No. The whole upper deck was empty and the lower bowl was at about 75-80%

As if we weren't hurting enough at RB, Desherrius Flowers had his arm in a sling for the entire 2nd half..

Im terrible with numbers, but I'd say it's a little high. If you would have taken the gumps that were standing by the fences and put them in the seats, and taken the couple hundred in the uppers, you could have filled the lower bowl, but that's it. I'd say 60,000.

It didn't rain one drop while I was out there. It was actually perfect weather for a scrimmage. Not too hot, didn't get a sunburn.

The beginning of A-Day the lower bowl was about 90% full. Of course people left as the game went on.

Robert Foster had 6 catches for 125 yards. He should have had 126 yards and a TD but they said he was down at the 1 at the end of the 1st half (he never hit the ground).

Ardarius Stewart had 8 catches for 118 yards and 2 TDs.

It's nice to see our offense spreading the ball around.

This might be a homer opinion, but i think our receiving corp will be better this year than last. We don't have a Cooper, but the sum of Ardarius, Black, and Rob Foster is better than throwing it to Cooper all the time with a little Jones and White.

I'm very excited about Robert Foster. I can see Stewart and Foster being a top 3 duo in the SEC this year.

You can probably put Drake in there as well.

Man I cant wait until Damien Harris gets here. Guessing we need at least 2 RBs this year so we can let Ronnie Clark go on defense.

Weather def played a factor but it was perfect weather during the game

He must be strictly talking about lineman (and a spefcific group), because I don't see our WRs, RBs and TEs out there hunting and fishing.

maybe Henry would like fishing, being from Yulee, Florida. no doubt OJ has been hunting/fishing because that's about half the curriculum at Autauga Academy. not too sure about the other guys. I dont think A.Stewart or R.Foster would be too familiar with hunting and fishing.

Huh? Black people enjoy hunting and fishing too...

I know OJ Howard does.

is it racist to assume inner city kids dont hunt and fish? my cousins in NYC dont hunt and fish and they are whiter than vanilla covered marshmallows.
