Wow...that video is seriously 45 minutes long?

He can throw on the run....but can he run?

The real question: Will he wait his turn?

I would take Jacob Guy and Cole French over him.

Yeah....but they would probably not walk on.  We are no doubt out-of-schollies and God forbid that we need 4 QB's...but always nice to have the insurance.

This might be the surprise guy....not a big surprise....I like his game.

Seems like the perfect answer to our QB transferring woes. Bring in a guy that is happy to be a Bobcat and has no preconceived notions about playing time.

I hope that's not true. I hope he's coming in thinking he can be the man in 2 years when Tettleton's time is up.

What happened at QB last semester is very common, by the way. When a Freshman or Sophomore has an outstanding season, and basically locks up the job for 2-3 more years, players behind him often transfer, especially if the backup is good. A classic example was the California Bears, in 1972,  which had both future Pro--bowl QB Steve Bartkowski, and future Super-Bowl QB Vince Ferregamo. Bartkowski won the job, and Ferregamo transferred.

L.C., seems as good a time as any to celebrate Frank's first win in green. After all, while Joe Flacco sat out at Delaware in 2005 following his transfer from Pitt (he was not granted the typical play-right-away privilege), Tyler Palko -- who had claimed the starting job at Pitt -- gave OUr team all the offense we needed: two "completions" for touchdowns to Bobcat CB Dion Byrum.

One can never watch that video often enough. That game clearly was the start of all the things that followed. I did find one new thing, though. Back on page 4 of the comments I found this priceless gem:

Palko sucks so does our couch. I am glad Tyler is gone. Now we need a new couch.

I'm guessing he burned it when Tyler left?
(oh, and my guess is that gs233245 has got to be Monroe)
