CG,

If there is no mudbath, MC needs to be prepared to get run all over.  The HSU RBs are pretty quick and pack a load.

As for the MHB/LC game, I had lunch with some HSU fans.  On of them (the representation of word fanatic) recommended that they replay the game early on October 22 and move the HSU game back a few hours. 

The reply from the other, MHB would just play the JV and still win soundly!

Sounds like the fanatic HSU fan wants UMHB to come into the game a little tired. Sounds like the fanatic fan thinks UMHB might be to much for HSU. Sounds like a great fan.

mhb8904,

I'm not so sure I am going to be able to agree with you on the LC/UMHB post you had about your JV beating our varsity. I know ya'll have a solid team, one of the best in the nation, but I don't think that ya'lls (3rd and 4th)JV?? teams is better than our first.  However, I wish ya'll the best the remainder of the season, and I look forward to keeping up with ya'll from up north.

Here is an article that was printed in The Town Talk this morning:

I didn't say that.  I was a the table when it was said.  I was merely reporting the incident because I thought the conversation was funny.  I try real hard not to say stuff that might fuel a fire on game day.  Gotta show everyone respect.

mhb8904,

I realized that it was someone a the table after I had already posted.  But it was too loate.  Sometimes I jump the gun.  Either way, I had no hard feelings.  Good luck next week agaisnt MC.  Coach Joseph is one of the best coaches I have ever been around.  He is going to get that program over there up and running before too long.

Hats off to the Choctaws.  Sounds like they played a very good game.  What a defensive battle!

Congratulations on a big win Cowboys!  Keep it going.

I have been away from the computer for a couple of days and will not be back home until Wednesday.  New grandsons are so much fun!

Ralph:

So are "old" grandsons ... most of the time.

[Gray Fox]

I too, remember the Shonkas.   I also got the Don Hansen stuff. Those were the only games in town.

Finally,  Pat came along and gave us some quality and good analysis.

Can anyone share their thoughts on HSU-MC?  14-0 is really surprising.  Was it do to the weather?

[Josh Bowerman]

Bill--

Other than the brief release available here and at the HSU site (I haven't checked the MC site yet), it looks like 3 of HSU's four turnovers came very deep in MC territory, i.e. inside the 25 yard line.  The "yellow zone" for lack of a better term.     I guess it was pretty windy and rainy due to Hurricaine Rita.

Looks like MC did move the ball on occaision.  HSU's defense bent a bit but didn't break.  I'd love to hear from someone that was at the game, though.
