And so, with mighty warriors clad in strongest armor, And well prepared to receive the lot dealt by fate, The contest is at hand. And the commander's spirit, raging for revenge, Shall in a Monarch's voice cry, "Havoc!" And let slip the Dogs of War!

Just shook hands with Austin Stidham. I forgot to ask for a selfie. I’m bad with celebrities. I met Mike Turk once and couldn’t get words out.

Helmet stickers were nicer last year. This is the only style they had when I got to the tables. I was hoping for some Stars and Stripes or Troy State. Anyway, I got an extra pair for you Possum.

Any insight on the players? Gunnar had a "challenging" first half, Buzz can expand on this. That wide receiver made a Sunday Highlight TD reception in the North end zone!!

Any insight on the players? Goose looked terrific. Gunnar had a rough first quarter but also had at least two receivers slip on their routes and a bad drop. One of the slips led to a pick from Reddy Steward. Defense looked solid there wasn't much of an attempt to run the ball but Landon Parker made two highlight reel catches. I feel like the loss of RaJae Johnson is something that has been sort of underrated for some of the circus catches he made, being a deep threat and his blocking. I think Parker is going to be able to at least partial fill that hole, he's not as big as RaJae but does a lot of the same things. Ethan Conner is going to be a really good TE, too. Reggie Bracy looked really solid when he was in the game at safety. A lot of guys didn't play at all (Jabre, McDonald, Solomon, etc.) and some just a few snaps (Kimani for example). Some walk-ons got the chance to make plays. Jaidyn Wilson (Brundidge) and Kaden Cupp (New Brockton) both have big second halfs. JUCO receiver Markus Ferrell went over 100 yards receiving and two touchdowns. Some unofficial stats (I kept with a pen and pad): White team totaled 304 yards of offense (265 passing) and the Black Team netted 181 yards. QBs Gunnar Watson: 3/10, 21 yds, 1 INT Goose: 6/10, 107 yards, 2 TD Tucker Kilcrease: 5/14, 61 yard, 1 TD, 1 INT Jameson Holcomb: 6/8, 85 yards, 1 TD Quayde Hawkins: 3/4, 44 yards JD Sherrod: 3/4, 89 yards, 1 TD Asa Martin: 2 carries, 29 yards; 2 catches, 20 yards Markus Ferrell: 4 catches, 119 yards, 2 TD Landon Parker: 3 catches, 57 yards, 1 TD Jaidyn Wilson: 3 catches, 77 yards, 1 TD Kaden Cupp: 5 catches, 41 yards Eric Shaw: 1 sack, 1 FF Reggie Bracy: 1 INT Reddy Steward: 1 INT Starting OL was: OT: Grant Betts OG: Daniel King C: Eli Russ OG: Markendrick Beall OT: Derrick Graham

Gunnar did have a rough day but he has proven before and as eluded to there were a few things contributing to that. Bingo Parker is a Plaaaayer! Kilcrease’s interception was part softer throw to a guy who Looked open but that was baited by Bracey (sp) Could not help but see Graham playing Left tackle and looked much better than previous even though played a whole bunch a couple Of years ago. Overall good and bad and so so but that is normal spring Game. Gunnar could have had 3 picks but should we need help there the Goose and the Tucker (called him Cooper?) both looked good and even Hawkins and Holcomb had moments .

Yeah, I didn’t watch enough to evaluate anybody. I had to hunt down T-Roy so TBBjr could get a high five. Then as mentioned in the other thread, the line for the garage sale was long. I think the garage sale is a huge hit. I think they should take a portion of the bookstore and sell items all the time. It’s amazing how people went through the stuff. TBBjr scored a Kimani Vidal jersey. (Really a soccer jersey with #28 on it). It’s a bit big on him but its cool.

It’s fortunate that Watson is the only upperclassman. We may keep this group together for this season. After that, you’re probably correct on guys bailing. I would like to have another Doege type behind Watson for insurance, but if Goose is capable, then that is great.

QB room is heavy. Goose will see the field a lot this year, the guy is too talented not to play a lot. We shouldn’t assume who should start based on seniority or class. Let the best young man that is able to best put Troy in a position to win be the one to start.

I remember the drunk lady 10 rows above me screaming “Put Day Gee in!” As she was screaming, Watson would make an NFL pass. When Watson is dialed in, he is an amazing QB.
