I think that Ray Lima quote really stands out. Those don’t seem to be the kinds of things CMC just throws out there.
@ChrisMWilliams What was up with the CyclonesTV coverage of Media Day? All I saw was the Campbell press conference. They've done so much more and better in years past. Is this indicative of cut-backs in their programming?
From the "C-Dubs rule about paying attention to Campbell's name-dropping:"
Ameche Walker (DB) played a limited but big role last year. I don't even remember him at all. Definitely going to be looking for him this year.
Joe Rivera (P) was the MVP of the Drake game. If we thought the game was bad, just imagine what it would have been like without him flipping the field.
He said that 70% of their sets at Toledo had two TE's. Can't wait to see it.

The whole Purdy/15 thing. Anyone else feel a bit weird how the staff (Campbell?) picks the player numbers for them? It obviously must not be hurting recruiting/culture but still...
I doubt Campbell has anything to do with it.
I'm sure it comes down to what is and isn't available.
Kind of lines up with the We before Me mindset. Love a guy like Purdy that performs at a high level with zero ego, confidence but zero ego.
I honestly don't know. I know they were having mic problems during the press conference but other than that, I am pretty out of the loop there.
So far, your interview with Purdy is about the only thing I've seen outside of the press conference. Maybe you (and others) have posted more and I just haven't seen them yet. Your "empty the notebook" column was as close as I've gotten to all the individual interviews.
John Walters interviewee Campbell for about 10 minutes and Spears for about 5. The spears one was released today. I’m wondering if instead of a live show, they did the interviews and will release them one at a time. You can find them on twitter.
Lima gets a lot of respect from teammates, too, here's a good roundup.
Gazette: Lima would rather serve than star
