Fall Practice Updates
ysufan0505:
Yikes as in I'm glad the culture has been changed. Like you said, Wolf expected his players just to know how to do certain things and expected that. Pelini's staff seems way more hands on and actually teachers. Also, not as much screaming and yelling in practice. The one quote from Harvin struck me.
“It’s way more fun,” sophomore wide receiver I’tavious Harvin said. “Last year was all business but this year it’s business and you’re having fun at the same time. You’re doing something you actually love again.”
After all, this is still a game. I supported Wolf, but I think Pelini brings a whole different culture, which is good.

If kids don't have fun they will lose interest. Having fun doesn't mean you don't work hard, but you have to make it interesting and fun. Look at the Browns and the competition to see who gets to wear the camo jerseys, and these are grown men (well, some are)
Pelini is much different than I expected and I am pleasantly surprised. I thought he was a yeller too, like Wolford, but apparently not. (I don’t care if he yells at the refs on game day) but you gotta treat the players right if you want them to go the extra mile for you. Hope he has enough talent to compete. We read lots of good stuff, but we haven’t seen any of the new guys tackle, or cover anybody. (not that we saw anybody cover a receiver last year either!) Could be good, and really looking forward to it.
1-AA, looking forward to your assessment from practices.

Caution Will Robinson , J.T. said the most important play in football is the punt. We need a stong kicking game. :(

Somewhat of a battle between McFadden and Kennedy for the starting kicking job (but no real winner for the fans there)
Somewhat of a battle between Kennedy and Sheely for the starting punting job (but no real winner for the fans there)
Somewhat of a battle between McFadden, Kennedy and Sheely for the starting kickoff job (but no real winner for the fans there)
Somewhat of a battle between newcomer Steven Wethli and Kuhn for the starting long snapping job (but no real winner for the fans there)
Catch a theme occurring here with our Specialists?
This has been something we have taken for granted the past couple of years with Liste, Cejudo, Gibbs and even Brown. Make sure to take some Advil on 4th downs this year because it may cause a multitude of headaches for fans.
FOOTBALLFEVER:
The Missouri conference returns 5 starting kickers from a year ago. The other 4 teams must replace their kickers as well. It will be interesting to see how many are true freshman or were currently on the active roster from a year ago or transfers. This is the F.C.S. level with fewer scholarships and unfortunately teams can't take the approach with specialists like F.B.S. programs can. I hope it all works out because there will be a number of conference games that will come down to field goals. Touch backs are another concern of mine and joey c. Did a pretty good job of limited returns
