According to rivals, he's up to 285 now. I like the size for a OL. I hope we quit recruiting these guys that go 350 and are too slow to block somebody.Quote:

Umm, how much time did Skip have to assemble a staff and recruit in year 1?
Most of the time he was here was a dead period.
So basically, he assembled a whole new staff and signed the players someone else recruited? He finished 4-8, Dykes and Dooley finished 5-7 in year 1. Are we really that much worse as a program? We need quality QB and o-line play!Quote:

True…and in a move of brilliant scheduling, we set up a schedule to absorb those losses and still have a great chance to go bowling. Instead, we flopped.Quote:
