Walk on, Preferred walk on, and Grey shirt

A little help, please. I think a grey shirt pays for his first year with the promise of a scholarship in the second year. So, what is a preferred walk on? What is the difference between a walk on and a preferred walk on? Does a preferred walk on come to campus with any promises?

I love it when our guys get some national recognition!

Ok, but what have you actually heard?

I heard that if JD got fired, then Nicely would transfer. Where? I dunno, just that he would leave.

Also, I heard that Glen Mason had inquired about the job. I don't know if UA can afford him, or if they would even be interested. He brings a nationally known name and instant credibility. He's a local guy and a disciplinarian which are great, but would he stay long enough for there to be any benefit?

Brian Winters is the other name that I actually heard thrown around, but it didn't seem like he was a real possibility. I think he would do a nice job.

Does anyone know if I got good information or was it all just hit air? We will see what happens, I guess. God, I hope they get it right!

Good things

I was impressed with Jacquemain and the wr's yesterday. There were a couple of drops but for the most part they did a pretty good job. Also, I thought the rb's ran hard even though there wasn't much room to roam. Poindexter is the short yardage "go to" guy in the passing game and he once again made the most of it. The defense had it's hands full, but they never quit and I'll give them credit for that. After that horrific 1 st quarter, I am surprised they were able to dig deep enough to keep going. Overall, it could have been better, but it coulda been a whole lot worse, too. Bring on Syracuse!

Hixon

I just stumbled onto this:

"Frank Schwab, of the Colorado Springs Gazette, reports Denver Broncos WR Domenik Hixon (shoulder) suffered a slight shoulder separation during practice Tuesday, July 31, but the injury is considered minor and Hixon should return to practice in the afternoon session."
