Wanted to have one thread where I could have every senior who accepts a senior bowl invite. I'll list all the senior bowls. Where they are playing, when and if it's on TV. Then I'll list which seniors accept invites to which ones. This will update all the way through the games with updates.

Very happy & excited for Facyson. Hope he has a GREAT showing in the game (as well as @ the combine) to boost his draft stock. Crossing fingers he could go as high as 2nd-3rd round.
He does have a decade or two of college playing experience
He's been around as long as JT Barrett. Except we don't bitch about BF every chance we get unlike anOSU fans do with JT.

Absolutely stoked for him, but on another note...how many GD senior bowl games are there now? The Collegiate Bowl? This is new, yes?
I'm still working on finding all the games, their dates, if they air on TV and where they are played. But yes there are a lot. There actually is one fewer this year because one in Charleston folding up shop to try and become a full fledged bowl game in the future.
Yes, that is a thread I would love to read. Please include their pecking order as well. Is Senior Bowl the top bowl? I just have no clue.
I love that Motu is carrying a ball in the shot. He seemed to end up with the ball in his hands more than your average MLB.

More importantly, what the hell is "Panini Blitz" and how do I get one?
Sorry I wasn't able to do this thread like I was hoping but there have been some major changes in the Fireman household the last few weeks. All good news that I hope to be able to share in a month or so.
We have our first senior Bowl today at 9am. Eric Gallo is playing and you can watch it streaming here.

You have to sign up for an account though so I'm not sure it's worth it. I'll try this week if none of my kids get sick like this past week to actually update the post with the info I promised.
Jeez, #5's on the way already?
Noooopppeeee
You're buying 400 TKPC memberships?
The wifey got a job in NRV and you're coming home?
No the open job in Blacksburg is awful. On your call everyday you don't take a vacation day for.
Didn't watch but looks like Moto had a good week. From the Sporting News write-up of too performers at the Collegiate Bowl:
Andrew Motuapuaka, LB, Virginia Tech — Motuapuaka was one of the stars at the NFLPA game. Following a highly productive career for the Hokies, he had a great week in Pasadena. The 6 feet, 236-pound New Zealand native has good vision and ball skills. He was able to recognize plays, resulting in tipped passes at the line, and is a sure tackler in the open field. He had more than 200 tackles over the last two seasons at Virginia Tech and finished his career with 32 1/2 tackles for loss and 11 1/2 sacks.
I watched between chasing kids are d the house while wife was working this weekend. He got a fumble recover inside the ten. Made some tackles and had great vision on a screen but the RB dropped the ball, he also dropped into pass coverage well.
Man it's been fun watching him develop as a player. He went from a guy that many people considered a liability to a leader and an extremely important part of the D.
Teller has looked good by all accounts at the Senior Bowl. Praise from lots of NFL talking heads and our own French. I'm curios how they invite players because there are a lot of LOLUVA guys there and Wyatt is only Hokie.
LOLUVA always, always, has NFL talent, but they are soft, and the results never come together in college....we can reprise Colin Cowherd if we need to, but the softness has been proven since 2004. A good coach could put the team over, but Bronco fits in so well.
This is where I would post the gifs of Blanding getting his ass beat by Ryan Malleck and getting thrown to the ground in his last loss of many to the Hokies.

Once this goes plaid I think someone needs to @ Quin Blanding on twitter about this post...
Will NEVER get tired of these. Ever.
If you want to me to file a complaint or ask a question, I can do so. I know Phil Savage, director of the Senior Bowl.
Teller was playing right guard instead of left side with the first group. It was a missed bag in the little bit of team drills I watched. On the first play, he had a great chip on a zone block and then got to the second level and popped a linebacker. The run popped for a big gain. The second play he pulled left and looked a bit awkward. He kind of got bounced off the defender- very unTeller like. The third play was an outside zone right, with Teller dropping deep. The DT split him and the center for a TFL- with the way Teller bucket stepped it was likely on the center. However, the proper line call would have been a pin and pull with Teller pinning the DT inside and the center pulling around.
I looked at the measurables. Teller had the second longest wingspan of any OL at the Senior Bowl. Hopefully he puts it together between the ears and has a great showing.
