We need to take over their stadium next month and make it a de facto home game.

I’ll be there with the family, making a trip to the aquarium.

I’m afraid they’ll score a TD against us. Hart is a great WR and oline playing much better.

Not that it really matters, but I'm generally pulling for any SBC team we play this year when they face a team we don't. So, nice win for GSU.

USA is so overrated.

I thought GaST looked much better on both sides - agree Hart is a great WR - I agree with teams we don't play losing to teams we do ---

Though GSU looked good, do believe ULM and SA were a bit overrated coming in. But all of our remaining games will probably be competitive it seems.

Exactly. USA has one quality win over Troy who was clearly still celebrating the LSU win. USA didn't look good in that win, but Troy gave them so many chances it finally bit them.

They've gotten a lot of mileage out of their two inexplicably good nonconference wins last year, such that people consider them one of the Sun Belt's better teams despite the fact that they went 2-6 in conference play (not to mention 4-7 overall vs. FBS teams).

I think mainly it just grinds my gears a little when they get thrown into the "App's conference schedule is so soft" talking point, i.e., "App doesn't even have to play A-State, Troy or South Alabama!" First two, sure. Last one, who cares?

USA probably is a bit over rated this year, but they have been a team that was extremely inconsistent and when "on" their game, they were capable of playing very well. They completely dominated App in 2014, although that was a couple of weeks before the lights came on for our program. In 2015 they gave us an extremely tough game as well though. Honestly, I can't figure them out at all.

As embarrassing as the Liberty loss the following week was, that USA game was just as bad IMO. Factor in bone-chilling winds (in early October) and the "stripe the stadium" flop, and it was overall one of the saddest experiences I've ever had in KBS.

I'm with you on that. It was one of the most miserable home game experiences I've ever had in KBS.

Concerning the rest of the games on our schedule Georgia State "scares" me. UMass, Monroe, The Stink, and LaLa, if we stay focused should be wins. Let me tell ya, Shawn Elliott is going to have GaSt ready and focused for our game. Once again, we can't take anyone for granted particularly Elliott's team, just have an eerie feeling. Just a thought.

I'll be at the game over Thanksgiving break, bringing a few with me. Planning on heading down friday to check out Stone Mountain Park and then tailgating for the game Saturday. I've never purchased tickets for an away game before other then the bowl games. I can purchase them through App's ticket office, right?

Yes, though I'm not sure when the deadline is for them to ship them. I've always just ordered my away game tickets before the season. Plus in some cases the visiting team returns unsold tickets, though I'm not sure what the point of that would be here. But if you just call within the next couple weeks I'd imagine you'll be fine.

If you're taking I-85 to the game be aware of major road construction NORTHbound around Spartanburg. But southbound I-85 slows down around Cowpens. I traveled it on Friday afternoon a couple of weeks ago... can only imagine what Thanksgiving weekend will be like!
