Welcome to EKU

I hadn't really focused on how good their defensive end is who transferred in from OSU.  He was a five star recruit from PA and ranked 4th in the entire class coming out of high school.  Given the fact that he was arrested in May for public intoxication and the added fact that we have some players suspended for the same type of stuff, that Noah sit out tomorrow's game.  All in favor??

Right now I'm finding the black cloud behind every silver lining but with the STs also likely loaded with freshman in their first game.....

Actually he was not arrested for public intoxication. He was Arrested for breaking a beer bottle on the street. Was said it was not his  and that he was "tossing it into a garbage can" and missed. . That is our story and we are sticking to it.    ALL charged dropped.

Back atcha Colonels.   

BTW, I'm a little miffed that our game wasn't included in this.......http://ftw.usatoday.com/2015/09/six-week-1-college-football-games-to-watch-espn-nbc-fox-sports-1

Game Day Baby!!!!!   Go Saders!!!  Fight on SC!!!

[VULB#62]

Lee Corso and the ESPN guys will be there, right?   

BTW Understand that Sarkisian is taking his southern Californian (not the university, the geographic location) environment very seriously and is going into rehab along with half the population 

[usc4valpo]

not so fast my friend!! 

at least when Sark was in his inebriated state, he did not consistently ramble on with Osteen quotes...

ESPN reports that Coastal Carolina got the bid to the FBS Sun Belt Conference.  Condolences FGColonel. We know what it is like to get passed over like that. We had hopes of getting a bid to the Valley a couple of years ago but lost out to Loyola 

Too bad.  I was actually kind of pulling for EKU, if nothing more than to say that we had a future FBS member on the schedule this year.  If the Sun Belt pulls the plug on the NMSU and Idaho "football only" thing, EKU might be in play again. 

As for this game, I say we just take our chances and stack 50 guys in the box and see what happens.  The refs won't notice, right?

[IndyValpo]

7 freshman on the offensive line 2-deep including 2 starters plus a redshirt freshman QB.....this one could very easily be ugly early and often.  If we can hold them to the 40's, score once or twice and not get banged up I would be satisfied. 

My prediction....62-7.

Are any of you guys in Richmond for the game. Cooking a big Boston Butt as we speak. Stop by for some home-made pulled pork, baked beans and coal slaw.

sure sounds good!  Thanks for the invite.  I'm stuck in Dallas (live here) and won't get home from the office till near halftime. Will catch the balance on the OVC network.  Hope to see your third string playing most of the game!

Ah, blackened cabbage with mayo, right?

EKU 7-0 at 10:55. 36 yd pass a killer.  Couple good things on D  though.

[VULB#62]

14-0 on a 56 yd. pick six  on a 4th down at mid field.

VU long snapper and punter serving suspensions.

Jean Rene (F) is the go-to-guy in the slot.

We are actually getting a couple of 1st dns.

[VULB#62]

Held them to a 3 and out.  Great Catrine punt return.

[VULB#62]

Stokes is showing very well despite the pic-6.

[VULB#62]

Valpo drives inside the 10 but must settle for a FG.  EKU 14 VU 3 @ 11:39 2nd Qtr.

[VULB#62]

EKU breaks a  62 KO return.  Ball on VU 30.

[VULB#62]

Held them to a FG @ 9:02 in the 2nd.  EKU 17 - Valpo 3.  So far we are not backing down and the O is actually producing (relatively).

[VULB#62]

Valpo forces a 3 and out.  really.

[VULB#62]

Dbl reverse for a EKU TD after a good punt return  + a hit out of bounds.  JJ Nunes hurt.

[VULB#62]

95% humidity 

[VULB#62]

now 31-3 with 39 secs left in the half.  EKU actually has a real honest to goodness marching band.
