They just might be desperate enough to invite Hicks!

Speaking of QBs I saw Gilbert got called up as a backup for the Panthers while Cam is out.

Yes. My son and I were there for the Hawaii Bowl in 2009. One night a bunch of us staying at the hotel went over to watch the men's basketball team playing nearby.

I was sitting at the hotel bar that night
With a group of Mustang fans and one of the cheerleaders came up and said hey there's more than a football game going on here you guys need to come support the basketball team. We all loaded up in some bus and went to the game.

Were you in that bus?

Yes. As I recall the games were played at the University of Hawaii campus.[/quote]
Bring back any memories ?

Nice picture. The only times I went to Hawaii was for our two bowl appearances there. Terrific trips. And it didn't hurt that we won both of those games bigly.

What a joy those Hawaii Bowls were! We may rag on JJ for leaving us in the lurch, but he had those boys prepared to win those games.

I've been back five or six times since then. I love the Hawaiian Islands Especially the Big Island Kona side specifically Hapuna Beach.

I wonder if JJ misses riding his Harley around Oahu the Victory lap. Kind of cold in Canada.

The TCU DB should have easily scored but slowed down dancing around instead of heading straight to the endzone and embarrassingly allowed an Offensive Tackle-No. 71-to run him down at the 11 on the 2 point conversion attempt-but it wouldn't have been allowed anyway because the guy in the Suit was called for referee interference for going on the field and tripping over the first down chain. Hilarity ensued. TCU ends up winning it on FG for a thrilling 10-7 Overtime victory that included 9 interceptions


Apparently it was TCU Assistant AD/SID Mark Cohen

Actually, the score would have counted and the game would have been over. That was a live-ball foul with the enforcement being on the succeeding spot. Thus, why TCU started on the 40 and not the 25.

Temple got mauled by Duke today.

But add another word: happened. They were actually in a bowl. I've always wondered whether I'd rather my team miss a b owl completely, or get in one by the skin of our teeth, and get mauled, or embarrassed. They got embarrassed, but they won a bowl game.

Our high school commitment Brewer having a good game for Baylor.

Appears that game is pretty well attended by an enthusiastic crowd for a who cares game between two 6-6 teams

Sure wish he was ours. Brewer is 11-13 passing. Chewing up VandyΓÇÖs defense.

Both teams were missing key starters (Temple RB and DB, Duke all over the D) but DukeΓÇÖs depth was better. No idea why Temple was so good on O 1H and so wretched 2H. Manny Diaz is a good hire so maybe he can figure it out.

Brewer throws for almost 400 yards and runs for over 100. Hurts that he didn't come to SMU but I guess Chad was right about him.

I know most on this site hate the state of Arkansas, and our next FB opponent is Arkansas State, but ASU is playing in the Arizona Bowl tomorrow (their 6th or 7th in a row) and there is a side story about Coach Blake AndersonΓÇÖs wife that is very touching. She has breast cancer but after thinking she was clean for about a year, it has returned and with a vengeance. She is in pretty rough shape but insisted on making the trip to Tucson to be with the team. Like most coaches wives, the players become like children and she knew she wanted to enjoy what time she could with them.

I will be rooting for Arkansas State because they have a program that is building like I hope Sonny will build with us. With the added resource of the Dallas area to offer there is no reason we cannot excel if we can have coaching consistency and a team ΓÇ£familyΓÇ¥ like they do at Arkansas State.

Make no mistake. I want to be at a higher level than Arkansas State and think we can achieve that. But for this weekend I am going to be their fan and hope we can continue to progress and catch and pass their level of play.
