It’s been almost three years. Over a thousand days. A budding rivalry that has barely gotten off the ground will finally go up, on a Tuesday. For the Mountaineers, it will be their first game played on the second night of the work week. Arkansas State is no stranger to Tuesday’s, having played eight such games. This game sits out on an island, or a cape, perhaps an isthmus, as App’s only game in twenty calendar days. Whichever your water feature of choice, this game has been landlocked as a premier match up in conference play. Both schools want to host the initial conference championship game and a win by either would go a long way in securing that honor. Only one of the two can host the game, but both could potentially participate. Beyond the importance of Tuesday night, is the possible chess match that could unfold if both teams played again. Before we get ahead of ourselves, we’ll remind you how both teams have won on each other’s field in the two games that have been played, and although not many players remain on each side, the head coaches do. That’s a feat in itself. Their conflicting styles will factor into this result. Whether it be slow and steady or uptempo and aggressive, one team will be ahead of the curve by the time that Tuesday is gone.

I think that we slip a bit here.

A-State will come out hungry and looking for blood, but I think the depth and superior skill of the App State team wears them down. I'll not be surprised if the Red Puppies take a lead into the half, but the final 30 minutes will be all Mountaineers.

I like it when Satt has 10 days to plan.

I feel another lopsided win coming....our first string offense hasn't stayed on the field for anywhere near a full game since Penn State..defense is playing lights-out...special teams putting on a clinic this year...

Travel and Tuesday night away won't help, but I think we come out on top after stuffing their early burst of confidence.

I think this will be an interesting game.

Will be interesting to see how the Tuesday night contest affects us. I think the Red Wolves will be up for this, but it won't be enough. Hope we show up sharp and with a chip on our shoulder....

Staton wins it walk-off style. No way we win this game running away. Sun Belt will find any way possible to keep it close.

I will go conservative. This is if we have some mistakes but still pull through. If we are as good as some of us hope we could pull away by a lot more.
