Trap Game

[mgfan]

I hope the players are more focused on the next team,  unlike this board.  I love "Peter Pan", but I would love 4-0 more while hopefully getting more top 25 votes. 

I've read people write about  bowls games, undeafted season, playoffs, heisman finalist?! Are you kidding me?! That is great,  but a long way off.  Y'all remember UTSA last year after beating Baylor? I don't want this to be our best highlight. Next opponent up. 1 at a time. 

GO MEAN GREEN! 

BEAT LIBERTY!

I hear 'ya! I am keeping a positive, analytical mindset and hope for a hot start and dominating game. But there is a little voice that keeps whispering bad stuff...like all the stuff that would be undone with a loss this week. Like the smirks and snide remarks that would come our way.  Even the Shiner doesn't seem to help...but I think I'll take an extra dose of it tonight.

They sound pretty focused to me.

But.... 11-0 😢

I’m concerned about this game as well. I think this will be the most difficult yet this season. 

[TheColonyEagle]

It’s a catch 22. I’m so excited for the players that they’re getting the media attention and all the interviews.....

But I’m ready for them to stop. 

I’ll say this....if (IF) we come out and dominate Liberty....wow I will be impressed with this staff and this team. 

Everything about this game screams let down. We didn’t have a let down after SMU because UIW was just overmatched talent wise. Liberty will not be. Add to that all the attention

Color me nervous....

 

[southsideguy]

for us it is win all games. Because if we lose one or two we will be screwed in the bowl selection again.

I agree with taking things slowly but I'm tired of being compared to last year's UTSA. Last year, UTSA had their first game against a real opponent canceled (Houston), beat a bad Baylor squad with a new head coach after a huge amount of controversy 17-10, and had nothing resembling our offense. They barely knew who their QB was. Their only defensive presence was Davenport. We have a complete team and our team has been in the process of building the past 2 seasons. UTSA had none of that.

This message board has never lost a single game

[emmitt01]

I can see the post-game press conference now...

”Coach Littrell, what do you think went wrong?”

”All week long in practice I just couldn’t get the fans to focus on this game.  That stuff will get you beat”

[NT91]

I want to see how many people show for the Tech game the next week when NT

wins this week.

stay focused all the other junk is just that.

Ok that’s funny

Just because we are still excited about beating an SEC on their turf, doesnt mean that the team is not focused on beating Liberty. 

The coaching staff has done a great job getting our guys prepared up to this point.  I expect that to continue.

I believe that too, but my only question is how they push the reset button when they are still doing interviews about the last game. This is new territory for most of the team. 

[NM Green]

This is new territory for a lot of us!

Beat Liberty!

I've been watching the weather over there in the past week. We should be prepared to play on a wet field with a wet ball. Worse conditions than we had for UIW are likely.

Just imagine, in your glorious Mean Green dreams, that we did go undefeated...then think about the idiots at UTSA who absolutely hate us or the smug ass SMU fans who look down on us at every chance. That thought just makes me smile!!

But are the conditions worst than when we went to West Point 2 years ago and beat a strong Army squad effectively running a triple option in the cold rain with a wet ball with a true freshman QB and a much weaker squad in SL's first year?

At this point, there is nothing we'll face that the core members of this team haven't faced together. Any loses moving forward are due to a few miscues or the ball bouncing for the other team. This staff has done nothing but prepare the players for each and every game with a strong game plan and laser focus. 

Let's enjoy the ride this year and if/when we lose a game, still support out guys like we won. It'll be a special year no matter what. 

[meangreenthirteen]

I think we'll beat the brakes off of them. This team is getting addicted to winning and you can tell.

Agreed, both statements.

[stUNTman_2four]

All indications point to a trap game....travel across the country, a week removed from the most national exposure the program has had in forever, possible rain during the game, Huge match up w/ the BullPups coming to town next week. Even w/ all that noise I still think these guys get the job done. Maybe a little sluggish at first, then they pull their best Cole Trickle and "Drop the Hammer"

I think this is just a new feeling for everyone who has been a fan of this team.  This media talk about Heisman, sleeping giants and undefeated seasons are foreign and premature in my opinion.   We haven't played anyone that good yet.  When and if we get to 7-0 I'll feel better about this talk and this team.  Mainly I dont want this media coverage to go to the team's head.

This thread is not what I thought it would be about.
