That is completely untrue. You can certainly have a poor opinion of someone without hating them.

For example, I have a poor opinion of Obama,but I don't hate the man. Don't even know him.

Perhaps you are confusing making hateful sounding remarks with hating someone?

No you are confusing hatin with hating someone.  Someone that doesn't agree with my choice of popped collar polo and upside visor is hatin'.  They don't hate me.  So I'm calling out the rafe peavey haters.  I'm sorry English is complex and then you add slang and its nearly impossible.

True, I do speak proper English, where words have meanings, and thus I will bow out of this conversation.

Hater.....

[DeltaBoy]

Looking good so far.

Hater.....

Hoggy isn't a hater. He is hatin our intellilect and command of the English language.

And I'm hatin he thinks we are too dumb to see his back handed slap.

Hoggy probably uses slang all the time just ain't have heard of hatin yet.

Unless a QB is a once in a generation freak, it is going to take them 1.5 to 2 years to learn and execute a pro style offense at the college level.  Most freshmen QB's who tear it up are redshirt freshmen with extreme talent.  As of today, only AA and Rafe are likely to have more or less full mastery of the offense but Storey is probably close.  Town may be getting there by time for bowl practice if he puts in the extra work away from practice.  Storey should at least stick through the season to see if he can overtake Rafe in the fall unless Town is so good he can't see beating him out down the road.

Austin will start, and be better as a Jr than BA was as a Jr, and better as a Sr than BA was as a Sr. That is the only prediction I am willing to make. If we get that, we'll continue the forward movement we are seeing in the program.

You make an excellent point. With rare exception, starting QBs or Offensive Lineman as freshman or sophomores is more of a sign of weakness than a strength.  Get them in the program and develop them.  That's the direction we're headed and it's a good thing.

Hope you are right but until we know how good our OL is going to be protecting him I would not want to put any money on that prediction if I was you.

If it does get bad then let's hope he can take a hit like his brother. I will never ever forget BA's freshman game against Bama. Reminded me of the Rocky movie where Creed is getting beat by the Russian. His trainer is screaming "Throw in the towel!"

That young man took some painful hits that day.

I don't recall people trying shove a back up down our throat while Brandon was doing greasy but I also don't recall Brandon doing great for a two year period.

My two thoughts combined in that first sentence.  I did not mean he was great for two years.

Obviously there was a lot of assumptions made on here that a backup was the better qb than the starter, even though the coaches disagreed.
