SoutheasternLa. vs UIW
AbileneChristian vs Houston

My picks for this week:

Nicholls vs Central Arkansas The bears were devastated by a football going 53.2 yards for the game winner and our local paper calling them Missouri Southern. Talk about disrespect. Nicholls will pay for it. ++60
Arkansas Tech vs McNeese State A rout..no doubt. Wreck Tech +45
Southeastern La. vs UIW Um..do we have to predict this one? +45
Abilene Christian vs Houston Baptist Ken does it again! ACU wins by two..thirty two that is! +32
Sam Houston State vs Lamar Sam in full crumble mode. Lamar looking to take one for their part of Texas. +3

Further derailment of this string.

Any of you Southland guys want to help us in this logo contest by voting for us?

Good, now go back and vote for McNeese vs VCU. By the way, I wonder why the state of Wyoming has jumped their ass. I know it is a mule but it looks like a horse and the back legs are up. The state of Wyoming claims copyright on any bucking horse logos with the back legs up.

[Skyhawk71]

Nicholls State @ Central Arkansas +27
Arkansas Tech @ McNeese State +35
Southeastern Louisiana @ Incarnate Word +35
Abilene Christian @ Houston Baptist +24

[LH Cardinal Mom]

Nicholls vs Central Arkansas +28
ArkansasTech vs McNeese State +35
SoutheasternLa. vs UIW +35 :( I was encouraged with the change in our offensive production last week & see a LOT of promise. This week isn't the week it's going to happen though. :(
AbileneChristian vs Houston +28
Sam HoustonState vs Lamar +7

[bonarae]

Nicholls vs Central Arkansas +24
ArkansasTech vs McNeese State +35
SoutheasternLa. vs UIW +28
AbileneChristian vs Houston - +6
Sam HoustonState vs Lamar - +13, the Kats' bleeding may stop right there.

Ha! I actually voted 10 times for McNeese. That pic is actually Southern Arkansas University Muleriders. UCA had the same problem with Kentucky. Something about an animal with its claws out was copyright infringement. Yeah, a purple bear looks like a wildcat.

[Catatonic]

AbileneChristian vs Houston - toss-up?


If you consider 3 consider a three or four TD margin a toss up, sure.

[bonarae]

If you consider 3 consider a three or four TD margin a toss up, sure.

xconfusedx I consider a toss-up if the final predicted margin is less than two touchdowns.

[FormerPokeCenter]

Houston Baptist and ACU a toss up????

Perhaps in a sport other than football ;)

[ursus arctos horribilis]

This thread is being deleted. Please see the new thread for details.

I actually just merged the two threads and your new details are included right above me here as well as in the first post on the thread for any new people coming in.

I hope that doesn't screw up what you are doing here I just thought there were way too many responses to delete the thing.

[BEAR]

NO problem. I'm sure those who picked above me will just add their score differential to their post by simply editing it.

Thanks Ursus!

I updated my original post with spread

[Catatonic]

Central Arkansas Over Nicholls State +27
McNeese State over Arkansas Tech +37
Southeastern Louisiana over Incarnate Word +31
Abilene Christian over Houston Baptist +25
Sam Houston State over Lamar +10

NOT a LOT OF CLIFFHANGERS THIS WEEK.

Lamar-Sam could be interesting. The rest should be predictable.

[BEAR]

This week will be a matter of who gets the point spread the closest. I've noticed for several weeks that people have been almost copying the other predictions. You're welcome to do that but the ones scoring the most points have actually just guessed and not worried about the contest.

[BEAR]

I updated my original post with spread

Awesome..thanks. Somehow people started guessing without it and I think I recall in the first week asking for the spread. Makes keeping up with it much easier. We all know UCA is the HEAVY favorite over Nicholls ...but....the point spread really separates the knowledgeable from the lucky..xlolx

[RabidRabbit]

Nicholls State @ Central Arkansas +31
Arkansas Tech @ McNeese State +41 at least
Southeastern Louisiana @ Incarnate Word +31 No Lion! Cards suffer again (but not as bad as in Fargo)
Abilene Christian @ Houston Baptist +34 - Could ACU be player to conference title, or just a spoiler?
Sam Houston State @ Lamar +10 The team that showed up in Cheney comes to Beaumont.

[Oldschool Colonel]

No fcs team has had a tougher schedule or more adversity to overcome then Nicholls! If they calm down and play ball they win by 7, if not they lose by 35.

Nicholls by 7
Mcneese by 27
SELA by 45
ACU by 35
Lamar by 8

Yeah Henderson State. Real adversity

Just drop to D2

[Nickels]

Yeah Henderson State. Real adversity

Just drop to D2
Based on a D2 team I watched play recently, a move to D3 or NAIA may be in order.

I was talking more about the fact that our season started with ex-Colonel D-lineman Darrell Brown passing away in an accident. Then Coach Stubbs announcing to the team he was sick and unable to finish the season. Coach Hepola was promoted for two days,then Axman was brought in as intermin.With one practice We were off to Dallas.
Kids don't deal with these things as easy as adults.

That's rough for them, I'll agree to that, yet your performance would have been the same if it didn't happen. You lack the resources to compete with us

Central Arkansas
McNeese State
Southeastern La.
Houston Baptist
Sam Houston State

[TheRevSFA]

My UCA score was off my one point. One freaking point

[BEAR]

IF any of you think Nicholls has given up, you'd be wrong. I was impressed with that team even though it wasn't close, they NEVER gave up. That will pay off for them in the coming years. All respect to their fans that showed up. They've got as much heart as the team.

[FormerPokeCenter]

Nicholls ALWAYS gives McNeese as much as we want and then some....I swear they could be down to 11 players and the freaking game would STILL be a dog fight...
