Thank for the link. I was wondering about the SLC thing and requiring a purchase.

[TexasTerror]

You'd think the SLC would do it for free...especially if UCA got permission. BearFan101 says Ludlow gave them permission.

As long as we have an avenue to listen! McNeese had some UNC and ESPN folks calling in...

I forgot about this site..how brilliant am I?

Anyway. UCA and in-state opponent Henderson tee it off tomorrow night in Conway.

Might be closer than people think. We are a little banged up at WR and OLine I think. We have a few transfers on D. Henderson has 20+ transfers all over the place and a very decent offense.

But a packed house of Purple and Gray ought to rule the day before our matchup in Conway vs. UC Davis next Saturday night in Conway.

[TexasTerror]

41 transfers? What's the breakdown on where from and all that?

Seems like one of the SWAC schools -- they just bus'em in!

[Bear Fan 101]

Henderson's head coach I believe had 2 stints as a head coach at Juco's or something along those lines.
The Reddies's starting QB tomorrow will be a transfer from Northwestern St. Henderson has a 2 time all-american defensive back who is in the top 10 in several career NCAA categories I think. I thikn Coach Conque said it best with their transfers, and how stout their D has been the past 2 seasons, he mentioned we knew their schemes, but you dont know how their transfers will settle in and play!

Great White Buffalo, one of the posters at D2messageboard, posts his predictions every week. He is rarely wrong. Listed below is what he says about the LSC v. SLC games. (and Texas A&M Kingsville vs. North Dakota)


As the young squaw opens the flap of the tee-pee the vision of the Great White Buffalo is clear. The dreams have been strong--no firewater has dulled the head--no peace pipe clouds the eye. The vision is strong and clear. As the Great White Buffalo looks to the sky--the smoke signals are as war clouds as many tribes go to battle. May all braves return from battles unharmed.

Great are the number of Cats in the battles: Bearkats battle Tigers--Wildcats hunt Bearcats--Rams chase Bobcats--Lions seek Demons. There is much cat crap to not have moccasins smell.

The Tiger will charge the Bearkat. The Bearkat shall show no fear in battle with Tiger. The strength of the BearKat is to much for the Tiger. The Tiger will flee and run with the wind to his home.

The Rams have strong horns and run from no foe. The Bobcat is fast and has sharp teeth. The Bobcat will run fast--many times around the Ram. The Ram can not find the clever Bobcat. The Ram shall return with no Bobcat pelt.

There is much Voodoo in the Demon. The way to the battle is winding and dark. The moon shines not on the battle field. The King of the beast can not find the Demon. The Demon will strike from the dark and the Lion will be hurt. The demon will strike many times, the roar of the Lion shall be silent.

The Fighting Sioux await the Big Pig. The Sioux have hurt many friends of the Great White Buffalo. The Jav's are big and strong. The Sioux will use many arrows to hurt the pig. The Big Pig can not escape the sharp arrows of the Fighting Sioux. Many Sioux shall fall--the Jav's will have no feathers from the headband of the Sioux. Jav's will fight another day--there will be no victory this day for Big Pigs.

Their big O-lineman from Istrouma in Baton Rouge, Louis West, signed with us back in '04...wasn't eligible and had to go JC...had to go D-II route from there...he'll play in the NFL.

[Purple Pride]

It's all good. We've known them since the old AIC days. We were all little turds, but their day of reckoning has come. 41 out of 76 on the roster are transfers? Come on now, that's diggin' deep.

I think (hope) we'll hang 60 on them just on principle.
