FCS nation we have a problem……
Well boys and girls we have a problem;I waited a week to see what this produced, but of teams that have been profiled on this blog Citadel since mentioning, 1-3. NDSU 1-1 since mentioning; Samford 0-2; and only cal poly has a winning record at 2-0.Which begs the question has this blog been cursed, and any team that gets mentioned begins a downard slide, or do I just choose to profile teams that really aren’t that great but have their tough games coming up. In any case, if there is a team you want me to profile in the hope that it will help your team beat them let me know and I will certainly do it. On that note-
Illinois State, well I don’t know what illisnois state is this year, and I don’t know what to think or say but this could be a good game. the one good thing about illinois state is isumatt; why is that you ask, check out his avatar, enough said.
Bison, Bulldogs, Mustangs, OH MY!
Well this is turning out to be an interesting season boys and girls, but I am going to focus on a couple of surprise teams for the year. While a few weeks back I gave the kiss of death to the Citadel bulldogs maybe I can reverse that curse today.
First I have to give a shout out to the bison of NDSU, and as much as it pains me to say they have proven why they are the best team in FCS by absolutly stomping the then-no.3 team Youngstown state in the dome in Fargo, this team seems highly unstoppable at this point, however we are only halfway into the season so you never know.
Now onto the surprises, First the bulldogs of Samford I tread lightly as their only “big” win on the season was against the citadel, and they got stomped by a decent Georgia Southern Team. As long as I am on the SOCON track, these next few weeks in the SOCON will determin ALOT as the top 3 teams(GA southern, Wofford, Samford and a down App State Team, all play basiclly round robin the next few weeks, My guess, Wofford comes out and shows that they are the class of the leage, going on the road to beat GA southern and App State)
Cal Poly-I say they are a surprise because well they have a high chance of ending the season with only one loss (@EWU) but when you compare thier schedule it isn’t all that tough, with no Montana State or Montana. However they could be a dark horse in a Big Sky sans a traditional powerhouse Montana.
Who are your Darkhorses this season.
