# | Bitter blog - Q&A: Bud Foster talks about a trip to Ole Miss, a disappointing Sun Bowl and QB scrambles I wonder if Bud is planning on holding off on senior night until after the bowl game in the future. Seems like it would be a good thing to do once they're back from the bowl game.
I have a high horse, its called in the rafters, over the catwalk, off the scoreboard, bank shot, nothing but net. Here is your H.
Raw emotions, they'll get after ya!
He is another one I will get to watch a few times. Stone Bridge is loaded with talent. There are quite a few kids that "arrange" to live in the SB district to play for their head coach.
Cool video.
Torrey Smith was being interviewed on a radio show recently (I don't recall which one) and he discussed an upcoming charity basketball game being held at University of Maryland. A number of Ravens players are taking on some Redskins players. The host asked Torrey who the best basketball player is on the Ravens and he said Tyrod Taylor without any hesitation.
Here are the NCAA auto bids. That puts Gustafson, Mastriani, and Gabel needing to exceed their seeds. Moon and Walz need to hold or better.

I didn't realize we missed that many kicks, or had that many TD's against us. Hard to win close games like that. Great article Bitter, looking forward to part II
I don't have a high horse. It's college basketball. What is and isn't ethically acceptable is graded on a curve.
I will almost literally take anyone as the next Head Coach over James Johnson. Maybe not Dennis Wolf, but it's close.
Dahman McKinnon.
Yep, I'm gonna go against the grain on this one.
Yup. He hasn't had much success this year, even with Carter's pelvis/hamstring in multiple pieces.
Haha, nice. So if Spisak (UVA) wins his first round match, he'll be the first guy Carter wrestles.
Does anybody know how we managed to get a B-2 flyover back in the day? Always wondered who pulled those strings, not something that happens very often
All I wanna know is who it was that tasted the zebra urine in order to compare...
This needs to happen.... seriously.
I think your problem here is assuming that people are always thinking.
A lot of these situations may be attributed to people not thinking.
Speaking of that, I bet the next person to say the word "Duke" to him before game week will turn up missing.
Mmmmmmmm... Blue Mountain Dark Hollow.
Yup, that's about what excessive commercials make me want to do.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Bud Foster deserves nothing short of a Nobel Peace Prize for having never strangled Newsome, O'Cain, and (to a lesser extent) Stiney. Did I mention Newsome yet?
I will never understand what people think that achieves.
I think they would have to resituate the north endzone to make it general admission. Currently you show your ticket to get into the game, then again to get into north endzone. Also, since a large amount of the student section is in the east stands, they would have to figure out how to work that as well. I'm in favor of a point system for attending sporting events that is then used for placement for season tickets. The top point getters get put in general admission north, the rest get assigned seats in the east. Complicated, but it should work in some way or the other
Guys like Nnadi are too big for Foster's prototypical DT.
On the contrary, I think Nnadi was just right for Foster's system. At 6'1", 305 lbs, I'm not quite sure how you think he would be too big. Too heavy? Too tall? Neither of which are true. Skip was 6'0", 311 lbs. My understanding is Foster isn't worried about size as much as speed. You have to have the speed and ability to move between blocks and get into the backfield, not just eat blocks for your LBs and DEs to make all the plays. That was Nnadi's style and that's why we went after him.
Everyone is getting caught up on the Teller comment, but you raise a good point. Guys like Nnadi are too big for Foster's prototypical DT. A guy like Bronson is prototypical DE size and we're already hearing he's slated for DT. A guy like Keihn (and Ekanem before him) are prototypical MLB size and get moved to DE (Keihn has never even played much MLB).
We're a twenner defense, always have been, always will be. And it shows in our NFL export record, we're good exporting the players who aren't tweeners: DB's.

Its an interesting psychological debate whether to have it before or after the bowl game. In a way, having the meeting before may help instill a fire to finish out strong and to give it a last horah, and that's where the emotion comes from, realizing it will be your last game. That also could come with its own distractions as Bud was saying.
