My fantasy would be to see Etienne rip off a 75 yd TD run on 1st or 2nd drive tomorrow

It's been a minute since we have had a long TD run. We need Etienne or Frazier to pop a long run or an 80 yard bomb to Arian. I feel like we need a big play like one of those early to loosen our team up. Much is being made of how Beck and the passing game will play and rightfully so, but to me the key to us winning is "Can we run the damn ball?". My hope is that we are more physical than them. I don't want a shootout although if we have to I think we can do that.

I would kill to see our OL man up and whip the shit out of their DL and let Etienne and Frazier bully their ass. Our defense is probably going to give up a lot. It would help our defense out a lot if our running game could get going and slow the game down some and interrupt Sark and the O's rythym. Our defense scares the crap out of me. The offense is going to have to bail them/us out.

What a win would mean for me.

I have lived in Texas since 1999. I think it goes God, football, family in this state. I have been around both UT and A&M fans, and I am not sure which ones are worse. Both talk trash, and I have to hear them constantly about how good they are every year. I work at a UT institution, so this week has been rough. So what would a win mean to me……. To SHUT their F@$&in mouths up! Period.

Good Morning Dawg Nation

Well, here we are on Texas game eve and I'm still abnormally calm. Not sure what that means but I'm good with it. Seems like the board is strangely calm as well and I'm good with that too. Hopefully we're all celebrating the upset tomorrow night.

Safe travels to all those heading to Austin to watch the Dawgs!

Hoping I get to watch Ty play Saturday before the Dawgs come on later that night. It's his senior year at Albany State and he's having a great year so far.

I hope you have a fantastic Friday Dawg Fam!

Praying for all those on LDGMDNOPL
and all the GMDN gang too!

Happy Birthday/Anniversary if you're celebrating today 🎉🎉

Love you guys and gals, MEAN IT.....

Go Dawgs ❤️

ND - HVAC replacement advice

Thanks to Helene, our entire crawl space and all of our downstairs AC duct work was flooded. It's a "big mess"/"disaster" according to a few HVAC techs/sales reps that have come out and seen it. Looking for some HVAC advice from any experts on the board...

The downstairs is serviced by a 2018 4-ton Trane package unit that sits on stilts outside. Water may or may not have affected it - looks like floodwater line came up to the bottom of it, but not sure if it got inside. One tech did say that water probably got inside of it due to the ducts getting flooded and pushing water through the return. I've had one company say we should replace the package unit, and another saying we shouldn't unless a tech gets into the unit and sees clear evidence of water damage - a technician is supposed to be out here this afternoon to provide a second opinion.

We have a separate system for our upstairs - 2009 AC condenser on the ground the got fully flooded and 2009 furnace in the attic. Planning to replace the condenser for sure, and back and forth on whether to replace the full system including the attic furnace. We may move in 2-3 years, or may be in this home for the next 20.

Both units will turn on and appear to be working for now. We do have flood insurance, but don't want to spend money and replace the package unit if we don't have to - and I won't know for sure when/how much gets approved by the adjuster process, after the work has already been done (I'm assuming the will only cover duct work and AC condenser on ground).

1. Any advice on questions to confirm or not that the package unit is damaged when the tech is here?
2. Any advice on just replacing AC condenser vs. the full system for upstairs?
3. Any advice on RunTru vs. Goodman vs. Lennox systems?

Thanks in advance for the DawgVent wisdom
