Found a good one... - by Tom Hagen

Found a great blog entry from way back on 10.1 (after the FL ATL) game. From The Sporting News website. Cool mention and video of the end of the game. Thanks to Spencer Hall for the write-up.

Ouch, that sword hurts... by Tom Hagen

Nothing more needed than - oops - that sword hurts as I am falling on it.  6 points.  Wow.  How bad of a prediction was that?  No need to answer...I know how bad it was....



Anyway, some rough play by the Blue Raiders and some really bad calls by the referees towards the end of the game helped everything get out of control.



Lville1_2A bright spot today - we mey some great folks from Specialty Foods Group (the people behind everything from Nathans and Fischers hot dogs and sausages to deli meats - www.sfgtrust.com).  They were kind enough to set up us with lunch and some drinks before the game.  They have a great set-up in an old caboose right across from the stadium.  Very cool place and very nice people.  Thanks to Luther Oberhaus for the hospitality.



Onward and upward.



On the road to Pappa Johns... by Tom Hagen

Yes, it has been a few weeks since we last posted, I get that.  I know, heck, we all know, we should be better at posting.  It is probably more related to that fact that this is a short stretch of weeks where we are away and that we, as fans, are battling being "just happy" to be fans and the acknowledgement that we are not championship (S-Belt) contenders this year.  Hey, we knew this in August.  We understood that the chances were slim that we would be at a bowl in December.  But, hope is eternal.



Anway...we are on the bus to Louisville.  Thanks to the BRAA, the fine folks at Sprint wireless (my cell modem) and my compatriots at XMi Commercail Real Estate (pays for modem), we can blog to the world direct from a comfy Greyline bus somewhere in rural KY.



How do we feel this morning?  Good.  Can we win?  Yep.  UL is probably looking for a statement win during a season that they have struggled.  MT...well, we need that statement win during a season where those are the ones we must have.



So I share with you a quick pic of the Godfather, hard at work doing something...not sure what.  As well, my prediction.  Either team wins, but it will be close.  Within 6 points.  Ill write again and either fall on the sword or brag my guts out on the way home...

What a Game!- By Sonny

WOW!!! What an ending! That is why you play 60 minutes in a football game. Our guys never gave up, and as a result, we get the win. We showed a lot of heart at the end of that game by staying with it. We played
poorly for the first 50 minutes on offense, but we never lost faith. Good job guys.



Now it is time for FIU. Keep up the good work. I think the hardest of our schedule is behind us, and the rest of the way if we can keep our confidence up, and take care of business, we should be playing in December.

GO BIG BLUE!!!!
