    I know it was just Rice, but pretty excited about this season.

    A lot of players were redshirted last season since we were bowl-ineligible. We started 0-8 but 4 of those losses were by less than 1 score and 2 were in OT. We also finished the season 3-1.

    Looks like we have a QB this year and Keeler seems to have finally embraced the move to FBS. I feel like it will come down to us and Liberty for the conference and we have them at home for the last game of the season.

    If UCF is expecting another New Hampshire game next week, well...

    I don't think the pundits were mostly aware that we had redshirted so many players. I can see us going into that Liberty game at 7-4 or 8-3. I think we play a bowl game this year.

    Mostly I just want to beat TX St so I can shove it in my brother's face. He thinks they have a shot to go undefeated even though they just barely beat a still-FCS Lamar.

    Cautiously optimistic. Looking forward to the next game and getting into conference play.

    Another good win over Hawaii. NMST next week for the 1st conference game before the TXST game at NRG.

    That was a helluva win. Apparently Bowers was literally sold out. Don't know that I've seen that since the Air McNair game against Alcorn State back in the day (which I attended).

    semi finals against Montana in 2011 were pretty crazy (people sitting on the hills).

    NM State looked alright. It wasn't the best. QB threw for under 50% with 2 interceptions. They'll have to play better when they actually face a good team.

    Hoping this isn't all fools gold. Rice is horrible so Hawaii is really their only quality win.

    We will find out a lot this weekend vs. Southwest Texas.

    HOW ABOUT THAT!

    Down 22-0 after 1 and come back to beat Southwest TX 40-39.

    4-1 with UTEP on Thursday

    We've won 7 of the last 9 FBS games.

    5th best team in Texas according to Dave Campbell's rankings. Ahead of such teams as TCU, Baylor and UH - all in the Big 12.

    Never thought I'd see the day...
