Not unless Kathy Ireland, Scott Backula and Sinbad is playing... We need a fied goal kicker bad... You went old school….haven’t thought about that movie in awhile. Jason Bateman was young back then. We could use Kathy for sure. That's an underrated football movie.... Unnecessary Roughness

Surprised that EKU is just a half a point favorite to UNA to start the week... I'm sure it will grow but at this moment it's a coin flip. The spread on points is like 67... Walters lit up our secondary last year and that has been a problem this year as well. Big difference this year is no Powell. Steve, you seem to be a logical EKU fan... what is your true feelings about this one? I think we get beat bad... but we have a new coach and a new attitude, I don't know...

I don't think we get beat bad, but I worry our offensive struggles will continue the rest of the season. We need Driggers to be healthy enough (and good enough) to really help out. If he is, maybe we can keep the ball long enough to help out the defense. I think to win most of our games going forward, we will need some turnovers and to play pretty much flawlessly on D. And again, I don't think we are necessarily a bad team, and certainly improved over last year... I just still think most teams in our conference are better than us.
If I have to make a gut prediction I feel like this game goes (scoring-wise) about like last week. We keep it close through most of the game before a late score or two makes the final look worse.
I'm at least looking forward to taking the kids to the parade tomorrow. Though if you see a guy struggling to contain his 3 year old son, it will possibly be me!

Steve, you seem to be a logical EKU fan... what is your true feelings about this one? I think we get beat bad... but we have a new coach and a new attitude, I don't know... I'm thinking 45-24 EKU. While our secondary has some issues outside of West Jr, our pass rush really came on the second half last week and we ended up with six sacks including the strip sack with 30 seconds left. SEMO played an umbrella coverage to slow down the passing game and we adjusted and ran for over 200 yards. Thinking you guys are a year away from being a real pain in the backside in conference.

Bookstore had a good day. I met the freshman running back Moodys parents. Nice folks, told them we need him. His dad said yep told him to learn that playbook so he will be ready. He said do y’all cheer. We laughed. We are the loudest people there each game. He and his wife got excited and said they are coming to hang with us. Come on.
Roar Lions!

I'm just hoping we don't get mercilessly monkey-stomped tonight.

Big time atmosphere feeling in here tonight. I’m bummed though, I missed out on a gold rush adidas shirt, didn’t have any larges left.

Well, so far is complete domination by EKU. Lions need some offense quickly.
