Eagles Cliff

I feel the pain of Husker fans. Georgia Southern is a proud program without the millions of dollars P5 schools have and our geography has us in the middle of Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Florida State, Clemson, South Carolina, and Tennessee. The past 5 years have been suckville and we're used to winning championships and teams fearing us. We won 6 I-AA/FCS NC and lost 2 in our first 16 seasons and had 2 separate runs of 39-0 at home. We were the first D1 football program to go 15-0 in the 20th century when we did it in 1989. I have long been a fan of the Cornhuskers from the Osborne Days and it was a thrill to finally attend the game in Lincoln. You're right, B1G schools shouldn't lose to Sunbelt schools, but it happens. In 2011, our option put up more yards and points on Alabama than anyone else on their schedule that NC year. I promise nobody wants to play North Dakota State. I've wondered for years why Nebraska hasn't been better. You've got plenty of money and fan support. Is it recruiting? IDK Your message board comments look exactly like ours the last several years. Don't ever lose the "we're supposed to win" mentality as a fan base. I love it that mediocrity is not acceptable for Big Red. I'm pleased with what I've seen so far from the Eagles but I still don't know how we'll do in conference play. The Sunbelt (I know P5 fans don't pay attention) has become the best G5 conference because we have a tigther geography made of schools that really care about football and baseball. Basketball is an afterthought. Marshall, App State, Coastal Carolina, Georgia Southern, Georgia State, Old Dominion, and James Madison are the East Division which is as competitive as any division in any conference. I'll continue routing for Big Red and want to than the fan base in general for the class and hospitality they showed to us visitors.
