i think it would be better to compare Thomas and Finley, since they both had starting experience prior to transferring here.

nah...tons of coaches - even from really good schools - go into the season without a starter announced. it's not remotely unheard of. if we go into the ECU game still scratching our heads and not knowing, then you can begin to worry. this isn't really any indication that the staff doesn't know what they're doing.

8/31/2016 10:34:25 AM

haven't we beat ranked fcs teams in previous years?

8/31/2016 10:36:20 AM

probably

8/31/2016 10:49:22 AM

^^^ Good point.

Counter point: 0-8

I dont think this is true. I think Drink has only made small changes to the offense this season. This season we will probably see many of the same plays, formations and terminology, but diff play calls in diff situations and diff personnel focus.

I dont think they wanted to unload a new offense on the whole team, do it piecemeal.

you can think this staff sucks. i don't really care. but the fact that they haven't named a starter is not an example of that.

Please tell me how you came to this conclusion?

No one knows how the offense will run except those close to the program...you have an inside source?

And the DBs still suck, they better hope for one hell of a year from chubb

What's a safe number of Natty Daddy's that can be shotgunned?

8/31/2016 2:42:35 PM

shotgunning anymore than 1 natty daddy is NOT recommended.

8/31/2016 2:47:35 PM

Keg of Natty Daddy at the moontower

8/31/2016 3:15:25 PM

^^^ i'd probably go 3 if i was late to the tailgating

8/31/2016 3:23:25 PM

3? pansy.

8/31/2016 3:25:11 PM

Hope you guys are right about the QB situation. McClendon not winning it seems damning to me. But then again last time I was this unexcited for State football MOC was head coach and Torry had graduated.

8/31/2016 4:02:22 PM

^we started that season with a win @ Texas though!

I'm so close to the program that I can get secret DD quotes that are ONLY available to the public

"Coach's system... he does put the ball in the quick game part of what we do, the screens. Perimeter passing game will look a lot different.  Formationally, there's not a lot he does that's different than what we did before. I think it's just how fast it's happening. Some of the play selection is different.""
