How many seats does the other teams get at BDS? 10,000? That more then the whole Bears football stadium hold, something like 1,500+ maybe.

something like 1,500+ maybe.

10500 is closer to the number

This type of game concerns me the most. I am not fearful of losing. However, it seems like every time we play one of these type games, we get a first teamer or two hurt and out for the remainder of the season. I know Nick will try to minimize playing time for our starters, but the paying public is putting out good money to see these starters. I hope our luck is good on the injury front for this game. I honestly believe the only thing preventing a Natty this year is bad luck with injuries.

t. I am not fearful of losing. However, it seems like every time we playI'd one of these type games, we get a first teamer or two hurt and out for the remainder of the season.

I'd like to see those numbers. Is it fear, suspicion, or has it happened?

The only major injury to a key starter I remember in a puff game was Brodie Croyle’s ACL tear in the 3rd Q of the Western Carolina game in 2004. Bama was up big and many questioned why he was still in the game? One who didn’t question it was Brodie … such a class act and such a tremendous representative of the University.

I seem to remember when we played Ga Southern in 2011 that we had several guys nicked up. But I looked at the game report and we didn't have any major injuries. But I seem to remember seeing guys going down several times with minor injuries. Did we play any other wishbone or option team since then?

I was at that game. JMO, I think he was still in because the offense wasn't really clicking. Two of TDs Bama were NOTs. DJ Hall dropped two TD catches (at least one that I can remember went right through his hands...) that killed drives and Bama had to settle for FGs.

He's in East Georgia now!

He’s in TN, West GA, N Florida as well saw his signs on my drive down the coast to the beach last week

These guys will need representation by day's end.
