Saw where McNeese beat Tulane by 19. I guess they are still the team to beat.

They're probably still really good. I didn't see their transfers but I'm sure they still have at least some of players coming back. But these scrimmages should not be taken as any indicator of how a team will do. Really nothing until the end of December should be taken as an indicator of that.

Remember, Underwood team kind of sucked some years until we got to conference play, then we magically turned it on.

They return 4 players from last season (2 starters) and reload on transfers.

It's amazing how that coach gets so many nationally ranked players to come play in the SLC.

To anyone planning to attend the exhibition, can you give us occasional game updates, observations, and scores here? Let us know who you think our better players and/or leaders appear to be. This team is a real mystery to me.

---

I'm about 50/50. Lots of commitments on Saturday. If I make it, fo sho with the updates.

If you decide to go, I believe you'll have to buy tickets in advance. Someone said there will be no ticket sales at the door, for some reason.

Already blew the $22. I figure if I don't go, it's not a huge loss.
