That was a laughable read. I needed that to pick up a slow day!

It's going to be a bloodbath
50ish to 14...
Depending on when we pull Dak, pull Damian, and go ground and pound only... I don't think they will move the ball too terribly well even on the scout team. Mullen(s) does seem to be improved and have a decent receiving corps -- if he has any time to throw.
There are still a lot of people in our own state that see us as we were several years ago and don't realize the amount of talent and depth we're building. That will change this year.
There's a small part of me who remembers the USM who beat State 6 years in a row in the late 1970's-early 1980's. If we were to play this game in the Croom era, we'd lose easily. The only thing that gives me comfort is that Dan Mullen does NOT lose to teams with less talent than he has.
I loved the post about being relieved by the 3rd Army.
I was at a birthday get-together this evening and was talking with another State fan. His wife, who was standing nearby, is a USM fan and asked me how I felt about the game. I told her I expected State to win. She said that State always used to say they would beat the hell out of USM, but then USM beat us. It took all I had not to burst out laughing. I leaned in next to the State fan I'd been chatting with and said:"They didn't used to be 1-23 either."
