I've got it going on the ESPN app on my roku. Gotta say, it feels different watching the Leathernecks on my TV in HD.
It's still ESPN3, just not on the computer.

Yea, that was an absolutely sweet pass. And a great catch by Lenoir.

Massey has us ranked #14 in FCS after this win. Schedule is setting up nicely for us with two straight home games against good teams (ISU-Red and UNI), both very beatable, especially at home. A solid win next week against the Redbirds could put us in Massey Top 10 territory. If 10K don't show up for that one, I will be very surprised. I am even thinking about flying in for it if I can get a decent airfare. It is either that, or the Bose TV sound system that QVC has for a special today. Ahh, what the hell, maybe both because life is short. Go Necks!

Update: At this moment, it is $150 cheaper to fly to Peoria ($400) than to Chicago ($550). Go figure.
Embrace the pace of the race.

A team has got to learn how to win first, before they become championship caliber. Making the most out of your opponent's mistakes while taking advantage of your breaks is the key to the game ending in a W! Norvell and his receivers really were in sinc and his runs along with Baker's really kept the Penguins off balance. Great call on fake punt! Kind of like the throw back to the qb last Saturday. Took the wind right out of their sails! ;) jc

Wow, guess no one has been paying attention to who we played and how we have played them. ;) jc
