A Veteran’s Day metaphor, maybe best as “if you need ‘em”.

I agree. I think you have to burn EC's shirt when you're sucking 3-7 with 2 games to go and he appears to improve your odds to win another one.

Hall wouldn't say on yesterday's Eagle Hour if he was gonna burn it or not.

It is nice to have a running quarterback. Though I wish we would run the option more. It really worked when we did it.

Is that a typo? Why do you HAVE to when you suck? That doesn't make any sense. It's already a bust, why waste a kid's entire year for a little over 1 1/2 games?

^^^^ This.. We're not bowling. We have bigger problem than QB right now. Save the kid.

Dang fine movie. Right up there with:

Valid point, but we don't know if he'll even stay or pan out, and we might stumble on someone better, like that kid from MRA. Might suck a little less with another win, especially if we were to get lucky at MSUX. And he improves our meager chances.

What he's said was he wasn't on Bama's radar and grew up in the shadows until his Jr year, then when he got hurt they disappeared, as did the other offers, USM took a chance on him. He's happy to be here and taking a chance on him.. That still means something to some guys.
