Is anyone knowledgeable of any tailgating or fan get together for the SFA @ McNeese game. I'm probably going to go. Bring my tent etc.

SFA opponent ACU is in OT 45-45 in Lubbock against Texas Tech in their opening game.

Edit: they lost after scoring stage touchdown but didn't get the 2 point conversion. They didn't have to go for it, but on the road tried to end it. 52-51 TTU.

Game gave me the exact same vibes when we played them in 2021. Texas Tech lately has really been overlooking their FCS foes it feels like. No doubt their coach is on the hot seat after a disappointing last season(blowout loss to Texas) and nearly dropping one to ACU.

I remember after we nearly beat them there were rumors on x(twitter) that Carthel was being looked at as a possible candidate there. That was of course after the really competitive 2020 basically FBS schedule and really solid 2021 season. We have to hope if we have a breakout year this season Tech doesn't take notice. I don't think Carthel would want to leave SFA, but going back to West Texas where he has all his ties would be hard to resist.

Tech was a 31.5 point favorite

o/u 57.5

This could indeed be a more interesting season then last year in the WAC.... Lamar has apparently improved and almost knocked off Texas State last.night.

Watched some of that game. Lamar's LB's and DB's are for real.

Guys, this is coming from an old Lumberjack who hopes he's dead wrong, but I cannot see our team doing better than 7-5 this year, heaven forbid 6-6. I just lack confidence in coaching staff, plus question mark at QB and totally retooled offensive line. That said, SFA could also go 9-2 with some breaks.

Please someone tell me how stupid I am...just don't insult my wife and kids...or my dogs.

I'm not going to tell you that you're stupid, but I don't think anyone really knows what this team is or isn't. First game is what it is. I like that they played an extremely clean game, but I didn't learn a thing.

Honestly, I kinda like being in the dark about this team. The past two years got a little over-hyped, so maybe in the dark will be great!

No way to say yet 65. There has been no overhype as Buckets mentioned. Last years 3-8 failure really shutdown interest on this board and in the general SFA population. I'm sure there are a few on here and around Nac waiting to start in on Carthel if/when the losses start coming.

I think we have a really good corps of running backs. Picked up several D1 transfers--doesn't mean instant success but some of them will do a great job. Wide receivers somewhat a question mark but I imagine 2 or 3 will become go to guys.

Biggest question will be the O Line, Lack of experience for many, and to be successful, they need to gel quickly.
If the O line suffers a lot of injuries or fails in other ways then there will be no path to success.
Then the overall ability of our Defense. Must cut down the run of big plays that hurt us last year. Must have some stamina for the whole 60 minutes if our offense is going to be playing fast all game long.

We didn't learn anything about the team yet. UNT will be the real beginning of discovery.
If you expect to go to Denton and get a win--you will likely be disappointed.
If you expect the scoring explosion we saw last week every game--you will be disappointed.
UIW, Lamar and Nicholls will be very tough in the SLC. If anyone expects to win every game because we dropped from WAC back to SLC--then they are very unrealistic in their expectations.

I called 8-4 a month or two ago and I'll stand by it. We shall see.

I may have predicted we'd win every game handily. 17-0 I think I said.

So far so good.

I like the cut of your jib son.

Lots of speed at WR

I'll have you know that puppy mill had the highest Yelp ratings of any puppy mill I researched...so what if my Border Collie has a third eye...
