Indiana Press Release
Date: September 16, 2024 | Indiana is off to an incredible start in 2024 and is scoring at a rapid pace…
Game 64: Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles @ Louisiana Rajin’ Cajuns
It was this access that led us to a sign that said “Welcome to Da’ Swamp”. Now, according to Sam, Louisiana started using the Swamp moniker 2 years before Florida. A very quick, and I mean very quick, internet search of this reveals that there may be some truth to this.
Game 63: Florida Atlantic Owls @ Charlotte 49ers
The UNCC campus is a very pretty campus. It was bigger than I remember as I have been here before when looking at colleges with Jake. But it was just as beautiful as I remember.
Charlotte Press Release
Date: October 23, 2023 | “And with the 49ers coming off a big road win and FAU coming off a disappointing loss to UTSA, this should be an interesting game. ”
Game 62: Tulane Green Wave @ Memphis Tigers
The emcee for today’s performance was none other than Jerry Hart. The star performer was Jerry “The King” Lawler, who is a WWE Hall of Famer and brought to Memphis for wrestling night versus Tulane. So apparently this is a thing.
Game 61: UTEP Miners @ Florida International Panthers
The theme of this game is Vice Nights. I guess for copyright reasons it could not be called Miami Vice Nights, although there were a lot of references to that, Crockett and Tubbs imagery, and other things that let you know it was Miami Vice.
Memphis Press Release
Date: October 5, 2023 | “These teams have high expectations in the American Conference and this should be a great game.”
FIU Press Release
Date: October 3, 2023 | “We have been looking to get down to FIU for awhile and with my move down to Florida it presented the perfect opportunity.”
Game 60: UTEP Miners @ Jacksonville State Gamecocks
JSU should celebrate their first FBS game and a win. It is a huge milestone for a program making the jump up in class and a win over a team that is not a pushover. Both teams have significant work to do to compete at the top level of CUSA, but this was Week 0 and it is a long season.
Jacksonville State Press Release
Date: August 16, 2023 | “It is always exciting when a team makes the leap from FCS to FBS.” “And with Rich Rodriguez in his second year at the helm, it should be an exciting team to watch with lots of scoring. We are excited to see the Gamecocks first game at this level.”
Georgia State Press Release
Date: October 31, 2022 | “This will only be our second Sun Belt game, but if it is anything like our first, we are in for a great trip”
Game 59: Boise State Broncos @ Air Force Falcons
We continued our self guided tour on the Chapel Trail. A ⅓ mile walk (uphill both ways) to the Cadet Chapel which is normally the highlight of a trip to USAFA. But as the sign at the visitors center said, the cadet chapel is closed for a multi year restoration and the expected opening is 2027.
Air Force Press Release
Date: October 10, 2022 | “I have been to the USAFA in my youth and it is absolutely gorgeous. I look forward to seeing a game in what is truly one of the more unique environments in college football”
Game 58: Colorado Buffaloes @ Minnesota Golden Gophers
HBS is a nice venue with excellent sight lines to downtown Minneapolis. We did a lap around the concourse checking out the variety of food options and the end zone beer garden that served the ever popular bucket of cheese curds.
Minnesota Press Release
Date: September 6, 2022 | We are excited to see Huntington Bank Stadium as it was high on our list ever since it was finished being built.
