How fast can a bulldog run?

Jul 31, 2013 - A healthy English Bulldog in suitable conditions can run up to 15 mph or 24 kph.

Fast. But bulldogs can't jump very high.

What about when subjected to conditions such as Moody Madness?

Just for fun, What Order will they announce the starters in for game one? Cause I think Ben E will Start over Jarrey, I think It'll go Ben E, then Shake, then Semi, Sterling, and Ben M will be the last starter announced.

Read a lil about Gardner-Webb. They are picked to finish 3rd in the Big South. Their best player is center Tyrell Nelson who is only 6'7" but bulky. He averaged 14 & 8 last season. Otherwise, they are a guard heavy team with a PG who was one of the leaders in the nation in steals last season. Shake will need to take care of the ball. They also added a three point snipper in JUCO guard Liam O'Reilly who is from Austin.

I think I saw somewhere that they have a 6'10 kid they are starting at center.
