People people people. Remember when we were FCS and we weren't event THAT dominant before we moved? Many of you thought we were above the competition. Well, we are way above the Sun Belt competition. That's the comparison. Simply saying we deserve better.

I legit think we could compete, maybe not win it all, but compete in the AAC. Pipe dream I know.

Lots of ball still to play this season. I don't think the conference is ours to win.

Side note. Wife asked why I'm not coming to bed when this game seems to be headed to a blow out. I told her, same reason I stay at home games even when it's a blow out.

That and she didn't promise me anything if I came to bed haha.

I'm braced for the arguments.
I don't know if you've noticed, sport but Furman football SUCKS these days. They've never recovered from that Semi-final loss to us in '05. We are seeing far better competition now.

0-6 this year so far. Chatty and El Cid are undefeated though.

I have to question your sight if you think this isn't a better brand of football from the SoCon and FCS.

Lamb is a zone killer, much better throws tonight.

You say we deserve better yet you're wishing for us to return to playing Furman. They're 0-6 btw. Your first post was pretty much one big contradiction. Yeah we can play with most G5 schools and surprise a P5 every now and again but we don't deserve anything yet after 1.5 bowl eligible seasons.

We are better because of coaching and recruiting

24-0 games tend to do that on here. Related to the game though....Lamb looks better and better each week. Defense is doing well as always. Rubino made a field goal. Although I miss Cox personally, the team did not skip a beat.

Hope Moore is ok. Though it will be good to get Boyd some reps.

These week day games are brutal for attendance. Glad we don't have any this year.

What a change from last year. A stable of backs in cox, upshaw, Moore, Boyd.
Real shame upshaw couldn't stay eligible this year
