URBAN MEYER IS TAKING THIS VERY SERIOUSLY

All I know is that with the serious flames coming out of #3’s ass I wouldn’t want to fall behind in that race.

Hey, now I get the feeling that #3 is photo-shopped. Oh, and I fear the University of Navy.

I’m in Charleston. I spent last night in a hotel next to Charleston Southern’s campus, which is actually north and inland of the city. Their stadium is smaller than my high school’s stadium. This game shouldn’t count.

Is that Tatoo prior to his career hollering “The plane! The plane!”

I hope he and the team take every game this seriously. I certianly don’t want to hear any Wooo-Pig Sooie fuckfacery in hogtown this year.

my buddy lives in an apartment almost literally next to csu’s campus. i also thought it was a high school when i went by. perhaps urban’s comments were motivated purely by the lulz?

No, that is Terry Bowden after last week’s impressive UNA win.

I said this in a previous thread but I think it bears repeating here. I am very familair with I-AA football as I played at Wofford back in the late 90’s. Charleston Southern and it’s conference (big south) are not only I-AA. They are the mid-majors of I-AA. They are the MAC or Sunbelt of I-AA. The strong I-AA conferences such as the Southern or CAA schedule Big South teams as their tune-up games.

For instance Furman’s cupcake game is Presbyterian out of the Big South. Western Carolina’s is Gardner Webb (although that one might actually be competitive). And Wofford’s is……yes the same Charleston Southern. So Wofford has their tune-up game against the same team that UF has theirs against. Wofford beat them by 20 or 30 last year. I seriously can’t fathom how this happened.

North vs South Dept:

Urban Meyer scheduled Charleston Southern because Charleston Northern was way too hard to face this early in the season. (If I were more with-it, I’d have material here about those two other powder puff powerhouses Charleston Western and Charleston Eastern.)

No offense, but this is the first time I have ever heard of “Charleston Southern”, must be a correspondence-type-school.

I seriously can’t fathom how this happened

Answer: $

Actually that should be more like $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I saw Georgia Tech basketball play against Charleston Southern, and I’m pretty sure most of the CS student body showed up for the game. They took up two whole rows in the Thriller Dome, and that was with a few of them buying concessions.

A new thought arises: the GT Cumberland massacre was done against a college that had formally dropped its football team but had a contract obliging them to play GT anyway. Perhaps Urban has his eyes fixed on breaking that record to open the season.

Urb will try to schedule a home and home with the University of Phoenix next time cause he likes their stadium.

That LSU freek Lou Holtz number is channeling Charles Durning in Best Little Whorehouse in Texas

How about instead of the midget, Meyer just take on Holtz in the ring? About same physical capabilities.

It’s the Baptist college. Think “Birmingham Southern” just with a beach nearby.

I’m actually kind of curious if Charleston Southern is putting the same amount of effort into this game. Would they even face enough run-first spread teams in their division to spend much time preparing?

I can see just about every other team on Florida’s schedule concentrating on them (with a big red circle on the calendar as one of the Maple Street articles said) but do the cupcake schools even care?

Tim,

This is taking one for the school. They will make more money this weekend than they will the whole year. I just hope Urban pulls the first team after they score 100 and doesn’t call too many timeouts.

I would say it varies on much much they care. Richmond could upend Duke. Maybe one other upset first week. But I can’t fathom another App. State/UM shocker.

1. this game happened when UCF backed out of the game so that they could play in their brand new on-campus stadium. Which was a good decision for them. UF was unable to get a Bowl subdivision opponent in time and gave Charleston Southern a call. Now that there is a recession, it will be easier to get the SunBelt and MAC teams to come visit again since they will need the money.

My brother relates an anecdote about the Bear prior to Bama’s 1973 opener against Cal (yes, that Cal fresh off the 60’s, Vietnam, every drug ever known, etc.):

“Our linemen are so slow, I doubt if we get a first down all season…”

Bama 66 Cal 0

The wishbone juggernaut hit another gear as Bama averaged 6.6 yards a play for the season.

So Urban is just inverting the maneuver. And just so you know, Sports South says that Florida will “clash” with Charleston Southern in a promo for the telecast.

Hell this could mathmatically hurt the Gators. With ND, Texas, and tOSU having a shot of going undefeated, SOS could come down to the wire since Charleston Southern, I am sure, will deduct style points from the Gators, just like the Citadel did to Auburn, plus the nation suffering from Tebow Fatigue, I am sure they will go with Texas to make up for last year. All this assuming Florida can beat LSU in Death Valley for the first time in along time.

Actually the truth is that UF was going to play Utah for the opener. Utah, however, wanted a neutral site game, something that Florida balked at. After that didn’t work, Utah asked for an exorbitant amount of money, something like 4x’s what were paying Charleston southern. So yeah, UF laughed at them and scheduled this cupcake of a team. at least that’s what i read on ESPN a few weeks ago lol
