@ A-Day 2025

Not many folks here. I heard athletics was projecting 12-15K. Looks about right from what I'm seeing.

Bunch of recruits coming in and that’s what we’re putting out there?
Then again…recruiting isn’t exactly the same either anymore…

Any updates. I seen where keelon threw an INT to Ivan Taylor in double coverage.

It’s sad where college football has ended up but we all saw this coming.

Mack also threw a bad pick.

Those in attendance are saying Ty Simpson is clearly going to be the starter.

Playing confidently and throwing nice passes.

Who wants to deal with all the mess you have to just to watch practice?

Well, to be fair ,and correct me if I'm wrong because I'm not there, it's structured as a regular practice more so than the game format that it was historically so I can see why there aren't so many people there. Not arguing about the format because I can see why they did it this way if this is correct.

Pregame festivities. Per usual captains named get their honor at Denny Chimes. Trigger warning 😆

Mack still doesn’t look like he’s ever played QB before. He‘s the odd man out, I’m afraid.

Yeah it seems like people got a little too optimistic off of one good TD throw on a fade route in garbage time.

Still seems very raw as a QB

Looks like it will be:

QB1: Ty
QB2: KR
QB3: Mack

there was also one practice where he looked good and there posters saying Ty was 3rd string and transferring.

I was there today. My takeaway was that Ty looked the most polished and the most comfortable. Russell clearly has the best arm - and it’s not particularly close - but seemed to struggle with reads and ball placement at times. Mack had a rough day today outside of 1-2 nice completions.

Recruits watching practice isn't a new thing, but I get your point.

Just for clarity's sake, I was talking about fans.

What I think most people are expecting. TS's maturity and experience gives him the edge on the budding super star.

Having that kind of talent behind him should keep TS on his toes!

For the vast majority, just business transactions now. If I had to bet, I’d wager they don’t give a happy damn about how many people are at A Day.

If I was a coach and had an open practice like this I would tell my QB to overthrow every receiver and to run slower than normal. Then lurk on message boards and Facebook that and watch the fans have a meltdown.

But I’m evil like that.

We had some Shula teams that did that w/o even being asked.

 

[JDCrimson]

I swear they asked Blake Sims to do that very thing in his A-Day debut as the starter...
