[axg8750]

Guys it's bowling season and we are still practicing! We all have a kick-_____ weekend in new orleans planned next weekend! It doesn't get much better than this!

lol Rrrrriiiiight.

Punting- exceptional- doubt we need it much in this game.

Oline- ......... otherwise-good luck with that.

D-lol your in for a thrill and potentially lots of sacks.

BTW I know Charlieks comments are BS as I have a relative on the UofA staff.

Any questions?

Yes, I have a question:
a) Why the snide comments?
b) Who the hell is UofA?
c) If you have a relative on a staff that knows us, and you can't sense sarcasm, and you KNOW his comments are BS......then your first post is BS b/c you do have intel.

OK... an honest report...

QB -- not flashy but very efficient..

Running game-- nice RB, but run blocking has been questionable

TE-- better than yours. trust me on this one. Green will be a first or second round pick in this year's draft

WR --a strength.. Lawson and Surgent are studs

DL--- erratic, but has been very good at times

LB --- lots of speed at this position, but undersized

DB --- 7 pick 6's this year, second in the nation and most by any team in the country since 1971. Bentley will be drafted this year, White is a true corner at 6'3" and the safeties are both ball hawks.

K --- Baer is a stud on FG and XP, and is 7-9 on his career in onsides kicks.

P-- Baer does this too, and is very good at pinning teams deep

KR/PR --- Surgent usually handles this... smooth and competent, but not spectacular.

Thanks- pretty much what I had heard.

UofA University of Arizona- Pito. Want to go Spanish- deal Joven.

Sorry if my comments were construed as snide-not my intent.

Great ideas need to be countered, not matched. Sometimes not even at the same time.

[CajunFan3406]

Wow as great an example of pretentious douschebaggery as I've read in a while.

How's this for "douschebaggery"? The proper spelling is douchebaggery.

[Turbine]

Just remember this and SDSU will do fine.

UL was picked 120th in a preseason poll.

[CajunFan3406]

Do you really have to be an a** about the name. The New Orleans Bowl website says the Givers.

Well then the site is wrong

[VObserver]

You are welcome.. and don't assume that your guy will gain 200 rushing.. or that your pass rush will cause major problems.

[CharlieK]

lol Rrrrriiiiight.

K- On O we run the ball-traditional no frills. Sometime 2 TE (3 of the BEST TE's in the country any school). Ronnie Hillman (was the #1 D-1A RB most of the year) will take the rock or split out for a pass- both effective. His backups are solid as well and we have a very strong FB for short yardage.

WR's a weakness- our top 3 got hurt (one academic casulty but will be back next year) so we are working with converted DB's for the most part. Never know- sometime hot most of the time cold.

Punting- exceptional- doubt we need it much in this game. Kicking exceptional excluding FGs. Out guy chokes often in clutch situations (cost us Wyoming game with his 3 miss's).

Oline- good luck they are solid- Michigan handled them with an All American NG otherwise-good luck with that.

D-lol your in for a thrill and potentially lots of sacks.

Overall this is a well coached team that often gets lost in the 1st half only to wake up in the 2nd 1/2 and crush people.

BTW I know Charlieks comments are BS as I have a relative on the UofA staff.

Any questions?

You guys look really strong and it would be by far the best win of our season to beat you. You are the second best team we will play this year in my opinion.

QB: Good runner and effecient passer. Tough as nails.

RB: Freshman bruiser who can get yards after contact. He needs to cause he doesn't get many holes.

WR/TE: A strength. We have a couple of guys who can stretch the field and an possesion guy who catches everything thrown near him. Probably the most improved aspect of our team this year compared to years past. Our tight end is the real deal and a fade/jump ball to him in the endzone is money.

O-Line: Decent pass blocking, mixed bag run blocking. Will need to play well for us to have a chance.

DLine: Improved over years past. Will also need to play game of the year to beat ya'll.

Linebackers: Hurt by injuries this year, play hard and are quick, but undersized.

Secondary: Another strength, ball hawking and have a had a shxx pile of pick sixes. A

FG Kicker: Strength he is accurate and clutch.

Punter: Same dude. Not a boomer but has a nack for pinning ya deep.

We will have to avoid mistakes and turnovers, especially early when we will probably be overly amped. Ya'll appear to start slow so we will need to take advantage of that. We have been much better conditioned in the second half than in years past so hopefully that will pay off.

Again, it would be a great win for us to beat ya'll. I see ya'll being where we will be in a couple of years talent wise. I have a lot of faith in our coaches to be able to put the best game plan in place to give us a shot.

Homer prediction: 31-28 on a last second Baer field goal. Cajuns win!
