I was wondering how you all would like this matchup announcement.

Looks like UAB vs. JSU is a match made in heaven.

That’s so short sighted.

I thought it was Miss St that backed out on us.

We’ve been told yes.

That's pretty bad if true.

JSU's average has been hovering around 16k or so post-COVID. After a great season, this will definitely draw a sellout in Jacksonville and maybe fill some of the lower bowl in Protective. This will be a more competitive game than last now thst Bill Clark isn't there to stop all four plays John Grass knows.

It will also be nice to have two bands at a game for once. Even with short drives, Kennesas and UTC wouldn't bring their bands.

The first game is 3 years from now.

It will still draw a crowd. I was worried we would lose fan whenever
Engagement if we got destroyed in FBS.
