There are some very strong winds in College Station this morning...seem to be Tropical Storm strength.

I have to say, our new offense makes me nervous.  The new OC is throwing in more running plays, which should make some players happy, and may limit Juan's passing attempts.  In my opinion, JJ should throw it every play, but I am confident the new OC's the right man for the job. 

Losing Barmore is huge for the Majors' chances in San Antonio, but you can't look past the 15+ years of what they've done in the conference (especially at home). 

Not just because I'm a Millsaps homer, but I think Millsaps deserves to be the preseason favorite.  They've had one of the best turnarounds in the past two years... going from 16 wins in 8 years to 15 in 2 years under DuBose... and are a threat now in the conference (12-1 past two years).  I think it's ok for TU to be voted second this year preseason, both teams have key losses.  We all know how the conference will be decided... it goes through SA, Texas every year.  I hope it lives up to the hype of last year... with a different ending of course

A balanced attack sounds pretty smart to me.  The casual fan wants to see the ball aired out, lots of points scored.  But, I prefer a nice mix.  O-lines like to attack from time to time.  And, I'm an old o-lineman.

I agree, balanced attacks provide the best opportunities for offenses to put points on the board.  However, I'm [very] old school that enjoys 3 yards and a cloud of dust offenses complemented with a strong defense...beans and cornbread football.

Yucca, you ought to try carrots, beets, turnips and potatoes,,,  they're tastier and much easier to find at Kroger.

I like carrots, beets, turnips, and potatoes; however, yucca root is the best natural anti-inflammatory...better than glucosamine and chondroitin.   Yucca root is to ligaments and tendons what aloe vera  is to burned skin.

Yucca's computer doesn't like him.  I won't say anything about the flashing clock on the VCR. 

I'm only a couple of generations behind Fred Flintstone...catching up!

Nothing like knowing how high you have to jump.  Danke schoen

Can you help yucca?  He's "one of ours".

I can type my first and last name in the required fields...and select Trinity (Texas); however, when I hit the submit button, it goes to a blank screen.

I can't register for the Kickoff 2008...anyone else having any problems?

Ralph,

Are you attending the McMurry v. Trinity game on September 6?  My next door neighbor is a McMurry grad and continues to support the school.
