Lately, the only thing USM needs to do to beat us is show up.
Starting USM QB Griggs suspended indefinitely (probably academics). Hello Jack Abraham, see you at the Rock in November.
USM doesn't need any luck when it comes to playing us. Yeah, QB issues will affect their overall season. Maybe they'll lose some games they otherwise wouldn't. But when we play them, none of that will matter. That guy, that QB, even if it's some Greek they pulled out of the stands, will throw for 400 yards and 5 TDs against us.
Oh man......I saw this coming from a thousand miles away......
??? did you watch Amik last year?? did you watch the SMU game?? did you see our recruits ?? #1 defensive player in JC ??
I am known for being Sunshine guy but this season I believe we have best Defense in years .. yeah -I know they are lifetime 34 wins vs 15 but feel we will be very competitive this year....
Has somebody argued that our defense would not be good? They were good last year. Our offense and special teams were bad last year when we needed them. Yes, the SMU game was great. It gave us a +.500 year when it should have given us a +.750 year.
We have a 6th year HC. We should NEVER expect to be below .500 and not bowling. We should expect to be winning a C-USA championship an playing January 1st.
Your post speaks volumes about our history vs. USM. Especially some of the recent history when we didn't show up when there was so much on the line. Even you, Mr. Sunshine, know this to be true.
First, I'm sure you know, if you read this forum, I was in Frisco for the bowl. So, no need to ask that question. I love defense! Another tidbit you should know from reading this forum over the years.
And, to the point....even with ALL YOUR SUNSHINE PUMPING, the best you offer is: "but feel we will be very competitive this year..."
Not: we're gonna kick Mustard Buzzard azz!
Not: the Dawgs will win, period!
Not even: We are the better team, and I think we've got this one.
You don't even use "think." Instead you used the fluffy "feel." It's okay...it's USM. It's been a real head scratcher why we can't seem to play a good game against dem guys. Hopefully, that'll be different this year. Yes, I used "hopefully." I don't share SUNSHINE optimism when it comes to Holtz vs. USM. Show me...first.
But, keep on pumping the Sunshine. We've kind of lost ole Champ110 over on the Techster forum. He's become more realistic after years of disappointment. No more predictions of reaching the Final Four. It's sad....
Its not USM. Its just idiotic to act like we will 100% beat anyone outside of Southern before the season starts. I think we will win, but thats just what I think. I don’t know. I have nothing from this year to back it up yet. But I am confident we will be better this year!
Speaking the truth, Amen!
But surely you wrote this prior to having your morning coffee because it is quite chippy.
Whenever I see my USM friends these days, I tell them to just go ahead and kick me in the nuts and go on with their day. And if they see my dog wandering around then they might as well kick it too.

I didn’t realize so many dominos fell that got him here. Oh well, I hope J’Mar torches them and we win going away. If Ferguson can get a hand in his face, Abraham won’t be able to see anyone to throw it to anyway.
