Actually, it'd be more fun to have CAA vs SoCon. AppSt vs UD would be insane in Chatty.

He had a one week hiccup, and reverted to his CAA-homerism ways it seems.

We have Coulson, the CAA has Burton.

I hope Burton is right also not only an all CAA Final but everyone wants to see us and Delaware match up again after 5 OT's this time it would be settled in regulation with the Spiders on top ! But first we must beat App State and take care of Business.

GO SPIDERS!!!

Look at my avatar, of course I am an ASU homer!

But Burton has made it no secret to being a CAA homer all year long to anyone that can read, just like Coulson has a long history of favoring the Apps. I do not know Burton's history, did he cover a CAA team for a while before being moved to a national stage?

Burton is a Lehigh guy.

Ah yes, you are right. Burton...Bruce. Both got "B" and "u" there, it's all the same. xsmiley_wix
