Posted: Wed Sep 21, 2005 10:53 pmMost analysts and "experts" seem to think wet conditions favor the less talented team, if only because a water-caused miscue (fumble, missed tackle, etc.) could allow a lesser team a chance to make a big play it otherwise might not. Based on the spread, I guess the folks in Vegas think we're the less talented team. Break out the parkas and the hats -- and cheer like hell, for Tulane before the game for their heart and resilience, and for the Ponies to pull out a win!

Posted: Thu Sep 22, 2005 9:47 amAlso, the fact that the wind will be trouble for both kickers kind of negates the field goal situation where we have struggled so much...
Posted: Thu Sep 22, 2005 10:22 amOur kicker negates himself. Maybe the wind will actually help him.
Posted: Thu Sep 22, 2005 12:04 pmuh, sorry. the snapper and the blocking have negated our kicker this year. most of the mishaps don't fall to him.
Posted: Thu Sep 22, 2005 1:52 pmSorry for the confusion, I'm a Tulane fan. We used 3 kickers against Mississippi State and that led to a kickoff out of bounds and a pathetic onside kick that hit the kicker's leg.

Who really gives a flip. Aren't there more important things to worry about right now?
Posted: Fri Sep 23, 2005 5:41 pmGlad to hear that Tulane's Kicker is about as good as SMU's. Should be quite a matchup - I am looking for a 10-7 SMU Win that will include numerous missed FGs on both sides . . .
What is the under on this one anyway? I think I will take it!
