Not a lot to report from today, since it's mostly a "ra ra" event for boosters who don't necessarily follow the program as closely as we idots do on a daily basis.
- Embree mentioned that we'll see on Saturday why practices have been closed (that has me very curious)
- All the linemen looked a lot bigger through the legs and upper body without having guts
- Webb is pretty stacked for a QB. Looks like he can take a hit and deliver one
- Lots of talk about the importance of the opener, setting the tone for the season, etc. --- but I don't think CSU was mentioned a single time
- Hagan got one of the players (forgetting who now) to say, "Bieniemy's so short when he sits on a curb he can swing his legs"
- Everybody from the team or staff we talked to immediately brought up Tupou -- and that dude looked huge
- As always, you can tell whenever a player talks about Cabral that there is genuine love for the man (Washington made a bit of fun of Coach C for being completely clueless about technology and someone having to set up everything for him ahead of meetings)
- Embree stressed bowl game for this year and how important it will be for the fans to be loud in order to give them an edge, specifically mentioning how the worst performance of last year at home vs Oregon actually impressed recruits because of how into it the fans were despite what was happening on the field
- I came home a hero with a mini stuffed animal buffalo for my boy (and I think it satisfied Snow's Xmas shopping if he's somehow boyfriended for the holiday season)
