did you go to it? burke looked terrible.

and just b/c there wasn't a student section, doesn't mean students weren't there.

DeMario had wrist surgery durring the off season. He didn't get injured, he just isn't recovered enough to practice/play yet.

4/15/2007 3:34:26 AM

inside I meant I didn't see many students and well outside as well we got there at 10AM and set up shop in the lot right behind vaughn towers like I thought everyone was going to do and it was full...did some of yall still really go to the fairgrounds lot instead???

4/15/2007 4:41:15 AM

its just felt right

"why was Demario not playing?"

i think he has recovered from the wrist surgery, but he got a foot injury a couple weeks ago (he sits next to me in class some). i think he said he can take the brace off after 3 weeks or so, so i'd guess it's coming off soon. don't know how long until he can practice after that.

Who won???

not for a couple months, since the spring game was was the last spring practice

and wtf, Darrell Blackman drawing a celebration penalty in the freaking spring game? what happened to TOB instilling discipline?

^was that the play where he ripped off his helmet in the endzone?

I didn't even see a flag, but I couldn't believe he did that.

4/15/2007 2:18:42 PM

That was the play where he ripped his helmet off. I knew a flag was coming after that. I saw TOB talking to him on the sidelines right after it, but he didn't seem to be yelling.

4/15/2007 2:26:00 PM

its alright when you get the celebration penalty AFTER sealing the win.

4/15/2007 2:46:01 PM

iirc Czajowski went to the same highschool as Connar Barth at UNC
and the coach said taht Czajowski is better

4/15/2007 4:00:57 PM

^no thats our other kicker, Nathan Franklin....not sure why he didnt kick yesterday, unless he is going to be our punter...which he also did well in HS. Czajkowski is outta Virginia btw, and he went out and got a tattoo of the Block S on his left arm right after he committed to us.

4/15/2007 4:31:29 PM

bunch of pictures on packpride:

and yeah Burke didn't look stellar . . . but the second team Oline didn't exactly give him the best protection.


The guy who had that real long reception is a walk-on

"Czajowski or whatever his name is was kicking 50+ yarders with ease during warm ups and I think our punter is going to have a big leg, his punts had AMAZING hang time."

Yes he was. That was Franklin, the kid from Wilmington. Pierson was the left-footed kid who I believe is a junior. But the two redshirt freshmen kickers, Czajowski and Franklin looked really solid out there. Franklin's hangs on his punts were simply beautiful.

^^Isn't Czajowski from Georgia? Anyway they both have good legs which is needed since kickoff is from the 30 now in college too.

I knew Pressley was hurt, but what about Ray Brooks? He should be a junior this year correct? Why wasn't he out there?

4/15/2007 6:53:54 PM

well, our punter is going to be a juco guy in all probability. so don't get too hung up on the punts you saw yesterday.

and an interesting aside, the guy sitting behind me was wearing a bears superbowl XX ring. i didn't bother asking how he was apart of that team, but he was too old to have been a player.

[Edited on April 15, 2007 at 7:24 PM. Reason : i'll bet he knows ditka!]

4/15/2007 6:55:50 PM

^^Brooks is pretty much gone I believe. Too many problems over the past few years with him.

and no, Czajkowski is from Virginiahttp://www.gopack.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=41954&SPID=3730&DB_OEM_ID=9200&ATCLID=592827&Q_SEASON=2007

tailgates off to mid season form. This is part of our tailgating crew Oh and Nathan is a freshman from Hoggard...he was on JV while connor was on varsity, then connor graduated and he was on varsity and now he graduated and came here and connors brother who was on JV while he was on varsity is now the hoggard varsity kicker and being looked at by nc state, unc, ND, etc. Basically since 2001 hoggard has had awesome kickers. Bradley went to my sisters high school -East Duplin. He wasn't that good then but he is damn good now. Wonder why he wasn't allowed to kick yesterday?

4/15/2007 7:09:03 PM

plotting the takeover?

4/15/2007 7:32:11 PM

about the penalty thing. TOB didn't yell at Blackmon, but he sure enough let him have an earful. He "calmly" pointed out that since the other team would accept the penalty on the kickoff they would have 16 sec to throw into the endzone from the 40 instead of having to return a kick and start at the 20.

4/15/2007 10:00:51 PM

BLACKMAN
BLACKMAN

WITH AN A

WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE SPELL IT WITH AN O??!?!

4/15/2007 10:01:33 PM

because they don't care

4/15/2007 10:41:24 PM

They're having relapses of seeing BC's Blackmon tear it up against us two years ago.

4/16/2007 12:41:07 AM

^No thanks to AJ Davis.

He got burned countless times in that game.

4/16/2007 12:19:28 PM

I'm tired of the Burke looked terrible crap. He has the best motion and made good decisions...playing with the 2nd string offense. If you would have stayed for more than the first quarter, you could have seen it. All Beck did was throw it 50 yards and not complete any of them. Burke is def. a contender for the spot, but DE had a great game...we'll see.

4/16/2007 12:43:36 PM

This herb sendek of football needs to get us to a consistent level so we can hurry up and hire someone to push us over the top

you're nuts, his passes looked like they were thrown by a girl, seriously, no zip on them at all.

and i stayed for the whole time.

4/16/2007 1:03:57 PM

yeah, i never made it out of the parking lot...

4/16/2007 1:16:24 PM

haha two of his interceptions were lame duck(wobbly) throws

4/16/2007 1:54:36 PM

I'm still undecided on Burke . . . but Beck def likes throwing the long ball. Thats fine as long as you can complete some, but he didn't. And the short passes he didn't have any touch, just rocketed them in there and the reciever couldn't catch it.

Evans def looked the best on Sat, although he made several mistakes and should have also had an interception or two.

4/16/2007 2:03:43 PM

I agree with the interceptions but post the stats. Plus Burke's first INT was like his 1st or 2nd throw of the game. Not to say it should have happened but you have to point out the good passes too. He was def hitting crossing routes.

4/16/2007 2:06:37 PM

I wouldnt be surprised to see any of the three QBs starting. You cant draw any conclusions from the spring game other than that it is Evans' job to lose still. Unfortunately we wont be there to see how he does it if he does, but thats why we're not the head coach and Red Tom is...

I personally was most impressed with Beck's size and strength. He obviously has the most potential (athletically), but then again we said the same thing about Marcus Stone.....

saw some zone bitches

4/16/2007 3:09:01 PM

yea Dajuan morgan did a Safety blitz from the blind side on Evans and was untouched, he got there FAST and sacked Evans...

when i saw it i was like

4/16/2007 3:12:25 PM

how come every backup or red-shirted QB we have is the 2nd coming of joe montana before we even see him in a game?
