I hope he’s not in the transfer portal.

LOL.  Nope. Sorry to disappoint a lot of you.   A lot have already  written him off, but has been most consistent this spring so we will see what happens.

No disappointment here.  I was excited about his arrival and I look forward to his making a significant contribution this season.  His doing well in spring drills and then not participating in the spring game concerned me.

Thank you for you and your family’s thick skin. We get moody around here. Your son deserves as much shot at the starting job as anyone else on the roster.

This can’t be overstated.  All of it.

@NWKGREEN, you’re very brave coming on here.  I don’t think I’d be able to calmly reply to people giving my son a hard time.  Hope Jace is at a place where he can compete this Fall.

Consistently what? Just teasing. Big Ruder fan here. Rooting for him (and Stone) to do great things here.

Based on what I've seen and heard I'd prefer Earle were starting, but at this point I hope Ruder overtakes Aune as well.

Basically anybody but Aune. Don't have anything against him, but we know what he is and what he isn't. Give somebody else a shot

So are you saying you would only want them to play if they are better than Aune and you hope that they are? Or are you saying play any of the other 3 regardless of whether they are better or not because you know what Aune is and you don’t like it?

More of the first, but to a degree, I wouldn't mind seeing someone else anyways. We hit our stride because of our run game, not because of QB play. If we can get even a slight improvement at the position I'll take it.

I can't count how many times I was ripping my hair out at games because Aune couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. Especially in the bowl game. Miami stuffed our run game and he couldn't make it up in the passing game. Meanwhile Gabbert on the other end was tearing us apart.

Obviously I want the best player to start, I'm just hoping it'll be someone else.

Believe us, I feel like most of us want him to be the guy over Aune this year

      Cotton, Vice And Mason

      I agree with most of this here and I don't think anyone is calling for a 12 man rotation...but imma pull two lines from above that are kinda contradictory to each other: "Either these young guys are good enough to crack the 8/9 man rotation or they are not." and " if Ross offered him, he must be good." this is basically Ross's roster at this point, and yes, while we're winning games, I haven't seen any world-beaters out there. so if these kids are being given opportunity to win playing time and aren't at least pushing the upperclassmen for minutes, I have questions about our freshmen recruiting...I don't know if they "must be good"

      Anyone else still rooting for Eric Morris?

      I don't see any other option but to root for him... If you fire him now and reset the program again (twice in less then 2 years) then you throw away next season. All the recruiting, and portal momentum, and most of the team will disappear with the coach being fired.

      The Band

      1. Anyone. There is a tryout. 2. No. It is provided by the school. The summer uniform/clothes under the uniform are paid for by the students. 3. Both. Most play on their own instrument. Marching instruments such as the sousaphones, marching baritones, mellophones and drumline are provided by the school. 4. Both. To my understanding. 5. 1 credit 😡 6. Most GB members make up the pep groups but that’s not always the case. *This might be outdated info. Sorry if anyone has other intel.

      Cotton, Vice And Mason

      Not being capable and not being given a legitimate opportunity are two different things. Moore never got a legitimate chance in my opinion. I don't think Taylor would have been given a legitimate chance either just like I don't believe Vice, Cotton, and Mason are being given legitimate opportunities to showcase themselves. We had a 20 point lead the entire second have against Evansville. They couldn't get in for 5-10 minutes with the members of the main rotation to see how they perform? Would be nice to know what we have if a main player goes down...

      The Band

      Before adding my thoughts, I have some questions about the band that maybe current or former band members or someone in the know can answer. 1. Who gets to be in the band? Is it an open try out or only available to students in the school of music? Is there a try out at all? 2. Do band members have to pay for (or rent) their uniforms or are they provided by the school? 3. Do they play their own personal instruments or are these provided by the school? 4. Where does any funding required for the band come from (Athletic Department, School of Music, somewhere else)? 5. Do band members receive any credits (elective or otherwise) for being in the band of it is purely voluntary? 6. What (if any) is the relationship between the Green Brigade and the pep band that plays at basketball games?
