Tyreke!!

Love hearing Lawrence and Chumley performing well. 

Curious if anyone else is attending practice/has thoughts. Maybe @SilverEagle?

Also do we know if the scrimmage will be open to the public tomorrow?

Would still love to know if the shirt Coach Yellock is wearing is available to purchase.

With Lawerence breaking out (so far), could he be passing Hair-Griffen for that slot role?

Also, wondering if this going to force Darden to play amazing to prevent from being RSed. 

Also, good to hear about Sanders and Davis... Those 2 I think will be critical to our defense in replacing McClain and Dee

[GrayEagle]

And, in the 'what gives' department...

I thought that I saw a post from Ryan Bishop last week that said that he was giving up football.  But, in today's video I saw the number 58 and I checked and,  sure enough, 58 belongs to Ryan Bishop.  I can only guess that whatever sent him to the verge of retiring corrected itself and he's good to go. 

Deserves an attaboy!

That would be Zack Bishop. Ryan Bishop is his brother.

Starting to wonder if Cade is headed towards a Red Shirt?

I would like to see them install a permanent bench at the "Darrell R. Dickey Football Practice Facility" and dedicate it to Brett V.

He could then change it up and say -

I would love for them to RS Cade, and make it a yearly thing to do with our freshman QBs.. One thing that Pearson has that Fine lacked last year was accuracy, but again Fine wasn't helped by dropped passes and an OL that allowed pressure way to often. 

Figure out what they have at QB, Play Fine/Quinn/Izzy/Carson/Ohara and find out if they are just practice arms or gameday worthy. We have 2 good QBs (who are both rated ahead according to 24/7- Pearson .7826, Bean- .7958, Martin- .7858) coming in next year. Izzy is the highest rated QB, believe he was a .80+ player according to 24/7 but is a PWO. 

By the time Martin/Bean RS and can play Fine will be a SR, Quinn and Izzy will be gone, and Pearson will be a RS Soph...

Quentin Jackson is a guy to watch as well.

Or the Darrell R. Dickey Head Coach of North Texas From 1998-2006 Winner of 4 Straight Sunbelt Championships Practice Fields?

I'd prefer the Matt Phillips memorial bench. Kid was a team player and did some good things in reserve of Daniel Meager.

Don't forget the 26 consecutive conference victories and the NOLA bowl win. Don't want to disappoint Don Vito.

I wonder if people are aware that Derek Thompson was the MVP of the Heart of Dallas Bowl?

I'm not sure but they could always be reminded.

Yep. It should be "reporting from the Bret Vito bag chair beneath the shade tree outside the fence surrounding the HOF Coach Darrell R Dickey, 4 bowl team, 26 game conference winning streak practive field."
