I like your style, GDunn! The Vandals win a shocker! Haha... but one does not simply walk into Krispy Kreme Stadium and get a W, from what countless Mean Green posters have said.

One does not simply walk into Apogee and not get hassled by the vicious, brutal, and infamous Mean Green Student Section.

The Mean Green faithful just better be glad this thing isn't in the Kibbie Dome. Top 5 toughest venues in sports... worldwide.

T5 worst to look at?
Haha... some friends and I (over LOTS of beers one night) decided that before we die, we're going to make a road trip to Moscow, ID to watch a game in the Kibbie Dome. Going to make up some bogus story about how we're lifelong Vandal fans from NC and it's on our bucket list in an attempt to get special treatment out there. We talk about it often, and as a result, I find myself with a little soft spot for Idaho... completely by accident.
Tulsa @ Bowling Green MY LINE: Tulsa 31-27 I can see BG possibly winning but I think Tulsa is up to the test. REALITY SAID: BG 34-7 Even in my worst case scenario I didn't see an ass kicking coming like this one.
Western Carolina @ MTSU MY LINE MTSU: 35-17 This should not be close on MTSU's field. REALITY SAID: MTSU 45-24 Nice start IMO
Jackson St @ Tulane MY LINE: Tulane 28-17 Tulane should thump these guys considering it is a home game for them. REALITY SAID: Tulane 34-7 Tulane gave a mercy score I guess?
I was on target for the most part and only shocked at how bad Tulsa looked.

3-1
Saturday 8/31
FIU @ Maryland MY LINE: Maryland 27-13 FIU is in too much disarray to go to UMD and win. Not saying UMD is lighting the football world on fire. REALITY SAID: UMD 43-10 FIU sucks...
4-1
La Tech @ NCSU MY LINE: La Tech 27-21 Skip knows NCSU, he knows road trips to NCSU, La Tech gets this one. REALITY SAID: NCSU 40-14 Color me surprised NCSU beat you guys down.
4-2
Rice @ TxA&M MY LINE: Rice 28-27I'll call this my upset special. I am betting on the Johnny Football thing destabilizing TAMU and Rice eeks one out. REALITY SAID: TAMU 52-31My theory was partially right on this...
4-3
ODU @ ECU MY LINE: ECU 45-20 Game makes me nervous, ODU can score at will against FCS competition, I wonder how it will translate to playing a 1a team. REALITY SAID: ECU 52-38Taylor Heinicke was legit as a QB. ECU D looked kind of soft but held when they had to.

8-5
Campbell @ Charlotte http://scores.espn.go.com/college-footba...ekNumber=1 MY LINE: Charlotte 27-23 Campbell is pretty sorry at football, and Charlotte hosting makes this game a toss up IMO. REALITY SAID: Charlotte 52-7 I don't care who you are, if you are playing your first D1 game against a D1 school that has played football for a few years and you BLOW THEM OUT then that tells me a few things either way.
10-5
That is my story and I am sticking to it as of today.

La Tech @ NCSU
Push
I don't know if NCSU is better than what my insiders told me, or if LaTech really did lose that much. Either way, keep your heads up LaTech fans. Skip will start to put it together soon. 4-2
Rice @ TxA&M
A&M -17
Cover 5-2
ODU @ ECU
ECU -18
ECU left points on the field, but really didn't have an answer for ODU's offense. ODU is for real and will step right in and compete immediately in CUSA. 5-3

Miami (OH) @ Marshall
Marshall -3

UK @ WKU UK -14
UK sucks. WKU isn't bad at all. 7-7

Take out the two Push games, which I obviously felt would be to close to bet and I wouldn't have done too badly considering it was week one.
8-5 for the week.

Thursday 8/29
Tulsa @ Bowling Green
Tulsa SU and +3.5. This should be one of the few good games this weekend.
Western Carolina @ MTSU
MTSU SU
Not picking ATS for FCS games
Jackson St @ Tulane
Tulane SU
Friday 8/30
FAU @ Miami (FL)
Miami SU and -32
Saturday 8/31
FIU @ Maryland
Maryland SU and -21
La Tech @ NCSU
NC State SU
La Tech +13.5
Both teams are inexperienced and have a new head coach. Don't see either team running away with this game.
Rice @ TxA&M
Texas A&M SU
Rice +26.5. Won't be close, but that's too many points.
ODU @ ECU
ECU SU and -14.5. Struggled with this one, as I could see ODU getting a backdoor cover. A few more points and I probably would've switched my pick.
Idaho @ UNT
North Texas SU and -15. I think Idaho goes winless.
Miami (OH) @ Marshall
Marshall SU
Miami (OH) +19.5. Again I think Marshall wins comfortably, but the line is too high.
Tx St @ USM
USM SU and -8. Back to winning games in Hattiesburg.
UAB @ Troy
UAB SU and +4. Potential homer pick. I think the game is truly a coin flip.
UTSA @ New Mexico
New Mexico SU and -3.5.
******
FUTURES:
Friday 8/31
UK @ WKU
Western Kentucky SU and +4.5
Campbell @ Charlotte
Campbell I guess. Don't know anything about either team. Welcome to football, 49ers.
10-5 Straight Up
5-7 Against the Spread, the hook in the ECU game cost me.
Hopefully next week will get a little better now that I know what the teams actually look like.
