ACU still received 6 votes in the STATS-AFCA Pre-Season top 25. I still look to see how well we come togther as a team in next few weeks. We have lots of talent. The difference will be our chemistry and our synergy...

Will the heat break before school starts? Gotta be tough!

Good question, Bogey. Right now the forecast calls for Abilene to be 105 or above for the next 9 days. The Weather Channel only shows 15 days out and it shows over 100 degrees out to 15 days. This has to impact the team some. Of course, it is effecting all of the Texas colleges -- this heat dome has been camped out over just about all of the state for a while now.

How ready will UNC be for this heat in game 1?

We've been having short but consistent rains for a good bit now in MB. A nice rain this morning. Wishing it were getting to the Big Country. I'm hoping it doesn't take a hurricane to break the heat and dry for you guys. Stay cool. Just sitting down figuring what I'm going to do with the lottery money I win this week. Any suggestions?

If I win the lottery, the biggest thing I would do is make to where I see my family more than once a year...

Obviously, you first share your lottery winnings with all of your friends on CatChat. Then you fully fund scholarships and coaches for every ACU sport. You can do what you wish with what you have leftover.

Naw... First he'll go to Augusta National and then up to Pine Valley before heading back to Florida and Sawgrass and maybe Pablo. Then he'll have time to think about funding athletics. BTW, Pablo Creek is not quite in the field of the first two but it is pretty close to Sawgrass.

Some things I'd like to know from the scrimmage tomorrow: Will Trent Pullen of Carson Walker break into the starting OL or the 2-deep? How do our WR's look? Any surprises on either 1st or 2nd team? Who are the 1's at LB? How do Sunday and Wisherd look at RB. Do we have a FG kicker who can be consistent? I'll ask about QB's after our next scrimmage. Mavsman and/or Cattitude, don't know if you guys will be there but don't work yourselves into a frenzy like last year. Any info will be appreciated.

Mavsman and/or Cattitude, don't know if you guys will be there but don't work yourselves into a frenzy like last year. Any info will be appreciated. Good questions. I'm also interested in our 2-deep at WR. I'm guessing our starters will be Tristan Golightly, Blayne Taylor, and Marcayll Jones (slot). Our second string will be Waydale Jones, Cooper McCasland, and Jacoby Boykins. I'm sure some of our veterans who got a lot of playing time prior to this coaching staff will be battling for a 2-deep spot, also. Interesting note: ACU has Boykins listed at 6'1", whereas Alabama had him at 5'11".

Was sure hoping Waydale Jones would have an injury free year. Hope Castles is back soon.
