How's it going Panther Dudes

[The Dude]

Another season of football is upon us. I see that they're working on the Dome and the photos looked great.

My Hens could be good/could be bad...who the Hell knows.

How is this year's UNI team looking? You guys always seem to be strong on O and D but I think you lost Lewis to graduation? You have a good replacement? Who are your big guns? Who is the toughest team you'll face?

I hope you absolutely destroy SIU...stupid dogs.

Looking forward to hearing from you guys...good luck!

Waves have been decent in North Jersey this week...surf's up.

What's up DUDE.....thanks for checking in.

Lewis is gone but Law will fill the position well.

O-Line will be solid as usual. Biggest question mark is our defensive backfield. We are favored to win the MVFC with our toughest games being SIU and NDSU.

Re: How's it going Panther Dudes

Lewis will be replaced by a freshman. Law will get his carries but Carlos Anderson will run the show IMO. He is fast and agile.

Re: How's it going Panther Dudes

Also, I think the Blue Hens should be back in the mix this year. As long as Devlin gels with the team, they should be a playoff team.

Re: How's it going Panther Dudes

IMO, Law will have the same exact role that he has had the last couple of seasons. I agree that Carlos will pretty much take over Corey's role.

What's up with the corruption arrests I was reading about? Officials from Jersey City, Hoboken...Rabbis...illegal human organ sales...WTF? Oh well, just shows that some areas of the country are hard to clean up. Trust me, I know

Good luck to the Blue Hens this year. With any luck, both teams can make a deep playoff run and meet again.

I was just thinking that Anderson is gonna have to be damn good to keep Rayon Simmons off the field.....but then I just checked the roster....and he is no longer there....wtf

Good catch. That is strange. I know that Simmons was with the team all during the spring. It is weird that nobody has heard anything if he is no longer with the team.

btw, Joe Johnson will probably see some time at RB as well.

Re: How's it going Panther Dudes

I don't check in with Panther Nation ALL the time, so I may have missed previous reference to the following video on You Tube ...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4q0LXFJpD30

It's a classic example of an excellent marketing strategy featuring former Blue Hen Joe Flacco.

Again ... you may have talked about it previously on Panther Nation, but I wanted to make sure everyone interested gets a chance to view it. Laughed my butt off when I saw it.

Best wishes to a past adversary (Delaware) from a Panther fan in Central Florida.

I believe that Rayon Simmons has transferred to Winona? Someone with contact with the team could probably confirm that....

Re: How's it going Panther Dudes

Yeah we had some political issues in Jersey...the Hoboken mayor lasted three weeks. Always a few bad apples that spoils the bunch. The Hoboken seen though is awesome. Lot of young people, bars, and good times.

We are in trouble this year simply because our conference and division are so tough. We're picked 4th in our division and we've upgraded...tough man. Devlin has looked good. Our run game and OL are BIG question marks. We could use some of those Big Uglies you guys got on your line. I remember watching the Richmond game and seeing what you guys have upfront...can we borrow a few?

What is your conference looking like this year? Besides you guys, who are the teams you are nervous about. I really want to go see a game at the Dome. I missed the boat in 07. Glad to see the Purple Nation so STRONG.

Re: How's it going Panther Dudes

Others can probably speak better to this. Last year, the conference had good RB talent. This year, it's QB's, including ours (Grace). SIU's QB also returns, and they're picked 2nd in the conference behind us.

Dude, I'm overdue for a Shore trip. I'm traveled more to the south end (Avalon, Sea Isle, Stone Harbor, etc.). Great area. Heard good things about the north shore too from friends who live in the NJ suburban area. I also heard that Maloney's in Margate closed. That place was an institution, although not as fun as the Windrift in Avalon.

Honest question...you guys don't think Taylor Brookins has a shot? I like the idea of using Law and Brookins together with Carlos being used like the Saints best use Reggie Bush - passes out of the backfield, sweeps, lots of motion out to the slot. Just bored offseason speculating on my part but 170 lb RBs kind of raise my eyebrows, at least when talking about winning a #2 spot as a RS Fr. Not questioning his on-field talent, just how we would use him.

Also curious to the Rayon Simmons situation. You can still find him using google and it's been updated to list him as a redshirt frosh (no updated picture) but weird he's not linked on the official roster.

I think Brookins will get action but I too like Anderson to get Corey's role. He seems like more of a feature back than Law.


FWIW you can still find Johnny Gray, Vic Williams, Bob Swift, etc... through google on the UNI site.

Rayon is at Winona State.
