I would say that most kids that get passed up by the VOLS are because they don't have the talent to play for the VOLS or they're not currently needed!!
Many Tennessee high school athletes have went to UT and done very well!!!!!!
Kellen Winslow may not be my favorite athlete because of his attitude, but the
kid CAN play football. If I'm not mistaken, isn't he currently in the NFL???????????
-to stupid-
Terrell Owens has attitude problems too, but he is a player!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
actually Winslow is way too stupid to be in the NFL- trading a year of playing (and salary) for a joy ride and horrific wreck on a motorcycle (a violation of his contract).... Not a role model by any means.
Being a FSU fan I can tell you- I don't expect BW to be playing tight end at FSU. With his size, hands and athletic ability, I project him seeing the ball alot on the receiving end of passes.
It is easy to look at other programs and find flaws. Yes, FSU has had problems and issues. FOR ANYONE TO EVEN SUGGEST THAT FSU, COACH BOWDEN, OR ANY PROGRAM FOR THAT MATTER, CONDONES RAPE IS RIDICULOUS!!
Every college has problems, and they all don't expect or want them. It might be bad checks, free clothes, drunken brawls with frat boys or whatever... coaches, AD's, staff can not follow these kids everwhere they go. When are we going to hold these athletes responsible-- as a society we have gone to spreading the blame. I'm waiting to see someone stand up and take it.
Best of luck to you BW at FSU-- Can't wait to see you in GARNET AND GOLD!
GO NOLES!!
As for the QB at FSU claiming to be the almighty-- he has been diagnosed with Lyme disease that has infected his body to the degree it started to disrupt his brain. My thoughts and prayers are with the Sexton family.

For a team like Bearden who is fixing to spend well over $5 gran to bring in a group for the next 7-8 months, what would you and ghost recomend? Is the 3 people fort sanders sends going to be good enough for about 50-70 kids or is there a better solution to this. ( besides bringing in 10 trainers)? Do you feel that our program will benifiit from bringing these guys in?
You will see some benefits from doing the added work in and of itself.
Will it be the most beneficial program, having a ratio of 3 trainers to 50-70 athletes? Maybe, maybe not..... Remember, your coaches will be there to assist in the training, so it won't be so athlete loaded......
Athletes who have individual issues or needs will not receive the attention they would get from a more personal program, but for the most part, any work will help the good of the team. And those players needing extra attention will always be able to seek it on their own.
Hope this helps, good luck in the off-season.

I have to admit, I've enjoyed this thread immensely.
I think the best has been the prognostications about AB and Tallent.
We went from losing AB for the year, to him possibly starting, to Tallent starting to not being able to play at all....
I hope this shows that at this point in the season, injuries are taken care of and treated on a day-to-day basis. I can assure you that Joe Black and his staff won't allow an athlete back on the field if there is the hint of a possibility that a more serious injury could occur.
These athletes are receiving the best available medical treatment, and will be available just as soon as possible.

Ghost-
I will agree with you, the CSCS exam was one of the most difficult tests I have ever taken. Only eclipsed by the NATA Athletic Trainers exam.
I understand a number of athletes are going to Ft. Sanders for SAQ. I think that is great, but how can an athlete expect to make marked improvments in such a large group setting?
The Athlete Training Center in Maryville (run by Appalachian Therapy) also provides sports performance training, in small group settings (no larger than 8). I've seen great improvments in my athletes performance, and have been able to provide greater attention to my athletes to address their specific needs.
I encourage anyone interested in training to ask questions, and do research on your own to find the best program to suit your needs. Professionals are often more than willing to answer questions and provide guidance regarding any question you might have.
To all of you athletes out there- good luck with your training. Be safe, work hard.

Ghost---
are you a CSCS too?
You seem to be well versed in the topic.

The coach that is responsibile for the strength program needs to do him/her self a favor and get certified. The national strength coaches association and BFS both have a great certification programs that are great and could prevent litigation in the event that one of their athletes is injuried while working out. I have found that the majority (98%+) of the so called strength coaches in Tennessee are not certified and really have a very limited knowledge about how to train and run a strength program for high school athletes. Their knowledge in most instances would be equal to a 3rd & 4th grade father coaching basketball that never played the game in high school.
I couldn't agree more. A certified professional needs to head these programs in order to prevent any sort of injury from occuring. Luckily, in this day and age, most schools have a certified athletic trainer on site who is educated in this arena (as well as all sports related injuries) and can greatly assist in developing a program to increase linear speed, as well as agility and quickness.
Further, a number of National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) professionals are available to consult with schools-- these Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialists are well versed in all aspects of strength training as well as sport improvement drills.

You think Lime Disease made Sexton call himself God???? Yeah, and I've got some real good beach front property to sell you!!!!

Actually you hack- it is spelled Lyme disease, and the press release came out over espn news and on fsu's athletics web site. I'm no doctor, but when they quote a doctor(a specialist), stating that the Lyme disease is effecting his noodle, I tend to believe that...
Further, we have all begun to debate what WE believe is the best thing for this young man. Let's not forget, he has fufilled a lifelong dream by committing to Florida State. Congratulations to him for that. He should be proud of himself for making his dream come true....
As for talk about going into the league, there is a small percentage that actually make the transition. I hope BW takes advantage of the opportunity and graduates with a degree is some dicipline that he loves. That way he can have a career IF he doesn't make his way into the NFL.
Best of luck BW--- GO NOLES!!
I assure you, there is nothing more amazing than running into Doak Campbell Stadium with 85k fans doing the war chant and chop. You will love it!
