Southland Slate week 1 (9/5)

[CatMom]

Western Illinois vs Sam Houston State (9/3)
Nicholls State @ Air Force
Texas A&M Commerce vs Southeastern Louisiana
Northwestern State @ Houston
Angelo State vs Texas State
Henderson State vs McNeese State
Stephen F. Austin @ Southern Methodist
Central Arkansas @ Hawaii


I'm not 'in the know' enough about the above FBS teams (this year) to take a stab at winners but I'm betting we'll have quite the list of "L's" for the SLC in week 1. McNeese? I've never heard of Henderson State

Our FBS game comes on Sept 19. I think we'll do ok but still be cut down at the knees.

Western Illinois vs Sam Houston State (9/3) - One of the better all FCS games this week - WIU wins
Nicholls State @ Air Force - easy Air Force Win
Texas A&M Commerce vs Southeastern Louisiana - SELA better win this
Northwestern State @ Houston - Houston by 15
Angelo State vs Texas State - Texas State by 20
Henderson State vs McNeese State - McNeese by 25
Stephen F. Austin @ Southern Methodist - could be close, but Ponies win
Central Arkansas @ Hawaii - Hawaii at home by 15

I didn't even know TAMU-Commerce had a football team

If TXST or McNeese lose we might as well hang it up.

There are actually several teams the SLC will be playing OOC that I have never heard of

Western Illinois vs Sam Houston State (9/3) - Best game of the week in the SLC. Should be close. If SHSUs transfer Qb does good then they will win.
Nicholls State @ Air Force - Air Force wins
Texas A&M Commerce vs Southeastern Louisiana - SELA should have it easy
Northwestern State @ Houston - Maybe close to an upset but UofH wins
Angelo State vs Texas State - Better be a blowout by the Bobcats
Henderson State vs McNeese State - McNeese rolls
Stephen F. Austin @ Southern Methodist - Bobcats couldn't seem to do it last year so why should SFA?
Central Arkansas @ Hawaii - Maybe another upset chance. Distance kills Bears in the end.
