Indeed, welcome to our two distinguished enemies this week. If I had one question for them it would be this....both of our offenses are in the top 20 nationally in FCS, but the EKU defense is ranked tied at 105 nationally? Are you that poor defensively, or are their other issues like overall scheme, injuries, etc. that cause the low ranking. I think your D is going to get to see Mr. Gaither running at you, a LOT, especially if the weather is as bad as forecast. And yes, I'll root for EKU, or anyone else for that matter, against that woke toilet known as William and Mary next weekend. Well now I have to root for GW this week so we can get you to the W&M QB Club tailgate lot next week and show you just how "woke" we are! Will ignore the insult until we have a chance to educate you. There will be a test, but as a GW grad you don't have to worry... there won't be any essay questions.

And yes, I'll root for EKU, or anyone else for that matter, against that woke toilet known as William and Mary next weekend. Our defense has been racked with injuries. Especially at defensive back. At one time all of our #1 and #2 safeties and corners were out. some of them back and the younger guys are maturing. Every position has been hit at one time or another this year. No excuses for last week. we just could not handle the 255 pound RB at the back or the wishbone and the speed of the other backs give us fits,. Schemes were ok but apparently just could not replicate the team speed in our practice. Still at times we play very good on that side of the ball in spurts and when we have to. This team will be highly motivated this week. The practice I saw showed a totally different mind set from an already focused team. I think we will play well. With all that being said, I know your team will come in ready to play too. I anticipate a very competitive, physical game that may be decided by turnovers, special team play and penalties. Kind of like the saying goes. The one that blinks first loses. On a different note, Does your team travel well? Will you bring many fans with you? This mornings weather called for a nasty day here Saturday but it is changing daily, Who knows? No doubt the Colonel Nation will be rooting for the winner of this game throughout the playoffs. With it being a holiday who knows, but being our first time in the FCS playoffs, I expect us to bring some people for sure.

Woke toilet bowl? William & Mary? It's left of center, sure--but hardly the most progressive school out there.

Tribe4sf: Glad you'll root for us, whatever the reason. Good as W&M is this year, I suspect you underestimate GW.

We stopped underestimating other teams after a very frustrating loss to Elon where we gave up 3 fourth quarter TDs to lose by 4. We had them 28-10 at half and 31-16 after the 3rd. GW clearly earned their spot. I give you a 50/50 shot at EKU.

GW clearly earned their spot. I give you a 50/50 shot at EKU. We understand well about frustrating losses to Elon (and Coastal and Liberty). You're probably right about the odds of our winning on Saturday. I might feel more bullish if it were a neutral field, but I don't expect it to be easy to beat the Colonels at home. Like that we're set up to play two teams with a deep history in the playoffs (and, in W&M's case, a long, long history overall).

Watching from home. Its clear we are just more physical on Offense than WKU defense, and we are just imposing our will. WKU is playing too timid and looks to be throwing in the towel with their tackling. I would not be surprised if we set some type of rushing record today. Its 3rd Q and we are about to run away with this one.

What a 3rd quarter! Offense was elite all game long. Defense got stops in the third quarter and let the offense out the game out of reach. Ran for over 400 yards tonight. Dominant.
Only pet peeve was the use of the old logo by ESPN throughout the night.

Thanks for the good-luck wishes. We'll need to clean things up a little defensively (though part of the problem was facing an excellent passing attack).
