Well, It's been 8 years since I posted. Looking forward to the Game.

Walk-on
I'm not sure what I was doing in 2012 when when Arkansas State played in Lincoln, but I always admired your fan base and rooted for you guys when we weren't playing. (See my post history)

A lot has changed in 5 years, for both teams. And then in a lot of ways, not so much. 

You may not know this but our OC from last season was demoted and Blake Anderson has taken over play calling duties. We also had a really strong (and physical) fall camp this year, rather than the flag football BS from last year. 

Expecting to at least give you guys a good game. (hopefully)

Lastly, don't get too excited about the fact that we are replacing 4 OL. They were not known to be very physical players and were recruited for an entirely different style of offense. (Think more running QB spread vs Pocket, etc). It was a handicap for us now and reportedly this group has shown a lot of promise, though not tons of depth.

Any idea how many Ark State fans are making the trip up to Lincoln?

I'd guess 500. 

Its a pretty good drive. I had tickets but can't make it due to a wedding. I already don't want to go to a wedding ever, especially on opening weekend.

 My mother-in-law got remarried the day of the BYU game a couple years ago. My brother-in-law and I managed to find a TV just as BYU threw the hail mary. 

Also, it was a cash bar.

I expect a more competitive game than the point spread implies.  I guess I can see us beating the spread by pulling away in the fourth quarter with the aid of an easy score off a turnover, but I think it will be a contest for three quarters.

Thanks for giving your take on your team.  I always appreciate that.

 
My wife knew to schedule outside of football season but my cousin got married during a game. The entire wedding party showed up about 10 minutes before the start, we were all watching the game at someone's friend's mom's house that was a few blocks from the church.

I was Married on Oct 16th 2010 right after the Texas NU game.  Fortunately me and my buddies could watch the entire game at the bar of the golf course we were married at before the wedding started(ok we pushed it about 30 minutes because SHE was still getting ready haha).  We all know how that game went, I should have just dvr'd it.
