So OKST finally gets their shot at redemption against Iowa St. Hopefully their FG kicker is on his game.

Our program is at code red after getting pounded into oblivion the last three weeks.

Tracy Claeys officially named head coach for MN, signed a 3 year deal.
That should help the recruiting then.

Good call by the University IMO. Now get it done and beat Iowa Sat.

Look, your pessimism is deflating.

You need to re-evaluate your loyalties. I know I sound like a broken record, but it's the truth. You either get behind the program, or you get out, and don't come back when Coach FLOOD rights THE SHIP!

If you don't have faith in the coach, I question your faith to the team. The coach is the team. The players are not the team. The school & the coach are the team. Get behind them!

I blame Leidner for that more than anyone.

 

[Monroeski]

This will be the second week in a row that we play a team that has played 2 fewer games than we have. Our byes this year are next weekend (since we have a Thursday Thanksgiving game) and the very last week of the season.

Yeah good job here.

Other Rumors so far.

Cristobal to Miami, Herman and Fuente are incredibly hot names.

 

[KingBroly]

I think the winner of Baylor and Oklahoma State will get a pretty big bump, assuming both are undefeated when they play.

The Big 12 doesn't know how byes work, do they.

Though it would be interesting if there were a championship game, and one team got a week off to prepare.

 

[Monroeski]

The Big 12 doesn't know how byes work, do they.

It's really our own fault this year.

We have finals during that last week, and have thus in the past specifically requested that one of our byes be during that week, so we're starting off at a disadvantage to begin with; add in the Thursday night game and there's really no other place to have put the bye unless we want to play Texas with 2 fewer days of rest.

The finals thing has been burning us for a while now, but it has come up a lot in articles and interviews this season, so I think something will likely be done about it before the 2016 season (or 2017 at the latest).

WEEK 11 PICK 'EM

BONUS:
Leonard Fournette is averaging 173 yards per game (rounded up), and 7.1 yards per carry overall. This weekend, LSU plays Arkansas whose rush defense is giving up an average of 129 yards per game. Predict how far above/below his 173 ypg average Fournette will run against Arkansas. For example, a guess of +5 is for Fournette to run for 178 yards, while a guess of -10 is for him to run for 163 yards.

Bonus Scoring: Within 15 yards of his total -- 1 point. Within 10 yards of his total -- 2 points. Within 5 yards of his total -- 3 points. Guess it exactly -- 5 points. And, as always, the bonus is used as a tie breaker for purposes of deciding who gets the weekly 3 point bonus for winning the weekly pick 'em.

Going to Columbia, SC for the game this weekend. Taking a bus from Charlotte because friends. Tailgating at the fair grounds I think. Any advice? Things to see before the game that are nearby? Beer to steal from other tailgates?

We were trying to see Spurrier in one of his last games. But the OBC is still trolling us all.

Woof, that's a road game? I forgot about that. South Carolina may not be good at all this year, but the vandy game made me nervous. Vandy's defensive stats are a little better than SC, so that should help, but if we don't get any of our injured O-Line starters back, we're in for a rough time of it.

I'll just revert back to the muschamp rally cry: "Oh please let the defense score points!"

This week. I'm fully expecting Oklahoma State to roll over us. They know to not underestimate us. That being said, we are a lot better than our record. We lost to Toledo on a missed field goal. Lost to Iowa on a SBR pass. Held Baylor, TCU, and Oklahoma under their averages. Tech was the only game where we completely dropped the ball.

Not so much around the stadium itself although there are some good breweries nearby, so check those out. Most of what's to see is a mile or so in to downtown. Check out the campus, for sure. Park on Sumter near the horseshoe (the original campus from like 200 years ago).
