Final: 30-12 StAte . ..

Closer than I thought it would be. I figured ARKST would come out with their hair on fire.

I'm beginning to think we may never play with intensity again.

Yeah, 18 point win over TXST . Time to hit the panic button . . .

The wind kept it a TD closer than it would have been.

That was not a slam against you guys. I'm just trying to find that same team that beat ooo-la-la at our place this year.

And I'm taking it all back. In the post game presser Anderson mentions one of the players grandmother was killed and his mom is in ICU when they were on the way to the game. Wow. Details when we get them. But he said the whole team was shaken.

Sorry to hear that . . . hope that the young man's mother recovers.

This was all from my wife who saw it on a Facebook live stream of the postgame presser. I was in another room. I hope I/she got the details correct. I'm not seeing it online anywhere yet.

From twitter I think the young man is Cameron Davis. What a tragedy.

The wind was brutal today. Steady 20-30mph with 50-60mph gusts. My mother was hit in the back of the head by a stray cardboard box flying through the stands.

I sat through the TMo Motivational game when we were playing a winless Georgia State, it was 10 degrees outside, there were 15 people in the stands, and it took Mohajir basically giving a motivational speech at halftime to spare us a disaster of a loss.

This was worse. The wind was nuts. Consistently 20-30 MPH was gusts as high as 60. The temperature dropped 25 degrees from kickoff to the end of the game, and you couldn't get away with more than a few minutes before the wind would kick up some debris and blow it in your face.

Completely changed game planning as well. You could tell the plan was, hold the ball as long as possible, and don't throw or kick voluntarily against the wind. We went for it on 4th down twice in the Red Zone when we normally would have kicked a field goal. Playcalling was heavy run, even when run clearly wasn't working. It was just a difficult game to watch. We won because in the end, the Bobcats just didn't have the horses to compete, and they sort of gave us 14 free points.

Oh well, on to ULM. Definition of a trap game with a road game at a good team with Troy waiting on the horizon.
