9/15 @VMI - W - Bucs starts off conference schedule on a winning note.
9/22 Furman - L - Paladins have the edge by virtue of them being in Year 2 of Hendrix but it can go either way.
9/29 Chattanooga - W - Bucs take a win against their in-state rival.
10/6 Gardner-Webb - W - Bucs have a happy homecoming.
10/13 @The Citadel - W - Bucs catch Bulldogs in a downward slide.
10/20 @Wofford - W - No offense but Sanders > Conklin.
10/27 Western Carolina - L - Catamounts win a game that could go either way.
11/3 @Mercer - W - Bucs make it two in a row against the Bears.
11/10 Open
11/17 Samford - L - This could go either way.

I think ETSU can put together a solid season with a comeback similar to what Furman had last year.
Figured I give this a boost since I wanted to show how close I was at this point. I now like ETSU's chances against Western Carolina and possibly Samford (our defense > WCU AND VMI). I was money when I said the Furman game was closer than it was the past two seasons. ETSU's performance so far was confirmation of my theory that ETSU wins the best head coaching hire award for FCS this past offseason.
