I'm not guaranteeing anything, but if Ryan Williams, Logan Thomas, and DJ Coles contribute to the offense this year we might actually put up a lot ofpoints. And if we score a lot, everybody better look out. Don't say I didn't warn y'all about RW once the season starts
I am cautiously optimistic because we always seem to completely blow it whenever the national media expects anything from us. But compared to how awful welooked in our final spring game last year where we still won the ACC, we looked amazing in the first scrimmage this year. I really wish I could be here thisyear to see it all but I'm going to study in Europe in the fall

[h1]Syracuse football practice notes: Sheeran leaves, Collier shines[/h1] [h3]by syracuse.com[/h3]
[h3]Thursday April 09, 2009, 9:30 AM[/h3]
Frank Ordonez / The Post-Standard, 2008Dan Sheeran played wide receiver for Syracuse last season. He was converted to outside linebacker one day into spring practice, and decided to leave the team this week.
Wide receiver-turned-linebacker Dan Sheeran decided to leave the Syracuse football team this week. Coach Marrone moved Sheeran to outside linebacker one day into spring practice.
He worked with the first-team defense for most of the last two weeks, but junior outside linebacker Parker Cantey moved ahead of Sheeran last weekend. Sheeran is the sixth player on scholarship to leave the Orange since the start of spring practice.
The Post-Standard's Donnie Webb has more on the upheaval of the linebacker position at SU.

Tailback Averin Collier shows power:
http://
Redshirt freshman running back Averin Collier is making his mark during spring practice. He had a number of outstanding runs in two scrimmage sessions that focused on short-yardage situations. "He's show that he's progressing and developing into a player that can find a role on this team and be helpful to us," coach Marrone said.

http://blog.syracuse.com/orangefootball/2009/04/collier_shines.html
Marrone is running a very tight ship as HC. This isthe sixth player that has quit the team since he took over. The culture is definitely changing on The Hill.
Former RB Doug Hogue is now playing OLB.
Former QB Andrew Robinson is now playing TE.
Can someone post this for me? Its the 2010 Offer list so far.

at this point, I hope we get in a BCS bowl we don't deserve yet again.
but, My thoughts are this is gona be a pretty good team, and why I wasn't thrilled with Charlie being retained cause he really would have to work atmessing things up much these next 2 seasons. he'll buy more time
Demetrius Jones is being converted to an OLB at Cincy...yikes

It would take ND 7-8 weeks to even crack the top 25, no way they're anywhere near the top 10 even if the only lose to USC

IMO the only competition Masoli has is Nate Costa. Justin Roper is a solid backup but doesn't have the physical prowess needed to be a fullyeffective spread option QB.Originally Posted by GUNNA GET IT

Here's a wrap-up of Oregon's uniform combos they've used in the past.
It's pretty funny, especially when he's talking about the upcoming season and the NC game.

Ah yes, the Oregon football uniform, Chip Kelly vintage. We all are well aware of the numerous combinations of looks the Ducks can bring to the field on any Saturday. But how well have we done with each "outfit" (as our OSU brethren have taken to calling them)? Let's take a look, shall we? The combos are in order of when they were first debuted.

Blackout:
Arizona 2008: W 55-45, 504 total yards, 298 passing yards
Stats of note:
We really like to run the ball in the Green-Black-Black combo, averaging 291 yards per game on the ground, and 321.2 in Bellotti Bold.
The three games in the Green-White-Black combo: 0-3, including the Cal "Beastmode" game and the Dixonpocalypse. The set wasn't used in 2008. Hopefully this is a trend.
The Ducks are 5-1 in games with a uniform set that is all one color. A "Yellow-out" however, has yet to make an appearance.
We need to find something new to wear to the LA Coliseum. We've worn Green-White-White both times and have lost by a combined score of 79-20.
The Green-Green-Black and Green-Black-Green combos are tough to figure out. With G-G-B, you're getting a nailbiter, as in the Oklahoma comeback and the Cal touchback game. With G-B-G, it's gonna be extreme: Arizona 2006, arguably the worst home loss in Bellotti's tenure, and USC 2007, one of the greatest wins in Oregon football history.
We are 0-2 when we only wear yellow and black uniform parts (Vegas Bowl, Boise St.)
I'm surprised we've only played one game in Green-Yellow-Green. It might be my favorite look.
The combos we still haven't seen(excluding the black lid, grellows on the road and white at home):
A "Yellow-out", White-White-Black (which I think would look good), Green-Green-Yellow (interesting), Yellow-Black-Yellow, and Yellow-Green-Yellow (also interesting), Green-Yellow-Black (hmmm), Yellow-Black-Green and Yellow-Green-Green (meh, i'll pass), and Green-White-Yellow (jesus christ no effing way).
Now, based on all this research, I will attempt to outfit the Ducks for the 2009 season to maximize their chances for an undefeated season.
@Boise St: Stormtroopers - Our two games in all whites have been stark contrasts: a shootout in Seattle, and a soggy turnoverfest in Berkeley. The Broncos are losing five starters from their front seven, and hopefully we can channel some U-Dub magic and run it down their throats. Plus, all whites on the smurf turf will look effing sick.
Utah: Green-Green-Green - Our home openers in '07 and '08 were in the full greens, and they were both blowouts. The Ducks threepeat in the greens, putting up 40+ points on the Utes.
Purdue: Green-Yellow-Green - This set has only been used once, against Portland State. Both schools begin with P's. 55-12 over the Boilermakers sounds good to me too.
Cal: Green-Black-Black - With a big early game like this one, it's important to go with Mr. Dependable. The Ducks are 6-0 in G-B-B, and will be 7-0 after the game if another 300+ yard rushing performance is in store.
WSU: Green-Green-Yellow - It's a new uniform set! Let's be honest, we can beat Wazzu by 30 if we play in burlap sacks. Let's take this one for a test drive.
@UCLA: Green-White-White - This might be the toughest road game in conference for the Ducks next year, so let's channel Michigan '07 and 65-38 and do work in the Rose Bowl.
@Washington: White-White-Black - It's time to break the black pants on the road curse, and what better way to do it than by beating up on the Fuskies? For those not so bold, Stormtroopers invade Seattle Part 2 will also get a win.
USC: I'm torn on this one. IMO, the two choices are Green-Green-Black, which should produce around 500 yards of offense and a game that comes down to the final minute, or Green-Black-Yellow, which will produce exactly 35 points. Will 35 points be enough to beat the Trojans at home? The last time the Trojans came into Autzen with a first-year starter at QB to face an Oregon team ranked in the top 10 (which we will be if we're undefeated to this point), they only scored 17. 35 should work nicely then. Green-Black-Yellow it is.
@Stanfurd: Green-White-Green - Last time the Ducks went to the Farm, they wore this uniform set and put up 55 point and almost 600 yards of offense. I'd like another helping of that please. Important note: the Ducks have repeated road uniforms like this twice, against USC and WSU last year. They have never repeated a uniform against a team they have beaten while wearing it.
ASU: Blackout - This ASU team seems like a team that will build confidence with a good start, esp. coming off of such a disappointing season as last year. In last year's Blackout game, the Ducks absolutely blew Arizona out of the water in the first quarter. In the all blacks, the Ducks put ASU on their backs and keep them there for the rest of the game.
@Arizona: Green-White-White - In 2005, the Ducks went Green-White-Yellow, and Kellen Clemens broke his leg. In 2007, the Ducks went Green-White-Black, and Dennis Dixon blew out his knee. The problem clearly is in the contrasting color pants. The Ducks wear white on top and bottom, and everbody stays healthy.
OSU: Yellow-Yellow-Yellow - I know what you're thinking. You're thinking the grellows are cursed. We can only beat teams like Utah State in them. And we're undefeated at this point, why risk it all?!?! Here's why: I believe the true power of the yellow lids lies in its pairing with an all yellow uniform. First game in all whites: record setting rushing performance. First game in all black: 45 first half points. We've already broken the black pants on the road curse this year. Let's put these grellows to rest. The Ducks run out in all yellow, the Beavers can't see a thing because it's just too blinding, and the Ducks run up 58 points. Masoli throws for 300, Blount runs for 130, Jamere Holland has 3 TD catches, and WT3 has two picks, and the Ducks are on their way to Pasadena for the NC game.
Bowl game: Green-Black-Black or Green-White-White - We have won our last two bowl games convincingly in G-B-B, and the Ducks were in G-W-W when Joey the Kid beat Colorado in the Fiesta Bowl. All the stars align, Spencer Paysinger breaks both of Tim Tebow's legs on the third play from scrimmage, and the Ducks have a field day with Florida's D. Bellotti starts doing shots in the press box with Uncle Phil and Don Essig in the third quarter.

Spring Game today for Michigan . Got some nice 2010 kids in town for the weekend. Locking up Marvin Robinson and Derrick Bryant would be massive. I would takeAustin White as well. Jumping up lists for Torrian Wilson, CJ Olyanian and some other kids would be appreciated.
The game should be interesting. Sheridan is out so they don't really have anybody else to play the other QB spot. Hopefully Tate can stay healthy andimpress, The OL is light years from where it was last year which is good because they were AWFUL last year. I would guess the Line will beOrtmann,Schilling,Molk,Moosman,Huyge. I am fine with that but would have loved to have seen Barnum and Omameh jump up. Maybe in the summer they can grab somespots. Steve Schilling will be a really good OG because of his mauling style.
Tate will be the starter for sure this year but Denard Robinson is going to give him all he can handle. I would love to see him back there making playing likeRandall Cobbs for UK last year. Kid can run. 10.44 electric earlier this spring and just ran a 10.28 handtimed. Easily the fastest QB Michigan has ever seen.

Sounds like Texas RB Stephen Hopkins is now a Wolverine. That would be the 8th commit in this class. Seems offensive heavy AGAIN and we really need someplayers on D. Not just bodies but good players that can be difference makers. Early reports from spring parctices are that the O has twice as many qualityplayers than the D. Kinnard is a good start but we need at least 4 on the DL 3 LBs and a handful of DBs. 12-14 should be defensive players in this class.Hopefully we can get to 25 this year.
