YES! Fall Practice has begun for the Tigers. OH MY, how many of us have been waiting for this day. It’s time to pick up where we left off. Marching full speed at the rest of the competition. There are plenty of stats being thrown in and out, players hitting the work out room (which of course is Top Shelf). Some interersting facts for myself were:
Coach Gene Chizik said everybody is eligible and ready to go. Wow! Spectacular! We aren’t messing around with any hoodlums- Everyone has their act together and on the field. Obviously the first step in a very long journey. There has been countless years of so and so being cut or this guy not making the grades. Here we are and man everyone seems to be meshing well.
Dual Threat Running Backs. Sophomore scatback Onterio McCalebb is 180 pounds and gaining. Freshman fullback Ladarious Phillips weighs 290. There is 100+Lbs difference between this cats. McCalebbbbb was spectacular starting the season last year. He has Bo Jackson written ALL over him. He even rushed for more yards than Bo in his first freshman start. Then pop in Phillips to just plow you over with is 290lbs, Lord Have Mercy!!! We are talking a great combo with these two alone. Phillips is listed as an athelete and could be ANYWHERE. But lets dont forget, This hasnt even touched on SuperMarioFanin OR Mr.Dyer. We thought the crew of Cadillac, Brown, and Tre Smith was great?? Now there are four! No homo, but, I think I’m Gettin’ a chubby!
I believe everything is just going to fall into place this year, be patient. My memories of 2004 come to mind. It might not be OUR year this year, but its definatly gonna be a great one. Back in ’04 I was hesitant in our Tigers thru the LSU game. That game brough the family together and after that win, EVERYTHING just seemed to click after that.

We might do it this year,
