1) It's Thanksgiving weekend, and my wife has threatened me to go and not come back. I decided I don't want to tangle with her this weekend.

2) Motivation. If the game was across the street, I might go. Then, again, maybe not.

3) I holding my enthusiasm for our new football coach and new coaching staff. I've been there with season tickets and all that good stuff for Coach Dickey. I was there last year when Tulsa beat the h__ out of us in our home opener, 54-2. I was there this fall when we got blasted by Middle Tennessee, 35-0.

I loved us beating SMU, especially since they're doing so well. I hate SMU and it was great to beat them.

So, enjoy the trip for all who are going. I'll listen on the radio...then it's time to bring in our new football coach, and a bright new future for Mean Green Football!

My brother and I will be heading for Monroe, LA from Houston on Saturday morning...should be there by kickoff at 6 pm. This is our first road trip on our new Harleys...about 7 hour trip. BTW, does anyone have a recommendation on where to stay in Monroe.....my understanding is that there are some parts of town that are pretty rough..... Thanks and hope to see ya at the game!

I think that west Monroe has the best motels, but I don't have any recommendations. Please drive (ride) carefully.

All,

Thanks for the sage advice. It lookis like the west side of Monroe makes the most sense.

BTW, just spoke to my son and he confirmed that the team will be staying at the Holiday Inn. Will be booking a room for Saturday night...pending availability.

See ya at the game!

      Depth Chart vs ECU

      12 starters on both offense and defense. That's some 3-D chess right there

      Don't get to far ahead of our self we will have to #hit6 first. I would act like this bowl is bad. if your team was better we would be in a better bowl. like I said before, I do not care which bowl, just win.

      Around the League / UNT Opponents

      as mentioned in another thread, three pretty easy wins last night (11/19) for Rice, Tulane and Charlotte. Evansville lost 80-30 to Ohio State. UNI won. not all, but the most interesting games coming up: tonight (11/20) - not a ton...Tulsa host UALR (who already blew out UTSA), but if Tulsa is any good should take care of. 11/21 - Memphis @ San Francisco ; FAU v. Oklahoma State (3 day tourney...would play Miami or Drake next) ; Oregon State host Oregon ; Houston Christian v. Rice ; ECU v. Jacksonville State (3 day tourney...would play Toledo or Stetson next) 11/22 - Utah State v. Iowa and St. Louis v. Wichita State (same venue, but not a tourney) ; McNeese v. Illinois State and UAB v. Longwood (same side of bracket) ; Temple v. Florida State ; ECU/FAU game 2 of 3 11/23 - Temple v. UMASS 11/24 - High Point v. Missouri State (3 day tourney...would play ODU or Boston College next) there will be more games 11/23 and 11/24 as some of these tournaments shake out, but definitely some interesting games starting tomorrow

      Texas Wesleyan (11/21/24)

      Texas Wesleyan is one of those athlete mill schools that take advantage of kids/parents who really want to be a college athlete. The majority of students at the school are athletes and the teams will take almost anyone to be on the roster as long as they can qualify for an overpriced college loan to afford the tuition.
