1. Yes, leave Fayetteville healthy.

2. I think we cover +26.

3. J'Mar hasnt had a pick or a fumble in fall camp. He is smart, athletic and talented, but not a good place to break-in.

4. Should be full strength by game 4. (At least four key starters out or questionable for this game).

Not having turnovers is pretty big. I think he also had no interceptions his Senior year of high school. He sounds like he is working real hard for this.

I just can't wait for football season to start!

If this team sets NCAA scoring records like that team did I will have a cardiac episode. The difference is that we expected that 2012 team to be one of the best offenses in Tech history. We are hoping this year's offense can score. Hopefully this is more like the 2011 team that should have beat Moo State, USM, Houston, and TCU if Sonny Dykes believed in running out the clock.

That Tech team was absolutely infuriating to watch the first five weeks. We Coog'd 4 of our first 5 games, including blowing a 34-7 lead against Houston. Then they rattled off seven straight to win the WAC before Cooging it against TCU in the bowl game. That was also the year of the 19 minute replay review that opened up the Hawaii game when they were granted a fifth down that they scored on IIRC.

Stink is good people. We had a lot of fun, when he came up for the game in Ruston. Wish it had turned into a better game,but we still had fun.

Stink reminds me of D65 on our board :D
