    Considering we schedule games years ahead of time, I'd say no. Maybe the GSC didn't want to play the top of the SAC since none of your teams made it out of the first round last year, aside from Valdosta. I don't think this will be a blowout, it should likely be a very competitive game, but WF is not the favorite here.
    Of course LR is the favorite, 13-0 and the #2 seed, that could have been the #1 seed vs the #6 seed. Yes the rest of the GSC took a crap in the first round last season but the season before that all 4 GSC teams advanced past the first round and had to knock one another out of the playoffs. None of that crap matters this Saturday, not whose the favorite, not what seed you are, the only thing that will matter is which team shows up and outplays the other. It's been said a million times but the team that can limit turnovers and control the trenches should be in pretty good shape. If we win, fantastic, Go Argos! If LR wins, congrats and good luck in the rest of the playoffs.

    FYI : LR has 1 open date in 2020 and 2 in 2021, West Florida still has 2 open dates to fill in 2020 and 2 more in 2021, and no the dates don't coincide.

      Haha

      Do you post this on every game thread?

        UWF beats LR handily.

          Nah but the two threads I have posted it on have a common theme of one teams fans stating that they are world class and the team they're playing doesn't deserve to step on the field with them

            I almost always give the edge to a GSC team, but this one is up in the air. LR is a great team and even has some South Georgia Talent. Senior Landon Scott was on back to back undefeated Colquitt County State Championship teams here in Georgia. I think this game will determine the D2 National Championship.

                They are Busing, Close to 600 miles but not close enough!

                Go Argos! Hopefully, it'll be a great game!

                  We're only 90 minutes away from Hickory, so defiantly going to game.
                  I'll be pulling for our GSC brothers, but will be wearing bright red!!

                    Should be a good one, and weather should be much better than the the last time the Argos were in North Carolina. Here is my preview.

                      A little guide for WF fans as we've never played before.

                      Get a hotel near LR blvd and US 70, they're all fine, Red Roof is a little lower end, but still decent for the $$$.

                      Some good restaurants include the The Station, Tapp Room, Cafe Rule and Boca, the last two being higher end.

                      Get your tailgate supplies from Lowes Foods, its right by campus, there is a Publix too a little further, but the family that owns Lowes are one of LR's largest donors, so I always recommend them (awesome beer selection too).

                      If you're willing to make a slight drive after the game (about 25 minutes) downtown Morganton is beautiful and has several world class breweries in Catawba, Fonta Flora, and Sidetracked, as well as my favorite restaurants Root & Vine (very expensive for dinner).

                      *DIRECTIONS*

                      Hickory has an insanely confusing road system, if you're coming off I-40 east, you'll take a left, I-40 west you'll take a right onto Lenoir Rhyne Blvd, head straight on that road until you can't anymore, make sure you're in the left right turn lane, then take an immediate left again and head straight, stadium is on your left after you go through the next two lights, parking will fill up early so get there early! Your GPS may try to tell you to take a left after you go under the bridge on LR Blvd, ignore it, the roads to the stadium from that side will be closed for Bears Club and President's parking.


                      Have a safe trip everyone! Go Bears!

                          You blew everybody out last year. What a great team.

                            Thanks for these recommendations. I live by Lake Norman and my wife and I always like to get to Morganton in the fall. There is an apple orchard there we go to every year, but I've never been to these breweries. As fate would have it, we are doing a late Thanksgiving/early Christmas with my side of the family this weekend in Bryson City so I have to do the unthinkable of missing this game that would be so easy for me to get to. Any Argo fans that are making the trip, I would also recommend Asheville if you can find the time this weekend. It's probably about an hour and 15 minutes away from Hickory, but it's a really fun and beautiful place.

                              This is from Chuck Bitner's write up on the game...

                              The Bears are celebrating their 100th

                              Gosh, that really puts things in perspective. Really proud of what everyone at West Florida has done to make this football program so special.

                                In four years the Argos are only behind 22 teams in playoff wins and a deep run could land them in top 15-simply incredible!

                                Gooooo Arrrgggooosss!
