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.

Experienced QB?

We have had practically zero experience at the QB position under Hall and it shows. We’ve had a collection of true freshman, little used transfers, walk ons, etc, with one common thread, they had very few college snaps. If we go into another year without getting a seasoned transfer at QB, I will have serious doubts about Hall’s future at USM. Take MSU for example they are bringing in a 2 or 3 year starter from Baylor. Sure he has pedestrian numbers but he has experience, which is huge. The kid knows what its like to be 3rd and 18 against an all out blitz against a stout D1 defense. We’ve got some young guys with good potential, but little experience. That has to change or Hall’s tenure will almost certainly will be short lived.

Quick Hits From Signing Day....

1. There were some immediate needs filled. Especially in the defensive secondary with the transfer additions of James and Pinkney.

2. I still don't think they are done. Look for some transfers to come in at LB.

3. The HS signees are the beat since Hall has arrived on campus. Some could push for playing time immediately. Chris Jones amd John White could both start next season along with Caleb Moore.

4. Jesiolowski and Washington are the 2 sleepers of the class. Jesiolowski has freakish athletic ability and Washington (add about 10 pounds to his frame) has all the makings of a really good every-down back.

5. They did get some help on the OL through JUCO and Portal. I still look for them to add more once bowl season is completed.

Everyone committed signed, sealed, and delivered before 8:30. That's some efficient work by the coaching staff.
