Could it be that both are at the NYC banquet....and that the "Peter Pan" punt return is being recognized???

Just throwing this out there.

Seth is likely still in New York.  Nothing to see here.

[golfingomez]

maybe Biagi is interviewing to be the HC at Kansas St?

That would be easy to explain to team. No reasoning was giving

Is Bussey practicing?

Probably because he's either interviewing or finalizing a deal with KSU. That's the only thing I can think of that would keep him from getting back in time for practice.

That's one of the most important questions about this practice.  When he was injured I immediately thought he might be done for the year. 

[MeanGreenTexan]

Who ran practice?   Mainord?

[Greendylan]

The actual NFF Awards Dinner is tonight in New York.  It makes sense that he would remain there.

Still, if he is indeed keeping our players in the dark about his absence at such a critical time, that would speak volumes about where his priorities currently lie.  

[MeanGreenTexan]

Maybe it was assumed at practice today (after a meeting with coach on Sunday prior to his departure) that he wasnt going to be there today?

Now, Biagi... ?    As I lean right now, I would put his departure at a higher percentage than Littrell's.

cancel the bowl game-two teams without HC will be a good game to watch (not).  They might as renamed it Who Cares Bowl". Look at SMU last year it was a pathetic effort.  The players from both teams will be in the dumps for this game. I might rethink my plans now.

Feel free to watch Tulane VS ULL instead.

Ok, the players are psych up for the game and I am not.  As a fan, I am no longer looking forward to it and I feeling little down about it.  We all knew this was a bus stop for SL when he took the job and he would be moving on.  I just thought he would accomplish the goals before leaving and one more year with his recruits we would have been great shape.   I just don't know of a better coach out there that will take this job.  Wren, please prove me wrong and I never want to go back to #olddenton.

We’d get a glimpse of the potential head coach for next year.  Will there be any changes to the offense with an interim?  Not all is lost, man. The seniors have busted tail.  GMG!

I wonder if EJ will sit it out and prepare for the NFL draft.  Seems to be happening more and more outside the playoff teams and the NYD teams.

I think EJ needs more game film on him to prove that he is indeed NFL ready. He's NFL Caliber in My opinion. I hope he gets an invite to the Senior Bowl if they havent sent those invites out yet.

Agree.   Sitting out the bowl game is for guys who are projected to go 1st/2nd rounds.

EJ is a phenomenal player, and will make a NFL team very very happy, but I don't know that enough NFL scouts' eyeballs have been on him over the past 2 years.   And we all know how little publicity he gets playing in a C-USA school.  Playing in one of 4 games on December 15th will allow for more scouts to see him.  And if not the Senior Bowl, hopefully the East-West Shrine game.

He's no-doubt going to ball out in New Mexico, and our Pro Day will be full of scouts there to see him.   They'll also get a good look at Nate, Kemon & Rod Young (The most under-the-radar guy on the team, with apologies to Kelvin Smith).

Coach Littrell missed days of practice either last year or two years ago during the bowl season as well. Just saying

And everything worked out great!

[IdRatherNot]

I’m saying he wasn’t present, yet he’s still the coach. Worrying about things you can’t control seems like a waste of time

Don't bring your rational, logical BS in here....

We're done. Accept it.
