I am serious. And don't call me Shirley... Sorry. Had to do it

*see next post

I grew up in Ron Reed summer camps and I have tons of respect for him...I wish him nothing but the best and know he will give nothing short of 110% in this job. Good Luck Coach!

Nice work. I hope, above all else, that we can get Wall. He is a phenomenal talent who could bring programs to that next level, especially with the talent we should have on board. I just personally don't believe, from what I've read, we are going to. But I'll take you for your word and keep the faith. Richmond would be a welcome addition to the Nation!

Coupon, could you tell Mr. Dunn to expand the strike zone with 2 strikes. Cutting down on K's would make him look a whole lot better in my humble opinion. He could be a fantastic player if his batting average was around .270-.285 range. Then I would embrace him much more. As long as he flounders around the .240-.260 mark, as he tends to do, I will not be a fan.

I have been arguing, in the comfortable realm of close friends, that we should've gotten rid of Dunn for at least 2 years now. He has a great eye, he hits for power...to quote Matt Foley (aka the late Chris Farley)- "Whoopti Freakin Doo!". In The Great American "Small"park, who couldn't hit with some pop?? He doesn't lead on a young team. He is lazy. He could give ManRam a run for the worst defensive left fielder in baseball, IMO. The time has come to restructure the landscape in the Queen City and I believe it starts with Dunn, although it most certainly shouldn't end there.

From all I can gather, this is correct. I don't think we have a shot at Wall. I am not saying that is the case, just MO. Does anyone know if he is possibly a Wes guy? If saying that is against the rules (?), I am sorry and do not reply to that.

This year maybe another long one in Devil land. There is hope that some new players will come out in the new Kidwell era, but ofcourse, it's wait and see. I predict a more productive season than last, but this is still not a team that will compete for anything major, IMO. They will be well coached, though. Kidwell is a smart basketball guy who will get everything out of his guys, and young asst. coach Joe Bryan is a very savvy basketball mind. They've got good leadership no matter what.

How will Raceland-Russell game turn out this year? Predictions anyone? It's never too early to start

That's a gutsy prediction isn't it? Just a question, but who will be the RB taking snaps...or what everyone else calls a QB?

Yes, she is a good kid and I hope she can make it this year without any setbacks. It's awful to see such a good player/person have so much trouble physically.

From what I have heard...and this is purely speculation...Russell is very high on Hughes and love her resume'...not sayin there are favorites...but I know she is up on the list. Bryan is not a contender for the job. He will be coaching with Kidwell.

I can name a lot more teams who were talented and failed than I could talent-less teams who did great things. Coach Kidwell is a good coach who knows a great deal about basketball. The Russell girls were lucky to have him and it has showed.

I read that as well Brotha...guy is very credible as well...I'm excited! This kid reportedly has played with older talent for a long time and has held his own...projected to be a top-10 guy in his class....but he has 5 years to figured this out...thats a long time...good sign for us that BCG may want to hang around though?

Sidenote-They took a guy who wasn't even in the NFL's player database (Hayes)...ahead of Hawkins. They must be very sneaky in Tennessee...

The players are also being asked to wear pegged jeans, mesh tank tops and British Knights as pregame attire. :lol:

Castille is a steal for us. He was a projected mid- to late- round pick. Also the OL from Bama is a solid pickup. Purify could be a very good receiver as a 4th option. He may beat out Gabriel for roster spot. He was decentat Nebraska. Good pickups.

Enjoy Sweed for about 6-8 games because his seasonal injury will set in after that!! As far as Bengals are concerned, I will have to say B-. I love that we addressed need and still stayed with our board. The Shirley kid will be forgiven IF he can clean up his act. We are due for someone to learn a lesson. The safety from Appy St. will be a solid special teamer/backup. He's a smart football guy. I am not informed on Kansas lineman, although I've heard good things about him. Urrutia better show up in shape or I will be blasting Bengals for not taking Erin Henderson of Maryland. Why did he not get drafted BTW? Kid is a stud. Hello! FA signing???

This must either be a firestarter or a joke. Did you forget about his national record for attempts without and interception, as someone has already mentioned? Or his SEC-record 40 tds? Or his countless clutch drives late in games over the last couple years that never occurred before? Yes, the team is better than its been in the past, but QBs get all the love or all the hate, and Dre' was THE man. Go back to Knoxville or Louisville or whatever 'ville your'e from and quit hating!!

Small chance he'll qualify...needs a busy summer to do so. BCG went and looked at transcripts in person and didn't like what he saw. As far as Meeks goes, well, he isn't going. Anywhere. Rumor mill is wearing me out.

Those are some sweet threads...good work!

Congrats to Coach Kidwell and his staff...best of luck in '08-'09!

Mackey is no longer enrolled at the school he was in...He is probably not going to qualify and thus would have to get a GED...IF he avoids jailtime...he will be in JUCO... IMO he will not be playing D1 ball this year at least...

No on both fronts. Chiefs want Matt Ryan or a top flight O-Lineman and they got a promising receiver last year in Bowe. Now, they want to trade Jared allen for draft picks, but it could be possible they'd listen to a Chad for Allen deal. And no way the Lions trade a top flight receiver for a back coming off a down year. As bad as Matt Millen is, he is not that dumb.

Terrell Owens-Grumbled about not getting paid enough and caused mass destruction in Philly. Also may have led to undisclosed injuries to Donovan McNabb by throwing him under a bus numerous times. Willis Mcgahee-Showed no thanks to the team who drafted a guy noone wanted after horrific knee injury by forcing trade from Buffalo to already solid team Chad Johnson-The fun-loving showboat who was the darling of the Queen City for years has turned sour on the organization who gave him a chance when he came out of Oregon St., has blamed it on criticism and (justifiably) bad front office moves. Now has blasted former good friend Carson Palmer on National radio. The common denominator for all of these players- Drew Rosenhaus, a.k.a. Satan. He spits poisonous whispers into the ears of these formerly content players to disrupt everything, IMO (and probably everyone elses as well).
