Well, at least for some of us. Georgetown wrapped up its final practice today ahead of a trip to Stony Brook to take on the Seawolves. Kickoff is at 6 PM EST and will be carried live on guhoyas.com.
The SEC's 75th Anniversary season started tonight. #2-ranked LSU, boasting one of the more absurd collections of talent in the country, routed Mississippi State 45-0 tonight in a game that was not as close as the score indicated, as exhibited by Miss. State's Michael Henig tossing six interceptions. Four years into the Sylvester Croom era at Starkville, is this debacle merely a blip in what will be a bowl season for the Bulldogs or a continuation of the malaise that permeated the end of the Jackie Sherrill era into the present day?
Miss. State's fall from the SEC's competitive ranks into an oft-beaten also ran is sad because through the 2000 season the Miss. State was competitive with Tennessee, Florida and Alabama. Of course, there were issues to with the NCAA, but even with that, the Bulldogs' total collapse in this decade -- a drift Croom has been unable so far to correct -- has been disheartening. I am a supporter of Coach Croom and I hope he and the Bulldogs put themselves together from this loss (BURN THE TAPE!) and return to competitiveness.
Meanwhile, down in Dallas, Brian Davis of the Dallas Morning News believes the Aggies need to jam 50 points down Montana State's throat to get a good start to the season. I concur with this view. Montana State is at some level a barometer of the Ags' future success and at the same time not. Obliterate the team as expected and do we gain any insight for future games? However, if A&M only wins by 20, or, worse, loses outright, it's automatically a sign of concern and panic.
