I was missing an important comma. Morgan is the one that left; both Moore and Hooks are still there, just not as good as advertised.Quote:

Things could get really bad really quick for them. Thin OL allows Wallace to get hurt, then its two redshirt freshmen in line. But they are both 4 *'s, so all is well. ******
We had the same type luck in 2010 and then it ran out in 2011. It's not unheard of to make it through a year without any significant OL injuries, but it's not something you want your season depending on. I sure wish we had another OT we could count on right now.Quote:

I worry more about Day staying healthy than anyone...losing him would cause some problems
Im sure they are trying to pool some money to get him "happy" to be in Oxford. They know the consequence of losing him and they will make damn sure they do everything to keep him there.
We will have, using last year's numbers, the 30th most(starting) experienced OL in the country...Quote:

I read something on Nafoom where one of the posters was saying the coaching staff had to go to his house in January and beg him to come back after Christmas break. That doesn't sound like a sick relative. That sounds like a "Man, what the 17 was I thinking signing with this dump of a program?". If he does indeed leave the program and then if - or when - Tunsil gets hurt that offensive line is not going to be able to stop anybody. It won't matter of CBS has a miraculous healing of his shoulder allowing him to launch it 70 yards in the air because his WR's won't have time to get 5 yards downfield before the defensive line is making a personal acquaintence with him. And with no decent running threat to take the pressure off...you know since they didn't need a big power back like Aeris because they had their 5'9" 180 lbs backs...it could spell a long season offensively.
I don't mean to be an ass, but how many other college athletes do you think have sick grandparents? It's just a fact of life that old people get sick and pass. I may be insensitive because I never got the opportunity to meet any of my grandparents before they passed but is this really a reason to transfer schools? Our starting QB had a mother back in LA who was fighting for her life the entire time Dak was at college but he stuck it out here for his teammates and his University. Couldn't be more proud of Dak.
What's the verdict? Is he gone? Is he not?

No one uses the sick grandfather excuse more than Ole Miss. Whether it's for players coming or going.Quote:

We've got at least 3 -- likely to be 4 -- tackles that are game ready. We haven't had that before. The fact that Senior hasn't seen one damn snap at right tackle to the best of my knowledge tells us all we need to know about how Mullen feels about the position. He was already our 2nd best tackle by the end of last year. And that isn't even including the 5th yr SR that is likely to be around for depth purposes only...
I do find it odd that Freeze said that he doesn't think they would block him from transferring directly to an SEC West school.
Good to know.Quote:

OM is a house of cards at the moment. Freeze brought them "back" way too quickly. It'll show this season if the injury bug nips at all.
I don't. It's probably the deal where Golson says "I'm going to Auburn or I am talking to the media about recruitapalooza 2013. What's it gonna be Rev.?Quote:

I suspect Ole Miss has quite a few players with total leverage on them after 2013. It could get real interesting if several of those guys just now realize after this incident to what degree they have them by the balls. House of cards is right, Pollo.
To everyone saying we would be screwed with a couple of injuries, well yea, every single damn team in the country is not build well enough to take multiple O-line hits. The whole offensive line analysis is beaten to death by people who are more than just the casual fan. Our offensive line isn't the greatest, but I think its plenty good enough to accomplish what we should this season.
If this happens, which player(s) do the same thing? If I'm tunsil, I announce I'm transferring within the hourQuote:

Freeze and his booster minions did all they could to get OM back "relevant" again overnight. But they've had paid to a high a price for it. It's like the French at Borodino. You won, but the vitcory will be Pyrrhic. It always is for them. I hope the 2012 EB was fun, bitches.
When you pay players they own you... not the other way around.Quote:

We also hope/think Clayborn is going to be good but he wasn't good last year albeit as a true freshman. Some argued Beckwith was the weak link last year and now he is back and we call RG solid? And Clausell has never been particularly good as a run blocker. Senior hasn't moved to RT b/c you can't be 280 pounds and play RT in the SEC. Day is an above average Center due to all of the playing time, but his injury has been rumored to be somewhat serious. This is the unit that may prevent us from hitting our high expectations.Quote:
