Report was broken leg for the fellow that left by ambulance and an "upper body part" for the one that walked off the field.  I didn't even know about the second one, just what was relayed to me.</description><pubDate>Tue, 22 Apr 2008 11:39:44 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>J-Dog</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: Spring Ball</title><link>http://www.drakenation.com/Topic24232-9-1.aspx</link><description>See duplicate below.  This new position is ideal for Gus.  Allows him to catch passes and turn upfield.  Allows him to block.  He LOVES to block people.</description><pubDate>Mon, 21 Apr 2008 12:08:43 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>DJOM</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: Spring Ball</title><link>http://www.drakenation.com/Topic24232-9-1.aspx</link><description>Yes, he will.

Clock management was abysmal.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;That and the punt snapping that cost Drake the Davidson game must improve.</description><pubDate>Sun, 20 Apr 2008 12:06:01 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>LurkingDog</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: Spring Ball</title><link>http://www.drakenation.com/Topic24232-9-1.aspx</link><description>Off to a good, not great, but good start. First play was delay of game and I heard a lot of "here we go again" comments from the stands.  Must have had some issues with that last year?  Several good individual efforts out there, especially big hits by D.  D looked like they are sharper than O did, but that was to be expected with all the new plays and such.  What I did see was lots of enthusiasm from players for their squad and the entire team.  At the end of game huddle, coach told to guys to visit the two that went to the hospital.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As this was my first time to see the team live, it was overall better than I expected and it gives the players a chance to know what to focus on for the next few months.</description><pubDate>Sun, 20 Apr 2008 08:58:16 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>J-Dog</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: Spring Ball</title><link>http://www.drakenation.com/Topic24232-9-1.aspx</link><description>I posted this on the PFL board but thought I would register and post them here too.  Some of these photos aren't the best but hope to get the rust off by this fall.

Cole looked good at QB.  Gus Olofsson looked strong at J-Back.  Bialais looked strong at tail.  It appeared as if everyone on the team saw alot of playing time during this evening's game.  Great way to build sense of team with all players.  I was impressed with players' attitudes before, during and after game.</description><pubDate>Sat, 19 Apr 2008 22:42:17 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>DJOM</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: Spring Ball</title><link>http://www.drakenation.com/Topic24232-9-1.aspx</link><description>Where will these backs end up on the depth chart?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ellison&lt;br&gt;Bialas&lt;br&gt;Olofsson&lt;br&gt;Bucklin (back to tailback?)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;'Anyone see them play in the spring game?</description><pubDate>Sat, 19 Apr 2008 22:24:22 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>LurkingDog</dc:creator></item><item><title>Spring Ball</title><link>http://www.drakenation.com/Topic24232-9-1.aspx</link><description>Any updates with Drake's first spring ball under Creighton?
