Somehow, we have all made it to Wednesday. But this hump day is unlike any other, its also our "Friday", or Gameday Eve. Whatever you generally refer to as the day before the game day, it has a different feel. One cannot simply go to work or the grocery store this week in Boone without small talk about what will take place under the lights on Thursday night. It's more than just a football game this week. A national television audience has brought an increased media presence to the High Country for Appalachian to show to the world what makes it a special place. Mix in the the opponent, easily the most hated of them all, and Thursday night has all the makings to be a night to remember. Luckily, there is something to play for this season. Only two years removed from the Southern Conference, Appalachian and Georgia Southern have quickly vaulted to the top of the Sun Belt. As much as things change, they seem to stay the same. These two rivals have made the transition look incredibly easy. They are a combined 19-2 against Sun Belt opponents in their short history in the league. As it was the premier battle in the FCS for over two decades, it remains that way in the Sun Belt. In 2014, the conference rolled out the red carpet for App and Southern, pitting them against one another in their first Sun Belt game in their schools history. This season, the game is the main event on the Sun Belt calendar as perennial Sun Belt stalwarts Arkansas State and Louisiana were the warmup game on Tuesday. The winner gets a leg up in their conference title race and perhaps preferential treatment when bowl selections are made in about six weeks. Lastly, the winner gets to say to the loser, "We beat you" for the next calendar year.

Ok I'll Get It Started:

APP - 31
GSU - 24

Mountaineers - 38
Eagles - 24

I want an App win, anyway possible. I'd love 55 - 20. I would take 3-0. But I predict App - 35 GS - 31.

2015 Sun Belt Champs 35
2014 Sun Belt Champs 27

I am worried this all comes down to our D. If they can't stop them there can't be any mistakes at all by our O. Cannot have turnovers at all for this one.

Just going from head and heart combo.

GS - 28
Apps - 34

App 31
GSU 24

This will be close.

Mountaineers 38
Eagles 27

Apps 34
GaSo 30

GS only real chance is turnovers and eating up the clock with their offense
GS dominates the clock -App 27 GS 24
App contains their offense App 42 GS 17

Dominate D and good O beats good O and good D..... Apps offense will find plenty of holes in the GS defense . It will be clear be for all to see .... who is the best team this season in the SunBelt... Apps 41
Gaso 20 ( by the way... this is the only SB team that scores 20 pts.on Apps in 2015)

App O - 34
App D - 7
What's an app? Can I get one for my bag phone? 24

Neers 31
Parrots 21

Apps 38
Stink 21

If they load the box we will burn them deep. Have to limit their third down conversions. I see three big plays- a pic, fake or another big run by Taylor.

Have been having a really good feeling about this one all day today. I think that Taylor burns them early and it really opens up our running game. D stands tall AGAIN !
