VS 
We're now 3 days away from our first game of the season...time to start talking about this week's game.
You can check out the game notes over here: http://goleathernecks.com/news/2015/8/3 ... 50039.aspx
Massey Ratings has us about a 10 point favorite, with a 76% chance of winning the game...most likely score of 34-24: http://www.masseyratings.com/game.php?gid=604223243
(then again, they had NDSU beating Montana by 11)...so, who knows.
First game of the season, it's pretty hard to tell how things are going to shake out. Who's going to step up from last year? What areas will we drop off in? The nice thing about this game though is that quite often the first game of the year is against a team that we're either expected to destroy (Valparaiso, Hampton, Butler, etc.) or a team that "should" destroy us (Arkansas, Toledo, etc.) so we often don't get a real great read on how the team is really going to perform against teams that are roughly at our skill level. I'd say that overall, we're pretty evenly matched with Eastern, so this should be a good test for both of us.
For those in the area but unable to make it to the game, you can listen to the game on the Leatherneck Sports Network: http://goleathernecks.com/news/2015/8/3 ... 54351.aspx
For those not in the area, you can listen online at http://www.wrmsfm.com/listen-online/ or using the TuneIn app and searching for WRMS.
If you have access to ESPN3/WatchESPN through your TV/Internet provider, the game will be available on that through apps on various streaming devices (Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire, etc.) or online.
Weather at kickoff is currently projected to be ~89 degrees with ~47% humidity and essentially no chance of rain. Sunset will occur roughly 90 minutes after kickoff. So, it'll be a warm one, especially for those of us sitting on the East side, looking right into the sun.
