The CheckerBoard

I'm excited to see these young guys step up and show what they can do.

Hi. My name is Gregg. I'm an eternally optimistic, slightly delusional fan. {Hi Gregg} I know we lost two first round talents at WR. I know. And we lost the NFL worthy QB who delivered all the balls to all that talent. But I just can't help being excited about the possibilities of this offense. Like Wes pointed out, the Cupboard is far from bare. We have highly rated talents that have been sitting around waiting for their turn. And because of the number of WRs we have, surely everyone can agree that the competition between the corp is going to be through the roof as everyone believes they have a shot at a starting spot. (Which a little side note, and SIAP, but the Orange, White, and Blue jerseys thing is brilliant. And unveiling that whole thing a couple of days after we beat Kentucky . . . I love what a tongue cheek "f&%$ you" that is to our neighbors to the north.) Paul Harris already has built some lore around his name. He's been there since January. By my estimation, if we weren't so loaded already, North seems like the kind of talent that would push for playing time this fall, which he may anyways. Add a hungry Bowles to the mix and not one, but TWO crafty white kids. On top of that, we're replacing our superstar QB, who honestly didn't win many games for us, with a QB who has been around the college game for two years, was a winner in high school, and was the Gatorade Player of the Year his senior season, which is the fact that everyone loves to forget about Worley. I still remember watching him toss approximately one million TD passes against Jadaveon Clowney's team when they were in HS. And last but not least, I'll end with a question. When is the last time we had this much talent and experience on the O line? I really am, genuinely asking. I can't remember. I think this group will go down as close to one of the best. Oh yeah, and Rajion Neal is going to be trying to play his way into the NFL . . . and we've cleansed our system of all the toxic negative shit that was swirling around the program as Dooley went down like a flaming Zeppelin. Please, Lord, let us have hit bottom. I just don't see how we can go any further down. Cliche alert! I think we're going to surprise some people this year.

New quarterback throwing to a fairly young and inexperienced group of receivers and TE's..expect some growing pains next year.

Fair enough.
