RE: 2021 Football Predictions
At the beginning of the season I struggled with the potential of us beating a team we should lose against and lose against a team we should beat. Now I am not so sure. We just aren't the same team that went down to Huntsville and beat the Bearkats a couple of years ago. We have already proven twice that we can't stop slightly better teams than us when they get us down, even if we begin to rally a little. The capacity just isn't there; again, players or coaches??? We will see if we win against Lamar today. I don't really see us losing as Lamar is just worse than us. No, it won't be a blowout like last game. Anything can happen though and we have shown to fold in our own house. Tarleton is a different ball game. They will wreak havoc on us, we may win and we may lose. I don't feel comfortable predicting a win against them. The even tougher competition? Nope, we don't have it this year. We will walk away with a couple of more wins this season, but beyond that the progress isn't really there. I think we all knew that before the season even if we got a little excited for a fleeting moment.

Did you see the post on CC about bringing John David Baker home? I’m not going to respond and add fuel to the fire but Dorrel’s seat is getting very hot.

I saw it and agree to leave that one alone right now. What is going to happen will happen. I'll try not to throw any more logs on it.
