Well, we should have had that game against SEMO. I like seeing us being competitive in games, but things fell apart in the second half. I also felt like we were relying too much on trying to hit "home run" long passes that mostly didn't connect.
Anyway, on to our final weekend of the 2025 season at Gardner-Webb. GWU has been surprisingly good this season. They were predicted to finish tied for 6th with Eastern Illinois, ahead of only Tennessee State and Charleston Southern, however they now find themselves at 3rd place, 7-4 overall and 5-2 in the conference. They opened the season beating a ranked Western Carolina 52-45, then lost at FBS Georgia Tech 59-12. Traveling back home, they beat the Citadel 23-13, then lost another at FBS Ohio, 52-35. In the OVC/Big South, they beat Charleston Southern 30-24, and Eastern Illinois 21-10. They lost against UT Martin, 37-7, beat Lindenwood 48-20, lost to the "top dog" Tennessee Tech, but only by 6 (27-21, then beat SEMO 27-24 and won at Tennessee State last weekend, 30-14.

Massey has us as the #91st team in the FCS, while they are 34th. It gives them a 73% chance of a win with a predicted score of 38-28. We could pull out a win, but it'll be tough. It'll be another warm November game, with weather predicted to be in the low 70s on Saturday in NC.

Rocky needs to make the road trip this weekend to meet up with brother in kind 'Bo'.  My roadtrip will be to Orlando to watch Iowa Hawkeyes women's basketball.  Doing some scouting for JD Gravina.
