2026 49er Football Week 1 - Game #1 vs The Citadel - 9/5 3:30PM ESPN+

For anyone interested, the line hasn’t moved a single point!! :exploding_head: Stuck at -15.5 :pick::pick::money_bag::money_bag:

Only disadvantage we should have is they have a game under their belt.

I worry about this too. Most coaches will tell you the biggest improvement in their team is from week 1 to week 2. We are playing a team that has taken that step when we have not. I still except us to handle The Citadel without a great deal of trouble, but lets not panic if it take a few possessions for us to get our footing.

Here is an extra ‘supplemental’ scouting report of The Citadel after their game with Wofford:

The original A.I. generated scouting report is Post 2 in this thread. I realize it’s A.I. slop and I’m sure if I gave this to a halfway-intelligent coach, I’d get laughed at. But - for a fan, it’s kind of like enjoyable pregame color commentary. Good for a Monday morning read. Feel free to view & download & share.

BTW - Last season gave me PTSD. Double digit losses in every single FBS game plus a back-and-forth squeaker against Monmouth will do that to you.

But I’m still (naively) getting hyped up for Game 1! Let’s go win the opener!

If you haven’t got tickets yet (especially in the discounted sections) I’d go ahead and jump on it. There’s not too many of them left.

I feel for anyone in the sun. Fortunately the new upper deck construction shades my seats from about 1:00 on.

Also there’s a 40% chance of rain/thunderstorms that afternoon/evening.

ESPN and most odds makers now have us favorites by 20.5 points

Yup I am in the shade as well. Hopefully the rain/storms hold off till after the game.

El Cid game in Charleston back in 14 was a burner, on the field and in the stands.

I had rented a house on IoP for that weekend. It was so damn hot we went out on the beach instead. Think I may have listened to it online.

Guard position looks worrisome. Where are green and pierre-nau
