Just wear green and gold for UAB game, orange and blue for UTEP, blue and white for Rice, and red and silver for WKU.
I love the sponsor is still TBD.
No idea what we are having.
Man, I've got nothing against their fans or players per se, but that UAB administration sooooo does not deserve Bill Clark.
Well there are still 3 days before we will announce anything, so plenty of time to line up a sponsor.
Their coach is either blowing smoke up our skirts (a kilt for me, thanks), or is the biggest dumb chit in coaching history:
On trying to stop Louisiana Tech's quarterback J'Mar Smith:
"Like a lot of the other quarterbacks, he is good with both the run and the pass. He can throw the ball extremely well and he can also run. Our pass lanes have to be filled by our defensive line and we have to have integrity to cover our man the whole time, knowing that eventually our line will get there. We have to be prepared up front and on the back end."
He is good with the run? J'Mar Smith? Does that UAB coach actually watch video of opposing teams?
We were doing well last year penalty-wise too until the UAB game, when we got hit with 10 penalties for 95 yards (and that excludes the ones UAB refused). After each of our big plays the Tech fans were yelling "What is the friggin' flag for this time?" over and over. It was utterly ridiculous how much the CUSA refs influenced that game in UAB's favor. If we can I want to run the score up on them Saturday!!!!
It's interesting to read what outsiders think about J'Mar. Completely different from the echo chamber.
Have you considered those Dogs?
The guy is clueless. He has seen nothing to prove our QB can run. Have you? What have you seen to prove he can throw the ball extremely well?
He is serviceable, but far from good.
He was bailed out by his receivers on two plays last weekend, but at lsu JMar worshipers blamed receivers for the missed passes.
I've thought he is better than you and others suggest. If you think I'm a J'Mar worshiper, either you don't read well or are convoluted by your own presuppositions. I think he is a hesitant but decent runner. I also believe he has become much more poised in the pocket and makes decent throws the majority of time. There are people outside of the program who believe he is more than capable. You seem to try to find evidence to support your conclusions beyond normal objectivity. I'm actually surprised you call him "serviceable" in light of the vitriol you often spew towards him. I think you aren't balanced in your critic.
Have you considered those Dogs?
I hope UAB thinks Smith is a running threat. Maybe they'll waste a spy on him and they'll end up defending with 10. I just find it impossible to believe anyone can be that stupid.
Yes, I'm "balanced" in my critic. I sat back and watched last year and gave him the benefit of the doubt even though he did not make the easy passes he sometimes made good passes. Up until the lsu game I blamed his lack of running on his HC. I didn't say much at all until the UNT game this year. I hope he proves me wrong, but he has plenty of experience now. It's time for him to step up. Throwing for 50% and taking sacks is not a what a good QB does.
Interesting you bring up LSU. Most of the people who follow them closely would assert that Smith is the most poised of all the qbs they've faced this year.
He's not looking to run, you're right. I think he wants to extend time to try and throw it. He has definitely gotten more comfortable in the pocket. Qbs who look to run every time things start to break down usually don't become better by doing that. I imagine J'Mar has been told that by someone who knows more about football than either of us.
I hope J'mar will have an epiphany and learn to throw as the runner breaks rather than wait until they're open. If he learns that one thing our passing attack is going to be very potent. And I bet his passing average goes up a lot.
