2000 Captains

[SMU00]

Have the captains for next year been named yet? If so, who are they? If they haven't been named, here are my votes:

Josh McCown
Chase Schavrda
Courtney Richardson
Rich Nichols

Any other ideas?

[MustangMan]

Those sound like solid suggestions.

Along those same lines, here are some younger players who could/should be captains in future seasons: Vic Viloria, Kevin Garrett, Danny Murphy, Chris Cunningham, Devonric Johnson, Kevin Aldridge.

THE ROCK SAYS...

I AGREE WITH SCHAVRDA, BUT NOT WITH RICH OR COURTNEY, AND I AM UNCERTAIN WITH REGARDS TO JOSH.

HERE IS WHO I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MAKE CAPTAINS

CHASE SCHAVRDA
VIC VILORIA

THOSE ARE THE ONLY TWO THAT I CAN THINK OF THAT WOULD FOR CERTAIN BE GOOD CAPTAINS. BUT I BELIEVE COACH CAVAN DOES NOT DO SEASON CAPTAINS, HE LIKES TO HAVE GAME CAPTAINS. SO THEY WOULD SIMPLY MEAN WHO EVER HAS BEEN THE BEST LEADER IN THE WEEKS PRACTICES AND PERHAPS IN THE LAST GAME. RIGHT?

[South Texas Pony]

Mr. Rock, you are correct. Coach Cavan goes with game captains. I asked my son while he was here, and he said they did not do season captains. The captains are named on a game-to-game basis.

[SMUPonyFan]

I like Cavan's style of game captains. It gives the players a goal to set, and a pat on the back for good performance. I can see the Comet, Briggs, Freeman, McCarthy, KG, Vic, Pratt, Aldrige, Price, and Jonas getting some time as captains. I am sure I left out a lot, anyone?

I think you will see some of the same game captains repeatedly. From this list, I would say the most likely people to be game captains on multiple occasions would be Schavrda and McCarthy, the only two real seniors, I think.

I agree that Vic Viloria has the attitude and spirit of a captain. But after missing last year with academic problems, maybe he should play another year, destroy people on the field, and show his leadership off the field by getting his schoolwork squared away before being a captain on the field. Besides, with the way he rants and raves on the field, he's a real leader anyway. His passion is contagious.

[SMUPonyFan]

ALL4SMU, McCarthy is not a senior, he has great leadership, but is only a Junior. This is a great sign though!

Gameday captains are a good idea. It also serves as a possible barrier if something untoward was to happen to a season captain.
