#12 in the new AP poll and #19 in new coaches poll.
I have mixed emotions. Change the results of any 1 of 4 or 5 different plays in the Utah game, just 1 of them and we get a "L" instead of a "W" and are still unranked at 0-1. Coaches poll at #19 kind of feels right for now. Lets go beat the K-Cats and then we can talk about #11 or #12.
Go Gators!

Along those lines, my hopes for Sat night are a little simpler, but very similar: 1. I hope we play 4 quarters of competitive football 2. We do not at any point in the game break out a turnover or touchdown chain/sword/cape/framed Urban on Velvet/helmet/crown/belt/throne/fire hydrant/frying pan, etc., etc. ....... Ok, I missed drum major mace š

Game one of the Napier era, not sure we could ask for more. Few good years of recruiting and this could be fun.

Torrance missed two big tackles in the same series, once on the qb and one on a tightend all within 3 or 4 plays. Can't have safties that cannot tackle. Reggie Nelson probably has tears in his eyes.

New OC at Oregon was Auburn OC for Nix's freshman season. Trying to re-spark the flame.

I watched this on YT and Hawaii could be one of the worse tackling teams i ever saw from a D1 school. Did you watch the 2021 Florida Gators?

Had he stayed at UCF, he would have had his name on the stadium. Exactly.

I kind of feel sorry for the guy. He caught lightning in a bottle at UCF and something going. He could have rode that job into the UCF history books as the builder of the program. Could have been a small conference legend. Instead he got guilted into trying to save a once legendary program that time had passed by. I still believe he really didn't want to leave UCF, but he was guilted by big boosters and former coaches to go and save his alma mater. Now they are about to kick him to the curb, really sad. Hope he lands softly and gets another chance somewhere else (not in FL).

That's good for us, just means they won't come looking to poach Napier for 8 more years.

I think our first 22 can play with Utah's first 22. Beyond that we may be in trouble. I look for it to be close at half and then just pray that adrenalin and Swamp Magic can carry us in the second half.

On the bright side at least they are not giving away the tickets if you buy a hot dog and a drink. Does that mean your brother-in-law gets your free hot dog and drink? Bummer.

We will learn a lot week 1. Utah is no joke and has big hopes for their season. The Utes will be prepared and talented. I have my fingers crossed.

Recruiting this year will be a mess at best. Not sure how you go recruit when as a staff of coaches you have not played a single game yet. As of yet none of these kids have seen the product Napier and staff are going to put on the field wearing Orange and Blue. Never more than now is the old saying "talk is cheap" been more relevant. We live in a show me world, thus the BAMA recruiting dynasty, which is only recently been challenged by the GA (BAMA 2.0) staff. But now we have the NIL (play for pay) and the introduction of Texas oil money at both A&M and Texas to deal with as well. I think before this staff is going to do well on the recruiting trail we need to get some really good football on film and some W's in the win column. This staff has already opened a few doors (IMG) and hopefully some good play on the field this year will help as we move on. We can not be in this boat next season at this time.

Back in my 30's I had a guy I played baseball with all thru high school and then many more years of beer league softball do something similar. Married with 2 kids, teaching at our old high school. Got caught "dating" his student assistant. The young lady showed up at his house one evening when he was out of town to talk to his wife about how they were going to resolve their situation (of which his wife knew nothing). His wife called the young ladies parents and told them to call the police, situation resolved!

Is it Feb 2nd yet? Fingers and toes crossed, lots of kids out there saying good things about our new staff and overall program changes. That said at the end of the day when the pen hits the paper second place is just the first loser. Here is to hoping Coach Billy pulls the rabbit out of Mullens ass.

Iām sure l could do a deep dive and research some of these teams a little more, but my gut says 12-0 based on these matchups. Damn, that is some good Kool Aide! š¤£š¤£š¤£

I don't think we will, but we could be 1-3 coming out of Sept. New staff's message and leadership could be tested early. In all kinds of weather...

Did Mullen get 2 5 stars last year?
Getting James and Wilson given the position we are in is amazing. I am looking forward to the future.
Regarding all the rats jumping off the ship, I doubt very many will make it back to shore before the sharks eat them. Good riddance.

I do miss those little gems down here in South TX, but I am lucky enough to get them when I visit my father in Mobile AL.

I have to admit, game time drinking rules like this explain a lot about some of SD's more infamous post game rants. I love it, although my liver is quivering just from me reading the list.
