The Never-Ending Question for USM Football.

Before the seasons started, how many of us contemplated the status of our OL? For me, it seems like several years. This year is no exception. Has Hall thought it out, and has he done enough recruiting in this area? We have 14 on the roster and three more coming in. Are there enough players to field a line that can successfully pass and rush block? Do we need to add two more?

As Heath has pointed out, good OL players are a premium, and their development takes time. Several players have paid their dues and should be able to contribute this coming year. The question is how talented they are. There are three 6’7” giants that sure seem as though they are capable of at least hiding the QB.

The answer to all questions will be realized in September 2024. Adding two more good ones to the roster will almost ensure a better OL than we have had in years.

Can Texas State prevent a total disaster for the low SBC?

The SB is bad. I have said it before, and this year's bowl games prove it. They have failed to dominate in games against no-name schools. SBC is now 4-7 in bowl play, but TS can make it seem a little better with a win. I hated going down to this conference, but I guess the money is better, but there is no prestige at all. The shameful part is the fact we are next to last in it. Come on, Texas State, get'em.

Merry Christmas!!!

“Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.”

Isaiah 7:14

Let us today go down to Bethlehem, and in company with wondering shepherds and adoring Magi, let us see him who was born King of the Jews, for we by faith can claim an interest in him, and can sing, “Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given.” Jesus is Jehovah incarnate, our Lord and our God, and yet our brother and friend; let us adore and admire. Let us notice at the very first glance his miraculous conception. It was a thing unheard of before, and unparalleled since, that a virgin should conceive and bear a Son. The first promise ran thus, “The seed of the woman,” not the offspring of the man. Since venturous woman led the way in the sin which brought forth Paradise lost, she, and she alone, ushers in the Regainer of Paradise. Our Saviour, although truly man, was as to his human nature the Holy One of God. Let us reverently bow before the holy Child whose innocence restores to manhood its ancient glory; and let us pray that he may be formed in us, the hope of glory. Fail not to note his humble parentage. His mother has been described simply as “a virgin,” not a princess, or prophetess, nor a matron of large estate. True the blood of kings ran in her veins; nor was her mind a weak and untaught one, for she could sing most sweetly a song of praise; but yet how humble her position, how poor the man to whom she stood affianced, and how miserable the accommodation afforded to the new-born King!

Immanuel, God with us in our nature, in our sorrow, in our lifework, in our punishment, in our grave, and now with us, or rather we with him, in resurrection, ascension, triumph, and Second Advent splendour.
