GAC Week 1 Impressions

[BisonBones]

I’m pretty sure none of the sturm and drang of the discussion on here about the silo matters as much that these D2 programs have easier times making...

[BisonBones]

My first thought is the parity in the super region. Seems like we have a pretty good picture of good parity with the inter-conference games we've seen...

[BisonBones]

Hey, in 2017, Harding started 0-3 and made it to the national semifinals! Pitt State's gotta keep believing!

[BisonBones]

SWOSU's SNU game is before ECU. I'm thinking they want a long week before ECU because SWOSU thinks ECU is a reasonable target for an upset.
...

[BisonBones]

Everyone plays on Thursday the first game of the year. Makes sense. A few more days after fall camp won't make much difference. Gives you a long week...

HU by 49
Tech by 17
SAU by 31
ECU by 21
HSU by 28
OBU by 10

[BisonBones]

On the question of whether ECU won the game or OBU lost the game, put me down as a definitive "Both".

[BisonBones]

ECU definitely did some good things. The defense held in the 4th quarter and the offense executed a successful 2 minute drill to win it. But OBU also...

[BisonBones]

That'll do it...

[BisonBones]

I agree, they appeared to improve moving the ball in the 4th quarter. They had some great attitude/grit. They went up in the 2nd half but immediately...

[BisonBones]

The biggest news of the week is the upset in Ada. I caught a bit of the 2nd half. Both Tiger teams made mistakes, but the Orange Tigers were able to take...

[BisonBones]

I was just keeping track of scores, but looked like SAU started off strong against OkBU and HSU started slow against SNU. I'm thinking chances are one...

[BisonBones]

Mike Gambill has two columns up for the season. A preseason overview of the conference and a story focused on the Reddies. I'm thankful someone took over...

[BisonBones]

SR4 is very balanced. It ain't SR2 where people are now seriously discussing the possibility that the entirety of the GSC makes the playoffs....

[BisonBones]

Sorry, this sounds like you're saying the rumor is the GSC is looking in to shutting down the conference? That can't be right with 8 non football members?...

HU by 45

SEOSU by 14
HSU by 21
OBU by 17

[BisonBones]

Meanwhile there will likely be 3 loss teams on the bubble in the other super regions...

[BisonBones]

Repost of what I put in the LSC forum responding to a post about how hard it'll be to win the super region.

It really points out how ridiculous...

[BisonBones]

It really points out how ridiculous the old SR3 was. The GAC and MIAA are seeing the new SR4 as an upgrade with dropping the GLIAC/GVSU/Ferris. But we're...

[BisonBones]

HU, OBU, HSU, SAU, and DSU would be an impressive set of conference top 5 programs. If I were DSU, I would think that would be the most attractive option...
