we were playing a lot of young guys who probably don't take handoffs
in practice from Woodson that much.

the freshman tailback-- forgot the name-- looks great. but I bet this
week they'll be goin' over the plays and practicing with the starting
team. its really inexcusable to lose games because of bull$hit like
that safety.

besides, Woodson is a huge part of the team. why risk him getting
hurt. that was a weird play. they must of thought that Ark was gonna
drop into pass coverage and Woodson wouldn't have much resistance but
$hit, it was just a conversion. I still think it was dumb. Brooks
does some weird stuff, like that 1 point conversion against loserville
instead of going for 2. but I can't argue with success. it probably
keeps the competition wondering what we're gonna do.

I thought the defensive line looked a little weak in terms of a pass-
rush. The QB had all day to look around for an open receiver.

me too. yet I'm shocked at how we just come back from adversity and
move the ball like the Colts or something. this team looks like it's
something to be reckoned with and if we could just cut out the stupid
mistakes then there are some SEC powerhouses that are gonna get
surprised.

I look back at how I bad-mouthed Rich Brooks. the man has really made
a supporter out of me. he's recruited some good talent and put
together a team that is impressive. I wonder why it took so long?
maybe he just needed the right recruits. you gotta hand it to
Barnhart to see what he was doing and to let him stay on.

yeh. I was used to getting out the KY jelly and cringing when I
looked at the scores on ESPN.
