2 weeks! Can't wait!

I like Mealer's demeanor. He just seems like a charismatic and nice guy.
August 18th, 2012 at 9:26 AM ^
The Mealer family has been a great story and bright spot of the football program over the past several seasons. Lessons to be learned from them.
August 18th, 2012 at 8:20 AM ^
@ the 2:08 mark you can see one of the newly hatched white throated sparrows cautiously poke it's head out to check for predators! -socute
I'm expecting as much on the field from Elliot this year as I am from his habitat.
August 18th, 2012 at 8:35 AM ^
today is suppose to be scrimmage day... maybe mgoblue will have video later?
August 18th, 2012 at 8:51 AM ^
Again, Elliot's beard would look a lot better holding the Paul Bunyan trophy.
August 18th, 2012 at 9:24 AM ^
Of a D-lineman if you could have Mealer's beard with Jake Ryan's hair... that combination would have to yield the second ever Heisman for a primarily defensive player. 14 days, 10hrs, 36 minutes.

I'm curious to see what the staff ends uP doing with Mealer almost as much as anyone onthe team. Since he's a senior I obviously wouldn't be surprised if he were to get a starting spot but also tend to think that with our lack of offensive line depth he could play just as critical a role coming off the bench to spell multiple spots. Could anyonetell me what positions on the line he has been used at throughout his career and what do you guys think his role will be once the season starts?
August 18th, 2012 at 9:51 AM ^
Although he's a senior and reluctant to demonstrate his skills out of the locker room, he discusses his skill with TVH in this ESPN interview, and lets Tom talk him into at least a little Taylor Lewan:

Very timely. That forward-leaning Hoke walk may not be good for PeeWee's neck, so it's good to know he has a ready back-up in Elliott until he's back to form.

When the Navy SEALs like your beard, you know you're doing it right
August 18th, 2012 at 9:45 AM ^
Can't wait to see this team on the field.

August 18th, 2012 at 9:52 AM ^
Damn confident about Big Ten championship. Would be great!
August 18th, 2012 at 9:56 AM ^
Did you guys see BWC's pad level at the 1:33 mark??? Daaaaamn (good).
August 18th, 2012 at 10:19 AM ^
Or have these last 20 days or so til kickoff been dragging ass?! Grrrr :(
August 18th, 2012 at 10:54 AM ^
They should play this in the Big House when Mealer destroys someone on a block:

The Beard.
The Beard.
The Beard.

Afghanistan Beard. I love it.
August 18th, 2012 at 1:03 PM ^
The beard is epic - looking at photos of a clean-shaven Elliott Mealer, you almost wouldn't know it was the same guy. I must ask - purely hypothetically, of course - that if there is any game where we see no Mealer and a few SEALs, is it fair to assume what has happened?
Hope to see him quite a bit this year. Rather interested in hearing Brandon Moore tomorrow as well.
August 18th, 2012 at 6:20 PM ^
that IS the dude from the Zac Brown Band, right?!
August 18th, 2012 at 7:56 PM ^
Oops, wrong thread. Here's some Ufer.
August 18th, 2012 at 8:27 PM ^
Not Amish unless he shaves the mustache. Not sure what the SEALs position on that is.
