See, that's what you get for being slightly more descriptive. If you hadn't taken 6 words to convey what I said in 3, you could be Germans'ing me right now. That's possibly true. What's probably true is that I'm on the second bottle of wine. My typing had to be revised a couple few several times.

They were enrolled? They just up and left? Do you know where they went? Will they have to sit out a year before they can play?
No reasons have yet been given as to why they left. They are still in school. I doubt seriously that either of them will be back to the football team.

As a clarification, the SEC provision states that the band can play in between plays, and not during plays. The band can play from the end of the preceding play until the point where the center is over the ball. The modification next year is that recorded music may be played instead of band music during those times.
This means more canned music next year. I'm a lawyer. I can read between the lines. Heck, we're the ones who write between the lines.

Quarter changes, possession changes and other breaks in the action are to be filled — against past practice and tradition — by marketing commercials and “canned music” through the sound system, according to the statement.
I'm afraid this is the future. And apparently the present.
I was watching a baseball game the other night and noticed the canned music being played. I missed the organist of old. The band playing at football games could be a thing of the past. I know there some here as old as I am who remember when the band's halftime performance was shown on TV. Sometimes, even the visiting band.

It seems like his leg is stronger. Or he has improved his technique. He doesn't look the same as last year. And the holder blocking the kick was one of the stranger things I've seen in the college kicking game.

The kid was just trying to make a play. But the ball got to the goal line before he did.
I've always been uneasy with players diving and holding the ball out trying to hit the goal line or the pylon. It can be knocked out by a defensive player or fumbled. And sure enough, it happened.
But I can't blame a player who goes all out trying to make a big play. We've certainly seen the opposite the last few years.
Without Pig, we wouldn't have even been in position to win the game in the first place.

Preach on, brother. Preach on. And open another bottle of Malbec. I'm getting ready to go on a nice Sauvignon Blanc. And......Danielson said the coaches had encouraged Worley to run it some but he doesn't do it. Either he doesn't read it well or he doesn't want to run. I don't know squat but I think it's obvious Worley isn't a read-option QB.
