I think this boils down to Bo Wallace. We have seen the best and worst of him, so lets see what happens. If Good Bo shows up, this will be a helluva game. If Bad Bo shows, it will be the Ags in a rout. I'm through making predictions concerning Bo Wallace and Ole Miss.

Kinda funny you have lost two bets too me already. I told you make it light on yourself. I wanted to bet with you the first week of the season and you still haven't responded. Enjoy your four years James, it is in the past this year will be a different story. BTW wasn't a left over Burnett Team. BF went and got Doty to be the QB, had he not done that the Qb would have been a Linebacker. Get ready for all that hot air to be deflated Next Week in your stadium. You had better focus on Central First. Looking ahead and not staying focused might jump up and bite you. Bad judgement call by Coach got us last year, not gonna happen this year. I guess if yall lose this week and next week it will be because of Sage being hurt. I keep hearing whispers about yall being banged up. Well we are banged up too but not gonna use that as an excuse, we just keep chugging along.

@HookEmFans: We went with our #Ebola defense on that last drive: Don't touch or tackle anyone. #hookem

More and more I watch this Sage kid the more I like him...he getting looks from any schools?

PNG wins district if my opinion carries any wait. I even told a very good friend of mine named Toby Foreman last night because he asked me to be honest what I thought a score would be for PNG and Central and I said PNG 35-24. PNG is so balanced on offense and the defense in Faircloth's own words "has played better than the offense." 
Now if Central won I wouldn't be shocked by any means but PNG to me right now is the best team in the district. When your only loss is to a team named WOS, you have my vote.

Can you Horns and Aggies quit peeing on every thread here? NOBODY at UT has a shot at the Heisman. Hill is a dark horse, however, his stock might rise as the luster on Mariota is now a little tarnished. (If A&M can beat Miss State!)  While this probably is a QB award, I'm liking Gurley and Amari Cooper. I cant get excited about any Big 10 player, even Abdullah.

Nash, here is the real author of this article:

While I somewhat respect Coach Holtz, this didn't sound like him so I googled it.
First of all, I mostly agree with the article, but the website you sent me too is as nutty as the late night am radio stuff! C'mon Nash! You are much better than this!

I dont think it is a quality win. Arkansas snatched defeat from the jaws of victory! It is a win however, and thats what matters in the end.

I can't speak for the rest of the Pirate faithful, but I really appreciated the applause after the young lady who led the invocation ended it with "in Jesus name." I try not to be political on the board but I do believe the vast majorityof Texas high school football fans are made to bow to the wishes of the very few.

IDK
 
Said it was a good win.
 
Arkansas is more quality than USC, LU, Rice, or SMU.
 
I am really really trying to be nice.

While I despise Holder and welcome his departure, I have NO confidence the President will select a good AG and will likely replace him with one of the same caliber. In the end... No change.

I think so... Tony looked good in the spring game with his arm in a sling. Bama's secondary is thin now and Tony can really make a splash. He had a good game against Florida and I'm anxious to see him play against Ole Miss next week.

I waited until this thread almost played out before I responded. I'll admit, I'm part of the problem... I am no longer a season ticket holder at Lamar. I let them go, as I was not getting much bang for my buck. Part of the problem is my work schedule whick leaves me little free time, especially on Saturdays. When I do have the chance, I have to decide  between seeing LU beat the snot out of no-name univerisy or watch Bama play on my own big screen at home. Id rather see a good, solid football game and not a lopsided affair. While winning has its allure, Lamar beating nobodies does nothing for me. A decent team coming to Lamar an beating them badly does nothing for me either. While the gameday atmosphere is MUCH better now than when I was a student 30+ years ago, it is still not enough.I don't buy into the commuter school issue, because I believe the commuter students would love to have some Cardinal pride themselves! So... what is the soultion? To me, a team that does well in its conference, continually improves, schedules worthy opponents and plays their hearts out every week would get me back on board. I dont have the time to tailgate or make any of the other social activities, but I do think these things bring people into the mix. Local recruitment plays into this, as well as the Head Coach being a good face and ambassador for Lamar. As several of you have said, a soild, winning program would take care of funding and recruitment. So to me, the solution has to point squarely at Woodard and the Athletic Director (Henderson?) You cant make chicken salad out of chicken droppings, so Lamar needs to find better chickens. They need to schedule better opponents and continue to recruit better athletes, win more games and build from there. Lamar is not much better today than when they restarted the program several years ago. I'm still rooting for them, but I'm not betting that things will improve until changes are made from the top down. Good discussion y'all!

It can't happen just because it can't happen as if there is some artificial barrier that prevents it no matter what.  The problem is we do not have the right people on deck doing the right things!!!  I am utterly convinced that with the right plan, the RIGHT PEOPLE executing the plan, and the proper funding, then Lamar Football/Basketball/Baseball et al would be highly successful and could move up the conference ladder!!!  Get the first 2 of my formula right and the third will take care of itself.  Donors, season ticket holders and game attendance will increase significantly. 

I just finished reading "Art Briles -Looking Up" by Nick Eatman. Fabulous book! I became an Art Briles fan as he won his 4th State 4A Championship against my PNG Indians in 1999. That was the best coached, best disciplined high school team I had ever seen. I was a fan as he went to Tech, UH then Baylor. It was neat to revisit these memories and learn about Coach Briles.This book is a must-read if you are into Texas football. The paperback copy is about $15.

Second week in a row I'm stuck at work and jonesing for a Depot burger. Y'all have a great show. I'll catch you again!

I was glad to see this too. Bama needed the help in the secondary. Go Tony! Roll Tide!

Everybody plays Lumberton for Homecoming! I'll bet the Raiders see more big mum corsages than anyone.

Football is a rough and violent sport. Its hard to find men that can turn it on when playing and turn it off when not on the field; although that is what is required to participate in a civilized society. Look at it this way... If you did the same actions Jamies Winston has, what would your employer do?

Maybe our government should arm American rebels in Texas and Arizona to fight ISIS! Oh wait... they want to arm Muslims in Syria and DISARM AMERICANS!

Kliff needs to recruit a DC. The fired one had a drug problem. His defense was getting "drug" all over the field (What little defense he had!)
