I’ll be giving my pint of blood tomorrow afternoon at Murphy in exchange for a win on Saturday. Hope it helps. 😂

I have given in every blood drive since this thing started, but I won't this time around. On the road to tomorrow to pick up a Beagle that I rescued from a shelter a couple of hours away and likely won't have time the other two days.

So if my math is right, if we somehow win this game, that'll make Stock's 99th and our 5th this year.

I can see the posts now from the admin celebrating his 100th win and bowl eligibility in the same sentence.

We finish the year 6-6 and he will be 100-98.

Going to be very hard to win any more games with Cunningham injured. Nothing official but that 99% looked like an ACL tear to me.

Unless Vattiato is a player, I don't see any more possible wins beyond FIU.

Agreed. I see 6-6 as the cap for the season. No way we win more than 2 of the last 4. And of course with how Stock operates I doubt very seriously anything will be said on Chase tonight.
 
6-6 might be pushing it after that performance against USM. On the plus side, no more games relegated to Stadium if/when we make it into the MAC!

Vattiato's couple of throws looked way better than DiLello's Tighter spirals with more zip. He looked more like Chase than DiLello. I like the Dilello kid but the run first thing is a gimmick that works every now and again. It's the arm that get's it done.

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and predict our Blue Raiders will run the table to finish 8-4. Some things I noticed on Saturday:
1) The defense is playing better than they have played in years. They were laying their ears back and USM had no answers. I came away with the feeling that they have made a decision as a unit to score points every game.
2) Stock displayed more visible emotion Saturday after that fumble into the end zone than I’ve seen him display in years. I firmly believe he knows and has been told there is a reckoning after this season especially after the last two. Whether Diliello checked off to that screw up or it was called from upstairs, it was apparent to everyone in the stadium that Stock wasn’t happy with that call at that moment for that outcome and he went off for 10 minutes.
3) I watched Polly a lot Saturday. The guy was physically
counting the number of special teams players on the field before the snap. Again, somebody is in his ear too.
4) I haven’t seen Tommy West that active on a sideline since his rookie first year at Ole Miss coaching Buford McGee. His d-line’s play was indicative of that as well.
5) I watched a couple of Diliello throws from field level and the guy has an arm. They were well thrown balls. Maybe this is his opportunity to take the offense and run with it.

This defense is going to keep the Blue Raiders in the FAU and WKU games if the offense protects the football. The offense, like Wiley has eluded to in the past has some real good, really fast skill players if Dearmon can find a way get the ball to them.

OK. Here they go……….😂😂🙏

Make your bowl plans now.

Such optimism. I'm feeling it. All it took was a rumored MAC invite!
 
Heck I saw Chase this week. He is done for the year. With our fantastic line I am surprised this did not happen sooner.

I’m genuinely curious what made you think he is done for the year? Hobbling, crutches or what?
