wow, I was on the money. 36 pt spread. Only I had predicted 42-6.
Since your so on your predictions how about predicting a Sunday afternoon news conference announcing Gus has been made head coach the remainder of this season and next.
Looks like a lot of you drank the Koolaid
Aw man…I knew that was coming this morning, Koolaid.
I'm ready to take the job when you SSP's get tired of losing games with HDN at the helm.
I was half right…. I said both offenses would struggle…. I guess only ours really struggled.
Here are a few of my pics. Notice there's not many of the game as I got fed up with it about 2 minutes in on Felix first fumble. All week everyone talks about how for us to win we have to limit the turnovers and he forgets the "3 points of pressure" on the fourth play of the game… amazing!

Boys, the conflicts are brewing now. Mitch goes in and does a fine job for his first college action and his head coach barely gives him a "hello" when he comes off the field and his quarterback peers don't even acknowledge him. That is TEAM right there.
Also it has been reported by fans that when Mitch hit Damien on the long pass play that HDN and D. Nutt went wild and out on the field trying to call the next play. Gus went and stepped in front of them and sent them back to the sidelines. The next play Mitch scores and Gus pumps his fist in the air towards HDN. HDN heads toward the other end of the sideline and says NOTHING to GUS.
The fuse on the bomb has been lit but unfortunately we don't know the length of the fuse. How long until the explosion?????????
I just wanted to say, I'm rooting for the Hogs and M2 to be kick arse the rest of the season
and this is a great site
Koolaid…Thanks!
HankHog…I think you're on to something there.
OK, HankHog… I'm calling you out on this one. I watched the replay on ESPN after Mitch ran in for his TD and when he comes off the field several players are congratulating him. Rhett Lashlee congratulates him and then the Right Reverend Nutt grabs him and looks him in the eye and says "Good job Mitch"… it's plain as day. As far as his peers not congratulating him Mike Irwin reported that Mustain was quoted as saying Johnson told him good job when he got back on the sideline. Was he overly excited??? I doubt it, but to say that his QB peers didn't acknowledge him I find that hard to believe.
Now, do I think there's a rift? I'm not sure yet, but I agree there are suttle signs of it. But, I think you're making too much out of nothing.
