Yep, you got it. I might switch Central Ark vs. Samford, but otherwise it looks pretty solid.

i am really looking forward to the curb stomping of davidson after all those years of them not playing ball in the socon

Why start this a month out?

You got something more pressing to talk about? Maybe CCU joining the SB.

Sure. But practice just started. Your picks could be wrong if something were to happen to certain players from now until game day. Just sayin'.

I see your point, but something could happen to certain players the night before game as well........

Yes. Statistically though, something is more likely to happen in the 30 days before the game than in the 24 hours before the game.

Do you care to provide the name and results of that statistical study, or did you just make that up cause it sounds good?

I just figure there's more time between today and Sept 5 for something to happen.

That sounds like a threat.

VMI has a dangerous QB and they could well sneak up on Ball State. I think they will lose, but they could be in it in the 4th.

Our coach has implemented a no-huddle offense, so we may surprise them out of the gates. But although Ball State was 5-7 last year in the MAC, they did upset Bowling Green on the road by 17 in the season finale. I think by the time the 4Q rolls around the game will be well in hand...

only 5 days until the SoCon opens play.....
