When's the Trading Deadline?
Posted: Tue Sep 23, 2003 4:07 pmHey everybody! Are you ready to talk some footballs?
This season is allready over, and we all know it. With all the talk about how many redshirts we have, why can't we just trade one of our more established older players like Rutledge to get some ready to play sophomores? That way we could keep the core of kids together while getting younger at some skill positions.
Or, with our abudance of redshirt freshman, maybe a package of one or two of them would be attractive bait for an older BCS team with a bunch of seniors that sees a chance to win right now and would be willing to part with a longer backup who could be a WAC-level starter. That could get us some veteran leadership, which is going to be necessary for next season's team.
I hate to start the hot stove talk in September, but this has been a hard year for the Ford Stadiumn Faithful. This should be a really interesting offseason on the Hilltop. I hope we can make some good trades and continue building for the future!
