hopefully the people that go to Brewfest actually make it in the stadium!!

it feels like Wulff has them back on track through a combination of recruiting and smart use of transfers. He started in a tough spot - glad to see progress for a really good guy.

almost positive neither injury were wildcats - if memory serves, both occurred on downfield tackles.


Can’t recall ever seeing anyone injured on a wildcat. This one was a freak play.

I was just looking at the ticket page for the game, and most of the sections show 'low availability'. the west side has very limited seats. Be nice to get another full crowd with an enthusiastic student section.

MSU 34-10

i've seen a couple that opened at 11.5 and are down to 8.5. I'm guessing that's based on injury information.

that shows what I mean, especially with all the roster turnover. San Diego favorite? That seem like a guess based on last year.

Odds show us as 10.5 favorites. One of the sites has us as 75% probable winners. I take these with a grain of salt, especially early in the season

5 kickoff

I'm hoping that the Power 4 for FOOTBALL evolves into some type of super conference, and then let the other sports go back to the old regional alignments. At some point, the San Jose's of the world are going to be much closer to FCS schools than the Power 4.

will there will stands on both sides? must be if they are shooting for 22000.

what i can't figure is what's the expected life span of this? sounds like a temporary set-up -> i can't imagine the FBS will see this as a viable long term stadium. so, 170M and then a whole bunch more 5 years from now for a real stadium?

With revenue sharing starting next year, the power conferences will look even more attractive. Not sure how the teams will spread their wealth, but a $15M type payroll should have plenty of cash trickling down to the backups!

it seems like the Sagarin algorithm don't give us much respect, probably due to opponents records. San Diego + Sac > SUU + Weber + Utah Tech?

The Barber twins were pretty special. Also the Pouncey twins.

I had to google the second one

I haven't heard anything, but I haven't really asked anyone who might know!

There are a number of new faces out there, not the least at QB, WR and RB. Remember last year, we struggled with Texas A&M-Commerce (needed a late pick-6 to seal it), struggled with Southern Utah (needed a late int to seal it), and nearly lost to a weak Portland State game early on. We show flashes of true explosiveness, but haven't had that consistency to march 80 yards. I think the wind played a real big part in the slow start saturday -> allowed them to crowd the box and took away the mid range pass. Maybe this is the week where we put together a full 48 minutes of winning offensive football (and good downfield tackling!).

and there were some REALLY lopsided losses in that streak. They certainly didn't shy from the challenge last saturday!

Wulff was here for a short time as a 'volunteer assistant' after that crew got dismissed at Sac State and I heard nothing but raves about him from a couple of our coaches (Sam Young, the Obi Wan of football coaching, told me he learned a ton from Wulff during that season!). Extremely knowledge, and very likable guy. I'm not surprised that they are improving - he didn't inherent a great situation, but he seems to be bringing in quality players.

it seems like the Hornet faithful went from worrying that Marion would leave, to worrying that he will have to stay!
