Sat., Sept 1st, 2012 will be the new era of Gus Malzahn. Red Wolves' fans have very high hopes of having a great season!!
Here's a link for the season:

I'm nervous as a pig in a bacon factory!!!
Good luck guys!!!
I'm just hoping we come out of the Oregon game healthy and play them respectable. Maybe their new starting QB will struggle, but it'll still be a tough task. I'm excited though!
Praying that NO ONE gets hurt.
Cause Gus is not playing! Proud that he's not putting up with players that won't obey the rules.

I think we go 10-2 again this season. Bold prediction, but I think we will win one of the two big non-conference game (Oregon, Nebraska), and then drop one in the Sunbelt. We will see! Can't wait!
To be overtly optimistic, the Red Wolves do have a history of sneaking up and challenging big schools in money games. Even beat an SEC team in '08.

Hmm, Big XII team back then, a 4-8 one

Like pig said, Big XII but nonetheless look at other examples.
'07 - #15 Texas - 8 point loss, questionable call on onside kick that could have affected the outcome
'07 - Tennessee - Battled to the end of the fourth quarter before losing by a small margin.
'09 - #15 Iowa - 3 point loss. Missed 22 yard field goal in the the 3rd ended up being the difference in the game.
Getting some wings. Putting on my Red Wolves t and settling in. We may get smeared but at least we tried.
I'm so excited for this game. I think we will score points. I just don't know if we can stop them. We will see. Let's go Wolves!
me too .... If we stay within 14 I will be satisfied..... stay with in 7 I will be happy....win the dang thing --- ecstatic!!!
Ill be watching tonight. Good luck a state. Interested to see Gus and his debut.
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.......this is getting ugly quickly.
well.... we look like Michigan
That's what I was thinking.
Hope you guys bought enough beverages to drink yourself into a comma to avoid remembering this massacre.
Oregon has too much speed and athletes.
If we stay with in 70 ..... I am used to it. The ducks came ready to play.
man the red wolves are getting ducked. big time!
we got 3. What more do you want us to do?

well, y'all have 10 now but the problem is they have 50.
Piggie. UofAF better be worried about Alabama.
That's not going to be pretty after watching them tonight.
Oregon is the best team offensively we've ever played, even better than Cam Newton and Auburn a couple of years ago. That was amazing watching them. I'm satisfied though, we settled down and we played very well against their 2's I thought. The last TD drive we even had our 2's in other than Aplin and ran right at them. Biggest thing is that we didn't get any major injuries though and hopefully we will be ready to play Memphis next week.
What was the final? I had to turn it off. Couldn't bear it anymore.
tb....believe me....i am worried about bama! and oregon still has some majorly ugly unis!
57-34.
Destroyed is not even the right word. I really feel sorry for the players.
It was a money game that I hear Malzahn did not want to play.
Memphis is next week. I'll be there.
Go Red Wolves. Howl YES!!!!

He might have not wanted to play it, but if he wanted to get paid this year, ASU needed the $950,000.
A very good article. Any Red Wolf fan or player should be proud.

Guess what, he might not want to play Nebraska either, but ASU will need the $$$ from that game too. And I walk at Joe Mac, prefer the layout better.

Memphica .... I have never heard that one before. Oh and I have never heard West Memphica either.
I was planning on being at this game... really looking forward to it but it might not be possible for me to attend. This is a hige game for both programs. Memphis needs this win as bad as ASU does. Should be a good game.

Maybe you need to get out more often, as far as the game, it won't be close, ASU by 28+.
Correct, Freeze wanted to schedule this game because he wanted to watch Oregon in person and learn from them for his offense. Obviously he assumed he would be here this year and he wasn't.
Good news though is that we had 500 yards of total offense and 40% was against their 1st team defense. I'll take that. We've also only given up more than 38 points 3 times since 2007. Tennessee did it 3 or 4 years ago, and they finished ranked 12th. Auburn beat us 52-26 the year they won the national championship and now Oregon this year and I assume they'll finish highly ranked again.
Bad news, was we had 6 penalties for 57 yards, all in the first quarter. Also, Oregon could have scored 100 I believe. They did have a couple of 4th down conversions in the first half though.
I think we'll do fine against Memphis. It's important that we keep our heads up and not get down. Talent wise, Memphis doesn't compare to us, but it is a rivalry game and anything can happen, especially if we get our heads down about this game. Not worried about Nebraska yet, but I think we'll play them much closer. Oregon was just amazing on offense. They've got speed, size, and a QB that didn't play like a RS freshman. I don't know if there will be a defense in the country to match their speed on offense, but I think their defense will be vulnerable. We had a few long drives against them and at least one, maybe two of them, resulted in no points because of a missed FG and interception.
On to Memphis though.

yeah i had the same thought! that game was ugly.
Oregon, in my honest opinion, will win the National Championship. They have so many weapons on offense...Barner, Thomas, Mariota, Kelley, and Lowe just to name a few. I think this is an offense that would score points on those SEC defenses. Plus their defense looks better than it has in years past.
But I think StAte will come out and destroy Memphis. We will see. Go Red Wolves!

Bama's defense shuts the ducks down. Only way the Ducks win a NC is if the NC does not have an SEC team in it.

I disagree. Oregon put up 28 on one of the best defenses in the nation in LSU. Oregon's defense last year was young too.

I think their defense still has alot to prove. With what Alabama did to Michigan, I just don't know if anyone will top them, and Oregon has to get through USC too.
I think Oregon is gonna blast USC. Too many weapons for USC to stop.
FWIW, Sports Center said Oregon was the the most impressive team this weekend. I too believe Oregon will handle USC. I don't think USC can stop their run game. Maybe noboby can. They DO have SEC speed that is refered to as lacking so often in other conferences.
Oregon has a fast defense that is very small. Bama would run the ball down their throat. Their offense wouldnt be on the field enough to do much. They would score but not over 30, which I would think they would have to have to beat Bama or LSU.

Well then you didn't look very hard. They were huge. Just as big as an SEC D-Line.
Pep Rally Tonight down on Main Street in Jonesboro!!!
Let's go Red Wolves!!!
Howl Yes!!!!!
Red Wolves 33
Memphis 28
Crowd was great! Got to give Memphis credit. Didn't think they'd be in this one after they lost to FCS UTM last week, but they played hard and had some talent. Defense really got off their blocks. ASU had 619 yards of total offense and defense played well! Special teams has got to improve, gave them 14 points off of mistakes.
You're right, special teams killed us. The defense looked a lot better than last week, but there is a lot of room to improve in stopping the run game. They were consistently getting 3-5 every time. Secondary looked good for the most part. That was an ugly win for the Red Wolves but I'll take it. I think we will play much better at Nebraska next week, maybe we can upset them. Go stAte!
Oh, and how about that student section?
I thought both teams played terrible but ASU had more points. Now there were bright spots and yep, special teams need to get it together for sure but lots of work for the RW's.
The Gus Malzahn Show is on Channel 7 starting now.
Well at least we scored. And we now have a cool one million.
Reservations now being taken for the Gus Bus to ULL on Tuesday October 23. $95 for each person.
ASU vs Alcorn State here this coming Sat.
Go Red Wolves!!!!!!
When Gus gets his recruits on campus ...... watch out.

Still going with this prediction? Gus is finding out it is tougher when you play better talent. He's a good coach but not a miracle worker. ASU is not an elite D1.

Do you realize Petrino went 5-7 in his first year? Malzahn will have a decent year this year. Our offense just played really bad yesterday. So far we have played probably one of the best teams in the nation, and then a decent big 10 team. We will be OK lol

I would like to add too my post above of Sept.5. ASU played the 2013 National Champion this year. Not only will the Ducks blast USC, they will meet and beat Bama in the NCG.
We have improved each week. We looked a lot better last night (I know Alcorn was terrible) but Aplin hit every open reciever right on the money, the secondary looked a lot better, and our special teams mistakes have been reduced.
Huge game next week vs. Western Kentucky. They just hammered Southern Miss last night and then beat Kentucky the week before. Big big game, couldn't stress that enough. Go stAte!
Got my tickets. Ready to Howl.

I'll agree with that. Oregon looked absolutely nasty last night against Arizona
Arizona was suppose to be able to hang with Oregon a little better. They, like Oregon, recruit California players with a lot of speed but they were way over matched. I see them and Bama sailing right into the title game without much trouble. LSU is no match for Bama. USC got a better shot at beating Oregon. Anyway ASU played the biggest of all the big boys this season. Something to talk about anyway, I don't think anybody figured Oregon to be THAT good at the time.

Well to be fair, Arizona got to the red zone about 6 times and scored 0 points. Part of it was Oregon's defense stepping up, but they couldn't kick a FG and their execution wasn't there. I think their starting QB got hurt too. It should have been a much closer game!
ASU-13 WKU-0 halftime
WKU up 23-13 with about 5 minutes to play.
WKU 26
ASU 13
Final
ASU had a horrible 2nd half. Turnovers, dropped passes, blown coverages...just didnt execute at all.
WKU is a good ball club though. Wouldn't be surprised if they win the Sun Belt
I think we've lost too much talent on defense on the line. We don't get near the pressure on the QB that we did last year. That's what makes our secondary look so bad.
Aplin just seems "off" too. He is missing open receivers and throwing into double coverage too much.
WKU is very good, but they could lose a game or two. This thing isn't over yet.
Had great attendance. Beautiful day. Disappointed that RW didn't win but like DC said this thing isn't over yet.
BG. Gus. :)

ULM also dismantled Tulane 63-10 yesterday. They have to be the frontrunners in my opinion too.
I just like WKU better. They look more physical and have a very good running game. It'll be a toss up.
Keep in mind that WKU has beaten Kentucky and also destroyed Southern Miss. Pretty impressive so far.

Looks like these folks think the ULM-WKU-ULL games are close enough to come down to home field. The 9/29 games haven't been loaded yet though.

I Knew another 10 win season was unrealistic with the kids learning a new system but I still thought 8 wins was possible. I am leaning more towards 6 now. But expect things to start picking up next year to get to 8-9 wins year in and year out an competing for conference on a yearly basis. The state of ASU football is still where we have to play money games, so you can chalk up a loss or two tree with every so often sneaking up on someone. This yea the conference seems to be better than it has ever. I can't think of a year where te sunbelt has had this many games that raised this much national attention.

Gus needs a win. Freeze is a much better coach than I thought he was --- Ole Miss came out last night lighting up Bama's offense. Those guys were fired up and played hard.
The Gus bus needs to get rolling. The honeymoon is over.
Good win tonight Red Wolves!
I kinda feel sorry for the FIU players though. Absolutely no fan support and they rank in the top 10 in enrollment and couldn't even get 5,000 to the game
Still haven't seen what freeze did other than install and call an offense while at stAte. An offense he installed during Roberts last year. It was also a year with little to no injuries, something that plagued several seasons while Roberts was there. I knew another 10 win season was on the wishful thinking list, but an 8-4 I thought could be possible, leaning more towards 6-7 now. The kids have to learn a new system, if Freeze was so much better than Gus, why did they not win 10 games 2 years ago when freeze first came in. Sorry but stAte upgraded and got a guy who grabbed players with offers to Arkansas, didn't see that kind of recruits with Freeze. State also got a guy who has had the highest offensive production on multiple years in his short time in the college ranks.
Gus is a good coach, but the fact is that he is coaching average talent and not Auburn national title caliber talent. However, Freeze coached that same group to 10 wins. This is the first time in a long while that Gus is having to coach with talent not obviously better than what he is playing against, it's tougher to do. ASU doesn't see the same degree of talent as a typical SEC school.

The defensive personnel is not the same this year.
Homecoming this weekend!!!
The core of that team is back. If Gus is as good as some like to claim then he shouldn't be feeling the growing pains. Anyway, it will not be a 10 win season for a second year.

You are so wrong. The core of the OFFENSE is back, and even then they lost the leading receiver from last year and a couple of OL. The defense lost alot and our defense was pretty dang good last year. That's the biggest difference. I don't think we'd have a better record right now with Freeze at the helm.

Good lord. Please research a little bit before posting. The Arkansas State defense lost a lot of key players from last season. Including Sun Belt conference defensive player of the year, Brandon Joiner. A few others are Demario Davis (3rd round draft pick), Kelcie McCray (Miami Dolphins), Nigel Byrd, and a couple of DT.
The offense lost the best receiver they have had in Dwayne Frampton. We also lost 3 of our starting lineman from last season.
A-State will be fine. Just extremely young this year

Hinges on how many felons Gus can bring in.
Supposed to be a pretty day Saturday. Can't wait for the game and what South Al looks like. A-State should win pretty easily though. Go Red Wolves!
This season has been about what every sane person thought it would be. The kids had to learn a new system, it takes time. Freeze was the OC before taking over as the head coach. He had an additional year to install his system. These things take time to learn. I thought 8-4 would be a good season, but looking at 7-5 ain't so bad. Not sure stAte will get to the point of expecting 10 wins a season for a while when we still have to play money games. 8-4 and 9-3 maybe, but sorry I can't jump off the wagon yet. I feel like we have a better situation than we have had in a long time. I think Roberts made great strides while at stAte taking the team from the cellar dweller to a team that competed, freeze was opportunistic and jumped ship, and malzahn is yet to be determined. Roberts did a good job of upping the talent level on campus and was plagued with injuries. Freeze used Roberts athletes to win conference and jumped. He still hasn't convinced me that he can recruit and do it on a consistent basis. I wish him all the luck in the world, but not going to dwell on him not being at stAte. Malzahn is here, he is working the kids, offensive production is up, our defense still has some growingto do.
Down goes another one.
Good job Red Wolves. Didn't go to the game but read about it today!!
The season starts next Tuesday, I guess actually the next one. ASU and Gus will find out how good they are im games with ULM, and ULL.

I think the Arkansas fans need to go worry about their team instead of getting on here and making sad little comments about ASU.
But once again. I have to consider the source. Sad. Just sad.

Lighten up Louise, the comments are about ASU's chance to repeat as conference champs, every ASU fan I talk to says the same thing. It's not a sad little comment, and I bet I've been to 5 times as many ASU games as you have.
Watching ASU and UL-L now. They look pretty good while leading 20 to zip. The RED pants are killing me though ! LOUD ASU RED ! Black pants next time ASU when you're on TV.
Can you say a tail kicking.... ASU was rolling last night. Great game.
Looked very impressive last night. Can't wait for the ULM game. If we win we would be in a 3 way tie for the conference lead. Go stAte!
You guys have a fun team t watch for sure.
Like I said. Sad.
Thank God I'm a Red Wolves fan.
ASU ought to try to get a game with UA next year, may be the one chance to get a win on them. Give a good coach a couple of years at Arkansas and that will not happen again.

Playing really good against North Texas right now. We are on a roll especially offensively. Defense has improved by leaps and bounds. Looks like we could win the sun belt again. Everything is falling into place

It does explain the story a bit. But with any rivalry game, all bets are off and anybody can win.
Either way there is a 3-way tie for first between ASU, MTSU, and ULM. ASU plays both at home in the next 4 weeks.
Got my tickets for tomorrow night! Really pulling for the Red Wolves! Hope they can win!
Can't wait for tonight. Biggest game at ASU in a good while. If there are any tickets left try and come out...could be in for a show. Go stAte!
ASU is looking good. I think they could actually beat Arkansas this year. ULM did !

Crowd looks good from what they are showing on TV. Have they announced an attendance number yet?
30000 something. 2nd largest crowd. The atmosphere is fun!!
The Indians Red Wolves are looking good right now. Keep up the good work so the state has at least one program going bowling.

I thought capacity was 30,700. Good crowd but it didn't look full.
The Warhawks backup is holding his own but they are missing Browning. NLULM isn't the same team without KB. I was at the UAF and Baylor games and he was a big reason why they beat the Hawgs and hung with the Bears. (To be honest though, the 'backs could have won if they would have been able to run effectively or complete passes in the fourth quarter.)

It isn't, less people on the west side than the east(camera). Still it's a big crowd for a Thursday night in J'boro. They must have included the 10,000 tickets given to area companies im the 30,000.

LOL.....it was a lot of fun. Saw some good friends! Lots of families there with young kids. and the kids were having a ball. Got my bar b que nachos finally.
Howl Yes. Proud of the boys tonight. And yes. I am now officially on the Gus Bus.

Well, you did watch a couple of WM games.
Not sure if Browning wouldve made much of a difference. The ULM line was getting dominated. The back up made all the throws he could. Starson and Stone were in the backfield all night. Plus ULM was NOT stopping Aplin and the stAte offense. ULM might've scored one or two more times, but ASU had that game in hand.
Heard something about the New Orleans Bowl.
I think the New Orleans bowl is gonna take either ULM or ULL. Don't be surprised if we play in Memphis in the Liberty bowl or go back to Mobile for the Go Daddy bowl

Of course at this point all of those are guesses with the exceptions of BYU and Navy.
Well for travel sake, then I hope it's the Liberty Bowl. But Mobile wouldn't be bad either.

Appreciate the confidence, but here's the best I can do. It goes back to 1992 since that was when it looked like ASU moved to D-I. The number in the last column is what they call a "Simple Rating System" and the way it is calculated on their site has UAF slightly ahead of ASU at this point of 2012. Of course none of this takes into consideration mid-season ratings.

Troy is the biggest trap game of the year. If we don't come out and play our A game Troy could put it on us. Very good passing game and can outscore you. Go stAte!

They're definitely playing their best football right now. If ASU gets passed them, I can see them knocking off MTSU to get bowl eligible next week.
ASU 41
Troy 34
Standings:
1. ASU 8-3 (6-1)
2. MTSU 7-3 (5-1)
3. ULM 7-5 (5-2)
4. ULL 6-4 (4-2)
5. WKU 6-5 (3-4)
6. Troy 5-6 (3-4)
7. UNT 4-7 (3-4)
8. FIU 3-8 (2-5)
9. FAU 3-8 (2-5)
10. USA 2-9 (1-6)
Notable games remaining:
Troy @ MTSU next week. Troy looks for bowl eligibility while MTSU playing for conference title show down against ASU Dec. 1.
MTSU @ ASU December 1. If MTSU beats Troy, the winner of the ASU vs. MTSU game will be the conference champion.
If MTSU loses to Troy and wins @ ASU, things get really hairy with a potential of 4 Co-champions.
Tennessee is pushing to get Gus as their next head coach. I guess we will see if he intends to stay at ASU or not.
I know for a fact they have offered Gus the job.
I know for a fact that they do not want anything to do with BP.
If I was Gus I would probably take the Vol job..... Hope he stays a Red Wolf.
I think they're more likely to get Gruden. Gus knows he needs to spend a few years as a head coach before he takes on an SEC program, or else he'd be the HC at Kentucky or Vandy right now.

Especially if we win.
Couldn't make it to the game.
ASU leads MT 21 - 0 1st quarter.

Going into the 3rd quarter. 35 to zero.
A S U leads.
Sun Belt Champs
Arkansas State University Red Wolves 45
MT zero.
Congrats!!!
Watching ESPN give out their weekly helmet stickers and I see them pull out an ASU helmit and give the Gus lead Red Wolves one for winning the conference. Kinda cool thing for little old ASU.
Congrats to ASU ! The 2012 Sun Belt Champs. Poor Hogs in year 20 of no SEC Titles !
Ditto Hoghead's comments. Hopefully, ASU will get a decent bowl and opponent - one that features the team on TV without any other game against it.
And your post seven is why I think Hog's comment is funny.
Sorry Seven. I feel sorry for the Hogs but not for the Hog fans.
No, no actually I take that back. I even feel sorry for the most obnoxious Hog fan out there. It's been a brutal year. Petrino. People everywhere making fun of him and his girlfriend. That was by far the favorite costume for Halloween this year. And then the absolutely worst season for the Hogs I have ever seen.
They could always come to watch the other Arkansas team. :)
I am proud of those Red Wolves kids. I know a few of them. They deserve a pat on the back for a great season.
Go Red Wolves!!!
Going back to Mobile! A lot of fans are griping but I say to them "I know of many teams that would LOVE to be going to a bowl at all!!"
I would rather go there than than Shreveport. Yuck!!

Top Wolf one and done: http://auburn.scout.com/2/1246296.html
Sad for asu but expected.
I'll say again what I said in the SEC subforum:
Bad move for Malzahn and stAte. He could have stayed at stAte as long as he cared to and been a legend on the level of Broyles at Arkansas. Now he goes to a program that has a tendency of firing coaches who win double digit games. He'll be there a few years, have quite a bit of success, and then get fired on a down year.
Hate it for y'all, I'm a stAte fan as much as I'm an Arkansas fan (maybe more since my mom and aunt are stAte alumni), and I was really thinking he would take stAte to the next level.
If anyone thought he was going to stay around long then they are delusional.
I'm stlll proud of those kids.
Howl Yes!!! Go Red Wolves!!!
A-State should keep hiring these one-and-dones if it means winning the Sun Belt every year.
Back to Auburn, that should be interesting. Down program, on the edge of NCAA penalties. Wonder how long they will give him to win.

I have been to Shreveport many times. The last time I was on the boardwalk, someone was abducted and murdered while I was there. I know that can happen anywhere but that has kinda stuck with me when I think of Shreveport. Remember Hoghead, even Memphis doesn't scare me. I am street smart but that was just plain scary and I haven't been back. This way in Mobile, I could put a few days on the beach too. :)
4 coaches in 4 years is why ASU will NEVER be an elite program...
Arkansas may have been down for a year, but we will be back...

Another way to look at it is that ASU could become very attractive to young talented coaches because of these coaches making their way into the SEC via ASU.

Both fan bases have become very adept at that. The inconvenient truth is that in the big picture both schools are nothing more than also rans in college football.

Maybe, maybe not...but ASU will never have any continuity until they keep a head coach longer than a year...

Arkansas is one year removed from being ranked #5 in the nation...Petrino screwed up, JLS was GAWD awful...I guess if that's an also ran, oh well...Arkansas will be back...they are in better shape than ASU...

Do you know off the top of your head who was ranked #5 the year before that? My point exactly

Ohio State, of course depending on which poll you rely on...lol...doesn't matter though...ASU will always be second tier while the Hogs play in the premier conference in America...ASU can have their best season ever and won't hit the top twenty five...
Oh and by the way, great game Friday night. My son, wife and myself made the trip to Stuttgart Friday to see Billy. Real impressed with the Ricebirds. #12 has a cannon and the team speed was impressive but what really impressed me was the line play...very good. I will be there Saturday as well...
ASU will always be little ASU. After 20 years in the SEC with not one SEC Football title, Im not sure who Arkansas is???? I still say go Hogs and go Indians/Red Wolves ! And yes they should play each other !!!

I have been to Shreveport many times. The last time I was on the boardwalk, someone was abducted and murdered while I was there. I know that can happen anywhere but that has kinda stuck with me when I think of Shreveport. Remember Hoghead, even Memphis doesn't scare me. I am street smart but that was just plain scary and I haven't been back. This way in Mobile, I could put a few days on the beach too. :)
Abducted on the Boardwalk and murdered ? When and what year ? The Boardwalk is one of the safest spots in Bossier City. It's loaded down with police and security. This must have happened at a Casino parking lot. There's no Casinos on the Boardwalk.
As for Mobile(I use to live there too) It's a little seedy there as well. Ladd Stadium isn't in the best side of town. Heading to the Beach in January in Alabama isn't a good thing. It's gonna be COLD !!

Glad you had a good visit. I have been trying to tell people all year this is a complete team.

Mr. Negative. I don't care what time of year it is, I love the beach. I just don't like Shreveport that much. Been there when the Hogs have played there. I would rather drive down to Orange Beach after the game. 2007 was the last time I was in Shreveport. No place is safe anymore.
The Gus Bus left on flats in Jonesboro. What a surprise.

YOLO, Red Wolves, YOLO
How did it turn out when North Texas hired a high school head coach into their head coaching position?
The boys are in Mobile! Im very proud of the Jonesboro community in their effort to help Mobile after the tornado hit them. This is a good city!!
Go Red Wolves!!!!! Raining now. Hope it clears up!

Kenneth Dixon as well !
We have had a great year! Rugby team did great and now the football team.
Baseball is just around the corner. Thank goodness.
It was a solid year for ASU even with Gus bailing on you for Tigger.

Good lord. Please research a little bit before posting. The Arkansas State defense lost a lot of key players from last season. Including Sun Belt conference defensive player of the year, Brandon Joiner. A few others are Demario Davis (3rd round draft pick), Kelcie McCray (Miami Dolphins), Nigel Byrd, and a couple of DT.
The offense lost the best receiver they have had in Dwayne Frampton. We also lost 3 of our starting lineman from last season.
A-State will be fine. Just extremely young this year
