It’s hard to believe but Spring football is only 7 days away ! Definitely puts a little pressure on willie to get his two coaching hires squared away ASAP.

Excited to start getting reports about Jesus, the Watts Bros and Pratt being on campus ! (If I were them I would already be in town for Mardi Gras ! )

And if we can get His Father and Mother to support the team...there will be no stopping us.

Jesus has decreeded that Spring Practice will begin 5 days later that originally scheduled. This may have something to do with the new Coaches being hired

The cone has descended.
If it doesn't rise until 9/3 I am ok with that.

is it the same as the 'corona silence" ?... I also understand that Corona Beer, so not to be taken in a negative light, is changing it's name to Ebola

Any beer that needs a fruit added to make it drinkable is not a beer, in my book, worth drinking! Then again, I'd take a Corona (or Blue Moon) over Coors Light 100 out of 100 times. Coors light is the original MINUS 1 in the "Suck Test"!

Re: Coors

What if we were tailgating on a day reminiscent of the 100 degree 100 % humidity Yulman opener vs georgia tech and trying to remain hydrated while showing some Tulane students how to shotgun a beer. . . Is coors light acceptable then ? ;)

I find coors light, like Bud light, to be acceptable on brutally hot days while tailgating. Although we could just scrap this thought Exercise Altogether and crack open some booze.


(Some day we will have news on the coaching situation and spring football, until then I find this very entertaining).

I find Coors Light and Bud Light to be unacceptable at any time. If you remember "The Suck Factor" it was an internet story about college kids doing a test of how long it took for a beer, exposed to sunlight, to suck. Coors Light got a -1! They said it sucked before it was even opened! I agree, and think it's right up there with PBR and Schlitz as some of the worst excuses for "beer."

Let's hope we get some coaching hire news so we need not debate the worst brews!

Assorted thoughts:

Excited for the 3 new receivers- watts bros and the grad transfer I hope they can step up.

Can our TE’s get more involved ? I love when they have 5+ Targets a game.

Our DL needs to have a resurgence and there seemingly is no reason they won’t.

We would all love to have 1 more seasoned QB, but all eyes will be on Pratt & Howard this Spring.

I wish we had a few more analysts, maybe we do and they’re just not listed (DL coach hasn’t been updated).

I think it’s time for Willie to give a hard look at a new Wide Receiver Coach. Go Double the money of LA Tech or FAU and steal theirs.

I would hope we get more out of a few 2nd year WR's, particularly Jha'Quon Jackson and Tyrek Presley, Also hope the Watts twins are as good as the coaches thought. Interested to see Pratt and Howard running Will Halls' offense. If we can get decent QB play, the 2020 Wave can compete for the AAC crown.
