Anyone else want TexasTerror to prepare their taxes this year? xthumbsupx

[Dallas Demon]

He may make a good SID one day if he is not already one.

Anyone else want TexasTerror to prepare their taxes this year? xthumbsupx

I'm still young -- have always sent them to my parents who give it to their tax guy. That's going to have to change rather soon...not good at math. Statistics, that's something else...

Kats have a rough time at home against SLC foes...

Home-field disadvantage

Bearkats look to snap three-game Southland losing streak at Bowers
By Cody Stark
Assistant Sports Editor

After starting the season with a pair of wins against two Division II programs, the Bearkats currently find themselves smack in the middle of a four-game skid.

But what is more troubling is Sam Houston State’s Southland Conference losing streak at home. Dating back to last season, the Kats (2-4 overall, 0-2 in SLC) have lost three straight league games at Bowers Stadium, and four in a row if the 2006 loss to Central Arkansas, which wasn’t officially a Southland member yet, is counted.

SHSU has a chance to get back on track at home Saturday when it hosts Northwestern State, and the Bearkats desperately need a win to build some confidence heading into the final stretch of the season.

NSU line steps up when needed most
By Jeff Matthews

(318) 487-6353

NATCHITOCHES -- Northwestern State's offensive line has come up with perhaps its best play of the season when the Demons' needed it most.

NSU has played most of the last two games with one quarterback available, and he has been playing on one leg with an injured knee. With the game plan scaled back, opponents stacked up against the run and protecting the quarterback a must, the line had to come through for the offense to go anywhere.

"We had to play well up front and we did," coach Scott Stoker said. "Any time your quarterbacks get hurt like that, your line has got to step up and play, and I think they have to this point."

This may be the first time I've seen something about tickets in sometime, not sure what the deal is, but it's good news...

Ticket office is opening up early due to limited reserved seats...

Pregame show under way...must inform you now that I have a sporting event to be at that starts at 5 PM, so I'll probably cut out at the half (next week against SFA too, unfortunately...)...

SHSU won toss, defer...NWST gets the ball

SHSU kick off to NWST. NWST returns to NW36, offside on the play.

1-10 NW41 Short yardage pass from Branch to Lawrence (Cobey)
2-8 NW43 Lawrence run to NW48
3-3 NW48 Lawrence to SH48, flag on the play (illegal block, NWST)
3-12 NW39 Branch pass complete to NW46 (J.Brown)

NWST PUNT

[TexasTerror]

1-10 SH05 Poullard 9 yard gain
2-1 SH14 Bomar pass intercepted, returned for a TD (flags on the play)

No news on what happened just yet...a flag during the play and two after. The after was excessive celebration, we're assuming...

Personal foul against NWST during the runback, unsportsmanlike conduct afterwards...why are they counting a TD if a personal foul?

TOUCHDOWN, NWST.

Stats to come

[blackfordpu]

Bomar: 12-22, 192 yards passing, 83 yards rushing, 3 rushing TDs, 1 Int
Poullard: 20 carries, 186 yards, 9.3 YPC, 2 TD
Wells: 2 rec, 55 yards

Kats had 526 total yards.
Kats 3-3 in redzone attempts.

Kats held Demons to 5 of 19 third down conversions.

[TexasTerror]

Glad to see the Kats snapped out of their problems in three categories...

"Explosions" -- Kats finally had some long offensive plays (thank gawd!)
Third Down Conversions -- Defense shows some life on third down and gets necessary stops
Red 'Area' -- Kats score in the red 'area' as Whitten calls it...

[JoshUCA]

Congrats SHSU!

Post-game SHSU press conference is available...

[TexasTerror]

If you watch the post-game press conference, look for Chris Poullard...

Love his postgame interview...

Made sure to credit everyone else whether it Justin Wells or the O-Line for making his TD run possible...

Talked about playing as a team, having Bomar's back after the INT...saying they had to do what they had to do...

His game is based around "my team and the O-Line". Saying he can not do what he needs to do without the rest of the offense...

Class act!

[blackfordpu]

Glad to see the Kats snapped out of their problems in three categories...

"Explosions" -- Kats finally had some long offensive plays (thank gawd!)

The Demons helped with this last season too.
