The guys Napier is putting around the program has me cautiously optimistic that the dial is getting turned up.
Sure Rick . . . and probably a good time to clear-up any confusion about the language rules. We're not allowed to use the f-word in any form (also not the Lord's name in vain in any form). We're not allowed to use *** to spell it out. We're not allowed to post gif or memes where it's visible. However, on videos, Growl and I thought a warning like I put on Rick's video is enough for an occasional use. Now if every-other word is bad, we probably don't want to post that video. Frickin' or frackin' or whatever is used these days is fine too. Any questions from anybody, ever, just send me a PM. Thanks! PS -- I LOVE seeing that!
When I met Spikes, we talked about that play too ( the other was when he punted the ball in the endzone after his pick 6 in the lsu game)..he just chuckled and said that today's defense didn't have the heart and intensity that they had back then..he is an enormous guy! Hoping our improved defense this year has some of Spikes passion instilled in them this year..
I heard that hit from the nosebleed seats, there was a microsecond of silence, then an OOOOOOOHHHHH, and then a massive roar.
Cool to see legends coming back to finish their degree and get involved with the new guys. Spikes was an amazing talent and demonstrably has a good head on his shoulders. Such a good example for those guys.
