    Big South Rankings (After three/four games)

    1. Coastal (3-1) - Will win the league with a 4-0 mark
    2. VMI (1-3) - Should beat LU this weekend, GWU at home and CSU to finish 3-1
    3. G-W (2-1) - By Default
    4. LU (1-3) - Not surprised by losses, but shocked by the margin.
    5. CSU (2-2) - Going to the wire with a bad DII isn't a good sign.

    Thoughts, or does anybody care at this point?

    I can't argue with you on this one Thumper. I'm disappointed CSU is not any better. They have really struggled to win two against a non-scholarship team at home and a weak D-II on the road. Maybe the tragic death of their star WR just before the season has had effects.

    With Liberty, its not the losses, its been by how much has shocked me.

    Yeah, agreed.

    As for the Runnin' Bulldogs ... The wheels could fall off quickly and badly. The lack of energy in the second half Saturday was alarming and it bit their bums in the end. You're looking at a team that could easily be 2-5 after game #7 and that's trouble. Big trouble.

    The lack of energy at G-W was alarming. The team did not seem to be in it nor did the crowd. I believe everyone forgot that UTM was not a NAIA team and just called it in. I have never seen a self distruction like that. I have to hand it to UT-Martin's coach. The fake punt and onside kick kept them in the game when nothing was going UTM's way.
    I want to be a glass half full kind of guy and hope this was a wake up call.

    Thank goodness for Coastal's defense against DSU. Our offense put the ball on the ground five times and lost four of them. If we turn the ball over like that next week in Orangeburg, it will get ugly for the boys in Teal.

    All I want is a score. Any score. We can't be shutout four straight weeks, can we?

    I think you guys will score this week, but based on having seen both teams play the Tribe, I don't like your chances of winning.

    We're a really bad football team right now. I'm not sure I'd like our chances against any I-AA team not named Chuck South or Savannah St. You should see the bile being spewed toward our coach on our board. It's ugly.
