These guys were talking trash all week and all I said was "don't be surprised." They were surprised, but never congratulatory after the game. We beat them pretty well that year. It seems like they made the score closer late in the game with a couple late and meaningless TDs. I will take great, and relatively quiet, pleasure if we beat them this year. I think the game is in October, so barring injuries both teams should be well seasoned. State is a good team the last couple years.
