Just looked at their last few years schedule, they have gone 31-7 in three seasons. This game will be a tough one..

All of them will be tough. I just hope we have placed guys at the right positions at this point (Copeland WR/QB, Dawkins SAF/WR, Brooks WR/RB, and Lee LB/RB).

dawkins is a receiver now?

No, he's still a safety just saying i would give him a look on that side of the ball since he was a three star WR coming out of high school. Like

Copeland waa a three star QB
Aj Brooks was a RB with 4.4 speed

Ect

Position placement and rank at that position awaits final line up decisions based upon who is actually able to take the field as a Blazer this fall. We (the fans) have to wait until fall enrollment is complete and fall practice actually results in a credible depth chart. We have more talent than we were used to so we wait to see how the players will be utilized across the line up. It will be an exciting time to be a Blazer fan.

We wont know a thing until mid august. .

Correction. I know Erdely is QB 1a and Johnston is 1b. Erdely will take the first snap, but we'll probably see them both play.

Both of their losses last year were 1-point losses to top 10 FCS teams.

Clements/ Briscoe part two.

Speaking of last season, only one of Coastal Carolina's 10 wins came against a team that finished with a winning record.

CCs competition was about on par with USA when the Birmingham media was slobbering all over Joey Jone's private parts going crazy over beating up on teams that could not fight back.
It used to piss me off then when Uab will play a Woffard or a Charleston Southern we would get crucified. USA would play a non-scholarship start up program like Lamar, DII teams, and every bad FCS program they could find and nothing is said The media makes out like there are the greatest thing since easy off oven cleaner or fat free ice cream.

This is a game we should line up and win if we don't do stupid things and don't have catastrophic injuries.

Hey

I'm preparing myself for us to have a terrible year in which I can simply be happy seeing my Blazers on the field again.

Any wins we get will be gravy.

In an odd way that seems like the perfect slogan or motto for the season. They don't know.

But do we know what they don't know that we don't know what we don't know?

By the time UAB takes the field against CC, we will KNOW a lot that today we don't know. That game against a MAC opponent - Ball State - will tall us a lot about what kind of TEAM FBHC Clark has been able to construct from his available talent. We are all hoping for a season of happiness this year, but right now it is all crossed fingers and positive thinking.
