I'd rather he not mention it. When he spoke of it last time involving App State, the cupcake got the best of Goliath. That and I don't enjoy hearing Herbie say much of anything.

It is late and we need a date. I would say that Savannah St is our Alternate option X. If a better date becomes available then we can still ditch them.

Not too thrilled but.... it allows an easier game between two P5 schools. I just wanted to confirm that I wasn't smoking the wrong tobacco about whom we are playing.

They only would have had five home games in 2017, so pushed App back to 2022.

That's not a case of Akron "dropping us". That's schedule management and we worked with them.

Their players requested that the butt whipping get passed to the Akron players that are currently in middle school. :lol:

What a pooper!!

I would rather accommodate NC Central.
At least would be more butts in the stands.
Maybe scheduling conflicts would not allow for better choice but what a stinker.
KICK ASS!!!

IMHO, scheduling conflicts were more than likely the problem.

After a UGA win, it won't matter who we play. Butts will be in the seats.

Savannah State doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell to score against us.

On offense I agree. On defense/st anything is possible. Pick 6, scoop and score, or a punt/kick run back. It will be ugly when all is said and done.
