    Wow, that just pumps me up for the season to fastforward ASAP. You can just see how infectious Shepard is, everyone seems to gravitate to him. He has innate leadership skills. Im looking forward to the start of the season!

    Looking good but JJ can sleep easy. JL on the other hand has a fight on his hands.

    Been to a few of the practices and heard reports from others about the ones I missed. This team is fierce. If for nothing else, they will bring the pain to their opponents.

    Les has had enough of being told he's not fiery enough. He has been a drill sgt. this entire spring.

    thats good to hear. i hope that the fire translates into bringing the pain and to an emotional/mental intensity for this team.

    now i am excited for football again!

    Nick wanted his teams to dominate, but his practices at LSU were not all that hard-hitting. Nick ran a lot of "thump" drills where you don't take a man completely down. He thought it allowed the team to recycle quicker and get in more practice reps. It also cut way down on pre-season practice injuries. It's an NFL mentality where you expect your players to be physical and you want them to be healthy and well-trained.

    But Nick's team always seemed to get off to slow starts, especially the linemen, who often got pushed around by weaker OOC opponents in the first couple of games before they tightened up. Les ran hard-hitting practices from the beginning and we suffer more injuries, but they go into game one physical and ready to hit.

    The last three years Bama looked ready and more than willing to physically mix it up with Clemson, VaTech, and last and certainly least Western Carolina . You saw what you saw but CNS hasn't lost a regular season game since the 2007 season.

    Who was that Saban guy you had down there a few years ago?

    Point is, being a physical football team can be as much mental toughness as opposed to just physical practices.
