Georgia Southern, 3:30 p.m. kickoff, ESPNU

[BambooRdApp]

I have never bought into it until maybe now, but I have seen it said on here that no stripes on the helmets is the key to success. I'm pretty sure we did not have stripes on the helmets in the last 3 games, maybe in the game against So. Miss, but not the last 3. Just in case, hoping for no stripes this week.

It's real dude .it's real.

The last we had a lot riding on a season, we had crappy weather and Georgia stopped our unbeaten season. Hell no, no bad weather. If somebody wants bad weather football the Bears, Packers, and Broncos, or the NY teams.

I don’t care what the weather is as long as we smoke that pipe.

On this matter, you are 100% correct!!

At -8.5 now

At -8.5 now

The opening move is so much more important than the late ones. Last week JMU opened at 12 quickly dropped to 9.

Hope it snows. Essentially a night game at 3:35pm in the mountains.

Please no, we aren’t a poor weather team.

We had the playoff game against Western Illinois or something and it snowed a lot, otherwise I don't remember a great track record with snow or very cold weather or rain.

Georgia State. Mountaineers came out for warm ups shirtless. Cold as you know what. By 4th qtr Ga St was ready to get on the bus.

[Pikapp79]

Cold weather suits us. Bring it on.

[biggie]

Trying to figure out if I could find tickets and decent parking for a good price. Then try to convince the wife and 2 boys into being cold that day.

Ga Southern is really struggling right now. Especially on offense which should be their strength. A lot of their fans are mad at the coaching staff for letting down the players...

All of that goes out the window. We have to get revenge for them ending our season last year. We are playing for the championship for the 4th straight week.

Always scared this season when a team is supposed to be struggling on offense. Recently D is greatly improved so I'll hope for the best.

[App_in_Maiden]

Wins/losses/ranks/ etc never matter in this game. We need to come in fired up and never let off the gas. Need to contain all emotions from the JMU game and play the way we have been.

[mike87]

Coastal's going to run into a seriously pissed off JMU. We likely control out destiny again. Get that ring!

[BambooRdApp]

I am glad both games are at same time. Just focus on what we need to do.

[Longrifle28]

Turning our focus and attention to hate week!

All three rating services (espn, Sagarin and Massey) have us as favorite from 7 to 11 points. 6 common opponents and we are 4-2 and they are 3-3. If you look at season long statistics we are slightly better offensively and defensively. If you look at the last 3 games as common opponents, our defense has really turned the corner.

That said, we will be looking at the air raid this weekend. Offense will need to continue to produce and we will need to be able to run the ball some, and our defense will need to be ready to see passing all over the field. I would love to see us get the same pressure we got on JMU without having to blitz. Turnovers in this game will be key.

We owe them. It's been a thing of beauty to see us grow up. Just need to finish strong. Time to go to work....

To me this game is the make or break between an interesting but just OK season or a great season. Hopefully we don't lose to our biggest rival at home, in a huge game on national TV, and AE day.
There is so much at stake here. The outcome of the JMU - CCU game just makes it all bigger. Saturday will either be tremendously rewarding or tremendously disappointing.
I believe our coaches and players will be prepared and up to the task. This is why we play. Let's put our App State stamp on it.
