Now THAT'S what I call excellent service. Thanks, GT!

Clarification: I’ve been asked whether Green’s Andrew Pratt has a legit shot at some playing time. Coach Bowden said point blank that Jerrod Dillard, a junior wide receiver, needs someone to challenge him. Although he was good in practice yesterday, Pratt was better, including making tough catch in the corner of the end zone for a score. Can he see the field this year?

Yes. Given the team’s record the past two years, the best players will play regardless of class. If that’s a bunch of vets, so be it. But if it’s a significant number of first or second-year players, what is there to lose? Nothing. What is there to gain? Players with experience who can mature and grow. It’s a no-brainer.

Really good insights on team leadership.

I think the prefix "un" may have been inadvertently left off of the word "realistic" in the following statement:

..... while thinking the Zips will make some fantastic leap in just one year is realistic .....

I'd be happy with a moderate leap.
