Score predictions? I’m going to be optimistic and say we lose 45-17.

We keep it respectable early, go in to the half down 10, then the flood gates open in the 3rd. Think they also score a special teams TD and a defensive TD. Just a crazy talented team.

Yeah, hope we keep it “respectable”, but I don’t see it. 45-7. :frowning: I see them scoring a special teams TD, a defensive TD (pick 6?), and a huge, over the top long TD pass. Just hope we have no major injuries in this game that could ruin the entire season that’s just starting.

However, we HAVE FBS FOOTBALL 8) and are now playing a Top 25 FBS team. :o This is the direction we all wanted to go, and we’re ON OUR WAY. :stuck_out_tongue:

BTW: What’s our payout for this game?

Advice for our players stay clear of Bobby Petrino on a motorcycle and avoid dining at restaurants frequented by Rick Pitino.

Charlotte quarterback Kevin Olsen was expected to make his FBS debut against Louisville two years ago to Thursday’s date when he was at Miami -

This is so cool, especially seeing a nationally ranked p5 program next to us. I am hoping to surprise some folks today.

Yeah, not such a great night to start on if you’re wanting to tick the Nielson box numbers.

37

Is there already a thread seeing where everyone is watching the game tonight?

I think so too, but there is a difference (to me at least) in losing 42-17 and losing 72-3. Tonight (and only tonight) I could probably handle the former, but not the latter. I expect us to be competitive (in the games into 3rd quarter at a minimum) most of the other games this season however.

We win by 2 with a walkoff safety
