i like it.

my goal is to work smarter, not harder.

good thing about us having the cap situation we do is it forces us to shop smarter. the more money you have, the more likely you are to waste it.

good for him and the panthers. the man knows where to shop.

we haven't drafted small-school much since Bushofsky left. We picked Bernadeau out of Bentley, but not much in the years before that until 2002 (Wesley out of AK-Pine Bluff, Campion out of North Dakota St, Franklin out of LA-Lafayette). 2002 and before, we did a lot - Rashard Anderson was out of Jackson St, Leander Jordan out of Indiana of PA, Gillis Wilson out of Southern, Roberg out of Idaho, Booth out of James Madison, Robert Daniel out of NW LA. Tons.

And since that first Fox Hurney draft of 2002, hardly any small-school.

There are some good athletic backup OL prospects (i.e., raw enough to still be there after we pick both a DE, DT, and a CB) and I think a lot of Sidbury at end, but I wouldn't expect a ton of small-school in this draft.

We're digging deep for a reason.

Not that we shouldn't ever, but there seems to be an extra emphasis on looking for a diamond in the ruff this year.(obvious desperation) But smart anyway.

I'm pretty sure they're looking for those guys every year. They have never made it a secret that they want to build through the draft, so nothing has changed in that regard.

much cheaper and can usually be had as really late rounders or UDFAs. plus early draft picks, especially what we have been known to do with the 2nd round, busts are much easier to be found than successes....at a much higher price tag.

the way we do free agency his a low risk, decent/high reward philosophy that did pretty well for us in the past. makes sense that we would try the same approach with the draft and UDFAs.

not saying that we should use early draft picks on these small school guys and i don't think the insinuation was ever made. we just need to do the most work at investigating these guys to find the next ARC. we are going to have to find that diamond in the rough but, considering how few our needs are, they will pretty much just be depth anyway.

      Snow in the high country

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.

      Big news that could dramatically affect our offensive production for the rest of the season.

      By Newtcase · Posted

      The lack of production is especially surprising given how much effort the team put into coaxing the best from him.  In just six short years he’s had the opportunity to work with 3 different GMs, 7 different head coaches and 10 different starting quarterbacks.  There’s literally no excuse to be made that one of those combos didn’t work.  It might be time to look withIAN.
