Why the Southland will come down to Demons and Kats again

Great article from the Huntsville Item on the 2005 Southland outlook.

Barfield: It's Demons, Kats again in '05
By Jason Barfield/Sports Editor

The consensus around the Southland Conference seems to be the Northwestern State Demons are the clear-cut favorites to win the league this year, and why not?

The team is absolutely loaded on defense with six starters on the first team All-SLC alone. Plus they feature one of the top return men in the nation in Toby Zeigler. On offense, the Demons get back starting quarterback Davon Vinson for his third campaign under center. He has first-team All-SLC receiver Derrick Doyle and second-teamer Zeigler at his disposal. In the backfield, Vinson will have Shelton Sampson to hand the ball off to. Last season Sampson played in the shadow of Derrick Johnese, but still carried for 678 yards and ran for a team-high 11 touchdowns.

It is clear to see why the Demons are picked to repeat as Southland Conference champs once the season rolls around. The rest of the league is not as easy to read.

Smells like some home cookin to me. Is this your school paper or the city paper?

Regardless, the Huntsville Item is nothing more than toilet tissue. We're not "San Marcos" and they have the most retarded journalism standards that I've ever seen (see "San Marcos" when referring to Texas State) AND...he forgot to mention we have almost ALL of our starters back. Sounds like some slanted journalism to me...

But whatever. Guess everyone is entitled to their opinion, right?

"San Marcos" how cute that is... sounds the same as when aTm calls Texas "TU" you guys are all d-bags and I hope you all rot in hell! ok maybe not rot in hell...

[TexasTerror]

Anyone else find it funny that the San Marcos fishwrap used the Huntsville Item story in their paper? And they continue to berate our newspaper in H'ville? I guess they realize talent when they see it...

If you want to go by what Newspaper writers say, then Wait till Gary Laney of the Lake Charles American Press makes his predictions. As far as Beat writers, he's the most objective in the SLC and the most knowledgable.

The Lake Charles paper wrote a great story on SHSU HC Todd Whitten last week. Good guy!

I hope you are talking about the Lake Charles writer because Whitten has a mark or two from what I have heard...

[Sam_Kats]

Right...we should listen to the TSU fans when it comes to having a reputable coach!!! Give me a break. Forget all the articles & predictions...they mean SQUAT. Let's play ball.

A little smiley at the end of your insults would go a long way. (like this :) )
