clt says tickets for the cfc match are $15 and the panthers mnf game are $30

Does CLT know if Mike Hill will make Bobby Lutz face the wall instead oh his fans?

The turnovers have got to be limited. if we play this style of ball we can not have them at the current rate. If we just got a FG out of the INT drive against Maryland we’re down 1 score halfway through the 4th. The game is still in play. We got a horrid INT that ended the game.

You can see the talent and leadership skills but he’s got to do a better job protecting the ball if we’re going to get to 6 wins. Yes the receivers might not be getting clean catches and good separation but we’re turning it over twice per game even with the limited numbers of passes.

Hopefully that improves Saturday because we’re in a world of hurt if we lose the TO battle.

Agreed. Also, like I wrote before the game, Maryland was pretty damn good last year with 3 or 4 losses I noted being elite football teams. Who’s to know right now that they did or didn’t get significantly better this year. We had a real chance for an upset win, but our guys didn’t quite finish like they should have, or ran out of juice.

I don’t expect Georgia State to be at Maryland’s level of talent and depth of talent. We are also at home and we should be improving in all phases after each game; more so than most teams we play. It’s football, and none of that means the 49ers won’t lose by 1 or get blown out.

I do believe sitting Jalon would be a huge mistake. If he turns the ball over twice early or even once foolishly, then I guess. But not starting him or putting a short leash mentality out there is probably not going to improve their chances of winning.

When a head coach commits to a running offense with a dominant defense, that also means he commits to punts establishing winning field position. I was kind of troubled with the halftime interview that we needed to throw more. Obviously he saw Maryland stacking against the run, but with a 14 point lead, I would have doubled down with more runs even if it resulted in more punts. But I ain’t the coach and he knows way more about his team and their opponent than I could ever

Biff went from 3 questions to 300 questions. It was good for them to sit through that and the guys thoughtfully answering questions after a loss they could have won. Congratulations to the big man on the little girl

We can win this game. I’m going to JRS expecting a win and will be very disappointed if we lose.

But if we lose I’m not going to jump off the cliff. To early for that in my mind.

Saturday is a must win for the program to maintain momentum and achieve this years goals. Lose here and dreams of a quick flip are likely off the table. Doesn’t mean we won’t turn it around just means the rebuilding of the program will take more than a single year.

Will Bobby Lutz be at the game?

Will Mike Hill have his back to his fans and fave the brick wall when he takes the field?

Will a Lutz Chant ignite when we see Bobby at the Rich?

We will have a few former basketball players likely hanging out at our tailgate who are in town for the inductions if any of you all want to see a few.

I legit don’t have any white gear with the new logo. Can’t seem to remember there being much of it either at the bookstore.

Most teams still wear home colors during white outs

Most of my white shirts are stained by sauce, ketchup, bike grease or fish blood, or any combination of it.

I don’t wear a lot of white for similar reasons…
