All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Drew Henson's flirtation with a professional baseball career has officially ended, allowing the former University of Michigan quarterback to turn his attention to playing in the NFL.
it says he's returning to football. got outta yankee contract and even has a qb coach... if we can get him for a 4th rounder or a 3rd... LETS DO IT!!! i think he has great potential, he was a better qb in my opinion then losman or rivers... he can replace drew one day. i kno he's rusty but he'll have time to get back in game shape
hes ranked by many scouts as the 3rd best available. Texans are asking a 2nd rounder for him.
If they dont sign him by the 24th he enters the draft pool, which could happen since they can only offer him a contract based upon the position he was taken I believe (6th round).
If he doesnt sign he can obviously make a butt load more money in the draft, if he signs he can choose where he goes.
Undecided really would like to see how his workout goes, hes been working out for weeks at the IMG facility with a former QB coach.
I'm not advocating that we go out of our way to acquire Henson. Hopefully, like Tatonka said, it will knock Rivers down in the draft.
Henson completed 61.6% of his passes for 2,146 yards, 18 TDs and 4 INTs.
While Rivers:
Second leading passer in NCAA history with 13,484 career passing yards, breaking school and ACC records ... Set NCAA record with 51 career starts at quarterback ... also finished second in NCAA history with 13,582 career yards of total offense, breaking school and ACC records ... Tied for fifth in NCAA history with 95 career touchdown passes, breaking school and ACC records ... also broke school and conference records for career passing attempts (1,710), pass completions (1,147), touchdown responsiblity (112), 300-yard passing games (18) and 400-yard passing games (7) ... started all 51 games of his four years and threw for at least 100 yards in every single game ... posted a 34-17 career record at quarterback ... first QB in ACC history, and the seventh in the history of the NCAA, to throw for 3,000 yards in three different seasons ... completed 110-161 passes in four bowl games for 1,202 yards, 10 TDs, 3 interceptions and rushed for 65 yards ... jersey number 17 was retired before last home game, Nov. 22, 2003 against Maryland ... graduated Dec. 18, 2003 with a degree in business.

“It seems to me there are a lot of issues to be decided (with Henson),” Donahoe said. “But you don’t get better as a football player by playing baseball.”-Tom Donahoe
