Yep. It's on the Dish package that I pay way too much for. I did call and battle through being on hold the other day and got $25/mo knocked off the bill. I had to commit to sticking around for another 2 years though. My internet just isn't reliable enough. Upgrading my 10 year old wifi router might help but I still have the underlying issue with Spectrum going out intermittently.

wunderground says 84 with an 11 mph wind and 43% cloud cover at 6 pm and drop to 80 by 9:00. Humidity won't be too bad either. I know that's highly speculative this far out but if it's accurate, it will be a beautiful day for football. https://www.wunderground.com/hourly/us/tx/fort-worth/date/2019-08-31

Yep. #2 in '10 and #3 in '14. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCU_Horned_Frogs_football#Top_25_finishes

A&M says no UT game.

This is pretty unbelievable:

I agree with you. I don't recall seeing him do that. I'm not saying he may not have done with Verrett at some point in time but I sure don't remember it.

I think he will put Julius Lewis in at a safety spot to cover Moore in the slot. That would leave us with a freshman at corner after Daniels' injury but I'll take it.

These body bag games do keep the football programs afloat at a lot of HBCU. I still hate 'em. One proposal I heard to put an end to body bag games was for the NCAA to allow FCS teams to scrimmage FBS teams in the fall in exchange for getting paid. I doubt it will ever happen because you get zero revenue from fans to offset the appearance fee but it would be nice.

Looks like they will have decent experience at offensive tackle but almost none up the middle on the O-line. https://www.hammerandrails.com/2019/8/6/20757099/purdue-football-its-all-about-the-big-boys-offensive-line

Projected starting RB Tario Fuller was injured in practice last week and could be out a while. However, KIng Dorue, a freshman from Amarillo that we recruited but never offered might surprise a lot of people. He took Amarillo Tascosa farther in the playoffs last season than any team from Amarillo has been in decades. https://purdue.rivals.com/news/purdue-boilermakers-football-tario-fuller-suffers-significant-injury

I'm not sure what to think about this game. Moore scares me bu they have problems on the O-line and the defense could be pretty suspect as well. https://www.hammerandrails.com/2019/8/19/20803903/2019-purdue-football-preview-five-questions

SWAC teams Sagarin ratings out of 256 total teams: 256 253 252 (A-PB) 250 242 (Jackson St) 234 220 215 202 191 (Alcorn) There is no way we should be playing anyone with a Sagarin Rating over 200. Teams with a ranking over 100 but less than 200 that would be more credible opponents are 101 S. Miss 102 FIU 104 CSU 106 MTSU 107 Rutgers (WTG Big 10) 108 UAB 109 Oregon St. 110 Tulsa 112 U La La 115 UNLV 118 UC-Davis 120 ECU 122 UNM 124 Weber St. 129 Akron 135 UTSA 144 SJ St 152 SHSU 166 TX ST 170 Rice 172 UTEP

Ouch. I hate playing SWAC teams. I appreciate the fact that they need the revenue but it's not really fair to those kids to offer them up like lambs to the slaughter against a vastly superior opponent. I wish we would at least play a Sun Belt team or even a decent Southland Conference team. Most of those SWAC teams couldn't beat a decent Lone Star Conference D2 school.

Alex Delton Highlight Reel. Some nice throws downfield and some good examples of his running ability. I think he runs better than Boykin.

APB was not a good SWAC team but they really weren't as bad as I thought based on their 90-6 loss to South Dakota St. They were 2-9 but they had a 4 pt loss to Morehouse, a 3 pt loss to Jackson, a 2OT loss to Miss Valley, and an OT loss to Grambling. They got drilled 55-9 by FIU in their only game against an FBS team but FIU was pretty decent last year. So, they're probably going to be bad but maybe not as bad as that Grambling team we played in 2012. Here's the only preview I could find on them. https://herosports.com/fcs/football-2019-preview-arkansas-pine-bluff-swac-ajaj
