So ESPN is broadcasting meaningless spring football games this year. Lets hype up some 5 star recruits and sleeper Heisman candidates before they get injured. I know, I know it's only Spring Football, but if he stays healthy remember this name, Lamar Miller. U of Miami RB. That is all. |

When was The U on? I caught some of the Arkansas spring game today but never saw The U. |

I love college football, but not even close to enough to actually care about spring football. |

Lamar Miller, I think number 6 on the U. I watch a little of the spring games, probably would watch college football now than some things that are on. My only observation, and this one from a couple of weeks ago, Texas has some quarterback issues, the backups looked better than the starter and one of the backups is Colt Mccoy's brother. |

Way back when....before I was a hater of the Irish my uncle would take me to the Blue and Gold game. I think I went 3 or 4 times. I was 12, but it was alot of fun and I got to run around on the field after it was over. I actually took a chunk of grass out of the endzone that had been churned up by someone cleats and I grew it at home for a few years. |

Versus had the Notre Dame spring game and ESPN3 had a bunch of other ones. It was crazy stupid. |

And Jordan Shipley's younger bro is one of the WRs... I think Muschamp got out at the right time. That Texas offense is at least another season away from dominating even a weakened Big 12. |

The best thing I read about the U was Seantral Henderson, all everything recruit, 6'7" 330 lineman reported his max bench to be 275. He's in trouble. |

That's where he went. I forgot about the guy. Did he red shirt last year or his he considered a sophomore? I'm sure with professional weight lifting regimen he'll up his bench a little. The kid is only 19. |

I am pretty sure I read Henderson along with 5 backups is suspended the first game, Labor Day against Maryland. |

I had fun at the Northwestern Spring Game. I used the children deftly to hang out with the NFL crew. Corey Wootton didn't have a good comeback for my question "How awesome did it feel to end Favre's career?" Clearly he's more classy than I am.   Others in the picture include Tyrell Sutton (Carolina Panthers), Sherrick McMannis (Houston Texans) and Corbin Bryant (draft hopeful) |

The kid is only 19. He is a sophomore, listed at 345 which means he has had a year to gain bench. |

Watching some of Minnesota's on the Big 10 Network, they had Gray playing quarterback, so it could be a move from wide receiver to QB. |

Man, was I wrong about Weber... or was I just so right on Decker? |
