Is it bad that my first thought was who? Glad that he worked his but off in practice to earn the honor. May he have many tackles for loss or at the line against Richmond.
I almost posted the Djimon Hounsou Guardians of the Galaxy "Who?" gif. But I decided it was better to not rain on this kids parade.
Back up LB. A lot of praise lately for him and Keshon Artis. They both got a lot of burn against MTSU so hopefully the same here. Wouldn't be surprised to see Dean in before the end of the 1st half.
lets hope to see alot of Knox Kadum too
Both linebackers were the first group of backups that got in against Middle Tennessee. Looking forward to seeing them again Saturday. Artis looked particularly good last time and graded out really high.
Here's to squashing 25 Spiders!
Believe it or not, this is his second time having the honor. Wore it for the Liberty game last year.
Hopefully it works out a lot better for the team. Avoid the bad juju.
Here, have some good Juju, as a treat.
Good JuJu needs to be a thing, moving forward.
This was well done.
Dang it! It's already at 25.
Want...
So badly to upvote.
But it's already plaid by the 25 thread standard.
Really glad to see guys like Dean Ferguson and Keshon Artis earning PT and gaining the trust of the staff. The last couple years it never seemed like we had more than 2-3 guys we trusted for the two ILB spots. Definitely good for keeping everyone fresh, healthy, and fit.
Here's to 25 TFL on his first 25 snaps
25 opponents decleated for Mean Dean Ferguson!
Here's to hoping the students finish the game chanting "Mean Dean! Mean Dean!"
25 fumbles recovered!
How about 25 form tackles. That..... we could use.
Is he going to get a nickname? Can we call him the Dean of the Defense?
Dean of DBU (I know it's clumsy since he's not a DB but indulge me)
Ummmm isn't it obvious
There's plenty more where this came from if we wanna go down the Dean rabbit hole
RIP Norm Macdonald. I love the fact that he wrote the Celebrity Jeopardy skit just so he could do is Burt Reynolds impression 😂
25 forced fumbles returned for 25 DST TDs!
We all know this is just the start of 25 straight wins (yes, including into next season).
That would have us loosing in the NC next year...
After we win the NC this year, I can suffer losing it next year in back to back appearances.
Well hopefully we can tighten things up before the game
Oh, I think we'll be playing tight. No need to worry about that.
I thought for sure all the grammar police would have caught us loosing and not losing, but alas...
Nothing in the original quote says we stop at 25
The dean is going to put Richmond on double-secret probation.
A TWENTY FIVE MINUTE ADVANTAGE IN TIME OF POSSESSION
I would respond how I did last game. But, we are just going to skip it, based on how last game went.
25 please
25 pls
ftfy
The Dean of Defense.
Apologies to like the first 5-7 comments. Had to go through and dv a couple to get them back to 25. You animals!
Let's hold the ball for 25 more minutes than the piders (I'm aware of how I spelled that), scoring so many more points in factors of 25, while Fuente walks 25 steps to Corn to smack him 25 times to take over play calling.
When Dean tackles he gets up stares at the guy on the ground and says "I'm the Dean and you've just been schooled"
Here's to 25 tackles for loss by Dean and our D forcing a combo of 25 punts and turnovers
25 throws downfield to our receivers, followed by 25 pylon fades from the 7 yard line
Excellent shade throwing, I see what you did there. 👀
25 RPO's where the right player gets the ball too.
I wish for 25 minutes of game time where I don't have to worry about the outcome.
Dean Cain. Ripley's believe it or not.
And Superman.
