Your Monday morning recap: If you missed the board over the weekend like I always do, here’s the key items for your enjoyment: -No matter how bad it gets, we can still mock Utah State for…winning? (and producing more offense than we have in the last two years with the exception of Navy and SMU and more points than any game except for Navy): http://www.gomeangreen.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=42952 -The Ticket Office needs to open on Saturdays so the 8 potential ticket sales that might cover the salary and energy expenses will be covered: http://www.gomeangreen.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=42944 -Hey – LolStangs is back! The obsession continues…(if you’re say, a fan of Dodge): http://www.gomeangreen.com/forums/index.ph...42900&st=15 -Scouting Rice – the homer in us can say that we can score points on them, but the three years of gross incompetence says that they will light us up through the air since we have yet to come close to stopping a team with a strong passing game. The even bigger pessiist asks if we are suddenly 30 points better than SMU: http://www.gomeangreen.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=42956 -We’re all mostly onboard with cheap shots when they happen to players at big schools! Somewhere Ross Verba and the 90s members of Packers nation are weeping: http://www.gomeangreen.com/forums/index.ph...mp;#entry374025 What to expect this week: -A lot of why we will beat Rice talk. My heart is already saying we will, but that damn brain just won’t shut up. -It’s already started, but revised conference outlooks are probably due. Me – I say ASU is on their own plane, followed by Troy, and then the usual grab bag of teams. Perhaps Vito will blog on the subject and we can debate his reporting skills later. -Stadium talk. A few of the natives are turning and UNTFlyer has some work to do. Most of the real action will be on the private boards, but methinks many fun rumors are to come here. I also think posters who generally get along will start fighting more soon. That means I’m coming after you, Eagle1855, you little school-boy b****. -Rice look-a-like thread -SMU talk -“How will NT fare in conference” poll I also thank each and every one of you for making every spot in the first planner come true. God bless us everyone.
