5) Along with Shawn Elliot, many of the league member's still have relatively new coaches at the helm of their respective programs (and while Joe Moglia has been with Coastal for several years, we'll throw him in for poops and giggles). Which of the following coaches stock would you buy, sell or push in terms of future potential?

-Shawn Elliot, Georgia State
-Matt Viator, ULM
-Tyson Summers, Georgia Southern,

6) Speaking of Coastal, what's your OVER/UNDER win total for the youngbloods in their first season playing football in the 'Belt? _____________

7) What's the one sport you want your respective SBC team to vastly improve in and the reasoning behind it? ___________, __________________

1. It will take a while. One good recruiting class won't turn it around. State made the right choice going after a guy who is a strong recruiter, but I have my doubts as to the other aspects of Elliot as a HC.

2. (I'm being the optimistic homer fan here and assuming we'll be better)

Toughest: South Alabama
@ Ole Miss
Oklahoma State
@ La Tech
@ Troy
@ GS
Ark State

Easiest: App State
Skips Troy
Skips StAte
GS at home

Intriguing: App State
UGA game is more winnable than many think, bad Wake team at home, App State might just be an access bowl contender.

3. Stay on our current trajectory. Don't go to 9-game conference schedule

4. App State ... conference schedule

5. Elliot might fail but he won't leave an empty cupboard. Buy.
Viator: IMO is not any better than Berry was. Push
Summers: He has a much more qualified offensive coaching staff and some promising young players to replace a great senior class. The question mark is going to be defensive coaching. Push.
Withers: Similar to Elliot, good recruiting, but how high is the ceiling? Buy
Brown: How much longer will he be there? That's the question. Buy
Moglia: He knows what he's doing and Chadwell ain't no joke. Get some good recruiting going and look out. Buy.

6. Coastal will win 5-7 games. Don't underestimate Moglia and Jamey Chadwell.

7. Football.

Wake isn't a bad team. Had a winning record last year and a bowl win over a Top 25 team.

Maybe if our conference champion could not go 0-4 in OOC play and then decide to start actually playing when league play starts. If we all do well OOC then that will help perception big time.

You guys have no clue about Viator. Definitely a buy. Night and day from Berry.

When did spring become a drag?

We're averaging almost 5,000 per game in baseball, which is higher than anyone drew in hoops.

I agree. The drag to me is between football and baseball. Of course if we averaged 500 a game in baseball it would be an improvement.

1) With a new coach and new stadium kicking things off for the Panther's in 2017, the impact it will have for Georgia State is GSU eventually overshadowing GS as a football school.

2) Who has the toughest, easiest and most intriguing schedule this upcoming season?

__________TXST, not because our schedule is tough, but because we suck and it will be extremely tough for us. This schedule looked very winnable 2 years ago when Colorado, UTSA, and Wyoming were all pretty bad, now we're bad and they're all trending up.___________ Toughest

_________Coastal Carolina, only strong OOC game looks like Arkansas, play rebuilding UAB and weak UMASS____________ Easiest

__________Coastal Carolina, curious to see how they stack up___________ Most Intriguing

3) In order for the Sun Belt Conference to keep improving both the quality of play and its perception, what needs to be done to achieve both? ________Obviously win OOC games_______


4) Beside your beloved school, if you had to pick another team that has the best chance to win the conference, it'd be _____Troy______ because _______not sure but I feel like they've lost the least amount of starters out of the contenders________.

5) Along with Shawn Elliot, many of the league member's still have relatively new coaches at the helm of their respective programs (and while Joe Moglia has been with Coastal for several years, we'll throw him in for poops and giggles).

-Shawn Elliot, Georgia State
-Matt Viator, ULM
-Tyson Summers, Georgia Southern,
-Everett Withers, Texas State
-Neal Brown, Troy
-Joe Moglia, Coastal

I'd buy them since they seem to be trending upwards. I know GS fans complain about Summers but I feel like them going back to a true TO offense will make them happy again.

6) Speaking of Coastal, what's your OVER/UNDER win total for the youngbloods in their first season playing football in the 'Belt? ______5_______

7) What's the one sport you want your respective SBC team to vastly improve in and the reasoning behind it? ______Football_____, __________Because we're from Texas and that's the most important sport. Right now the other sports make us happy because we're decent at them and it makes us forget about football but I'd rather be great at football and suck at everything else.________

Coastal Carolina from October 21st forward plays @StAte, @App, @Arkansas, @Idaho, Troy, GS, and Texas State (the latter two probably being better this year). Don't envy that schedule very much.
