Glad as always to see this thread Mvem, looks great so far. Please go easy on my Thunderbirds when the GWC roles around, we were so close to getting another win over an FBS opponent. Sorensen getting hurt and being out for pretty much the 2nd half and a boat load of penalties didnt help, hope we can clean up our act and fast.
The only thing "surprising" about the Sac-Weber game, IMO, is that there wasn't more scoring.
I would nominate EWU's win over the Griz as most surprising. I was banking on the Griz coming out p!$$ed after the egg they laid vs Cow Poly.
SuperHornet's Athletics Hall of Fame includes Jacksonville State kicker Ashley Martin, the first girl to score in a Division I football game. She kicked 3 PATs in a 2001 game for J-State.

Oh I'm talking about this last Saturday's performance. But I agree I too see JMU getting burned in a close one the team is gonna be fired up. Probably more than when they played Ball St. Coming off a stupid loss that never shoulda happened and knowing this is there chance of redemption. Liberty will be a new football team this Saturday and I can't wait to see it
