I'm excited to announce that I will be playing quarterback for the 2016 season. It's my time to shine, I've been waiting for this moment my whole life.

Didn't notice SHOCKING was a link. Therefore, I thought this thread was a turd. Seeing Magnuson dropping back with arm in rifle position is pretty damn hilarious, though. Thanks, Mr. Yost, for embedding the image.

At least it's just relaying a joke made by one of our players. I was sure it would be an mgo-user attempt at the pitiful level we've seen all off season.

The starting QB will be Peppers. Speight willl be the slot receiver and O'Korn will be the fulll back. All players have to play multiple positions. The full back will receive the direct snap and will lateral to the slot who will throw a fifty yard pass to Gentry. for a touchdown. Things will be completely different for the second play against Hawaii.We will have the most unpredicatble team known to mankind!

He's going to have to get to the second level on his own because...oh, wait, not sure it's any worse.

All these thread perfectionist need to get over themselves.... Seriously... Every semi-decent thread has a ton of people ripping on it because the thread isn't up to their standards. Do you really take mgoblog that seriously? If you don't like the thread don't click on it

Magnuson isn't starting QB. Legal has determined Jim Harbaugh himself qualifies an extra year of eligibility. Jimmy's a suitin' up - stay on the bomb run, boys! He's gonna get them doors open if it harelips ever'body on Bear Creek!

This definitely doesn't bode well for our team if he's legitimately in the conversation for qb

Some people really have a stick up their ass. Nothing wrong with a little levity. Sure there isn't a lot of info coming from the submarine but I am fine with that. I will gladly take less info over empty statements from the players about toughness or hearing how Nathan Brink or Freddy Cateen will be the next big thing.

The best part of this is that he's not even bigger than Jared "The Pillsbury Throwboy" Lorenzen, who was upwards of 320 when he played. THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FUCKING POUNDS. Mags looks like a little guy next to The Hefty Lefty.
