In Fridays DMN there is story on the Peyton and Eli Mannings football camp being held in Thibodaux La. It says that Justin and several other college QB's are working the camp. I would think that Justin hanging out with the Manning's can only help him. The story also says that there are 900 campers there at $495.00 per camper. The rich get richer.

Please. That's not that awful of a price. If i were to add up all my bills and living costs for a week it would well exceed $500. And I don't get the Mannings coaching me while I pay the bills either.

I wasn't saying that the cost for each camper was out of line. Just that when you take $495 times 900 it get real close to $500,000.00. That's a lot of $.

Knowing the Mannings, i would guess that any profits seen from the camps will go to charities. And even if they do take the profits, I don't think that makes them bad dudes.

And I am damn glad that our man J-Dub will get some schooling from the Mannings. Even if Peyton can't win the big one. Heh. That was a joke. I love those Mannings.

With 900 campers, I doubt he'll get much one-on-one time.

Working the camp means:
working for the camp?
OR
being coached by Manning?

Looks like he's coaching in the camp:

"Among the college QBs working the camp are SMU's Justin Willis (Denton Ryan), Ohio State's Justin Zwick....."

I would take "working the camp" to mean "working the camp"... but hell, he's there with the Mannings. And they trust in his fundementals enough to have him teach the kids. He's in there with an impressive list -

Willis
Zwick
Chris Leak
JaMarcus Russell

Imagine a teacher with no more college game experience than the kids he's teaching. The Mannings must see something in him. Hope he shows it to the Tech defense.

Hey, according to you that's why we are going to get those FREE wins, because our opponents are young and inexperienced at QB. And of course, that is the source of our only hope against Tech, according to you as well. What's good for the goose....

Justin Willis will be a steady competent college QB by mid season in this offense because he's run the offense for about 6 years now. I'm sure he will distribute the ball better than anyone since Bennett has been coaching. He likely will be somewhat of a cross between the better qualities of Romo(speed) and Eckert(whatever that was)-hopefully he won't get the balll batted back in his face like Eckert. I seriously doubt if he'll ever streatch the field though but we don't have any receivers who have yet proven they can streatch the field anyway-not to take anything from Bobby Chase's leaping ability for big plays downfield. He'll struggle early especially against Texas Tech who will rattled him big time.

Nice words for Willis, Stallion. I'm moved. Regarding your last sentence, that's the main reason I really really hope that game is at minimum 65-35 run:pass. I don't want to go all the way over to that side of Texas for an evening of cannon blasts that result from turnovers. I keep having these premonitions where the Mustangs keep running the same quick out routes we see time and again, only TTech's fast corners jump the routes and take it to the house.

Agreed. And he gets 3 easy games to chew on before conference starts.

No such thing as an easy game for us folks. I think Willis will do great but at least two of those so called easy games will be dog fights. If you dont think NTSU is going to be higher then a kite in their poor excuse for a high school stadium when the ponies come up there, you dont understand how they think up there. We are the devil to them.

Tech will be playing a QB with virtually no experience, either, and our defensive line is better (I hope) than theirs. They do have a very good offensive line, though, so that might be a wash. But here's hoping our defensive line can force Tech's offense into a few mistakes, too.
