What To Watch For: Texas A & M
I have no idea how this’ll play out. The defense has to play better, as a whole. Maybe with the reduced workload last week, Calais, Teraz, and the rest of the d- line will be ready to take on a damned good offense. If not, or if people continue to go down with injuries, this […]

Leaving FIU Behind
I have no idea what to make of the University of Miami’s football team, circa 2007. I mean, sure, based on results to date, the team isn’t that good.
There’s no doubt in my mind that the performance would have been better if the weak spots of the team on offense and defense hadn’t been further […]

What To Watch For: FIU
Hopefully no one gets injured and there’s no reason for ESPN to spend three months bemoaning an outlaw culture at the program. Both of those things would be awesome. I’d like for Kyle to get some confidence going into the game with Texas A & M. I’d also appreciate not running the spread when our […]

The Joke’s On You
I realize I’m working with the loosest definition of “later tonight” possible, seeing as how it’s seven full days later, but it took that long for me to work up the courage to rewatch on TiVo. So, was the game as bad as 51-13 would indicate? Pretty much. But, with judicious application of my orange […]

Yikes.
Expect more later tonight, but that was vicious. Cripes. Apparently Marshall was indeed the mirage of the dying man.

Oklahoma Preview
I dunno. Maybe it’s the usual goofy endorphin rush one gets 90 minutes before kickoff, but I could see this happening. Undoubtedly, the Sooners are legitimately favored (by 11.5 though? if online gambling were still a tricky grey area and not flat illegal, I’d be happy to make my usual $5 show-support-for-the-team wager), but Oklahoma’s […]

A Week Certainly Flies By
Once again, reality has intruded with a handful of predicaments, so, without much ado, last week in bullet form.
The running game was good. Scary Good. The o-line looked vicious for Javarris James, Graig Cooper, Derron Thomas, Kirby Freeman, Jerrell Mabry, and a guy who I think got on the team bus by accident at […]

What happened?
I’ll be back to post more in the next day, but I wanted to take this opportunity to say that
1)We’re back, to those who’ve been checking the site religiously
2)We’ll be updating links and doing assorted bookkeeping, within the next few days
3)If Kirby plays well, and Javarris doesn’t get seriously hurt, this team goes from a […]
