I'm pretty sure ODU will finish better than 6-5! :thumb: You guys are going somewhere with that football program! Crazy stuff how much snow you guys are getting down there! Even crazier was how we were supposed to get a coating to an 1" up here in NW Va. and ended up with 6+"! Can't wait for winter to be over with already!

Haha, I've never seen this much snow in Norfolk. Quite a scene! Beautiful really.

I realize you'd be happy to go 6-5, but if you DO happen to go 10-1, buy your tickets early, because I'm bettin' you'll be hosting. :nod: :nod: :nod:

I can't wait for our first home playoff game, whenever that may be. It's going to be one helluva an atmosphere and a very special event. It won't get a loud as your stadium, but Foreman can get REALLY noisy. But again, I'll be happy to even be in the playoffs, home or away.

How big is your athletic budget that you can afford to switch on the stadium lights when the place isn't in use?

My guess is that the lights were on for security purposes. Foreman's been sneaked into more than a few times this year, so when you add snow and drunk kids on a Saturday night, I can imagine a security issue arising.

How expensive it? I see local high schools and rec fields with their lights on all the time.

All this ODU love makes me sick to my stomach. :roll: I'm thinking of buying a ticket to go to the W&M game, just to laugh.

Was thinking what it would take to make the playoffs. I thought Coastal made it pretty fast, but I just looked and it was their 4th year. They did go 10-1 in year 2...

W: Morehead, Davidson, North Greenville, Charleston, VMI, Liberty, G-W, Savannah St, Jacksonville, Chuck Southern

L: Newberry :oops:

W&M and CalPoly clearly better than anyone on that Coastal schedule, but if ODU loses to those two, are their wins appreciably better? The one thing they'd have going for them is the expanded field... and 20,000 fans (OK, two).

It should. They already could be better than our Tigers. ;)

For ODU to make the playoffs next year we would probably have to do undefeated with convincing wins over W&M and Cal-Poly. Other than that you can cue up the Mora video again.

10-1 could do it as long as W&M or CPSLO are both decent. Chances are G-W would stack up as a pretty decent win too.

And we know that won't happen! The schedule is much improved over last years with W&M, Hampton U., Cal Poly, and G-W. :thumb: Our team will also be much improved although our W-L record might not show it. :thumbdown:

I believe the lights were on because we had recruits in town for official visits.
