Watching W&M versus Charleston Southern. Halftime band playing Steppenwolf, Born to Be Wild.

8-7.

CSU has 16 total yards…all on the ground. W&M has 195 yards.

CSU’s points came on a kickoff return after W&M opening drive FG. W&M kicked in another FG and they got a Safety on a play where they could have had a TD.

If the Tribe can get out of their own way, it is just a matter of time before the dam breaks and they win going away.
Tubby: 3 national titles, one won on the field, all D2
Keeler: 3 national titles, all won on the field, one as a player, two as a coach, 1 D2, 2 FCS
Carty: 2 on-field national titles, one as a player, one as an OC, both FCS

Carty - get an FBS bowl win!

How so? Campbell's resume has hardly been stellar so far. They lost at home by two scores to the only ranked team they've played so far.

Six unanswered touchdowns? No.

Six straight touchdowns? Yes.

Do better SI staffers.

An even better gaffe was on the GameDay Programs they handed out yesterday. If you look at the St Francis Roster page, where the Coaches are listed it's actually the RICHMOND staff on there.

Last week they counted our 1968 game vs Indiana PA as a former Big Ten opponent. Need to do better

good morning BG- I commented at the release of our 2023 CAA schedule last year that this team would be no pushover. Their record this season is a valid example they have arrived as a challenge at our FCS level. Their roster is starting to look interesting, especially the ability of their former HC to recruit nationally(specifically Florida kids) as well as utilizing the transfer portal. I'm in no way believing they are going to win an NC but the arrow appears to be heading in the right direction under Minter. When we face them it may turn into a good indication of where RC and our Blue Hens are heading.

Two wins against very weak competition and a double-digit - albeit reasonably competitive - loss at home to a ranked FCS team. I remain highly skeptical of this would-be burgeoning FCS powerhouse; however, the sub-division FCS may be at its lowest competitive level in about 40 years. Anything's possible, or the Soup Company could very well have 4 or 5 more losses on the remaining schedule.

What game was that?

63-7 is competitive?

Maybe in Jai Alai

I think he's referring to the Camels. My first impression of Campbell is a poor man's Miami Hurricanes. Lots of athletes and talent and a lot of trash talking and swagger. But nowhere near the Hurricanes' defense. They've been inconsistent and i suspect they will continue to be inconsistent.
