Spikes and a defensive player got into a little skirmish after one of the long plays, it was broken up. Spikes was sent to the sidelines. Players were mouthing off. No big deal this kind of stuff happens in football.

It was a lot more than that from what I saw. Hud ran 20 off the field after he fumbled twice in a row, then said he wanted a running back who could run the ball or at least hold on to the ball & 20 went ballistic. He & one of the assistants, the RB coach I would imagine got into it big time. Then he wen to the sidelines to sulk for about 10 minutes. When Gauthier broke his big run the next thing I saw was 20 on the field by the coaches again & one of the defensive players took his butt to the ground. He wasn't even in on the play. I watched this guy quite a bit during practice & what I saw didn't look like a guy who is long for this team. That's it. happy now?
Don't know why bandwagon was so "hush hush" about it, it's football! Emotions get high in this sport, beating around the bush only sparked further interest. Thanks for clearing things up. And I too am really glad to hear gauthier is playing like a beast! I wouldn't mind gauthier and Masson splitting reps and Masson winning the job. This will only make Blaine want it more, then Blaine can be the MAN next season while broadway learns the ropes this season and next season he will push Blaine! It's gonna be a really interesting spring game! I really wanna see RB production this season, last season was PITIFUL! No disrespect to streeter, he would have helped team a bunch if it weren't for that injury, he looked good on his limited time with team!

I didn't beat around the bush on this thing. Everyone else beat around the bush. I didn't really want to talk about it, but I aint gonna lie about it either. This guy has a bad attitude & if it don't get good in a hurry, he's gonna worki his way off the team in a hurry! NOW, that's all there is to say about that.
Everyone knew that spikes had a big head coming into this school, he said he would break fenroys records while he was being recruited.we all know that isn't gonna happen now, but as long as he is productive on the field and doesn't get into trouble off the field, I dont care what he says or does.

If Aaron Spikes is No. 20 and I believe he is, he was our best RB last year. He was very effective catching the ball out of the backfield and in fact had several TD catches. I remember one basically won the game at UNT and he scored on a TD pass against Ole Miss. He just needs to get on the same page as the new staff and that will allow him to continue to contribute.
Spikes AKA #20 was our best running back last year and I'd venture to assume that will be the same this year unless one of these freak freshmen take control.
#21 AKA Lance Kelley was playing safety at the beginning of spring and for the past 2 years. He's going to be a small LB and quite frankly, I don't see him playing as much as several of the other guys like Lewis-Buchanon, Hebert, Johnson, Comminie etc.
Our safeties are going to be fine. Once Gibson gets back, he and Stokes are going to be legit and Cooper Gerami will either start for Stokes or provide tremendous depth.
I've loved Gautier for several years and made bold predictions that he'd be starting as of first game last year. However, until we see him running with the #1's which we've just never seemed to see, it will be Masson's team.
I think if our O-line can actually block a defense lineman this year or even provide a whole to run through more than twice a game, then we will have much better stats on ground. Our Oline was terrible at some points of the season, just giving up sack after sack and providing no running room. I aslo think that play that spikes had many TD's with will continue to work, especially with a 2nd back lined up behind qb, because spikes has more breakout and breakaway speed than other backs, and the defense will bite on inside back while spikes just blazes down sideline - R. Walker might be close though.
