Sam Houston @ ACU - Week 11

[Daytripper]

Both teams are 5-4 and long shots for a playoff spot. ACU is trying to extend their winning streak to 4 games. SHSU is trying to bounce back from a heartbreaking loss to UCA.

As much as I would like to pick my Bearkats, I just don't see it this week.

If Eric comes back and looks like he did against UIW, the Kats could win this game and make the playoffs.

Ok Bearkats, I picked you this week. Don't screw me over...

Are you ****ing stupid???? Didn't you see post #3?

Thought it was fake news since it didn’t contain the official POD Knows #BookIt seal of approval.

Another week of flipping the coin....ACU is tough to beat at home. Which Bearkat team will show up?

I don't know what injuries Sam or ACU has but I'll have to go with ACU.

ACU played defense throughout the whole game against us. Sam's defense had hands on hips nearly halfway through the third. I know it's not a big reason to pick a team but it's something ACU can tangilbly use to win. Worked for us. xlolx

Their hand were on their hips because our lousy offense kept going 3 and out the entire 2nd half. If we get Schmid back healthy this week, we have a shot.

IF. But I honestly think it may be too late for your playoff hopes.

[McNeese75]

Really? After the pass UIW got last year into the playoffs? Hell, it apparently is never too late.

[Daytripper]

Well, if we finish 8-4 with conference wins vs. Nicholls, UIW, McNeese and ACU and (I hate to use this term) good losses to UCA and North Dakota, I think our resume is pretty good. We also had a very close loss to our FBS opponent. All losses were close and the only really bad loss was Lamar.

FIFY. But your lifeline does run out this Saturday. You and SLU are teetering on the edge.

[POD Knows]

Do I hear a @#BookItThere is a finite amount of #BOOKIT karma available, no need to waste it on these types of games.

[POD Knows]

Picking Southland games is almost as difficult as my wife picking a restaurant.Yep, I bet I am well under .500 on the games in this conference. I should go back and check but my track record this year in this conference has to be way worse than any other conference out there.

[Outsider1]

It's a coin toss, but we are at home. Which team comes out of the bye more prepared??

[Bison56]

I picked Sammy because they have better fans.xthumbsupx

[Daytripper]

We are 5-4 currently with three more games to play (ACU, NWST, HBU), so if we win out we will be 8-4.

Do you think the playoff committee will take into consideration your D2 win?

[BEAR]

I've got an idea. Let me start an SLC playoff thread so we can discuss all the teams options so we can get this thread back on track.

[F'N Hawks]

Do you think the playoff committee will take into consideration your D2 win?

NAIA win.

[Daytripper]

Do you think the playoff committee will take into consideration your D2 win?

No. But I was simply being mathematically accurate with our win-loss total. I didn't specify just D-1 wins.

[Outsider1]

I was able to watch a little bit of our practice yesterday afternoon, which I think I shouldn't always do. I hate when I see good things in practice because it doesn't always pan out come game day. Although it is good seeing them put in the work and game plan. We look to have most everyone healthy and excited. We will see what happens. Saturday weather in Abilene looks to be partly cloudy and 72 degrees with only a 10% chance of rain (wind only around 8mph). How can you beat that??

Perfect football weather. I am hoping for a well played, competitive game with no major injuries. Whoever wins still has playoff dreams. The loser will be staying at home.

+1, this will be an interesting final stretch....

Safe travels Bearkats, the cold rain is finished here and should be sunny by tomorrow :)

Wish I could go, but I will be watching. FYI, the attachment doesn't work.

I don't know why I have been having troubles with attachments on AGS lately. I have tried several computers but no luck.

[FormerPokeCenter]

Size matters, but with AGS attachments, the relationship is inverse. Try reducing the file size....

[Daytripper]

The Wildcats come out strong to take a 10-0 lead, but Sammy's defense gets them back into it. SHSU 14 ACU 10 at the half.

[Daytripper]

SHSU 17 ACU 10 - 11:34 left in third.

Sammy Defense is the real deal

[Daytripper]

Yes they are. But we can't do anything without our starting QB, Schmid. It's a shame that we couldn't have paired this defense with one of our Briscoe-led offenses.

that was a different QB today?

[Outsider1]

And we pooped our diapers like an infant who just ate a laxative. No matter how good your defense was. We crumpled...good teams don't do that.

[Outsider1]

Brock started, but then Schmidt came in and picked our sorry ass secondary apart. Even when Schmidt went back out we sucked.

[katss07]

I missed the first two drives. Did Brock really start?

I could be wrong, but I saw him out there early on before I saw Schmidt out there. Schmidt wasn't even listed on the 2 deep. I figure the whole thing was a head game.

[Daytripper]

I think Schmid started. Brock came in when he got hurt.

Schmid started. He came out in the 2nd half with cramps.

[Daytripper]

We are a completely different team when Schmid is out there. I can't figure out Brock. He was really good last year and seems to have regressed. Even when healthy he looks lost.
