Eh? :huh:
[SIZE=3][B]#338 Centenary[/B] - The Gents are moving down to D3 starting in 11-12, so the next 2 yrs remaining in D1 could get ugly for coach Greg Gary.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][COLOR=Green][B]#337 WSSU[/B] - What is it about WSSU that makes everyone shoot so poorly from the line (WSSU: #344 in 09; opponents: #343)?[/COLOR][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][B]#336 Tx Southern[/B] - TSU started 1-20 before finishing 6-5. DeAndre Hall will be the key to the Tigers’ success this year.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][B]#335 Toledo[/B] - Definite rebuilding yr in Toledo, as 8 freshmen join what was the worst team in the MAC last year.[/SIZE]
[QUOTE=UNCCTF;438851]Eh? :huh:[/QUOTE]
I thought the same thing, but you know how that “best fit at the time” works.
[SIZE=3][B]#334 Alabama A&M[/B] - Loss of Trant Simpson to personal problems will not help, but it will be up to Evan Hilton to get A&M moving again.[/SIZE]
Last year was 343. This year is 347. Who are the new 4?
Great West? That’s a long way from the East Coast, Jersey Tech. And I thought we had long travel with Sun Belt, Metro, Cusa, & A14.
this is cool.
[QUOTE=HP49er;438852][SIZE=3][B]#338 Centenary[/B] [/SIZE][/QUOTE]This is a little sad.
At one time, not only was our win over highly ranked Centenary (in a SOLD OUT Charlotte Coliseum) our all-time best win, but it was the win that solidified our 1st ever post season invitation.
