It has been a hot summer. Hard to get fall football fever when it is 100 degrees.

Right now, it is high recruiting season with summer camps, 7 on 7s, etc and I talk recruiting on the Nole board....

How are the Nole's doing?

They have 13 commits..will only take 18..so only five slots open. The Noles will be turning down talented kids...kids like Barry Sanders, Jr. There is no room to take another RB with a stable full of young backs coming in on the 2011 class and the #4 2012 RB committed.

Of the 13 2012 commits, 8 are in the top 10 at their position..all (except unrated kicker) are top 15.

The 2012 DE's are crazy...Mario Edwards #1 DE, Dante Fowler #2 DE, Chris Casher #9 DE.

It might still be a little early. Although I have not seen hide nor hair of Eric for months now, and that worries me.
They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.

The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.

See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.

Once August gets here it'll pick up and we'll see the light at the end of the tunnel. Football season really starts for me once the initial football pool email goes out about 4 weeks prior to opening weekend.

Well it's hard to be hyped when your team lost the quarterback who has the most wins in school history, both 1,000 yard rushers, and has only a few seniors left. We're returning only 12 starters, 6 on offense, 6 on defense. We lost QB, Punter, Kicker, and both RB's.

The good news? New 6'6" QB who appears to have quite an arm and is surrounded by some of the greatest receivers to come out of Blacksburg. We're returning one of the best corners in the nation and theres a few others that have shown great potential. Most of the offense returning starters are on the O-Line.

Yeah...Eric has been gone a while.

I have wondered if he has been busy...

I haven't heard from him in a while either. I'm hoping everything is alright with him.

The computer in the prison library has probably been on the blink.

Free rent and 3 meals a day plus you don't have to work! The work thing via the Supreme Court told the State of California when Reagan was governor you cant make inmates work! Sounds almsot idyllic to me.

I just haven't been on here much. A combination of work and Internet issues and family stuff. I did browse the forum a couple times per month, but I should have commented on something so you guys would know I'm still alive :lol:
