I think it would be really cool to learn what some of the former players are doing now. We know some, but thinking about Tehran Thomas made me wonder what he ended up doing career wise. Hopefully that degree helped open some doors.

During the Dll days as i recall we lost to J street during the regular season and had them for the first round of the playoffs. I think we lost again. I guess if geographical proximity was a factor in the bracket it doesn’t get much closer than across the causeway.

Lots of respect from me for N. Iowa. I’ll never forget the respect they showed for our injured player during our game with them. The entire team took a knee.
And remember the missed field goal we kicked that was actually good?

Yep

One example. I was sitting with a former Aggie player. He had me one on side and some Eagle fans on the other. During the course of the game the ref calls, and just the regular progression of the game was a matter of heated conversation. The Eagle guy was obviously drunk or high and the vulgarities started flying and i was certain there was going to be a fist fight. We ended up moving. Then at half time, the only place to get warm was the mens room so i stood in there for a while and had to listen to the jeering directed at me until i left. It was a very uncomfortable experience. The only other time i had that feeling as a visitor was at J street. I would like to believe that we don’t treat our visitors like that.

He had several fractured ribs. Real nice young man, i had a chance to visit with him a few times at the athletics tailgate. And his grandma sat below our box seats. She flew in from Phoenix for each game. Very nice and supportive family.

Yes. I actually went to the regular season game where we got clobbered. I seriously doubt i would go back. The field is terrible to look at, really cold with no heating stations, and the fan interaction we had was not welcoming to put it mildly. This week the highs are in the 40s, lows in the 20s. Glad we have them at home.

Lots of chatter on the EW board about their defense playing well but their offense being flat the second half of the season. They're also not happy with play calling. There are comments that Barriere is sliding at the first hint of contact instead of going for it. Regardless, hopefully we saved our best for the last two games.

24-9 J street at half, but poly is just a few plays away from hanging with them.

Unfortunately our forte has never been, that i can remember, handling a mobile QB. And Barriere is the class act of mobility. But both EW and J street are looking vulnerable.

And Isiah Thomas, he was as good as i have ever seen him.

I don’t think Miles ran with the ball at all. That’s one element that HR brings, better mobility. Miles reminds me of Jake to a certain degree. I think naming Miles as the starter and giving him the helm will go a long way in giving him confidence. We just need to protect him.

Absolutely.

Yeah, but we’ve had our number one QB out and he was never the same, so we can share the pain. Add our big guys on offense going out and we’ve been playing with substitutes as well. I guess all teams are dinged up this time of the year.

We went conservative towards the end of the third. Need to keep the throttle on.

Mine was solid - i use the wave

Proud of our guys considering the elevation. Good win, we needed it.

EWU is going to be looking for blood

That is crazy!

Lets keep em scoreless, 4th quarter
