ESU vs KittyKats Game Thread

[reloadmvp]

It's that time of the year again – the Emporia State Hornets are gearing up to face the Northwest Missouri State Bearcats 🟡⚫️

Now, I've noticed something interesting – it seems like Northwest Missouri State might be a bit hesitant to kick off this thread. Maybe they're just a tad bit scared? 😉 But don't worry, Bearcats, we promise to take it easy. I got tired of waiting so here it is!

After years of enduring some tough losses, it's about time we savor the sweet taste of victory. Let's break down the game and share our insights 🌟

Emporia by 50!

Northwest gonna Northwest like they have never Northwest-ed before. Bounce back game from a rough showing a week ago. How does it feel knowing your playoffs hopes are on life support by week 2?

Why did they decide to schedule this on the same day as the Chiefs opener? Seems like a losing battle for drawing attention to what should be a really big game.

Want to say Emporia by 10. But also saw how we handled close games against Pitt and NW at home last year, so while I think we have the talent I'm not really believing until I see it happen.

Pretty sure the schedule for MIAA was set before the chiefs won the Superbowl and had the Thursday opener.

simple solution….record the Chiefs and go to Bearcat game like we’re doing. Skip the commercials and save an hour of your time😎

i dispute yer prediction we can keep it under 50.
pls be gentle.
go cats.

[NWFanatic]

Will the Hornet receivers be able to see Gleason’s deep passes through the smoke?
will their Oline be used to the poor air quality(139 last time I checked)?

Come on reload, don’t jinx the Hornets…50 pts against the most respected program in the MIAA!

I hope reliad is right, but I think NW wins this one.

They are still nwmfmsu.

I picked Emporia because I think NW is vulnerable this year. Someone’s playoff hopes will be on life support regardless after tonight.

Last year's game was ugly to watch. Gleason won't be throwing 3 INT's. Question is whether NW can score without 2 QB's killing all rhythm. Defense will probably give up 31 tonight.

The D still looked solid up front to me. The back end just looked softish at times.

They better be. Front kept Gleason on his back last year. Not sure we'll get the same need this year with our weak over-the-top.
