ESPN owns the rights to broadcast Sun Belt games, and they will promote their product. If App was the only team in the league that's done anything so far it would be different.

I think the timing is really huge for the Sun Belt. It was such a good week for the Sun Belt and the upsets were so big, it would be irresponsible for them NOT to talk about it.
The fact that they are at a Sun Belt school just solidifies the fact the discussion will be had about the conference.
What I do wonder about is how much Troy will be mentioned. Should be a really good game.

Yeah, I expect one of those Game day stories starting with the dramatic music and talking about the beginnings of the "Lowly Sun Belt" when our conference champion went to a bowl game with a 5-7 record, and then had all the departures. Then the music will get all cheery and show the transformation and highlights of the Super "Fun Belt."

And I wish I were joking.

It’s absolutely amazing being in a league that has this much depth.
Every week means something and is a battle.

I saw they “predicted” Marshall to the Cotton Bowl.
Well there’s a long ass road to get there.

*At Bowling Orange (always a tough test, and the team has to mentally focus after last week)
*At Troy. (Scares me to death)
*Conf champ Louisiana comes to town for ESPN only game on tv
*At JMU, who just blew Norfolk St out of the water worse than we did, after destroying MTSU the week before, who just turned around and blew out Colo St.
*Then freaking Coastal comes to town with Grayson McCall and that passing game. Jeezzsh.
*How about a nice little trip up to Old Dominion, where we’ll have a battle on our hands.

Can we make it through all that unscathed? That’s a tough task.
But can we? Do we stay focused enough to do it?
If we do, we’ll be ranked. And guess who’s next?

*App coming to town. If they win out until then, this will be a ranked on ranked rivalry game for the ages. If that’s the set up, the winner’s in the drivers seat for the NY6. Does the SBC get 2 ESPN College GameDay’s in a season?

*But wait, there’s more. What’s that you say? The season’s not over?
We have to go to Ga Southern?? Sh*t.

*whew me made it past that. How did we escape by the skin of our teeth.
Crap there’s another game to get through. Georgia State. They’ll give us all we want at home.

Still here. Did we make it?
Not yet. Still have to play the SBC Champ game and win to get that Cotton Bowl berth.

I’d venture to say there’s several P5 teams that would have trouble going through that schedule unscathed.

Do we do it? Damn, that would be awesome. We have a LONG, LONG, road ahead.
Stay focused.

So happy to be in the SBC!

Right. I've got a feeling we're going to be a good bit better than all the preseason prognistications but it's just so overwhelming looking at the conference schedule and Georgia Southern and Marshall easily have the toughest cross-division opponents of the east teams.

I know this is Apps first College Gameday visit, but does Anyone know when they visited any North Carolina school? I can't come up with anything.

Eh, that's not the full gameday experience so I would still put an asterisk on that one.

I don't care how old I am, if ODU ever host GameDay I will be on Kauffman mall.

There were all ages at both of ours, don't miss out because you think you're too old!
