Shrine Game Thread

[DraftBoy]

Today marks the start of the College Football All-Star season (not really since the Medal of Honor Bowl was played on Saturday but that's neither here nor there). Anyways I'll do my best to update this as weigh-in results come in, practice reports go up, and hopefully we can all have some comments when the game is played on Saturday.

I would be interested in knowing who you consider might have an impact at the next level. That is, at least an early draft choice.

Lotta schools there the Bills are usually interested in. Welcome to year # 14.

Andrew Jackson for president. After his football career, the Bills could hire Max Bullough to be their head coach.

Andrew Jackson for president. After his football career, the Bills could hire Max Bullough to be their head coach.

The idea of a Bullough as head coach makes me twitch, shake and cry.

The people here who say that Jauron, Gailey or Williams was the worst head coach ever do not know what they missed.

Just a reminder:

The East-West Shrine Game airs at 4 PM today on NFL Network.

Also, the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl airs at 7 PM on ESPN2. UB's WR Alex Neutz is playing in that.

Looking forward to seeing some players that i never saw play.

Same here.

These games are good for all parties - the players for a chance to exhibit their talents, of course, and for the fans and the pro scouts to look for those unpolished gems.

And certainly for the children who are cared for at the Shriner's 22 hospitals:

[SpikedLemonade]

The Canadian kid from McGill playing OT for the East should be interesting to watch.
