Little more physical practices! Can't take guys to the ground, but you can pop them!

Gearing up for big boy football!

Highlights of the Day: During 7-on-7 drills, redshirt freshman safety Jalen Johnson intercepted a pass over the middle and returned for a pick-six. Later the same drill, Justin Thomas found Dennis Andrews, who made an acrobatic catch, up the seam for a long completion.

I don't know what it is... but I think we are going to have some really good years in the next 2-3 years. The team just seems to have a good feel and I think we might have an 11-1 type season coming up.

The feeling in camp must be so exciting! I bet they're pumped.
It's just such a fine line between confidence and not respecting your opponent. It happens to every team. If we beat ND and go to 3-0, our heads better say on straight.

And ND is being ranked in preseason upper 10. Beating them in SBend will put us on the road to NC if we can develop some depth from the recruiting class.

It's perfectly clear, if we cannot not sleep on everybody, we must sleep on everybody.

Mmm, Ok, I give up. Jalen Johnson may be amazing. But I'm excited about other people. Corey Griffin, or Lynn Griffin may me amazing too. Or maybe Demond Smith goes and gets himself drafted in the 1st round. In fact, somebody will step up, someone always does. I have my guesses and I'm "not sleeping" on those players. I guess I am sleeping on Jalen Johnson, because, well, I have to sleep on somebody. You necessarily will sleep on at least 1 of 105 individuals.

@dhbartlett12 - the poking fun at your comment was based upon the double negative (can't not). AE 87 correctly interpreted the comment as written to state that we must sleep on everyone. :)

Just to prove this is a Tech site, I think the correct logic of that statement allows for sleeping on some but not all, or sleeping on everyone. I am too tired to actually type out the symbolic logic or anything but . . .

Actually he's right. There are two valid meanings yet different meanings for that sentence. I am an English teacher after all, its literally my job to know this. But maybe that's just an appeal to authority fallacy and not your cup of tea? Oh well, just read it again with a more open mind.

It actually real easy to understand if you simply replace "not sleep" with "be awake".

"We can't be awake on everybody."

Then replace "be awake" with it's actual meaning "correctly predict."

Now it reads:

"We can't correctly predict everybody."
