Southland Conference - Week 12 Predictions

[TexasTerror]

Welcome to our annual Southland Conference prediction thread. I will not be keeping track of everyone's results week to week, so you are more than welcome to do your part in helping out! For purposes of Lamar's entrance into the league in 2011, we'll also be including them in our predictions!

Week 12 Game Listing
Southeastern Louisiana at Nicholls (Thursday)
Northwestern State at Stephen F. Austin
Texas State-San Marcos at Sam Houston State
McNeese State at Central Arkansas
Oklahoma Panhandle State at Lamar

Week 12 TT's Predictions & Quick Analysis
Southeastern Louisiana at Nicholls (Thursday) - Southeastern just can not seem to get anything right and it will continue for the Lions on Thursday at Nicholls. Something about this game brings out the best in NICHOLLS

Northwestern State at Stephen F. Austin - The Demons did not do their part to really make the SLC race even more intriguing heading into the final week. Still in it and plenty to play for. Just not up to task. The Lumberjacks have continued to bounce back from their setback against the folks from San Marcos. STEPHEN F. AUSTIN

Texas State-San Marcos at Sam Houston State - When was the last time this game did not have some sort of meaning? Seems it has for the last few years. Game is in Huntsville, last trip by the folks from San Marcos to Huntsville. Hope that SAM HOUSTON STATE treats them right.

McNeese State at Central Arkansas - A few weeks ago, I may have been torn here, but let's realize which team has been playing better at this point. Should be no question either. McNEESE STATE

Oklahoma Panhandle State at Lamar - Woah! A game Lamar is favored in. Enter off a win too, how about that? Langston beat OPSU. Would hope LAMAR does the same.


TT's Predictions All-Time Results
2007 Record: 46-14 (24-4 SLC)

2009 Record: 41-22 (16-12 SLC)
2010 Record: 45-15 (16-8 SLC)
Total: 172-73 (65-42 SLC)

[BEAR]

Southeastern Louisiana at Nicholls - SELA shows up
Northwestern State at Stephen F. Austin - Demons X the Jecks
Texas State-San Marcos at Sam Houston State - Texas State is horrible x2
McNeese State at Central Arkansas- I couldn't care less honestly McNeese fans...the Bear players and coaches have proven that they don't want it. Why should the fans care then. xnonono2x

[GeauxLions94]

Southeastern Louisiana at Nicholls (Thursday) - Colonels look to build for the future after getting a win at Natchitoches last week ... after a season of high expectations, SLU is ready to be put out of its misery and look ahead to 2011 ... only thing to play for in this Bayou battle is the River Bell Trophy and the Colonels have won four of five since the series was resumed in 2005 ... NICHOLLS

Northwestern State at Stephen F. Austin - BDP and Co. gave their best effort in a successful turnaround, but laid an egg against Nicholls ... SFA looks for the league's automatic bid and to retain possession of Chief Caddo ... last regular-season game at the Bryce for Jeremy Moses and he and the Lumberjacks don't want to go out on a sour note ... STEPHEN F. AUSTIN

Texas State at Sam Houston State - Last chance for the Bobcats to salvage a season (can't figure out why it was a bad year) in which its Southland opponents except SFA (still can't figure that one out, but welcome to Southland football) have held them down (0-4 against the Louisiana schools, ouch!) ... next chance for a conference title begins in two years in the "will-it-still-be-there WAC" ... Bearkats have had their successes in 2010 and look for better things in 2011 ... this will be a step in the right direction ... SAM HOUSTON STATE

McNeese State at Central Arkansas - Injury riddled Cowboys have done nothing but win and the Pokes have a chance to share the title with SFA (assuming crazy things happen in Conway or Nacogdoches) ... UCA will tough time moving the football against an active McNeese D ... Matt Viator would get my vote for Coach of the Year if I had a choice ... Cowboys to enjoy Red Beans and Rice on the way home ... MCNEESE STATE

Oklahoma Panhandle State at Lamar - Lamar looks to go into the off-season on a positive note and after a win over South Dakota (which beat Minnesota earlier this year), they should have no trouble in easily disposing OPSU ... LAMAR

[TxState_GO_CATS!]

Southeastern Louisiana at Nicholls--Jeckyl and Hyde meet Jeckyl and Hyde! Who knows what this game will look like, but I will take SLU's defense to contain the Nicholls QB better than TxSt and NW St. could. SLU 31-17

Northwestern State at Stephen F. Austin--What a cool looking trophy! Jacks throttle the Demons and keep the Chief in Nac. SFA 56-14

Texas State at Sam Houston State--Texas State is horrible (x3) ...well this year we are. Down to (maybe) our third string QB, a weakening defense, AWFUL special teams all year, butter fingers Bush, and HORRIBLE coaching...all alienating the fans. If we don't turn things around next season, WAC is going to look stupid for taking us (oh wait...too late LOL). If the same Bearkats that showed up to face Southeastern, Nicholls, and even SFA show up against the Cats, Sam's gonna kill us. Flanders goes for...oh I don't know...300. sure, sounds good. FIRE WRIGHT! Is it baseball season yet? SAM 63-7

McNeese State at Central Arkansas--Well, McNeese is still maybe playing for something, which makes them ripe for an "upset." Kool-Aid Purple Bears win a thrill in Toad Suck Land on a missed XP! UCA 35-34

Oklahoma Panhandle State at Lamar--If Lamar loses to OPSU, everyone should awkwardly walk away from the stadium and forget they ever had a football team. This game shouldn't be close regardless of how much Lamar has struggled this year. But of course, they will find a way to make it interesting. Lamar 42-38.

I almost forgot this week:

Southeastern Louisiana at Nicholls (Thursday) ---- Nicholls has momentum and homefield...

Northwestern State at Stephen F. Austin ---- Not picking...For reasons already known....

Texas State-San Marcos at Sam Houston State ---- Maybe Sam Houston's kicker will bank a 50-yard game-winner off the top of the left upright???? NAAAAH!!

McNeese State at Central Arkansas ---- Pokes have playoff hopes....Bears are apparently losing their spirit and (in some cases) fan support it seems...

Oklahoma Panhandle State at Lamar ---- 2 IN A ROW LAMAR!!!! xsmileyclapx
