So that’s how he got the nickname Shady?

“My mom gave me that nickname. She said I was a shady baby,” said McCoy, who took more snaps with the first team yesterday than he had previously. “I’d cry and then be happy and smiling and she said I had a shady attitude. It has stuck with me since I was little so I just got used to it.”

I just refer to my boy as “Bi-polar Lad” when he acts that way. Though, this is my favorite sighting (and Season 2 just came out).

There was a Q&A with Johnathan Baldwin, a top player out of Aliquippa. Nothing on his leanings yet.

Did you learn anything at all this spring when [Aliquippa basketball star] Herb Pope was shot at a party? Yeah, but I already knew you have to keep yourself away from certain things and certain people. Some people are jealous of you and you never know what can happen.

Redshirt Sophomore Craig Bokor is hoping not to move back and forth on the offensive and defensive lines. He just wants to stay at Defensive Tackle and play.

“It takes a long time to learn to play defensive line, but Craig has picked things up pretty quick this fall,” defensive line coach Greg Gattuso said. “It helped that he started in the spring, and he played both ways in high school.

“He’s a well-conditioned athlete who works hard on and off the field, and he’s been very coachable. So, I’ve asked to keep him at D-tackle because I think he can help us, and I know Coach Wannstedt feels that way, too.”

As the article notes, Bokor was moved to the spot because they needed to shore it up after some injuries. Now, the position is much, much deeper and he is just trying to stay in the rotation.
