Seniors Tracy Porter and Tim Bugg will be part of the North team this Saturday in Mobile, Ala. for the Under Armour senior bowl. The game kicks off at 3 pm and is on the NFL Network.
Some noteable teammates of Porter and Bugg, either from the Big Ten or elsewhere include:
* Adarius Bowman and Dantrell Savage - Oklahoma State (Shudder...)
* Shawn Crable and Chad Henne - Michigan, (Two guys the Hoosiers didn't have to see this year)
* Dorien Bryant - Purdue (Would you really cheer for him if he does something good in this game?)
* Tom Zbikowski - Notre Dame (He will help if the teams end up getting into a brawl...)
* Dan Connor - Penn State (A linebacker that Kellen Lewis once referred to as a monster)
* And a ton of guys from USC (Including Quarterback John David Booty)

More on Porter:
I talked with his agent, Paul Lawrence, who said Porter is down in Mobile for all the week's activities leading up to the game, but will be back in Bloomington on Monday. I am hoping to catch an interview with him. I also found out that unlike Hardy, who is training down in Florida, Porter is training for the combine at St. Vincent Sports Performance Center in Indianapolis.
It seems to be working, Porter impressed ESPN.com's 'Scouts Inc. In their insider perspective of the Senior Bowl, they had this to say about Porter:
Finding a shutdown corner who has the ability to lock up man-to-man is never easy, but using his tremendous speed and fluid hips, Indiana CB Tracy Porter has made a solid case for himself this week. Porter is a quick-twitch corner and has done an outstanding job of blanketing receivers throughout both practices. Showing great instincts, he has the unique ability to make a quick break on the ball. This was evident during the seven-on-seven period when Porter was able to come up with an interception and head the other way for six points. He read the quick drop of Delaware QB Joe Flacco, and showing great anticipation, beat the receiver to the spot on a slant route.
Does anyone plan on watching this game? Does anyone have any questions they would like me to ask Porter or Hardy (assuming I get to talk with them both in the near future) Did anyone else feel like vomiting when they read the names Dantrell Savage, Adarius Bowman AND Dorien Bryant are teammates of Porter for a game?
