SOCON WEEK 5

[apaladin]

Conference season heats up a little this week. VMI and WCU are idle.
1:30. MERCER @ WOFFORD Mercer looking to go 3-0 already. Should know more about WC after this one.
2:00. ETSU @ CITADEL ETSU the surprise so far. Maybe the best in SoCon? Look for a blowout.
2:00. SAMFORD @ FURMAN Must win for both struggling teams, a loss and you’re done.
6:00 PORTLAND STATE @ CHATTANOOGA Interesting intersectional game.

SoCon is wide open this year. Going to be fun to watch.

Done with what?

Since 2000, 17 times the SoCon champs have had one or more losses in the conference.

I agree. I’m betting it will be an 18th this year.

Just saying that a loss here with all the tough games left, it is not impossible, but very unlikely.

Just a different take. Different people. Different opinions. My opinion is usually wrong. Lol.

Wide open is not fun. I want FURMAN DOMINATION. ABSOLUTE FREAKIN DOMINATION. Losing hurts. then the the others can have it be wide open for second place.

I’m a serious dude. I never want a “good exciting game that’s close”. I want a game we CRUSH … we have had two close exciting games already. And taken two Losses.

I want to be bored out of my mind with nice Furman wins of 50-0. Montana OT - fun. Exciting. Great atmosphere. close. Result - . LOSS
Samford BAD CALL game two years back. Exciting. Fun. Result - . LOSS. cost us a SoCon title. !!!
UIW. Playoff game. Close exciting. Result ? LOSS

Had a good coach when I was a youngster. He said who wants fun? Then he said for us to shut the heck up. Told us WINNING IS FUN. Nothing else. Waited until we lost. Asked us “was that fun?” We learned our lesson.

I don’t think we are crushing this year. But that’s always what I want. Also, if you struggle several times in conference you aren’t winning a national title. SDSU and NDSU generally only drop one FCS game or two in regular season. I want us to win a national title. Sweep the leg !!!!!!
