends... pray for health.

First presser in a long time.  Spring practice has kicked off.

This is funny (per Osterman): "Cignetti asked about Nick Marsh. Says he loved his film last year vs. Maryland. "I didn't love those gold shoes he came out in today. He learned what getting your @$$ ripped is all about. I don't know if he got much of that at Michigan State." This draws laughs.
