Not to be a dick and perhaps this was pointed out in one of these threads already, but college starts in Cheney, Washington, 44 days from now....

So maybe YOU should have started a national countdown on when EWU kicks off the season, rather than when 99% of the rest of FCS football starts the season.

Oh…so this is exclusively a WCU thread? Carry on then.

49 for Chuck South. We play that Thursday night.

Of course it's not exclusively a WCU thread.

I didn't start this countdown, only tried to post in it each day. There is not a single countdown that could accurately reflect EVERY schools kick offs (with Thursday and Friday kickoffs, as well as the standard Saturday games), but a countdown that includes the majority of FCS schools kickoff date makes the most sense (to me anyway).

I didn't mean to step on your toes by posting in these threads, so since I did, this is the last time I'll post in the countdown on this board.

I think you're only the 50 bazillionth EWU troll to point this out.
