He seems pretty young to be coming in this year. He left high school to go to Ann Arbor after his freshman year and spent two years at Ann Arbor so, if I'm figuring right, agewise he's a high school senior this year. Must be physically mature and talented beyond his years.

Would love to be there in person, but look forward to watching it in HD down here in Kansas City (will be doing a little switching back and forth to the Michigan game, hoping they can the other ND). Was able to see the Valpo game in person and plan on driving up for the EW game and Vermont series next month. I think our two QB's are the real deal, regardless of how they do the next 3-4 weeks; may take them a while to grow into the job as they gain experience against some top-ranked teams. There's bound to be some tough lessons learned the hard way.

FYI, we also put up 41 against FBS San Diego St.

That'd be great. Where did you see it?

Anyone hear how serious the injuries to Walker and Ratelle are? Needless to say, we need them both for SDSU.

Now, don't go getting big-headed on us!

I agree that it probably wasn't any worse than prior years, especially when you consider the much tougher competition that we faced last season. As you said, our passing game was so good (plus, we were playing from behind in several games), that we relied much more heavily on it than on our ground game.

I think Coach K. wants the shutout to make a season-opening statement: Sioux 45 Valpo 0

That's what I say!

I'm with you--FCS is what I'm hoping for. Has been great having that option in the past.

Thanks much for taking the time to pass along your observations. I see no mention of Shaugabay in your summary. Did he not play or did he just not stand out during the time that you observed?

Sounds like they're getting at least $20 million in private funding, also, for a total of at least $44 million. Don't think you get much of a building these days for $24 million, sad to say.

Wow, that was quick! Thanks.

The front page of Sioux Sports hasn't updated since last evening. Anyone else having the same problem?

Thanks. Didn't remember the 2000 game.

I was at the game at KU two seasons ago. When was the other? Sorry, don't remember.

Not the kind of character player that we want to build the team around or even have on the team.

No need to leave. Your opinions are just as welcome as anyone's. Ignore the bashers.

I'm thinking Iowa St., Kansas, or Kansas St. We've scheduled them in other sports and so have somewhat of a relationship with them. I'm with some of the others, though, in wishing it were a Minnesota or an Iowa.

Possible, since defenses will be keying on Hardin, and Golladay and the other receivers will benefit. But I think Hardin will adjust and will still get his. Sell.

I believe we also lose McGill.

That's great news about the Mo. State game for those of us down in this neck of the woods; for me, this will only be a two and a half hour drive.

You know what they say about Newark, don't you? Ans: It's not a nice place to visit, but you wouldn't want to live there, either.

Probably Campbell or Ruemmele; I'm guessing Campbell.
