Sagarin has us less that a half point better that SHST by far our weakest opponent. That would make us about a four point favorite at home.

Slow down there, Tex. SHSU has played one game and that was against Arkansas-Monticello, a Division II school.

Yes, and we played UNT and got pasted and lost our star RB. Your point?

Took the words right out of my mouth, blog. However, the Bearkats are coming into this contest fired up about the chances of making more national news by knocking off a Div. 1-A team a la Montana State v Colorado last week.

Oh, no doubt. SHSU is absolutely looking at this game as an opportunity, as they well should. But the point is their statistics and their rankings are not an accurate reflection of where they rank in I-AA.

That is right, but on the other hand I hope our team is not taking your attitude.

Of where we rank in I-AA? hmmm, I know yall are trying to forget, but we are just two years removed from a semifinal appearance in the I-AA playoffs.

89: That was 2 years ago. Last year the 'Kats sucked. The game this Saturday will be the true test of how far the Bearkats have come since last year's 3-8 team under head coach Todd Whitten.
