SoCon Week 0/1

[The Jackal]

Keeler coming in hot.

[Flagman]

Nothing to see here - move along

Agree with Bear.

[The Jackal]

Honestly, the players may appreciate a long weather delay. Temps have finally dipped below 100 and maybe they can play after the sun sets.

[Paul C]

This may be the year the playoffs finally come to the Five Star used car lot.

I’m not there so I don’t really know, but watching the radar this weather delay is a joke.

ESPN moved Mercer vs UNA game to ESPNU in case anyone still wants to watch.

[fupaladin01]

It seems Spectrum no longer has ESPNU. And when I try to watch on ESPN+, it says either “your event hasnt started yet- starts at 6:57” (it’s well after 7pm) when I click on the LIVE link, it says unavailable in your package/region (I live in GVL). Anyone else having issue?

It's on Spectrum channel 810.

With or without the delay that was a pretty boring game and did nothing for FCS football.

[Stumpy]

If UMass beats NM State, that does something for FCS....

[FU Hoopla]

Mercer vs. North Alabama crowd looked really bad for both teams

Neutral site, hot as hell!

It's positive for a SoCon to get an out of conference win.

While this was not a "must win" game for Mercer, it was a "really need to win" game. So, winning ugly works fine for them in a results-oriented business.

And neither school has a fan base that cares to travel anywhere for football
My point exactly, this game was pointless as far as being a showcase is concerned

It's an interesting decision. Playing on ESPN means something, certainly. The drive wasn't THAT far for either fan base.

Announced attendance was around 5500. So, both schools probably would have done better hosting that game in terms of attendance. Weather is a factor, too, of course. Sitting through a football game in late August in 100 degree temps is brutal.

Absolutely....AND....

Double-digit W (17-7) over a talented Team.

1-0

No significant injuries of which FUBeAR is aware.

Lots of great learnings providing roadmap for improvement.
