I’ll flip between that game and our game with WKU. Thursday is a busy day in the SLC. 7 days to go!

I'm curious what the Southland people actually think of SLU, I've heard some stuff from SLU fans, but I also heard from MVSU fans last year they would come into our place and kick our **** in. So I'd like to hear some 'less' biased thoughts just to get an idea on how much of what I've heard is reasonable.

I saw quite a few predictions for SLU in the SLC week 1 thread. I'm curious whether that's because SLU is better than their previous season indicates or disdain for JSU.

SELA..... They are a middle of the pack SLC team, so think of them more like a top tier OVC team. Their defense should be improved under Guidry. JSU should have no issues in this one even though SELA seems to play better in bigger games.

Ditto. SLU is a midlevel SLC team. They play fast and the games I've been to they hit hard. Strawberry is typically a tough place to play for any team. Two years ago they hung with just about everybody including their FBS opponents. Last year they hung with their FBS opponent ULM but had trouble throughout the year. They were the bipolar team last year. They return Virgil Chason at QB (unless I missed something) who threw for over 3000 yards last year (59% comp. rate) but also threw 13 picks. Cut off the passing game and follow what Nicholls did in their 44-0 win against SLU and you should be fine. As an SLC fan I hope they recruited talent to help that QB. A run game would be nice to assist.

A home contest for the Lions. Always a tough place to play. Lions have a returning QB and most likely an improved defense under former McNeese head coach/defensive coordinator Lance Guidry. By the way, the Lions prefer SLU, as far as I know.

Is Guidry new to SLU?

Yes. He is SLU's new defensive coordinator.
