This is a fan board. "Expert" analysis is a feature, not a bug.

Looking forward to another year on the Boulevard with family and friends.
Hugs are free at the BUS STOP.

DL is bigger - I hope that means what the above say. We will have to see.
OL has some depth and QB got better last year. YEAH Show me the points.

Chad Morris and Staff - ALL OF THEM... are kick [deleted] coaches. Pray for a 15 year run with this group and ALL will be happy.

Expectations this year. It's sorta like riding the Iron Rattler at Six Flags: Up, Down, Up, and another curve, etc. But what's up with Vegas oddsmakers giving SMU the best odds 200-1 in the AAC to win the Nat'l Championship? Houston, South Florida = 300-1. Maybe they know something I don't... duh!

I think it is Five Flags now.

Mrydel, you are worth the price of admission.

The national effort to remove Confederate statues and symbols, after the fatal clash between protestors in Charlottesville, Virginia, has reached Six Flags Over Texas. TMZ Live reported on its live show Thursday that the Arlington theme park had a Confederate flag as one of the six flags flying over the park's drive-thru entrance.

By Friday, the park replaced all of the flags in the entranceway with American flags. The flag removed is the first flag of the Confederacy, also known as the Stars and Bars, which displays a blue square with a circle of seven stars (representing the seven Confederate states who fought to secede from the Union in the Civil War) next to two red stripes and one white stripe.

Thanks DFFH,

I thought he was joking, then my cousin just emailed me this.

That's why I came back to PFs.

But you can still send me the price of admission.

Arkansas State is the one that scares me. A game we should win, but they aren't a pushover. If we lose that it may be very difficult to get to a bowl.

I concur

[Stallion]

Main expectation: Bowl Game
6-7 wins -I'll go with 7-5

[Rayburn]

Seems like 6 to 7 wins and a bowl bid is a reasonable expectation for the Ponies this season. I'll go with that.

Anything less would be a disappointment.

Arkansas State lost by 7 at Nebraska. They had two tries to tie it up from the 12 yard line on the last 2 plays of the game. Almost 500 yards of offense against the famed Nebraska "Black Shirts".
