Hi honey, I'm home

Back from my vacation, feeling rested and ready for some football.

What did I miss?

Well, probably the biggest news is that backup QB Andrew Beam has decided to transfer. He was apparently battling for his backup spot and wants to play his senior year, for which you cannot blame him. Good luck to him. I was pretty surprised that he didn't throw a pass
at all last season.

As a side note, his loss will not doubt be bemoaned by those fans for whom the backup QB always has mystical powers which are wasting away on the bench.

Anyway, for this year, it certainly makes things tougher. The spot will either be taken by r-fr Aaron Pankratz or true fr Matt Schilz.

Both were highly recruited and have promise but will be taking their first snaps if something happens to Sheehan. At least Beam had some Juco snaps.

Also I saw that Calvin Wiley (Sr WR) may be out for the year, which could hurt depth just where we need it.

More tomorrow on another verbal and a serious attempt to load up at QB.

An update: I see in the Blade story that Beam had actually lost the starting job, so obviously our coaches were more comfortable with Pankratz or Schilz (or maybe both).
