I don't know what I expected.

People are basing their decision on whether or not to attend the game based on the South Alabama depth chart release? Or based on who the starting running back is? That's the dumbest **** I've ever read.

I get it. It's going to be 90+ degrees, I've got a nine month old, and the game is on tv. I did renew my season tickets, but a D. Williams/Shumpert/Holloway backfield pretty much seals the deal for me watching this one at the house. I could get more excited about going if we were going to see mostly action from Fitz/Tiano and A. Williams/Lee/Gibson.

Every snap D. Williams plays is a waste, because if he's the answer we're in serious trouble. Same goes for Shumpert carries. Yes, I've heard the usual fall camp talk about how much they've improved. I don't believe it.

Latest forecast says somewhat more pleasant weather this weekend ... not quite as hot with lower humidity. Still ... 11 a.m. in September in Mississippi? It's gonna be hot!

I seriously considered not going to the game, but plan to anyway. Might have to spend a lot of time inside (East Club Level) and/or leave early. The sun will be brutal. Should be home in time to see the big games on Saturday night.

Why do people say Shumpert is a power back? Dixon carrying 3 Houston defenders 10 yards into the endzone is a power back. Shumpert lowering his helmet, hitting a defender an offensive lineman in the back because he missed the hole since he was looking at his feet while running, and going down is not a power back.

Similarly, I dislike when Mullen

lines up Shumpert as a power back.

This is everything. Every snap those guys take is a waste. Give the talented youth and inexperience of Fitz/Tiano and Williams/Gibson/Lee and I'm happy to sweat in the stands. Williams and Shumpert? No thanks. I've seen this episode.

This all day. we always expect Mullen is playing possum the first few games, until we figure out that is the real lineup.

I like holloway, but if he is the feature back then we are 17'd. and shump are you kidding me? Same for QB.

I much rather roll with Taino/fitz--Williams/lee/gibson and live with the to's or missed assignments. You learn the most by playing. Sick and tired of the most talented guys we have wasting time on the sidelines.
