If they do, I hope they have that same awful 90 second intro before the 30 seconds of interview.

Exactly. With the Get Smart theme.

Zero camp coverage so far. Unacceptable.

Hey, maybe they are putting in Read One & Run 1.1 and don't want Penn State to know.

More like a brief mention than a discussion about the QB competition

"Tommy looks like he did during the bowl season"..."Warren Ball is 230 and runs a 4.49".... "Running game will take the pressure off the QB's early this year" are the quotes I came away with.

 

Coach brings up an interesting question, "How many MAC players are in the HOF?"

[LZIp]

2 I believe. Taylor and Lambert.

 

Coming down the pipeline.....Probably Gates, Harrison, Ben and maybe Antonio Brown and Mack if they keep it up? Am I missing anyone?

Randy Moss.

[LZIp]

Few things here. Andre Williams had 2 great catches at approx. the 53 second and 1:37 marks. TW is suited up and playing. Bickley had a few TDs. It would be nice if he gave us something this year. He showed some promise his true freshman year but not much after that which is why I'm assuming he transferred the first time.

 

[Blue & Gold]

Whoa.  True frosh Andre Williams had a sweet 1-handed grab.

 

Nice seeing him come out strong like that; he'll be playing with a lot of confidence.

JB1....I'm a believer.

 

I won't be surprised if Williams plays this year. 

 

Also, even though it's pre-season, our receiving corps has come a long way since 2014.

Not sure if these are listed anywhere, but here are the jersey number changes I've noticed so far; Shawn Featherstone #2, Van Edward #7, Jordan George #7, Manny Morgan #9, Michael Kish #11

WOW.  A little in-depth reporting from GT.  Amazing.

 

And I will be Chapman's biggest fan if he's really taken that attitude into his "demotion" to WR.

Superlatives. How about you make 10 catches and block like a warrior.

We are all cheering for him, I think. He has demonstrated a great attitude and a team first mentality. I hope this turns into redemption for him

Don't over-exert yourself, George.

Going to a player and getting some insight/backstory/comments about his transition from one position to another?

 

That's major league journalism on a level we don't see very often

Here is something I didn't know: "....with help from his father, Thad Jemison, who played receiver in the early ’80s at Ohio State." I think Thad was a Kent assistant coach too.
