With all due respect to McKinney...I was not impressed with Norfolk State.  Sitting a few rows behind their bench, they seemed to be either disinterested or crying about something most of the time.  Maybe it is just commonplace in D1 football, but lots of back and forth between teammates too.

Plus, they kind of sucked.  We let off the gas big time in the 2nd half, which may not be the smartest strategy for breaking into the top 25 but is probably the more classy approach.


We were up 34-0 in the first half, final was 44-10.  I don't think we really needed to pull an Oklahoma State to impress people, especially when our second and third team (and some walk-ons were there too I heard) were controlling them too.

Disagree. I was hoping we would win 60-something to nothing.  Even 51 nothing would've been more of a statement to pollsters than 44-10.  It may not be fair, but the poll voters do take into account how lopsided victories are...

I think we can count Arizona out of the Top 25 after that beating.

But we don't need to worry about it; we keep winning and we'll get in soon. It's a matter of when, not if.

I was very impressed with the number of fans that NSU brought to Peden, many more than a lot of our MAC friends bring.  Nice turnout.  Great Fans.  Solid program.  Good luck.

Agreed. Although, it's a pretty sad commentary on the MAC when the largest (non-Marshall) visiting crowds I can remember at Peden are:
- Norfolk State
- Gardner Webb
- Wofford
- Wyoming
