Bottom 25 - Week 1

When some of you guys get down just remember when we were a resident of this inauspicious list - The SunBelt still has a large presence ---

Some are rather unwarranted.

Not a very good job by them this time around. Some of those teams don't deserve it - Troy for example.

It's a crap list but ECU's spot is warranted for now, and that's what matters.

You guys do understand it is basically a joke??? - he has always thrown a couple of teams in there who clearly aren't in the worst 25 just to highlight a very bad game, etc., also I think he made it clear that some (like Troy) wouldn't be there long --- lighten up - this guy usually has funny stuff from week to week ---

He seems to enjoy listing good teams early in the season when they start out with a loss. We should probably be glad that App didn't make the list. No way that Troy should be on there....as well as some others.

People are in meltdown mode on Boneyard Banter. A lot of ECU fans needed a dose of reality. Maybe some of them will think twice about looking down at us now. There schedule is brutal over then next month. Va Tech, WVU, USF. They may be 0-4 soon.

Would be a major upset if they aren't. They may well lose all those by 20+.

More EZU fun.

I'm used to the bottom 10 vs the bottom 25 of cbs.

EZU did a FOI request to get AD Compher's new contract extension. He went from $365k set to expire in 2018 to $435k guaranteed through April of 2023.

And because they are showing up on these "bottom" lists, now some of their fans believe JMU could beat half of the FBS. Not to knock JMU as Houston has done a fantastic job but the Pirates sound like they've had a bit to much rum since the beat down!

JMU probably could beat a lot of FBS teams. Unfortunately for ECU fans, the same can't be said of their team.
