[txphi592]

not sucking tonight.

bush takes it to the cowboys 28yrd line

[MSU_77]

TXSTs defense sucks. What's going on McNeese?

Texas State is playing lights out on offense, and Cowboys can't get their defense off the field.

[txphi592]

TD txstate. 38-14

[TexasTerror]

Bobcats are inconsistent...if they do win, blowout or not...I'm still not sure what to make of them! We'll know more next week...

If MSU loses they would have to win out in order to get 7 DI wins.

[TexasTerror]

Well if this game keeps going like this...

We have the winner's bracket -- UCA vs TXST and consolation game -- McNeese vs SHSU...

[slycat]

Oh man this is getting tense. Can't believe I backed out of going to the game.

[MR. CHICKEN]

TICK TICK..TICK!

[slycat]

Well if this game keeps going like this...

We have the winner's bracket -- UCA vs TXST and consolation game -- McNeese vs SHSU...

This will be a great TV game next week. Another shootout.

[MR. CHICKEN]

T-STATE....INTERFERENCE!

[TexasTerror]

If MSU loses they would have to win out in order to get 7 DI wins.

Not necessarily -- remember, they lost a game due to hurricane. NCAA is going to be lenient. A committee member has said as much and while it has not happened before, they are willing to be lenient. Still think Pokes need to win out to make the playoffs...

[MR. CHICKEN]

1:30...AN' COUNTIN'!

[MR. CHICKEN]

1:08.........TIME STANDS STILL!!

[TexasTerror]

Plenty of interference...do the Bobcats not want to close the door on this one?

[MR. CHICKEN]

FLAGS....YELLAH LAUNDRY.......PIGGY AT DUH TWO!

[MaximumBobcat]

td cowboys...this is brutal

[MR. CHICKEN]

INCOMPLETE................BRAWK!

[slycat]

And the defense rears its ugly head.

They do have 11 games though, it would be very interesting. I agree with you that they will probably need to win out.

[MR. CHICKEN]

56 TICKS LEFT...'BOYS SCORE.....NEED TWO

[MSU_77]

45-42 onside kick coming 56 seconds left.

[TexasTerror]

TOUCHDOWN, McNEESE!

56 seconds left...Fourroux has 5 TDs, 4 in the air and 1 on the ground...Pokes need two-point conversion and will need to get second straight onside kick...

Whitehead gets into the end zone, two-point conversion. 45-42, Bobcats up...56 seconds...

[MaximumBobcat]

onside kick...recovered by the CATS!!!

WOOT

[MR. CHICKEN]

45-42..........55 TICKS LEFT............AWK!

[FargoBison]

onside kick...recovered by the CATS!!!

WOOT

Is that the game or does MSU have some timeouts left?

[patssle]

Well, I came close to my prediction of McNeese coming back to win with them being down 20 points or so.

[slycat]

Lets just wrap it up. Don't want to know what it feels like to be a Lion.

[MR. CHICKEN]

GAME OVERAH..........MCNEESE STATE.........THUD!

Well, you would have had to have given away 30 points on special teams and another 7 for roughing the passer...not sure anybody else could duplicate that feat.

[msupokes1]

Just got back from the McNeese games. There is no way McNeese is top 20 with that defense. That was just pitiful.

With this result, there's a really good chance there will be 3 SoCon teams in the Top 5. Elon will more-than-likely move to #3. Also, Wofford could move on up to #5.

Thanks Texas State. xthumbsupx

[Bobcat94]

Way to go STATE! WOW! I'll eat crow this week...:D

[TheRiver]

HA HA HA great win

[txstatebobcat]

Way to go STATE! WOW! I'll eat crow this week...:D

No kidding! I predicted a 55-40 loss by the bobcats. That crow taste mighty good.

[McNeese75]

Congrats to the Bobcats. Their skill players carried the night. George, Bush and Luke all had a great game. It's going to be interesting in the league from here on out as it does not appear anyone has a defense worth a plug nickle xlolx

[Appguy]

I still have Wofford above Elon. At least it will be settled in 2 weeks with a HUGE game.

Ask McTailGator.

[Retro]

Congrats to the Bobcats..xbowx You guys came to play and really dominated our defense!
I'm happy our offense rallyed and never gave up, but we need a defensive overhaul from the top down.... The only way Mcneese is going to win this conference is to out score everyone so next week should be very interesting with another high powered offense..xoopsx

[Kid Dakota]

WOW this is a suprise, but coming off the emotional win on the road last week, all I can say is WOW. Don't get down on your team, you have a damn good team in them Cowboyz. It is a long season, the Rabbits pissed somethings down their leg last week that should have won the game. BUT in the real world we lost so we move on. This is just a bump in the road, good luck Cowboys here on out and great job Bobcats and that is why we play the games "ON ANY GIVEN SATURDAY".

[crossfire07]

Gosh, I sure hate to see the McGators lose. I wonder if they are as good at making excuses as they are at bragging?.xlolx :p

every team has people that like to mouth off. so what! just like sfa has you. as for as making excuse, you were probably making alot of them last year MR. WE DIDN'T WIN A GAME. you probably had at least 11 of them so get off of it about making excuses. no msu fan is going to get on here and make an excuse for the butt kicking behind the shed we got tonight. NONE.

[KleinTx05]

WOW just got back from Lake Charles ...Man i tell you what a game!!! The inital serge of the Pokes scared the HELL outta me ...i thought we were in for a long nite. Our boys buckled down and handed it to them ...Them Cowboys are tough tho ...gotta give it to them, they will fight you to the endxnodx

But Today the better team wonxthumbsupx xsmiley_wix

EAT 'EM UP CATS!!!xbowx

[msupokes1]

But Today the better team wonxthumbsupx xsmiley_wi

I don't know about that. I think last night the team that came to play and brought the most heart won.

It is either going to be a real fun game to watch or a real ugly game to watch.

[JohnStOnge]

Well, if there was any doubt that McNeese has some serious problems on defense, it was erased last night. If McNeese is going to have any shot to make the post season there's a lot of pressure on the offense to carry the team. And if they're going to do that they're going to have to play with fewer mistakes.

One pattern that has developed is that McNeese has committed more penalties and been penalized more yards than each of its 5 opponents this season.

Last night I think a key point in the game after Texas State made one of the few obvious unforced mistakes it made on the night. The Bobcats had a guy drop a TD pass then were stopped inside the McNeese five on fourth down with the score tied 14-14. McNeese moved the ball crisply downfield to about the TSU 35 and were called for illegal motion on first down. Then Todd Pendland carried the ball down to about the TSU two where a fumble was called and TSU recovered.

But even if a fumble hadn't been called, there was a penalty against McNeese on the play and I think it was a major one. So even if they hadn't fumbled to stop that drive they'd have committed two consecutive first down penalties to put themselves in a very bad down/distance situation.

And that kind of thing is happening to them a lot. Texas State did commit a spate of interference penalties late in the game to let McNeese back into the game but they played very disciplined ball without penalties or turnover while they siezed control of the game and ran out to a 38-14 lead.

Then when Texas State finally did commit a turnover...an interception that was returned to about their 3 yard line with the score 38-20 in the third quarter so that there was plenty of comeback time left...McNeese fumbled the ball back to the Bobcats on the first play as the back was preparing to cross the goal line.

It's a shame the defense is playing so poorly so that the offense has no margin for error but that's the situation.

[TheRiver]

Way to Go Bobcat, they came to play and played a good clean game and won against the #3 team.

[SFA 71]

...know a lot about me & what I have done in the past.... considering you only joined this board this month. You must be a real psycho. Usual McTailgator blather.xthumbsupx

[txphi592]

McNeese fans,

What was the official attendence of the game last night?

[TexasTerror]

McNeese fans,

What was the official attendence of the game last night?

12,304...

[txphi592]

Looked like 9,000~ max on the feed..

[JohnStOnge]

Looked like 9,000~ max on the feed..

I was at the game and I don't think around 12,000 seems unrealistic. The stadium has about 17.5 K capacity so you're talking about roughly 2/3 of the seats being occupied.

[Cat79]

As a Bobcat Fan I can say that 12-13,000 was realistic. The pressbox side was full. The student side was a little light compared to usual.

That's probably why, all I saw was the student side.

[KleinTx05]

I don't know about that. I think last night the team that came to play and brought the most heart won.

Is that what you say everytime Texas State comes to "The Hole". Since you wanna get technical & not give us any credit for DOMINATING all but the last five minutes, i ask you ... WHEN ws the last time The Pokes beat us in Lake Charles ? ...Better yet only ONE victory in the last what ...4-5yrs... & that was last yr. With 9 seniors on defense & 8 on offense, ranked 3rd n the country, you tell me who should have came into the game with the Biggest heart. Much respect to Poke nation but the Better team WON last nite ... end of story

Eh, games over, no use arguing about it now. xtwocentsx

How about both teams just focus on winning out, so the SLC can get more than just the autobid into the playoffs this year! xnodx xnodx xnodx

No argument here. TX State was the better team last night. They came better prepared. I think TX State played there best game and McNeese didn't. TX St. gets the win McNeese goes home the loser.

[txphi592]

I am impressed with the Mcneese fans. Nothing but class, goodluck against sam.

We got our asses kicked. Especially our defense.

Just looked at the latest NCAA stats. We lead the nation in total offense and scoring offense and our QB is way up there in passing efficiency. It's a shame we don't have a semblance of a defense. We might be dangerous. :(

As it is, we got our butts kicked Saturday night by Texas St. and they deserve all the credit in the world for doing it. The coaches had a good game plan and their players executed it very well.

Congrats to the Bobcats!!
