Well the 2007 season opener has come and gone. I didn’t make it to Starkvegas last night instead I decided to watch from the comforts of home on ESPN HD. I don’t even know where to start, but I will try to sum it up for those who didn’t watch. If you have any game over the past three seasons it was the same thing all over again.
Thumbs UP
The Defensive Effort - much like last year these guys came to play, they just didn’t know they would be on the field all night.
ESPN’s interview with Jackie
The Crowd - give our fans credit, they were loud and enthusiastic
ESPN’s new Thursday night crew - I thought they did a good job. It was a good mix in the booth.
 Thumbs DOWN
What was up with the Ole Miss commercial during the first quarter? That was nice!
#7 - we heard the stories of his struggles during camp, but obviously they were dead on. That was probably his worst performance in Maroon.
??????Play calling - it was raining, it was muddy, and Anthony Dixon was a beast early on. So we air it out all night, thats brilliant.
Penalties - sure they blew the call on the flea flicker, but we killed ourselves with stupid penalties.Â
Whats next?
Tulane next weekend.
The questions?
Will the offense recover? Will Henig bounce back? Will they defense stick together? Will we open the playbook? We will just have to wait and see.
