Howdy from SHSU!

[TexasTerror]

Howdy Bison Backers!

Just wanted to come over here and make myself a regular visitor to your forum. For those that don't know me, I'm active on Any Given Saturday and of course, KatFans.com, which is where all of the Kat faithful congregate online.

For the last few weeks, I've been heavily lurking your board and even trying to read Jeff Kolpack and Company at the Forum to learn more about what you fellas are doing about filling your schedule.

We're excited about the matchup that will be forthcoming against NDSU (home and away) and as I've told my Kat brethren, we're getting a top notch opponent comparison to Montana on the football field and comparable to McNeese State faithful as it relates to knowledge of the game. I'm really excited, what can I say?

Anyhow, just wanted to give you folks, a 'Howdy'. We want to invite any and all of you over to our boards over the next two years of Bearkats vs Bison. I know BisonBacker, JBB and Go_Herd have already made their way over.

Have a great one and we'll see you on http://www.KatFans.com and here on the Bison Board.

Take care,

TexasTerror

Welcome! The Bison are also very excited about this game. Can't wait to see Rhett Bomar in the Dome. We love the Southland Conf as your teams don't shy away from doing home & homes with us transitionals. Thank you. Hope to see you around.

GO BISON!!!

Welcome Texas Terror.+++++++

[BisonSig]

Welcome TexasTerror,

May your lurking turn into some participation. We may not always agree with you or each other for that matter but we love the talk.


How does your team look for the upcoming year? I will start by saying I really know nothing about them.

[TexasTerror]

How does your team look for the upcoming year? I will start by saying I really know nothing about them.

SHSU really did not lose too much from last season's 6-5 team that was really one coaching decision (changed our starting QB for McNeese game) from winning the SLC title and going to the Division I playoffs...

Our big loss wat at RB, where we lost DD Terry to graduation and we're all interested in seeing how Eastern Michigan transfer Olufemi Ogundare does in the backfield behind the Kats O-Line. SHSU is known for having a pretty good OL corps. Must be all those big boys in Texas, eh?

Offensively, we have Rhett Bomar who I'm sure you've heard of. Kats also have a potential preseason All-American candidate at TE in Blake Martin, who was just named to Don Hansen's All-South Regional team just recently. We'll see how our WR corps does. We've had a pretty good group of young ones with speed lately, but the Kats made some great 'grabs', most notably Trey Payne, formerly of Baylor. Apparently he is the fastest WR the Kats have seen in recent memory.

Defensively, the Kats lacked a pass rush but addressed that after putting a huge priority on it as it relates to transfers. Topping that list is Texas transfer (five star player out of HS) Chris Brown and a lineman from national champion Jr College, Blinn (down the road from Huntsville), Ryan Glotson. Kats also added the seventh leading tackler in NJCAA in Frank Simon, who played JUCO ball in Oklahoma.

Speed in the secondary with lots of young, promising athletes. Lost some seniors, but the Kats were deep in depth as we run a 4-2-5 which means having loads of guys that play in the secondary is critical. Should not be a problem.

That's some about our team, hope it answers some questions!

[BearsCountry]

You guys will enjoy Sam Houston St. We had two good games with them.

[TexasTerror]

You guys will enjoy Sam Houston St. We had two good games with them.

Wish Missouri St would come to Huntsville sometime out of the kindness of their hearts after backing out of the last game and never coming to Huntsville (due to Hurricane Rita).

Regardless, SHSU upgraded the FCS opponent with NDSU, which is going to be a tough game to win, instead of very winnable game against Missouri State. Just wish we didn't have the two Div II teams on our slate (Angelo St and Arkansas-Monticello)...

Welcome...and we look forward to the matchups also. It helps the attitude in NDSU country to get a home/home matchup with a quality program like yours. Thanks.

[Mr._Burgundy]

What kind of car does Rhett Bomar drive on campus? *Ha. *I hate Oklahoma, so I had to take a shot. *Thanks for joining the board.

[Gamehunter]

With the excellent texas recruits we have been pulling in the last 3 years (and especially this year) it is always welcoming to see another Texas based Southland team on our schedule. I am hoping to make the trip to Huntsville in '08! The Southland has been a great conference scheduling with NDSU, unlike some other teams in confs that are to chicken to put us on their schedule.

[ndsubison]

BISON: 42
SHSU: 10

The Kats get a very unwelcome reception in the FargoDome, even though the game is closer than the score. In a post-game interview, Rhett Bomar is quoted as saying "What the Phuck? I mean......well it was like.....I never thought that could happen.......those guys are a lot faster than what we saw on tape and their fans.......their fans.......I don't want to go back there. What the phuck?!?!"

Who loves ya, Baby? :D

42-10...yikes! I hope not...

Problem is, SHSU plays two Div II teams before heading to Fargo. I'm a bit concerned about this. Would rather a winnable FCS game (see SWAC or Missouri St) before playing NDSU, but we'll see what happens. Kats will be 2-0 heading into the game and hopefully we'll know who some of are 'animals' on the defensive line are by that point...

Man, your going to make me root for SFA against you fellas?!?

As much as I hate anything in purple, especially when it hails from Nacogdoches, it's critical for the SLC to do well OOC especially after last year when we couldn't win too many games, namely because of all the FBS games on our slates in the post-Katrina/Rita year...

The heat and humidity in Huntsville has worn down teams from the north!

Just ask the Grizzlies of Montana. ;)

So, is the Fargodome really hot and humid? Or is that from all the 'Herd' in the stands? I know there's some coaches who like the mess around with the 'climate' at their venues...

If anything, some vistiing teams have found the Fargodome rather dry.


The temperature may vary anywhere from 68-70 degrees.

Have a wedding in Jan '08 to worry about. The fiancee has me on 'lock down'. I'm hoping to make my annual trip to Huntsville to catch a Kats game and then I'll catch the Kats trip to nearby Southeastern Louisiana...

Would love to make the '08 return game between NDSU and SHSU...

[TexasTerror]

Jesus, TexasTerror. Are you whipped!! :D Well, gotta go my wife needs something.... :-[

It's easier to listen to games than travel out of state for them...

Another problem is I work Sunday through Thursday during most of the year (including the all-important football season). This doesn't help me out much as it relates to traveling to see the Kats. The fiancee is actually really giving as it relates to SHSU. She understands that I will not move a budge (and has allowed me out of things I typically would help with -- she has a program once monthly on Saturday) for all SHSU football games and any basketball games that I deem as major. I've been "giving" though. I've cut out at halftime of a game against a Div II foe that was out of question to help her with that program... :)

[Scooter]

TexasTerror, we're all in the same boat, my friend, looks like you got yourself a winner. Been with mine 20+. Still, you should take Wyo up on that "Northern" bachelor party.

Awesome! I am looking forward to this home game. Now the Bison just need to schedule another home game and the 2007 schedule is set.

[TexasTerror]

Lots of enthusiasm about the Bearkats this spring with several impact transfers, all the talk in Huntsville about Rhett Bomar and 52 lettermen coming back.

There's quite a few young players that SHSU fans are very interested in getting glimpses at especially as a few continue to develop under our DC Duane Dirk. On defense, this includes our two redshirt freshmen from Longview, TX (DBs Jarvis Pippins and Cartez Beall), the continued development of sophomore LB Luke McCall and the arrival of sophomore transfer DE from Texas, Chris Brown. Also, Kats are hoping to see how that defensive line develops this year with a few highly touted redshirt freshman joining Brown and JUCO transfer Ryan Glotson.

Offensively, all eyes are focused on the young backs behind Bomar which include Eastern Michigan transfer Olufemi Ogundare and redshirt freshman TyMagic Robinson. Can't forget Chris Poullard. Also, with Bomar in the fold behind the solid Kats O-Line, the WRs (Baylor transfer Trey Payne and local product Justin Wells) and the Kats All-American candidate at TE, Blake Martin, are worth keeping tabs on as we all know the Kats love to employ an high-powered offense under OC James Ferguson.

---------------
From Bearkat Athletics...

TexasTerror,

Your enthusiasm is rubbing off. I can not wait for the Bison's spring game. Looks like you guys have a talented team. I am already getting goose bumps when I think about how good the Bison could be this year. A couple key loses but a whole heck of a lot of talent looking to grow into their new roles.

Bring on the Competition.

[bisonhusker]

Just to let you know, their QB is silly good. He had some issues and "had" to leave Oklahoma, but he will be the best QB in the dome this year. As a huge fan of the Big 12, he has a ton of talent and should be alot of fun to watch. Quite a QB battle that day. Just another example of the type of athlete we get to see in Divison one athletics.

That is quite a statement for a guy who hasn't even thrown a pass for his team. Walker has proven himself one of the best in the FCS and will be a candidate for the Walter Payton again this year.

Point being, if you paid attention to last year, Montana's Swogger or Idaho State's Guetierrez, transfers don't always live up to the hype. Or even remotely close in either of those cases.

Agreed...for every Josh McCown (SMU), Chris Chaloupka (Oklahoma St) and Dustin Long (Texas A&M) that set the SHSU record books on fire...there are Noah Allen (Oklahoma/steroids and grades), Luke Huard (North Carolina/never took a snap due to SHSU not accepting credits for UNC 'classes') and Vince Smith (Texas A&M/starter who never amounted to much)...

SHSU has a history of successful QBs, but since 1999, we're hit and miss. We're batting .500 right now. We have Philip Daughtery (Texas Tech transfer) and now Rhett Bomar (Oklahoma) in our QB 'pen...

I have hunted alot down around Sonora. Christoval and Eldorado. One of the first times my wife was with me we were just outside Brownwood and we were really hungry. I saw this Tin covered shack that said BB-Q. I pulled in and my wife says " why and the hell are we stopping here"? I said look the parking lot is FULL. What a place. They had newspaper table cloths. Served tea in mason jars and had great Q. Lemons BB-Q stopped there every year when we hunted out there. PL

I might pass on the bass, but take in some BOAR hunting if I made the trip. ;D

Spring football begins in less than a week (March 22nd)...

It's starting to get hot here in the south. I was burning up the other day and we're 20 degrees below where we'll be in a matter of weeks!

Lots of questions should be answered in the weeks ahead. We're a bit clueless about how many players will be taking the field for the first time with SHSU this spring...

Thanks for the update. Looks like this may be a real good test for the DB's to cover and the DL to put some pressure on Rhett.

[TheDoctor]

Joe Mays will end Rhett's NFL career before it gets a chance to start. ::) Similar to Spaeth from Minnesota! ;D

[IowaBison]

INJURY REPORT

2006: Suffered a Grade-2 right shoulder separation in the second quarter on a 1-yard catch vs. North Dakota State and had to be helped off the field. Was expected to miss the rest of the season, but only sat out the Ohio State game before returning for the final three regular season games. Missed the Insight Bowl to undergo surgery.

I thought it was Humber who hit him, not Mays. I had some pretty thick beer goggles on at the time so I could be wrong ;D

I absolutely LOVE Walker, but Rhett scares the crap out of me. Again, this is the best part of going D1. The opportunity to see a stud QB like Rhett come in and play at the Fargodome. OH, and I am already planning on making his stay a painful one. He will hate to be in front of the best section in the Fargodome. HIGH SNAP???? Yeah, it is giong to be wild. I am standing by my statement, that he will be the best QB to play in the Fargodome this year.

[ndsubison]

Sam Houston State quarterback Rhett Bomar will be interviewed on ESPN's "Outside the Lines" at 2:30 p.m. (Central Time) Wednesday, April 4.

This is more than a minor violation, to give the "everyone is doing it" defense does an injustice to all those kids who have the character to acknowlege and follow the rules set down. *This kid knew what he was doing was wrong and it sure as hell didn't seem to bother him. * The kid is a talented athlete but, I'm not willing to sign off on this kid's character. *Hell, the kid has his own website, how self absorbed is that?(deleted because it's incorrect)

That kid is a stud. Good video. That is just one kid getting caught at something that happens at alot of big time schools. I am sure he is not a bad kid. He was/is a great quarterback.....how good is the team around him? B1SON....does he need to meet Joe Mays?????

Bomar is an even better teammate...

Last year, he was the first one on the sidelines to greet the Bearkat QBs (Hicks and Pate) when they came off the field. He was seen at the games he attended (I don't think he made road trips as he was not on the 'travel squad') in the press box with the Off Coordinator or on the field with the QBs and Head Coach (a former SLC signal-caller himself)...

Bomar apparently, when positions were not showing up to voluntary workouts has been calling them out for not showing up. This has not been seen since Dustin Long, who led the Kats to the Div I semifinals in 2004...we have a bonafide leader!

This is more than a minor violation, to give the "everyone is doing it" defense does an injustice to all those kids who have the character to acknowlege and follow the rules set down. *This kid knew what he was doing was wrong and it sure as hell didn't seem to bother him. * The kid is a talented athlete but, I'm not willing to sign off on this kid's character. *Hell, the kid has his own website, how self absorbed is that?

Actually he didnt steal anything. As a matter of fact he didnt break any local municipal, state or federal laws.
He did violate the NCAA rule in regards to compensation for hours worked. Granted he was overly compensated according to the NCAA guidlines.

Ahmen! Scooter - take some deep breathes my little gopher friend! While what Rhett did was wrong, your making it into something bigger than it was. He STOLE NOTHING! The owner was paying him off. Which is a NCAA violation but NOT against the law or stealing from anyone. Did Rhett pee on your Cheerios this morning or something? Get over Rhett and move on!

Saw the story on Sports Center this morning. Bomar seems like he has his head screwed on right. Or maybe he just knows that this is his last shot. The stadium in Huntsville looks like nothing compared to the FFD. Thanks to SHSU for having the onions to put us on their slate.

He points out how easy it was for him to take the money, but also says he made the decision to take it. Thats responsible.

Give me a flippin' break. *That's not responsible, that's damage control. *There's a reason why Oklahoma couldn't get far enough away from the two kids that were kicked out. *Does the kid deserve to be punished forever? *Obviously, the answer is no. *I just hope that this kid learned his lesson after he had the NCAA's foot removed from his ass. *Good luck to SHSU, I hope that the gamble that you took with your program doesn't come back to haunt you.

Now, really looking forward to the game this fall.

Took a gamble on him? My god, you sound like he is a drug dealer. He was "referred" by OU to get a job there and the owner started padding his hours and eventually told him I'll give you a check don't bother coming to work. He was 19 years old. I DON'T think Sam Houston has any donors like the one in question let alone would do the same thing. HE MADE A MISTAKE! I don't think it means the kid has no character.

[Scooter]

B1SON, no one said having character was easy. *There is right and there is wrong. *Character dwindles with each rationalization. *Who said he was the same as a drug dealer? *Your rationalizations are making you stretch. *And, who gives a shit who referred him to the booster. *The choices a person makes in life speak volumes.

So, we have established the fact that I am less willing to put blinders on than others.

I believe he and the other kid were the fall guys. Two 19 year old college students were the fall guys. Why do you honestly think he was "pushed" to gain employment there? OU had to know something was up and I am sure other players over the last 20 years have received the same benefits. The blinders you speak of belong to you if you think this was all on Rhett and his character.

So, we have established the fact that I am less willing to put on bliders than you.

Now who is making the unsubstanciated accusations? You had better have pretty hard proof to make that accusation. I thought you guys said that this kid stated that he made the decision to take the money. It goes without saying that this Oklahoma booster is a piece of work, it still doesn't take away these two players' ultimate responsibility for their choices in life. I'm sure that each kid got a list of the rules and rule number 1-5 read something like....

1. Don't take money from boosters
2. Don't take gifts from boosters
3. Don't accept special favors from boosters
4. Don't take money from boosters
5. Did I mention don't take money from boosters?

These two guys got caught and now their getting run down the river in order to protect those who didn't get caught. Do you think Minnesota is the only major school where kids have had papers written for them? In that situaion Archambolt from Fort Yates was mad that he was kicked off the basketball team for being late all the time and missing team buses so he blew the whistle on the program. Of course Clem took the fall and everyone acted like Clem was the ONLY coach on the face of the earth that would allow something like this, so that noone started snooping around at any other schools. Anyway, I am digressing. My final point is that I don't do the whole shock factor on this deal because I know a lot more are doing it as well, their just not getting caught. It's very easy to do and very difficult for a 19 year old to turn down. Is it wrong? Yes. Would I do it? No. I just think it snowballed out of control on him and their was no going back after he let the first couple of extra hours on his paycheck. Bottom line is I don't look at it as he did it once, he will always do it. He is young and he made a mistake. He's accepted it, PUT IT IN HIS PAST, and moved on. I shal now too. ;)

SHSU has gambled before with transfers with great success at times (Josh McCown from SMU, Jason Mathenia from Vandy, Dustin Long from A&M among others) and had a huge lack of success at others (Vince Smith from A&M, Noah Allen from Oklahoma and two kids from North Carolina which included Luke Huard that never took a snap due to UNC's low academic standards not meeting SHSU's)...

Comments like this are annoying to me. How much has this kid played college FB? What basis do they come from other than being recruited at a top d1 School?

I don't mean this to disrespect posters nor the kid. However, when things are posted like this it could easily be considered disrespectful to any other college football QB that has played in the Fargodome... Like Walker, what else do you want him to do for goodness sakes?

We played against some very good qb's last year. I remember that the MN qb sliced through some pretty good Big Ten teams and he didn't do squat against us. If your under pressure and don't have anyone to throw to it makes it kind of hard. ;D

What planet have you guys been on? Bomar started 11 games for Oklahoma as a redshirt Freshman. He set a freshman record with 2018 passing yards and completed 54% of his passes. He threw 10 Td's and 10 int's in 2005. Oklahoma won six of their final 7 games and beat oregon in the Holiday Bowl. I'd say he has proven himself as a capable college QB.

++ I don't even think it'll be that close between Walker and Bomar. As a senior Walker has ALOT of experience and team chemistry over Bomar plus a very good supporting cast of lineman, WR's, and RB's to help out(not to even mention way better numbers through the air). I'm not trying to say this guy wont be as good or better than Walker in a couple of years....but it's a little rediculous to put the two in the same sentence right now.

[56BISON73]

I have never been able to understand the thought process that makes one think that one QB got schooled by another since those QBs dont go ahead to head against each other. They compete against the opposing teams DEFENSE.

But in this case people are trying to compare apples to oranges. Bomar has some pretty good stats against level one Div 1 schools. Waker hasnt had that opportunity. PL

Yeah, maybe "schooled" wasn't technically correct, but you obviously got my point. * Would you be happier with "was shown to significantly be the the inferior QB on that particular day"? **At the start of the game the anouncers were all talking about the gopher QB being better and wondering how Walker would perform against IA Big Ten competition. *During the game, one quarterback was clearly out performing his counterpart. *Also, if you want to use the argument that Walker hasn't had the opportunity to go up against IA level schools you have to also acknowlege that while Walker was out performing the U of M QB, he was further handicapped by the fact that the U of M QB had the advantage of playing against a reclassifying FCS defense *;) while Steve was forced to perform against a Defense from the Big Ten. *Walker was doing the teaching, my friend. *We have another performance mark... Steve against IA Ball State.

The point was that we have played against division I quarterbacks that actually have BETTER overall numbers than Rhett does. *And, he won't be playing with his teammates from Oklahoma. *You have to admit that is a factor. **

10 TD's to 10 INTs is OK but certainly not world beating.

22 37 237 59.5 22 0 1 107.86

arn't very good numbers against "level one Div 1 schools".

However, I definately agree about each QB competing against the opposing defense and not being able to truely compare the two like the example of NDSU vs. UM. And I think we can all agree that the NDSU and SHSU defense will be anything but equal in September if the last few years are any indicator ;D

The point was that we have played against division I quarterbacks that actually have BETTER overall numbers than Rhett does. *And, he won't be playing with his teammates from Oklahoma. *You have to admit that is a factor. **

10 TD's to 10 INTs is OK but certainly not world beating.


Iam not trying to take anything away from Walker. But I would hope you arent using MN and Ball State as a bench mark for reasons that are obvious. PL

Glad there is so much discussion under the SHSU/NDSU thread! ;D

Hope to see some more of you make your way to KatFans.com. Another one of you Bison fans made your way over and got another convo started on the NDSU/SHSU game. Good deal!

[NorthernBison]

What planet have you guys been on? *Bomar started 11 games for Oklahoma as a redshirt Freshman. *He set a freshman record with 2018 passing yards and completed 54% of his passes. *He threw 10 Td's and 10 int's in 2005. *Oklahoma won six of their final 7 games and beat oregon in the Holiday Bowl. *I'd say he has proven himself as a capable college QB.

I'm sure that you will be the first in line to wave the palm branches as Bomar rides into Fargo on a donkey as you sing "Hosanna in the Highest" *I'll take the kid that threw for 10 TD's and 0 interceptions his freshman year. *At least with him, I don't have to worry about what he is going to do off the field. *We all know that Mr. Bomar is a talented athlete. *It's the baggage that he brings with him, deserved or not, that is the gamble on SHSU's part. *

Further, I'll bet that he won't be the best quarterback on the field when we play, either. *I'll throw some numbers at you...

Yards * *TD * *INT
2004 * * 2097 * * 14 7
2005 * * 2530 * * 19 9
2006 * * 2819 * * 22 9
Total * * 7446 * * 55 25

Those are some pretty impressive IA numbers, and , proven over a three year stretch. *This guy got schooled (shown that he was significantly the inferior QB on this particular day) in his own house by Walker last year.

Those are the numbers for the U of M QB. *The U of M had some pretty good offensive linemen last year. *I doubt that Bomar will get the same level of protection.


No, I won't be there to "wave the palm branches". I'll be there to cheer on the Bison. Nowhere in my post did I make ANY inference about Bomar vs. Walker. I was somewhat frustrated by some posters who seemed to think that Bomar had zero college football experience and was being hyped because of his being recruited by a big time college program. I wanted to point out that he started nearly a full year as a freshman for Oklahoma and put up some decent numbers. Certainly acceptable numbers for a freshman. Before the problems with the car dealership, people were referring to him as Oklahoma's STAR Quarterback.

Anytime a player with exceptional talent steps on the field, it creates issues for the other team. I am looking forward to see how our defense does against a quality QB. Last year nobody owned our defense for an entire game (a half maybe). I'd expect more of the same this year.

[99Bison]

The point my original reply was to take off the media blinders and look at reality to understand and respect the kids... Which everyone appears to have done since.

Yes thunder you can still go to the game as long as you have bells on. ;D

Hey man, it's Easter time hence the Palm Sunday reference. *You just seamed so enthusiastic about listing the kids stats from yards to Td's to Int's to Wins...ect, that I just thought it prudent to point out that these numbers were in line with a IA player that we have previously played. *Actually, his numbers aren't as good as the MN QB's. *Although Bomar's freshman numbers are good, having an even TD to INT ratio is not. *

Although I admit to taking a friendly jab at the reverence you give to Bomar's freshman stats, I never said that you preferred him to Walker. I simply stated that I prefer Walker.

[NorthernBison]

No problem Scooter. I caught the Easter reference and apparently you have been paying attention in church last couple weekends.

I actually didn't qoute stats to prove that Bomar is some kind of superstar QB. The yards aren't bad and the TD/Int ratio is nothing to brag about. I was really trying to convey that the kid did start 11 games as a freshman and it was for Oklahoma. Typically there is more to a story than just the raw stats.

The only thing I might disagree with your logic on is the MN QB vs Bomar. Regardless of the stats, I'd probably lean toward the kid that started for Oklahoma over a player that was a Gopher starter. ;)

For the Gopher fans out there, that was a friendly jab OK. I know that Spaeth was probably the best TE in the country so my logic is flawed. I get it.

[Scooter]

No problem Scooter. *I caught the Easter reference and apparently you have been paying attention in church last couple weekends..

Yeah, I can't wait for Pentecost, it's coming up you know. *The possibilities are endless...tongues of fire.... speaking in multiple languages....A mighty wind....Spreading the gospel that is Bison football...(I hope I don't smoke a turd in purgetory for that one)

SHSU had our spring game today. Early reports are that the Bearkat faithful were more impressed with backup QB Brett Hicks than they were prized transfer Rhett Bomar...things are still early. There's a whole bunch of time before the Kats strap in for two-a-days.

I am looking forward to watching Brown, does he play DE? Which side? I am wondering if he will be going up against our all american tackle or a newbie.

Thanks for the link, looks like you guys are back in the hunt!

D1-A transfers don't always work out but I hope for the kid it does. Rhett seems to have his head screwed on.

Brown plays DE. Not sure what side, but he may be the bigger impact player of the transfers we have...even more so than Bomar...

Well, if he is an impact player, than undoubtedly he is playing on the right side, QB blind side. He would be going up against our all american tackle. Brown vs Safe could be a head bangin matchup that will be interesting to watch this fall.

Thanks for the info.

Was just announced SHSU will be facing Kansas in 2008...

SHSU will have a really nice schedule in 2008...

NDSU (OOC) with SLC foes TXST, SFA, McN and SELA coming to Huntsville. SHSU travels to NWST, UCA and Nicholls along with the game against Kansas. Look for SHSU to schedule a sub-Div I foe more than likely as we'll have atleast six home games.

If lucky, we'll start a new home-and-home with an FCS foe at home. SHSU begins a four year home-and-home with Gateway member Western Illinois in 2009, so we'd have atleast one home and one away with FCS foes in 2009 in addition to our typical FBS game on the road and one sub-Div I game at home.

If you folks get a chance, here's a new column about the Southland Conference...one of NDSU's favorite conferences, right?

http://www.collegesportingnews.com/images/articles/85490_DOWNSOUTH.jpg

Down South: Welcome to Down South(land)


Down south, there’s a special brand of football. It comes from the Southland Conference. This conference encompasses schools from Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas. In the seven seasons since 2000, the Southland has had multiple bids to the best four weeks in American college football on five different occasions. There’s not many other leagues that can claim the weekly war of attrition to see who will rise above the rest as the institution which gets the opportunity to proudly display a Southland Conference championship banner at their football stadium the following year. ...

It's FCS Game of the Week time...

http://www.collegesportingnews.com/survey.asp

I think SHSU @ North Dakota St is a good pick for week three. Georgia Southern @ Coastal Carolina is a good one as is UNI @ South Dakota State...not sure any other games are more attractive...

[TexasTerror]

Who wants to help my argument and help me justify NDSU being #2 in my preseason poll?

I'd have NDSU somewhere between 5-10 right now. :nod:

[TransAmBison]

I feel happy with placing the Bison at #2. I can't think of anyone I'd place above them other than App. And even they are suspect...even though they are "Hot, hot, hot!"

I would place Montana ahead of NDSU just because I think the Griz have an easier schedule and will produce a better W-L record than the Bison, though not necessarily reflective of being a better team than NDSU...which is why I put NDSU over Montana...

A few more hours (once we deal with Arkansas- Monticello and you folks handle SFA)...it'll be NDSU vs SHSU time!

Hope to see some of you come over to KatFans.com as we'll want to learn about you guys and get your thoughts on one of our big rivals, SFA.

See you in a few hours...

SHSU wins 48-10 tonight over Arkansas-Monticello...

SHSU got off to a slow start but things picked up from the early-goings of the second half...

Running game looks pretty solid, a few too many dropped passes by WRs...

These are two very active FCS schools as far as online boards go, so we should have quite a bit of good interaction between the schools. Know some of our fans are looking forward to the trek up to Fargo, North Dakota. Safe travels to them and good luck this week!

Just like your guys ugly first game we had an ugly first game too. I think this is the first time in history I have seen a team turn the ball over 5 times to the opponents zero, have 3 poorly timed unsportsman like conduct penalties, and, and dropped 4 key passes not counting 2 deflections that lead to picks and still win the game by 10. A win is a win but it's certainly not impressive for us!
