  1. Great experience, from arriving in NOLA on Wednesday, to leaving Monday night. All Tulane fans were cool, except a few frat boys who talked smack outside the bars (I was thinking of the guy who told me they were going to beat us...as Tulane was slowly coming back). Great experience & very good Bulls presence at the game, and around town.
  2. 1) The winning team: Houston (my fear, but I think we can win, if we finally play 60 minutes)2) The final score: 37-273) Bulls leading rusher: Flowers, but hopefully Tice or Johnson4) Bulls leading receiver: MVS. Flowers will have to throw his more "battle balls" to let him fight smaller corners.5) Bulls total offensive yards (closest without going over): 369 I hope I'm wrong, but I worry at some point, the sloppiness will catch up. This is the first really good team we're playing & a true test of our squad. If we win this, we should run the table, setting up a huge match v UCF.
  3. Life from the French Quarter...lots of Bulls in the area! USF 45-34 Flowers MVS 469 go Bulls!!
  4. I went to China a few weeks ago...off the grid for 10 days (left the day after the Temple game, so I only missed ECU). Now playing catch up at work, before heading to NOLA for the Tulane game on Wednesday. GO BULLS!
  5. Appreciate the passion...keep it up. Energizing our crowd will only serve to energize the team.
  6. I stand & yell during EVERY foe 3rd down, but except for last night, I'm usually in the minority. The folks behind me rarely stand up, so I step into the aisle to not block their view. I've been to a LOT of games...we're the most docile I've ever seen, bar none (ok...UConn is softer, like they're at a picnic). I do have ONE pet peeve...people who walk past (or stop in front) of me AS THEY ARE READY TO SNAP. Be considerate & move between plays, if not between drives. And don't STOP and block our views. The odd thing of the wizard knock off is I saw a woman doing it, and it reminded me of the wizardry my old girlfriend used to use on me when she wanted to get her way (one hand tickling my Elmos, the other playing with my hair). So, it felt a little awkward, frankly.
  7. Dude, you were at the game at didn't hit me up? I met a few of the Auman blog buds there at the half. Glad you had fun...and certainly happy your daughter had fun. That's the buzz we want.
  8. in our section, 111? Yeah, I thought it was a Bearcat, till I looked closer...a rat.
  9. I hope Mr. Bond is correct, but the Bearcats always make me nervous. I'll be there, and hope our fans will finally show up & get LOUD. The players & coaches deserve the support...now is the time. We have the longest win streak, and the nation can't help but watch & notice. Time to ball out, boys!
  10. We're at Place d'Armes, on Ann St, but it's sold out. Should still be a few places open, but it's going to be crowded.
  11. 1) The winning team: USF. Thursday nights & Temple have not been good to us, but we need to keep improving & smoke these chumps.2) The final score: 33-243) Bulls leading rusher: Tice4) Bulls leading receiver: Antoine5) Bulls total offensive yards (closest without going over): 409
  12. Running seems easier, I guess. But, who knows? MVS has been over 90 twice. If he stays healthy, he may break Rodney Adams' yardage record. And Antoine is making a VERY strong case not to play Barr much anymore (not he's a better blocker, too).
  13. Both WR's dropped passes late that would have gotten them over 100. Strong isn't about padding stats, but these guys got chances (that said, it did seem like he wanted Tice to get 100, so that was cool).
  14. most of that was 3 big plays, including 1 76 yarder in garbage time. I'll take it. Tackling & secondary coverage is MUCH better. But we will play MUCH better teams, soon.
  15. Nothing against Barr, but I don't see how he sees the field again the way Antoine is playing.
  16. 1) The winning team, Illinois (I'm certainly hoping USF wins, but worry about close we're played 2 terrible teams; Illinois hasn't the distractions we've suffered, are 2-0, and our Friday nights haven't been great. That said, if Strong lets Q cook, we should win by a few TDs).2) The final score, 34-313) Bulls leading rusher, Tice4) Bulls leading receiver, Salomon5) Bulls total offensive yards (closest without going over), 369 Some of this is contrarian, hoping I'm dead wrong, but win the prize. I'm just worried about the lay off, our O in flux & the first big test v a strong offense.
  17. 1) The winning team: USF (but I'm nervous given the past 2 games)2) The final score: 27-243) Bulls leading rusher: Tice4) Bulls leading receiver: Salomon5) Bulls total offensive yards (closest without going over): 369 Lots of pessimism this week, earned. I was encouraged by a Joey Knight Tweet saying OC Gilbert said we haven't seen the full offense yet, but will. Not sure if that's reacting to the torches & pitchforks, or legit. We'll see. With a 10:30 start, these guys better be sure to load up on coffee, as they can't sleep again.
  18. That's the first time I've even seen a 15 yard penalty called on a coach (the equivalent of a tech foul in MBB). Later in the game, the VT coach got one. Weird. What's worse about Holgorsen is that he was dead wrong on his rant...his guy hit the ball carrier a good 2-3 yards out of bounds. If you're going to meltdown, have a legit position.
  19. Agree. That was a great game. Both are going to well this year. Grier lit it up.
  20. We'll be passed by the winner of WVU-VT, and maybe Tennessee if they beat GTech tomorrow. Not sure who else impressed enough to jump.
  21. In UConn, bad. But, weather should be fine (assuming Hurricane Irma doesn't impact), and this team should come out MAD. I'm hoping Charlie learns what Taggart eventually did...play to your skills set. Don't try to jam this team into a form it won't fit.
  22. My quick review shows this as the winner...assumed 17 point margin, and it was 14. Only missed total points by 11. Sadly, his pessimism, without being wild enough to pick Stony, paid off. Any one to confirm?
