Great for moving up the polls. Terrible for my prediction spot.

HyVee is a sponsor but they haven't built any in the Hoosier State despite promising to do so half a decade ago.

There we go. That's more like it.

Does the Beef O Brady Bowl still exist?

Thank God Kennesaw State can't do anything right.

Wow, the Owls really suck.

I can name two.

If only IU scored, I would be tops, but tied for 3rd ain't bad.

Second knee injury in his college career. Honestly, I just think he's done.

I had it on mute over the weekend, was it the same group as the Old Dominion game?

I posted this in the general thread like a moron, but point still stands. : 34 : 10

Man, Kennesaw State had a very rough first year on the FBS level and losing that way to Wake Forest is not good for locker room morale. Hopefully it'll look a lot better for us this Saturday. And yes, this belongs in the prediction thread. No, I won't delete it. : 34 : 10

And, to be honest, I'd rank the Sun Belt above Conference USA in terms of competition. As bad as Old Dominion is, they seem to try to want to win, whereas Florida International doesn't care if they go 1-11 or 7-5.

Thank God I don't start the season at rock bottom. I have a chance.

And people are already turning on the guy after one loss.

So much for me having a crack at the prediction game.

He's gonna turn into a chimney stack tonight.

Besides that WTF moment at the first drive, a rather pedentic opener. Not impressed with our red zone offense or pass game, but the rush game and defense is quite good.

In fairness, I've been down to Nashville twice this summer on work and both times it felt like an apartment after a water pipe burst.

Plez Lawrence's father is going to stop by our barbershop this week to talk about his son's performance on Thursday. I think he's got potential for the Sycamores.

Oh, we have created worse mascots. Much worse.

New Season, New Expectations - 38 I thought this country was founded to get away from monarchy - 14

The FCS has it set up where, out of the 13 conferences, 11 of them (yes, the Ivy League is now one of them this season) gets auto bids with the MEAC and SWAC doing their own bowl championship game instead and the rest are at-large. Yeah, 8-10 of those come from the Big Sky and Missouri Valley, but those conferences are pretty tough so you can argue they earned it. The Big Ten system is just nonsense.

I've been telling myself all offseason that 8-4 is the safe choice. I doubt we'll repeat the CFP appearance, but we'll definitely make a run for a New Year's Six Bowl, and who knows? We'll finally get that win.
