Hey Pride, way to bring us down with something substantive. ;)


As always, I/we love this stuff.... thank you.

If the defensive accomplishments were as impressive as the offensive, we win games.

I was glad to see McKinney get his touchdown today.
He has been misused for years as a special teams kamikaze (and a great one, but was being wasted at tight end), and it was really cool to see him hit paydirt today.
Congrats, Andrew, and thanks for everything you've given to the program and to all of us PonyFans.

However, he should be playing defense

If Robinson hadn't had his "obligatory one dropped long bomb per game" just think what his stats would be.

I hope he still thinks of himself as a work in progress and doesn't think he's already arrived.

I highly doubt he feels he has already arrived. He has caught enough big plays to be excited about him, and dropped enough for him to know that he's got plenty of work to do.

"The Mustangs managed just 12 yards of total offense in the
momentum-changing third quarter, something that coach June Jones said just isn't acceptable in a close game"

Say Pride, are there any stats on dropped catchable passes?

Only 5 of 14 third down conversions were allowed. That is a big improvement.

Lowest point total allowed this season.

Careful - the naysayers might start to think you believe there's reason for optimism.

Even though both of your stats are legitimate and valid ... and encouraging.

Well I would say there are signs of life and hope for another win or two this season, but that is about the extent of my actual optimism.

Tulsa will have a field day.

sure, lowest point total.... against a team averaging just 15 points per game. In other words, they more than doubled their season average.

Did you notice how many of their touchdowns came on 3rd and long plays?
