Are either of you guys going to the scrimmage tomorrow? Would love to hear your thoughts of the team if you do.

Yep, I'll finally be able to post about it too. I've been at all the practices but I've been afraid to post anything because they've all been closed.

I'm sitting this one out. Stone will be able to add some good shite since he's seen everything

Makes sense. If you ever feel the need to drive to Springfield, have a beer and talk shop, I would not be upset at all.

Me as well unfortunately. The wife had to go and plan a social event for us tomorrow.

For sure.
I've wanted to post a lot this camp but with all the practices being closed I would definitely get in trouble and probably get fired.

Yeah, I wouldn't even remotely risk it if I were you. That is way too sweet of a gig to mess up.

All homerism aside, I really do think we could be the surprise team in the league this year. Our players feel like it's them against the world.

Nolan'ish feel?

Exactly. I think Bielema is embracing the underdog role. Not that he always wants to be the underdog, but for this particular situation it could be beneficial. These players have been through some shite the past two years and they are ready to start winning.

Something I would like to discuss after you've seen this scrimmage is if you think we will run more 3 WR sets this seasos since we haven't had a true FB emerge and Cornelius looks to be an actual slot receiver which we were missing last year. Will we see more 11 and 12 personnel or will they roll with a FB heavily again despite not having anyone they are really enamored over.

Just decided I'm going to the scrimmage as well. 
About to head that way. Gotta drive 2.5 hours from the promised land in the central part of the state.
If I get a chance, I'll add to stones thoughts or I'll find somewhere else on here to slap it down.

Bielema spoke to the crowd to start the scrimmage and explained that video was prohibited. He said if anyone saw a person from Auburn with a video camera they should "knock the shite out of them."
It was 1s vs. 2s for the most part today.
I didn't notice a whole lot of 3 wide, J Corn worked well in the slot as did Drew Morgan. Corn has a knack for making one handed catches, other receivers try to emulate this, much to the chagrin of the coaches.
Allen had a good day, and the crowd erupted when he completed a bomb to Sprinkle early in the scrimmage. He was accurate for the most part, but he threw a few balls that were behind his receivers. I feel much better about our receivers this year compared to 2013, the overall effort level is night and day compared to last year.
Collins and Marshall split most of the first team carries. Denzell Evans got a ton of work today, but he was running against the first team D with the second team O line so he didn't have any big highlights. He gets tough yards though and isn't afraid of contact.
Josh Liddell is a play maker, he was all over the field breaking up passes but had two dropped interceptions. Coaches will probably work on his hands this week because he has an eye for the ball, just couldn't come down with it. One would have been a pick six, and he can't afford to miss that opportunity in a real game.
J Will did not participate today, just a precautionary measure. His hamstring should be good to go for Auburn. He dressed out but did not play.
Denver Kirkland was in street clothes.
Patrick Arinze is a good pass catching fullback but he has a tendency to fumble. Bielema jumped on his arse just for almost fumbling on one play today.
JoJo Robinson had the best touchdown of the day, after catching a pass he bobbed and weaved all over the field and somehow got to the end zone and dove in. Reminded me a lot of something Joe Adams would do. This was also against the first team D which made it even more impressive.
I'm off to dinner, will add more when I get back.
