Don't have you on Facebook post some when you get the chance. We still got some out on vacation, and I think we could get a few more.

KC had I think I counted 59 but I know of 2 or 3 that are still gone on vacation. Our numbers should be real close to 62-64.. Not bad for a school a few years ago that could only muster about 40. Speaks volumes of how much the program a progressed in past few years!!!

Haven't heard anything yet. I just know this is our first time in 4 years without Jonathan Jackson on the field. All we did in that span is lose like 4 games have two runner up finishes and 2 rings. Rumors are we may be better than last year. Hard to replace his leadership! I think if the leadership steps up we will be scary. I think we will really spread it around. I think we will be really strong on both lines as well. I really like our DEnds both are experienced tall and fast. Got a 8th grader fixing to start practice at the Middle School. So I will start to hear how things are going at the hs soon. I have equipment pick up with him today. He is big so they usually send him to the HS to get his shoulder pads so I may hear soon.

Black Bears have huge numbers which were expected. It will take forever for its time for Roy Kidd Bowl,i cant hardly stand it.

If you watched them practice, how did they look? I don't care who starts qb. I hope they start back practicing like they did when Kyle played. Holcomb went to only practicing one day a week in full pads the past few years when it used to be two. Not doing tackling drills two days a week hurt the defense in my opinion. Missed tackles killed them against belfry the last two years.

Don't freak out man....I like you....but you are not qualified to question a coach with three rings.....

^^Exactly.
Plus, I'm a firm believer that tackling is one of those things that you can or can't do. Think about it, great tacklers have:
-agility
-great hips
-explosiveness
A lot of those attributes you have or you don't have. I know that's a backwards way of thinking that most will roll their eyes at, but it's fact for the most part..

With that said, like anything, the more you work on it, the better you get..to an extent. Everybody has a ceiling; some are a lot shorter than others.
But tackling one day a week vs 2, over a 3-4 month period in time doesn't make a difference in the grand scheme of things.
It's like Golf...if I want to get better at chipping from 20 yds out, I need to do it repetively; 4-5 days a week for an X amount of time.
If I just chip once or twice a week from May-August, then don't do it from September through April, then I'm probably not going to see much of a noticeable difference.
But, if I continue to work on the characteristics of great tacklers (see above post), then you'll see some change over time...improved tackling happens more in the offseason than in season, IMVHO.

Tackling drills and going in full pads was just an example. Their practices in the past few years have been totally different than when I played. Nothing against coach Holcomb, he used to work our guts out and I thank him for that. He made us have 2 practices a day and that's not been done lately. I know there are a lot more restrictions now and that may have played a part in practice changes. It just looked like to me last years practices were a lot easier and layed back than what we had.

Brossart numbers are down. Hope the new coach can change this
