After Murray we have to go out west to play an team in the mountains. A good win it would be, but they may end up only 4-8 with the quality of play in the MWC (high). It could look like a devestating loss.

BYU will likely come in 1-3 or 2-2 with their murderers schedule. And even that game (biggest home game in the conference) doesn't really at me.

I'm in a mood. Talk me off a ledge and get me to the MAC opener vs. WMU

Im jacked up
1. Tailgate - Yoohoo and rum to start 'er off
2. It is Rocket football
3. The Glass bowl will be rocking, with at least a decent crowd.
4. Cant wait to hear the fight song rolling. Heard the Whitmer band yesterday and it got me excited.
5. Tailgate - Mingling with other people who love the Rockets.
6. Tailgate - Beer and food

Just like your gas bill has a baseline payment even if you dont use any....i have a baseline level of excitement regardless of the opponent. Especially on a saturday with nice weather!.

GO ROCKETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay I can dig this. I suppose if I hadn't gone to UK id feel more like this.

A little. Yeah.

Aside from a W, a + for the Rockets is the opportunity to hone some things in prep for the next game. Even if the game won't be that exciting, game day ambiance always is.
Oh--and the new ribbon board!

Definitely more interested in that game. At least it will be competitive. They will be throwing the ball a lot, no doubt. Looking at their stats against CO they might be a little vulnerable to the run. If our OL can move somebody I think we stand a good chance.

I don't have a good feeling about that one, which is not a good feeling.

Don't jump. The sudden stop is a

I don't disagree with the people commenting that some of these OOC opponents are not competitive enough. But, check this out:

Liberty 35 Buffalo 17 ..

And oh, by the way:

EMU 34 Illinois 31

I thought UB was better considering how well they played PSU. Liberty is fbs and the game was in Lynchburg.

The Citadel over Georgia Tech, etc... Murray State has all the pieces to come in and beat Toledo. When I watched their game against Georgia, I saw some very good players at QB, skill positions and guys on defense that can disrupt. What I saw last night was a deep Toledo team overwhelming Murray State. Toledo’s D swarms, and they will hit ya. The D-Line has 2+ solid units, and several combinations that work. The linebackers are great. Blue, Holt, and Fisher are really athletic guys. They were great, as were Bolden and Johnson. This is a deep group as shown by Crider on special teams. Mitch did well. He missed long on a couple throws, but he is doing a nice job Bradley did a nice job. His first pass was beautiful. He looked more comfortable this week. I like what Candle does to keep developing these guys. He went right to the play for Bradley that he missed at UK. BTW UK missed a short field goal and lost to Florida. And speaking of developing, the young guys look great. Finn will be a special QB. Quick, fast, and a great arm. Micah Kelly, Jacques Stuart, and Devin Maddox are all really good. The future looks bright.

I like what a saw. Toledo will need all that depth from here on out! Win a championship!

Go Rockets!!

When Mitch missed it seemed like he missed badly. A couple throws reminded me of Owens.
