Time to take out our frustrations on Garner "freakin" Webb.

[Sly Fox]

Adrian B does a nice job with his blog. I'm sure he'll be dropping by this week. Hopefully he can give us the lowdown on what we can expect arriving at Williams Stadium on Saturday.

They didn't exactly blow the doors off our fellow opponent Glenville State as they durvived four turnover including two that were returned for scores. But they did pick up an impressive road victory at SE Louisiana thanks in large part to Mario E. Brown who was named I-AA National Defensive Player of the Week for his 25 tackles in that victory.

Based on statistics, it looks like their offense has been hit & miss this year. But they have some nice skills players that can do some damage if given the opportunity. We were much more pourous defensivel last week against another subpar offense from W&M. So take that for what it is worth.

I believe we shoudl win this game. But we are in no position to be taking anyone lightly ... especially teams wqith 4-2 records that historically have done very well against us.

[jcmanson]

Yes, as disspointing as the loss was Saturday, I'll be interested to see how the guys come out and play. If they play to their potential we will win. You never know. We could have a hangover as well. I definitely think a Big South title is within our reach. It's all a matter in winning the games. Looking forward to the rest of the season.

[SuperJon]

Duvaughn Flagler is a fly young man. Check his wing span. Debi wants to be in his Top 8.

Kyle Hill thinks they'll be Big South Champs in 2006.

Mario E. Brown likes to go to the club and go drinking even though he's underage.



More to come when I have more time.

[SuperJon]

Brock Putman hates gay people, vegetarians, Eminem, the lead singer for Rascal Flatts (sorry girls), Jessie Jackson. He thinks cheerleading is not a sport. AC Slater. Girlfriend is a cheerleader named Renee. Effing a, he's hurt. Moving on.

[bigsmooth]

we have the capability to win or lose evry game the rest of the wya. i fully believe the boys willcome out and play hard and get a W.

[WinthropEagleFan]

SuperJon is taking scouting to the next level for the conference games...nobody is safe.

[SuperJon]

Mike Pavelko - girlfriend is Susan from Myrtle Beach. 24 year old sister in Arizona who's pretty good looking. Computer "geek"

[SuperJon]

Kyle Hill (57) - likes chicken/shrimp and Bud Light, scared of heights and clowns. Sister's name is Ashley, good looking, still in high school (GMTM can make those jokes). Seems like a really good kid. I somewhat feel bad for heckling him. Ok, not too bad.

[SuperJon]

Jeremy Smith (47) - Thinks he's going to the NFL. For some reason he's called Batman. Birthday is April 1st (some jokes with that).

[SuperJon]

Ricky Hernandez (19) - This kid seems like a good one. Not too much dirt on him.

[SuperJon]

Mike Vesser (28 ) - life guard at Summer Grove. He can guard a life but not Wynton Jackson. Yes, bad joke, I got nothing on him.

[4everfsu]

If your QB cannot complete passes and your FG cannot convert points, I don't care who you play you will not win. Get those two aspect of LU games straightened out and you can win, if you don't well it will be a short season.

so we're BACK to Koleague AGAIN?

hoo boy.

hope we get better results this time around

[PAmedic]

not good news about Rashad, either

man, I hope that isn't a nagging injury for the rest of the year.

[TDDance234]

Talked to some of the guys today.. doesn't look like he's going to go.

[Sly Fox]

Obviously that is a huge blow. But we have seen from Lawrence & terrell that we have guys who can run the ball. It just means we need a passing game more than ever.

[Chris Lang]

Self promo: I'll have a story on the QB rotation in the fishwrap tomorrow, along with the injury report (which was already updated on the other thread), the kicking stuff and some stuff on Gardner-Webb.

[SuperJon]

If Rashad can't go, that pretty much guarantees who will play quarterback.

[TDDance234]

I don't know about that.

Lawrence is no pushover in the backfield. He's averaging over 6 ypc. Obviously, in a much smaller sample size, but LU has thrived off little runners (outside of Gado) over the past could of years.

[LU'sbestmanager]

lawrence does get his yards. he's really quick

[Stevev]

I just looked at GW's results and they beat a fairly descent SE Louisiana team earlier in the year as well as Tennessee Tech. Nevermind the near miss vs Glenville or the blowout against Appalachian, this team has the potential to be good when they want to be. We better be ready to play with or without Rashaad in the backfield. I think that Lawrence and Terrill are capable of putting up some big numbers but the passing game will have to work for that to happen. The QB at least has to hit the open recievers no matter who they may be and that would free up Zach or Terron to do their thing.

[jcmanson]

So, what's the word on Rashad? Obviously it doesn't look as if he can go this weekend, but what is the injury and how long does it appear he will be out?
