Handshakes

The AFCA recently sent letters to each school requesting participation in this initiative of civility for the opening week of the season. Here's what some of the players had to say about shaking hands with Boise St. players on September 3rd:

-Jeremiah Masoli: "Wow, that's different. That's unique. ... I don't like it. I don't even like shaking hands when you get out there with the captains for the coin flip. It might spice things up a little bit, I don't know. I just like running on the field; this is our side, that's your side, and it's game time."

-Darron Thomas: "I don't know about that. It's war out there on the field. Once you turn it on ... no handshaking until the game's over. I don't know about the handshaking."

-Talmadge Jackson: "Sounds a little iffy to me."

-Spencer Paysinger: "Reminds me of Little League but that's fine if that's what we have to do."

-Chip Kelly: "I got bigger things to worry about. If they want us to do it, we'll do it. Happily"

I can't wait to see how this turns out!
