I'm going to refer to JoseQ as "CV" (Chairman Viper) from now on in the interest of efficiency - plus it's just cool.

That being said, what's this I've been hearing about a potential QB race we have unfolding at the South end of Cayuga lake?

That is truly a touchy issue.  Here is the basic rundown:

Juvan came in last year and lit up fall camp.  We were all salivating at his ability and excited that we would reload after Felicetti.  

This year, Brian Grastorf, a freshman QB from Nisky, came in and did the same thing in camp.  I wasn't there but, by all accounts, he has tremendous talent.  But, we all were ready for the Juvan era.

Then Juvan goes out and is just a slightly above average QB.  Of course, he was a rookie, his team struggled, and we played a hard schedule with tough road games at Fisher, at Alfred, and at Cortland.  But, it was apparent near the end of the season that Juvan was a game manager and the plan was to keep him from losing the game, not use him to win the game.

The question now becomes, is Juvan the QB we thought he was?  If he is, then he is our starter as Grastorf likely would go through similar growing pains as a sophomore.  But, if this is the QB Juvan is going to be, then you have to ask how big Grastorf's upside really is.  If his upside is as big as his legend in E8PP Nation, then maybe you have a camp controversy.

Thank you fisheralum91...from this point on no more trash talking of my "own" home... on the other hand I do hope to help in some way give some kind of insight on utica football

Insight on UC Football would be much appreciated.  Budcrew became a ghost, forsaking his home country (we were just a territory of Post Patterns then before our revolution and declaration of sovereignty) for the national spotlight of Around the Region.

I'll be glued to the television set all fall watching this one ...

Ok, well at least to the E8 Nation.

Max,
if you are from a burb of Utica, there is a way to make it a better place------Get involved in the community!

No as for this board - any insight on UC is welcomed!

I would like to move that we establish a formal name for our newly formed sovereign nation.

Ok, well at least to the E8 Nation.

I predict it will be much more dramatic in E8PP Nation than in reality.  It is my general sense that Welch prefers the guy with experience.  Maybe that rule gets modified a bit because Grastorf won't be a freshman.  But, if he started Steeburg over Felicetti five years ago, he isn't likely to go with Grastorf.  At least not in the opener.

I think by all accounts Juvan had a solid first year at the helm. I'd give him another year to prove what he can do - I say they let him run a little more also.
