Brisset ("JBII") WILL START (Driskel , while there, didn't even dress, I'm told). Well. Fate seems to be INSISTING on us giving ALL our young QBs a good look this year. Strange, but maybe all for the best, eventually? Not what any of us had in mind, but it IS what we've got.
RUF-Radio-guys aren't reporting it as of yet, but I can assure you that unless they're lying to their own assistants, this is real. What they ARE talking about is how BIG the Alabama players are, bigger and stronger in every way than any team they've seen in some time, that "LSU is talented but..." they don't match up overwhelmingly with us like 'Bama over EVERYONE...they are clearly implying "something", noting that this differential "is raising questions", though they don't say with whom. Perhaps I'm naive, but that hadn't occurred to me until now, the "better living through chemistry"-angle. Don't want to make wild accusations just because they beat us soundly--are there any OTHER "signs"? Has anyone heard any whispers that might snowball?
I'm sure y'all are getting a kick out of the 'Noles' problems with WAKE FORREST (who just got a safety, and have a small lead), now. Lowered your sites a bit there, boys, in this, your "Big Year"? Still looking forward to the Swamp on Thanksgiving weekend?
...And hey E-: How about that Red River (not-so-much-a) Rivalry? Actually, their problems parallel ours rather closely, right down the line--except WE have our speedsters, while THEY have a nice power-back (that Fozzy is fast AND a load--and he'll be there next year). It'll be interesting to see how far they come how fast. It's a different approach: where we are transforming entirely not only our personnel but the KIND of team we are, Texas I think is mostly where they want to be, just really young and inexperienced. They're going to mainly stand pat, just plan on getting BETTER at EVERYTHING, with time, experience, and coaching.
OK, enough about everyone else (popping first Heiny), gonna get some wings and settle in for this one. I'll try to stay out of the way in-game unless I have something positive to contribute--or I just can't HELP myself! What--37 minutes to KO?
