What to read while you're waiting for the Richad Branson-Stephen Colbert water fight to air:
- Fulmer's Belly, who's been sniffing around rival blogs, found the distinct odor of bias over at Cal blog The Band is Out on the Field and is starting a flame war.
- Marsalous Johnson is putting away childish things and working to establish a different reputation for himself this season. You know, a reputation that doesn't involve faux fighting implements.
- In the good news bad news department, linebacker Rico McCoy put a huge hit on running back Arian Foster that had both the defense and coach Fulmer excited. That's, of course, the good news. The bad news: Foster fumbled. Oh, and Erik Ainge threw an interception. That's bad. A friend who was at practice yesterday morning tells me that Eric Berry intercepted one of Ainge's passes, so maybe it was that one. That's good.
-
Linebacker Ryan Karl has fought back from his freak spinal injury and was cleared for limited contact yesterday.
- Eleven players are are in a scuffle for four, maybe five, positions in the wide receiver rotation, and Trooper Taylor says Saturday's scrimmage will be the final audition. You might find some indication of who the favorites are right now in Fulmer's response to a question about Ainge's adjustment to so many new guys. He mentioned five names in answering the question: "veterans" Lucas Taylor, Josh Briscoe, Austin Rogers, and Quintin Hanbock, and Florida State and junior college transfer Kenny O'Neal (RTT#17). Fulmer likes him his experience, he does.
- Fulmer, citing Cody Pope's (RTT#21) "defensive temperament," (he's not only big, he's nasty), has moved him from the offensive line to the defensive line.
- Head on over to SB Nation's newest, Bring on the Cats, a Kansas State blog and tell them howdy.
All for now. Keep your eye on the Magic Google column for new stories throughout the day.
