Actually it was Crowe who "resigned" (Broyles had a lot to do with
Crowe's decision).  And Kines (not Hine as I've been writing) who was
hired to replace him.  I've since done some talking to some Arkansas
folk and the good money says that if Kines doesn't work out (say 6-4 the
rest of the way) that Ray Perkins, who is now coaching at Arkansas State
may be offered the job.  The good money does not risk a prediction as to
whether Perkins would accept the job.  For his part, Perkins has been
putting a "support Joe Kines line" out of Jonesboro.

I haven't heard a lot about it this week (yet), but after the
Pigskin Classic there was a lot of talk about A&M's easy 
schedule.  I know there were a few cases of A&M actually being
lowered in some polls, and why?  Because they "only" beat 
Stanford by 3 points, and didn't look real impressive doing it.

Well, Stanford was ranked at 17 at the time, and is still in the
top 25.  And even though LSU isn't ranked now, I don't think
anyone would consider a road game in Baton Rouge a cakewalk...
I think winning two road games over Stanford and LSU is at least
a little respectable...  This week it's Tulsa, who went 10-2 with
a bowl victory last year (and according to some Kal fans, that 
*really* matters), and opened this season with a win over Houston.

After this weekend's first full schedule of games, I decided to 
look at some of the real "power" schedules...  I left out the 
conference matchups (Alabama/Vanderbilt, FSU/Duke, etc.) because 
these games are unavoidable (the Aggies get SMU, TCU, etc).

Here's what I came up with (there are probably others that I
missed, but I just wanted to point out some obvious ones): 

                 Sept. 5             Sept. 12
                 ---------------     --------------------
Notre Dame       Northwestern
Penn State       Cincinnati          Temple
Nebraska         Utah                Middle Tennessee St.
Colorado         Colorado St.
Clemson          Ball St.
California       San Jose St.
NC State         Appalachian St.
Tennessee        SW Louisiana
Miami                                Florida A&M
Washington                           Wisconsin
Oklahoma                             Arkansas St.
UCLA                                 Fullerton St.
Ohio State                           Bowling Green
Georgia Tech                         Western Carolina


Ok, I'm not saying A&M plays the world's toughest schedule.  I am
saying it's not as bad/any worse than some of the other top 25
teams.  And if your answer is "well, A&M plays in the SWC", well,
I say your conference has patsies too...  Besides, everyone should
agree that the emotional aspect of conference games makes many of 
them that appear to be walks on paper turn out to be tough games.

Anyway, this sounds like whining, so I'll quit.

My first reaction after Ismail hauled in the bomb was that Graves should
just 'take a knee' and end the game.  But the offense had gotten really
pumped up and I think to take away the touchdown attempt would have been
unfair to the players.  If we had been up by a larger margin I would feel
differently.  Would you have felt like we were taunting you if we didn't
run a play?  Sort of like 'yeah, we know we could score, we don't need
to prove it?'.

I definitely do NOT think that Coach P was trying to run up the score.

The 24-21 score definitely WAS indicative of the closeness of the game.
The two-point conversion was initially questioned by Jackson/Griese, but
after the replay they agreed that he got his elbow under the ball and
that it was a good catch.

I didn't see the Miss St game, but if this is a down year for the 'Horns,
you ain't got nothin' to worry about.  Syracuse couldn't stop the combination
of Pinkney/Adrian-watzisname (excuse my brain-fade) for 3 full quarters.
While I don't think SU's secondary is much to get excited about, they are
decent, and were victimized for most the game.  The problem is definitely
Gardere...he hurt the offense quite a bit.  We had some articles about
the Morenz kid...when will he be ready?

I have to argue about the line.  Syracuse and it's option rely quite heavily
on the fullback to set other things up.  Texas did an awfully good job
stuffing the middle runs.  All our offense came on wide runs and passes
to the wide receivers.  I thought Texas did an outstanding job screwing up
the option.  It seemed that there was always somebody in Grave's face as
soon as he turned down the line.

The Miami Hurricanes have dedicated the Iowa game to the victims of Hurricane 
Andrew. The wednesday after the hurricane Coach Dennis Erickson moved the 
Hurricanes practice north to Vero Beach after Greentree practice field was
almost levelled and covered in debris. Emotionally it has been a bad time for
the Canes. 2 players had their homes in Homestead destroyed. Dennis Erickson's
home in South Dade was so badly damaged that his wife and son had to move into
his office and 2 assistant coaches homes were also severely affected. President
Ted Foote III had his beachfront property ruined by the storm surge. The
beautiful UM campus looks like a war zone. Being a priority power was restored
to the University pretty quickly but the areas around it are shrouded in
darkness. In the midst of all this tragedy and destruction will the Hurricanes
be able to rise emotionally for tomorrow's game? In the past adversity hass
always brought out the best in them and for the thousands suffering in Dade
County 3 hours of exciting, winning and emotional football by their beloved
Canes will be a soothing balm for their wounds.

Yeah, BYU and SDSU lost defensive starters.

Two guys in the secondary went down in the 2nd half, one [lineman] in the
first half. Luginbill used 21 players in all on defense. Thats a 
lot of reserves who were thrust in against Drage [he is *damn* good]
and Rex.

Both defenses were pretty banged up, and both were playing on 4 days
rest. SDSU has 15 days off before they play at UCLA. That helps ...

I questioned the Gators drop of two notches the week before when

I _hope_ UT takes A&M with them to the Big 10, but I'm not counting
on it. The rumor last year was that the Pac-10 might have OK'ed UT
alone, but not Texas A&M. Supposedly, A&M didn't have the right
"image," and it's athletic programs _overall_ were considered very
strong. While I agree that the women's programs overall aren't that
great, they do seem to be getting better, and if the basketball
program can make some improvements (OK, major improvements), their
men's program will be strong _overall_ (great football and good
baseball already exist). 

Besides, it would be nice to have a conference foe
within driving distance... what's the closest Big 10 school to
Texas, anyway? This move seems a little crazy--I also thought
the SEC was more likely.

the game last year and it appeared to me as if he did not have much of an

I don't think Cooper's game plan changed a bit during the entire game.  He 
never really did "open up" the offense.

What the Buckeyes did show was that they are susceptable to the deep pass and 
that their front seven gets tired in the fourth quarter.  On offense, it was 
appearent that Kirk Herbstreit should not throw the ball down field.  He did 
well on throws underneath the coverage and on out patterns, but as soon as he 
tried to throw over the linebackers, he got picked off.

The reason it will be that close is because the game is in Washington.

What's the story here?  Beating Cal, even by 27 points, can't be
THAT big of a deal for Purdue, can it?  Do the fans there go nuts
after every win, or were they really looking at Cal as a major
team to take down?

(Hmmm...  other teams getting evil robot woodies over beating Cal.

I know this must be difficult to believe, but let me just say that when
I'm thinking about Miami, the actual FSU team is thinking about
Clemson. See, I should have said this from the get go as people are
always confusing me for FSU. 

That said, I predict a win so big for FSU this weekend that the polls
will have no option but to drop us 5 or 6 spots. In fact I believe
that they will go undefeated this year and end up in the coveted 124
spot.

the Citadel (of the 1-AA Southern Conference) 10  Arkansas 3.

Look for more SC victories over 1-A opponents this season starting next week,
when Appalachian St. defeats Wake Forest.
