Also ... how does GA State get the first game of the year? Pretty crappy in my opinion to start on Wed. Who in the world are they playing? Abilene Christian?

GSU is favored by 4 points!

We are favored by 30...too high IMO.

ESPN probably told the Sun Belt pick a game for the 27th to get on National TV and GSU vs a startup FCS program was picked.

We won at Hampton by 37 2 years ago in a thunderstorm shortened game and they have a new head coach.

A very good game. Two of the more successful teams in recent FCS history

Additionally, some drama. Former UD coach KC Keeler (now at SHSU) vs the team that, in a nailbiter, took him (and UD) out in the FCS NC in 2010.

OT - ODU 52 Hampton 17

SHS and EWU are two of the best in FCS, outside of NDSU.

ODU 48-HU 0
Defense has something to prove.

Only if we get up big early and liberally substitute.
Otherwise, if we DON"t win by at least thirty we are, IMHO, in big trouble this season.

On another note, I'm glad our official twitter doesn't use unwieldy abbreviations when announcing our touchdowns. "Touchdown Eags" is blech.

Disrespectful to the teams on the field to spend the better part of a quarter talking about the new FBS playoff

I had to watch most of the game in black and white - that red field was giving me a headache.

Games played on a surface resembling a used maxi-pad tend to have that effect.

What, Georgia State moved up to FCS? When the heck did that happen? I mean when we played them I thought they were D II or NAIA. 03-lmfao

Pulling for Abilene Christian to knock off their first FBS opponent. They apparently have a physically-imposing offensive line and their star RB is a transfer from Oklahoma State (via Lamar). Can't speak for his program-hopping, but I think if GA State's linebackers aren't on point that guy will rush for big yards.
