I don't know.
He looked much better Saturday, but he's still got a long way to go. I know Golden pretty well, and I have no idea what's been going through his head for the last few weeks. He's just seemed different.

no doubt..hope he pulls out of whatever funk he is in and finds his old form..

Which was a bigger contributing factor to the teams positive attitude toward off season workouts?
A. The energy Butch Jones and his staff have brought
B. The absence of certain players that didn't really give a crap about stuff like that

I am attending my first game ever in TBA on Saturday. My last home game was in 1983 at Stokely. Anything you recommend that we do or see in the building before the game?

Wow, thought I was the only VFL who has never been in the "new" arena.

I'm always down in the media area, so I'm actually a really bad person to ask. I bet people who sit in the stands will know a lot more.

I'd lean more toward A., from what I've seen and heard.

1. No.
2. Close ... but I think so.
3. Slighly over, if the weather cooperates.
4. Too soon to say.
5. Cubs have a winning season. Couple years from now.
6. How can I answer that? I love both guys.
7. We shared flirty banter on Twitter and then met in person and hit it off from the beginning.
8. Let me think on this.

7. I am guessing you both did more research than Manti Teo or any person on the show Catfish!!!

(The bathroom.) The guy asked what to do and see at TBA prior to the game.

Is it a particularly nice bathroom? Is it more like a throne room than a bathroom?

Wes, have you discussed with CBJ the criteria for deciding which of our QBs will be with the 1s next year? Would he value a QB with the ability to run over a pure pocket guy with superior passing skills who is immobile? Is being able to command the offense, regardless of ability to run, the most important factor?
