Pre-Snap Read - Week 3
OUCH !
Blind squirrels are known to stumble upon a nut every now and again, especially if that nut is, say, Maine’s football team. Or if the blind squirrel is Middle Tennessee State and the nut is Florida Atlantic, which houses the only Sun Belt team more impotent than Rick Stockstill’s Blue Raiders. So what to make of these wins? At face value, dates with Maine and the Owls pushed Boston College and Middle Tennessee State into the win column – that’s the biggest takeaway for both the Eagles and Blue Raiders. But beyond that point, what did these wins prove? That B.C. is not good enough to run with Miami (Fla.) but good enough to beat an F.C.S. opponent? That Stockstill’s gang can beat F.A.U. but not McNeese State? The wins prove nothing, in short, because for teams of this quality – or lack thereof – true colors won’t shine until the calendar turns to conference play, and for both B.C. and M.T.S.U., the season looks bleak indeed despite a bump up to .500.

I'd rather be at 2-1, winning games over bad teams, than at 1-2 talking about how great we looked in our losses.

RE: Pre-Snap Read - Week 3
Shouldn't this be considered post-snap at this point? We've already notched another win since this article was published. Should I start posting articles that preview the 2008 North Texas team that absolutely set the world on fire?

That's ok we are 2-1 but we beat the same two teams from last year. Do I think we are as bad as 2-10 last year, no, but I do think there is A LOT to improve on and that we won't get a fair judgment of our teamm until oct 6.
