FB: American Southwest Conference

I like you Kelly Boggs, if I could give you karma I would!  Your posts are always fair in every regard.  It is a shame LC couldn't have pulled out those two OOC games.  This game could have been for a playoff spot to the winner.  Best of luck to your Wildcats (minus any time their suiting up against my tigers  )

[Kelly Boggs]

Well thank you TxFight. Ditto. +k

Also, a big thank you to all our veterans for protecting our freedoms.

Revised weather forecast for HSU vs LC. High temp expected to be 70 with a 60% chance of rain. You Cowboy fans may want to pack an umbrella.

Update on Friday morning: Local weather is now calling for a 30% chance of rain. Who knows? HSU folks, I would still bring an umbrella or rain suit.

Safe travels to the HSU faithful.

Mississippi College is 4 and 5 and McMurry is 5 and 4 going into this weeks contest at Clinton, Ms.  Both teams like to throw the ball.  Advantage here should go to MC as McM will be using their 3rd team QB.  However, that statement must be tempered somewhat by the performance of the QB in the game with LC.  He did a quite creditable job with the amout of reps he had, or in this case did not have.  Guthry's practice time this week should narrow the odds somewhat.  Running games are, more or less, equal.  Comes down to defense and that great unknown factor called desire.  MC wants to win at home and be 5 and 5.  McM wants to close out the year at 6 and 4.  Temperture at game time is projected at 74 with a light rain.  Should be interesting.  May the best team win.  Hope they are wearing maroon and white.

Sioux,

How is the JV at McMurry treated? I can perhaps serve as a point of reference since my son plays on the LC JV. 

[Kelly Boggs]

LC's JV played 7 games this season. Nine were scheduled - 2 were canceled by the opposing team (same team twice).

With 150 players out for football, not everyone could dress for home games. I think about 90 would dress for home games, so there was a dress list for home games.

I am not sure how the coaches determined what non-varsity players would dress for home games. I can only assume it was based on performance and effort in practice the week of the game.

One example is just this week, they were told last week they were all going to go on the road trip this week to Miss., since they only played 2 GAMES this year. Then Wednesday they show up for practice and are told they are not practicing and not going on trip. My son totally understood that as a freshman you are starting on the bottom rung and you work your butt off to move up. He did not go to McM to only have 2 games to play in.

I know a great University across the train tracks that would love to have him!!!!  Not a guarantee of playing time but a guarantee of more than 2 games!!!

[Kelly Boggs]

Heading to HSU vs LC.  Hoping it's a shootout and the Cats are still standing when the smoke clears.

Geaux Wildcats!

Kelly-my grandson played a couple games for mcm jv's only because he's playing ss behind Will, although he can play corner or linebacker, but because he wasn't getting a lot of game time behind Will they wanted him in some jv games to get more experience and not get rusty. Its funny that they won't play him somewhere else, but the coaches said they didn't want him getting hurt because thats why they drafted him to play when Will is gone. I thought it was kind of thoughtful on their behalf, rather than let him sit the pines until he starts.

Bytndall,

What round was your grandson drafted? Perhaps recruited is the correct term.

Great HSU vs LC game.

Nice job LC. Great season cowboys!

[Kelly Boggs]

HSU vs LC - wow, what a game! It is a shame either team had to lose. The Wildcat Dalmation D plyed tough in spots, the offense did what it has done all season and scored a bunch and the oblong ball did just enough and the Cats win!
