  • Great questions from all of you. I really like the feature. Feel free to post all of your questions for Rod in this thread. I will keep a record of all of the questions and we will get to as many of them as we can. How many we address will just depend on our content week to week.

    Mbutler

  • Thanks for having Rod just talk ball Matt. I really enjoyed listening. I hope you guys can do a few minutes of that each week during the slow season. Just please understand its very important to me that he not dumb it down. Also, just to remind you, Maceo is my first name and the "a" in my username is just the first initial of my last name, so just call me Maceo when you read my questions. As usual, loved the show.

  • Matt, just saw in the other thread you already acknowledged you added the "a" to my name. Lol.

  • I guess I went Ron Burgandy and just read whatever was put in front of me.

    Mbutler

  • I thought Keith's story about having to tell Coach Royal that he was going to stop playing football to focus on baseball was great.

    Mbutler

  • Rod's opinion on the secondary is a really good listen. Lots of good info in there. He started around the 12-minute mark and he goes on for about twenty minutes.

    Mbutler

  • Thanks again for discussing my question. You guys can even turn a dumb question into an interesting discussion.

    My Cornhorn handle comes from the fact that I live in the great town of Helotes (means corn), which is a few miles outside of San Antonio.

  • CornHorn... Anytime. Keep the questions coming.

  • And due to a few extenuating circumstances this will be the first week since our inception that we will not have a new episode of the podcast. We will back with a new episode on March 21st which should have plenty of good stuff from spring practice.

    Keep the questions for Rod coming though. We will continue to take as many of them as we can each week. The questions last week sparked a lot of great insight and information from Rod.

    Thanks for the questions and the feedback.
