Amy observations about the new turf on Fr. K field? For example, is it a faster surface? Easier to make cuts? A softer cushion? Very intelligent question I have not heard yet. Our school replaces turf three years ago and while soft it seems a bit slick and the blades are thinner and shorter almost like an artifical golf course grass. Some guys have issues cutting on it. Hope we got the best quality turf for Fr. K

Roster with pictures is now up to date online. Bios still need work. Not updated for everyone and no listings of those who earned 2022 honors, including our Patriot League Academic Honor Roll recipients.

Anyone that does, keep your eyes on the rotation at DL and safety (Jarmo #15 and Curtis HL #21) will be staples out there but 3rd safety and who is on the field in 3rd and long type packages will be very interesting.

Perfect weather for an Aug scrimmage - mid 70’s and low humidity

Nope. What happens on the top of the hill, stays on the top of the hill.

🤷🏻♂️I was being facetious. There were no campus cops preventing anyone from going but this was specifically open to season ticket members.
I don’t pretend to have any expertise in football as many here do, especially the former players.
My conversations and observations were mostly with 8485 and hc16 and the administrators and Bob Chesney, Sr.
The main reason I went was to chat with a few of the players that I’ve known over the last 3-5 years, Eric Schon, Patrick Haughney and Jake Dobbs. The few insights I got for the most part should remain private.
Others might have more to tell and would have more value than any contribution I might make.

New! Sorry, sometimes on a Sunday morning I can't help myself. Assuming you really mean how did it feel, I'll ask for support or other opinions from 8485 and son. To me, it seemed to feel a little strange. Not bouncy, not grasslike. Not exactly like a carpet. Felt a bit like walking on paper to me but what do I know? The actual look was very nice.

Seems the afternoon was fairly even with the Defense starting strong and the Offense making plays in the 2nd half. Captains and most coaches appear content with their group is at currently.

As sader1970 indicated I was there as well with HC16. Much like 1970, I am hardly expert enough to comment on performance, though with the QBs in non-contact jerseys and restrictions on hitting, particularly on the outside, plays were blown dead on first contact, unless it was right at the line.
And though I watched, I was hardly able to track who was in and out much less in what situations because the numbers were not always clear - see Brunelle's jersey above - and I was enjoying the conversation with 1970 and HC16 too much.
I would say the assessment above from midwestsader is accurate. Team looked sharp and ready to go. Generally 1st team O played against 1st Team D; 2nd Team O against 2nd team D. Each had their moments. At the end, I thought the defense was a little better. HC16 thought the offense won the day.
Again hard to say when it's our guys competing against our guys, but nothing I saw gave reason to temper the pre-season optimism.

I was there and the one thing that stands out for me is how deep we are at all positions, especially the skill positions at WR and RB where we have at least 6 guys who can play and play right now. Not sure we have as much depth on defense right now.
