Hope Springs Eternal...In The Spring

Gangsta D:

Graig Cooper broke free for a 60 yard TD in today's 11-on-11 work
* The play of the day today came courtesy of freshman tailback Graig Cooper. Cooper took a pitch in 11-on-11 drills, was bottled up and then reversed field. He broke free and outran the entire defense untouched for a 60-yard touchdown.

Every spring somebody goes off and looks to be the next whoever, only to crash and burn when the season rolls around. Last year Sam Shields was supposedly unstoppable, but he only had an OK year, including a HORRRRRIBLE drop against FSU. I don't even know what to believe anymore. I'm gonna hate June and July. Is it September yet?

Da Realist:

you got it bad if you're keeping up with spring practice. that's just below "recruiting season". you're moving from 'die-hard' fan to 'obnoxious off-season message board posting, no-life having homer that defends the honor of the third string cornerback because he had a bad scrimmage' fan.

Miami U only has three of those. don't you be the fourth.

Gangsta D:

Yeah, like you're not praying to God Jimbo Fisher will implement some dynamite into FSU's offense this spring. You know me. If someone on my team sucks, i say they suck. Besides, I haven't posted on a message board in at least two months. I just want a healthy serving of crow to be eaten this fall, and i want Shannon to serve it.

I'm obnoxious the whole year, why single out the off-season?

Da Realist:

nah...i was just playing. but i have tuned into warchant a few times and caught myself thinking, "these people are CRAZY". trash talking in february when you don't even know the makeup of the team? or who will start at quarterback? and everybody on the board knows somebody who knows somebody that works in the athletic department. they swear they got down low secret info about who will start, who will get fired and how much money the starting wide-receiver is getting under the table.

maybe some of these people need to spend some time with their wives/families during the offseason. maybe then they won't get the cold shoulder from september to february. just a thought. :-D

Gangsta D:

I just read for the entertainment value. You have your eternal optimists and your eternal pessimists and everybody KNOWS they're right. On the sun-sentinal blog, dudes argue about gay rights, whether 300 is better than gladiator, religion, politics, etc. Before Shannon got hired, one poster demanded that if people didn't refer to him as King Dingaling, he wouldn't clue the blog in on who was getting hired. I mean seriously? But sure enough, a grip of people called him that. But he didn't have any info at all. It's always high comedy...
