EPI...no, I am a street agent, freelance guy. But I do work with many new home construction builders who let me sit in their model homes when empty and also market their products in creative ways to generate traffic (open houses for inventory/spec homes).
Posted by: 86Cane | October 28, 2014 at 09:53 PM
Primarily I focus on new home construction, lakefront properties and golf course communities. But for buck-fity I'll do just about anything? LOL

Lurker...if U only knew! Me and my boi WWIM, well let's just say that we, or maybe not? LOL
Just kidding, JUST KIDDING!

I know
They're as real as all get out. They run a lot of stuff. Mostly rep SEC schools, including the gators. But Bama, Lsu and a few others use them. Or I should say their boosters use them. I know this indisputably
Posted by: Lurker | October 28, 2014 at 10:35 PM
We don't use them, but our coaches know about them. That's the last I'm saying.

What was left of the 2009 OLine class graduated last year.
What's left of the 2010 class graduates this year.
We lost 40% of our starting OLine last year...Henderson & Linder.
If Flowers leaves, we lose 60% of our starters this year...Feliciano,Flowers, & McDermott.
So no, I don't believe Al Golden is stockpiling O-Linemen "just cuz".
TonyCane, what say you?

@UnderwoodSports: Amid all the failings (of which there have been plenty), this team is quietly improving and playing WAYYY better than early in the season
@UnderwoodSports: And, I say again: If we got another shot at Louisville we win that game by 10+ pts.
Posted by: Go Canes | October 28, 2014 at 10:49 PM
I was never really blown away by Brown, but Archibald was a good lookin' prospect.
Posted by: CaneRock | October 28, 2014 at 10:56 PM
by: Go Canes | October 28, 2014 at 10:49 PM
Completely agree, but think we should have beat Louisville to start the season.
Posted by: Dude on a Pale Horse | October 28, 2014 at 11:02 PM
CR,
I liked Archibald too, he was a great prospect. I never really watched Brown, so I don't know what we lost. What I really want to know is; where's the elite CB when there are so many around Miami? We can't get even one kid? We need an elite DT also but I'm not so sure that will happen this year.
