I figure I'll consolidate this into one thread. Keep checking back for more tidbits

First caveat: More was shown today than last weekend...but all I'll say is the O will be multiple.

Very few fans today due to moving up the scrimmage from 1800 to 1130. Kudos to CuseLegacy for tipping me off to the time change. Tomcat was able to fly up to be there. In true form we planned a rendezvous on the fly near the main gate. I had to vouch Tomcat on. In a first for Tomcat we got selected for a random car inspection going through the main gate. We passed luckily I left all my contraband back home. ;-) Fort Drum is very easy to get to now with the I-781 extension to I-81 exit 48A. If Fort Drum were a city it would be the largest city in the state land wise and probably boost more folks living on base than the City of Oswego. They scrimmaged at the same field as in the past. A really nice field with quality turf. They played offense with the tailwind today.

Lots of running 1's vs 2's...we had one significat person sit out today for the first time (not going to say who until SU says). My gut tells me a good chance it is not medical...I'll throw you a bone...it is not on the DL.

IMHO, Hunt is Hunt...seems the same...he'll win us games but there is a ceiling. RBs all had great success today. The XB was utilized more (Phillips and Lewis). I think Dungey overtakes Wilson by CMU. My guess is he plays this year.

Glad to hear more of the same. For the very limited time I saw Dungey at fan fest he just seemed crisp on his decisions and throws. Seemed to know where team mates would be and had quick feet.

Agree on hunt, definitely isn't going into set the world on fire but hopefully can get us some wins.

Was it Ishmael that was out? It was tweeted if so, but that might be medical not sure.

Ish was out with ice on his knee. I have to assume it wasn't him.
 
I meet Coach Shafer after the scrimmage...folks we have a new tradition.

Unknown to SU I had 50 Military Challenge Coins (google it) with an SU theme. I just knew Coach Shafer and coaches were going to receive these types of coins from the Army and they would love to reciprocate.

Anyways I said coach, I made up 25 challenge coins for you to give out todeserving Army Troops. He lit up and said they were just talking about having coins...he thanked me and had Drew Robinson get my contact info. They are going to make up more. I think they want them for VIP's, Donors and recruits? I see these becoming a collectible. Anyways to help defray most of my expenses I'm selling about 25 other coins to anyone here on the board. Lemme see if I can attach a file of the coin. I'm asking double the price they cost but know you are buying one for a soldier. I have 7 sold already. I have 13 left. They are $20 each. Send me a PM if you want an original HC Scott Shafer SU Football Coin

Jekelish...I'm posting on a tablet...if I can't load the file I'll send it to you.

Didn't see Devante in any of the highlights.. But I saw a picture of him suited up signing autographs.

Trying think who else it could be.

If it's Franklin I will get hysterical up in here

Looking at the many highlights, I can't say that I saw Franklin at any time. Mostly saw Henderson. But, then I didn't see Shy either.

Sent you a PM, Mark
 
Here's the coin proof, Mark asked me to post it:

Mark, you can...uh, MARK me down for one. I'll be able to PayPal you the necessary funds.



I just like phrasing it like that to make this sound like something shady.

Good call. He's not in any pictures in this gallery (not that it means anything): http://dailyorange.com/2015/08/gallery-fort-drum-scrimmage/

There's some nice highlights in that video.

Hunt throws the Dowels pick 6

#'s that stood out to me
#22 - Fredericks nice run. kid looks the part. if he's doing the 'other' things he might be the starter at some point this season
#9 - Brisley looks smooth and explosive
#27 - Morris nice run
#2 - Dungey (first time i've seen him throw. his passes look good. bobbled one snap but recovered)
#17 - Custis with catch and run
#11 - Trey catch and run
#90 - Cam nice catch
