A few thoughts on Spring game and the rest of Spring practice:

Sounds promising, as expected.

What I didn’t expect are a couple of the names you brought up.

Whether it was tantamount to Willie holding back a lot of the projected starters, or simply some guys coming out of nowhere (or both) is inconsequential to me.

What matters is it sounds like there is talent, and perhaps more depth, than we may have realized, to this point.

…and it speaks to continued great recruiting.

Go Coogs !

Great attitudes and perspectives from all of them. Smart, eager young men.

But the thing that stood out to me the most was their CONFIDENCE.

I only watched Conner’s but he seems like a really good kid. I hope that he succeeds.

All of those players in the interview seemed to feed off the leadership and attitude of Willie Fritz!

I keep hearing good things about the Yale transfer on the D-line.

I wasn’t here during Bill Y but willie is probably our best overall coach since Bill Y . I’m talking loyalty, fundamentals, commitment without the wandering eye like Herman etc. He pays attention to offense , defense and special teams. Briles and Jenkins only cared about offense. Pardee was good but not a long termer. Sumlin had wandering eyes. The others weren’t good enough . Willie is a keeper so we have some great days ahead with football. We should have hired him long ago.

ā€œConner hit the lottery with this WR corps.ā€

The segment ended with attendance talk; we’re all cautiously optimistic.
