Bowl showcase

[Tech2000]

We know that Matt and Travis are headed to NFLPA bowl, reported that Derek is going to a new bowl to showcase his talents. However, on the tropic bowl site, it also has listed Burb and Zach playing as well. I missed Alex to east west shrine. Question: has there been any other time that we have had that many in post bowl to showcase theirselves for the NFL?

Matt Johnson, Travis Greene, Alex huettle, Derek Lee, Ryan burbink, Zach colvin

They had Alex as a starter for the East but he is not playing? Hurt in practice?

[Class of 61]

He' playing CENTER w/ brown helmet .. Was harder to pick up. Got a favorable mention on long run play just now #65, not the usual 55.

Johnson and Greene on the field again at the same time.

Travis has looked good... Has several nice runs, and is getting some praise from announcers.
Matty hasn't done much, but also hasnt had a heck of a lot protection. Frankly NONE of QBs have looked all that great.

[Dayons_Den]

Matty never looked comfortable. Didn't help his o line was weak and WRs didn't get open.

Greene looked good, looked like he belonged. Some nice runs, got blocking, and a catch out of the backfield too.

[Tech2000]

Announcers mentioned early in game that the coaches were concerned and the scouts not happy with both lines. They were unable to give proper evals because their play was that bad.

Alex looked to have a great day. He led many holes that allowed for big plays.

Anyone remember Fahn Cooper, started for us @ Florida as a Fr. He played in the East-West Shrine game as well.

[Class of 61]

Think Cooper went to MISS. At least i thought they showed that.

[Tech2000]

Yes, fahn started all games his freshman year under clawson and then left. Hated to learn he had left.

Talked to him after the loss to KSU in 2012 (is Archer still running free on us?) at BW3's and thought to myself - man do we have a good one for another three years! Never assume....

[Tech2000]

33, I agree. He roomed a couple doors down from my daughter in falcon heights. He is or was a good man. Polite and with respect. On the other side of her room was boo boo gates and a couple others. They seemed to use she and her room mates room as the hangout. He was by far the most respectful.

Greene looked better than Johnson did yesterday. Greene rushed 14 times for 54 yards and also had 1 catch for 9 yards and had two pretty nice runs that we were all accustomed to seeing out of him, where he planted a foot and cut and made the defender miss. Johnson was 5-12 for 36 yards and was almost picked off in the endzone. He looked really out of sorts. As mentioned, the line play wasn't good and he was throwing to new receivers, but he just looked off to me, even on the throws he had time on. Two of those five completions were quick hits to the flats and he just looked unsure throwing downfield. Even though Johnson had a fantastic season and career with BG, I will say it was a little difficult watching him play the last two times I've watched him. He struggled in the bowl and had two extremely costly turnovers which essentially put the nail in the coffin for us, and then yesterday he looked pretty frustrated and not at all like himself. I will always remember him as guiding us to two MAC Championships. But I wish like hell he could have gotten the year he lost in 2014 due to injury awarded back to him and that we had him back one more season. I do wish him lots of luck from here on out though.
