Blue & Gold

Well that's a relief. 274 and holding. 🤞

Wow. We just lost to Malone.

Awesome! No, no tickets required.

Yes.

Another fantastic article. Some extremely encouraging & endearing quotes from both Bubba and DJ. Definitely give it a click! Go Zips!!

Dayton beat Louisville? 👀

I certainly didn't want to Like your post, but then neither could I decide between the Laugh or Cry emoji. I think I'll go with Cry.

Kiwan Murphy looks awesome. Is there any way a true freshman could start on the DL? That'd be pretty remarkable. What are the physical prototypes looked for in D-linemen when running a 3-4 scheme? I'm more used to the 4-3, where you typically have 2 beefy DT's and 2 leaner, more athletic DE's. With 3 DL's, are there two typical DT's and 1 typical DE who switches sides depending on the offensive alignment? (I'm going to ask a similar question when we get to the 4 linebackers.)

I predict we'll probably redshirt Kellom, leaving us with four young, legit D-1 caliber backs in Norrils, Williams, Wiley, and Price. I'll take a stab at the depth chart: 1. Norrils (So.) 2. Price (R-So.?) 3. Williams (R-So.) 4. Wiley (R-So.) Caveat: Blake Hester was a very serviceable replacement after our RB crew was decimated last season. It'll be interesting to see if he's put on some weight during the offseason. I can't see him being our #1, but with his hard, one-cut-and-go, north-south running I could see him taking the place of Williams (whom I thought was pretty underwhelming) and/or Wiley (who's awfully light for a 6-2 back). And I know zilch about Dae'Vontay Latimer.

Hope he doesn’t keep shrinking 🙏

6-0, 210. Nice sized back! Hope he’s got some wheels.

@catdaddyp Thank you for another outstanding analysis. I'll admit that TE is a position I usually find easy to overlook.

Wild.

I'm taking that as an April Fool's joke. We're lucky... LUCKY... LUCKY to have such a popular mascot. Don't mess with Zippy.

😅 Missed this one earlier today

Yeah, it's a gamble. When you enter the TP you forfeit your scholarship.

Huh? Who to OU?

On my phone so can’t post link, but we’ve received a verbal commitment from an OL. Maurice Long, 6-6, 285, out of South Point, Ohio.

I vote we do that anyway!!!

I've thought about Marshall quite a bit over the past season. I think losing him hurt us this year more than we'll ever know.

Thank you so much for this! This series is going to be great! DJ is definitely the clear cut #1 coming into Spring Ball. But I'm glad you like what you see in Marousek. I think Joey is surprisingly athletic (he played short stop in HS baseball) and might surprise some people in what he can do in JoeMo's system.

The can of worms is open now. Is there any way to put the toothpaste back into the tube? I've thought this for about a week but hadn't posted, but if you look at the list of transfers on the Verbal Commits website is absolutely ludicrous. This simply is not sustainable. I think (hope?) It'll work itself out over the next handful of years. Kids will see that the grass is not typically greener on the other side of the fence. (I think our current roster will learn this while watching what happens with Ali's career.)
