This is in the future at Western Carolina as well. Here is where you have to pay for parking on campus: Mercer Chattanooga Wofford Furman did I miss anyone?

when is Western going to start charging? How can they charge someone if for some reason someone drives onto campus and parks at the bookstore and then walks to the game This is in the future at Western Carolina as well. Here is where you have to pay for parking on campus: Mercer Chattanooga Wofford Furman did I miss anyone?

I have been to schools where there is no free parking on campus at any time (not just for athletic events). Either you have a sticker, or you pay at a meter. It is like that at Florida Atlantic - and it is $20/game for tailgating where they have cones up and cops that direct traffic into the lots they want you in (or you have a parking pass that gets you waved into the lots based on how expensive your season tickets are - still have to buy a parking pass on top of tickets).

Mercer at VMI - the Keydets break that 21 game losing streak Western Carolina at Furman - Cats pick up win #4, easier than expected The Citadel at Towson - not a good out-of-conference showing Wofford at Gardner-Webb - short haired dogs roll Samford at Kennesaw State - the Owls are tough at home, and pick up close win Chattanooga at ETSU - this ones a toss up, I'm picking the Bucs because they are at home

Trying to think about something other than yesterday's "coulda been" game, take a look at the SoCon standings right now:
1- ETSU 3-0 (4-1 overall) The Bucs could EASILY be 1-2 or even 0-3. They trailed VMI in the 4th quarter, were down by 21 to Furman in the 2nd half, and had a total of 265 yards (50 on one long TD) yesterday against UTC. But the scoreboard says they are 3-0.
2- Wofford 2-0 (3-1 overall) Currently, and rightfully so, the Terriers appear to be the team to beat.
3- Chattanooga 2-1 (4-1 overall) The Mocs appear to have a pretty good defense. Still looks like some questions on offense.
4- Mercer 2-1 (3-2 overall) Don't look as good with Riley as they did with Riddle, but appear to be a solid team.
5- WCU 1-1 (3-1 overall) and Furman 1-1 (1-3 overall) Ended up looking like 2 evenly matched teams. Western's offense is better, neither team looks great on defense. Special teams and untimely turnovers ended up being the difference, and if we played 10 times we might split with them (win when we don't have those miscues, lose when we do).
7- Citadel 1-2 (1-3 overall) They didn't look good against a dynamic offense/QB yesterday losing 44-27 to Towson. They have played well against 3 SoCon teams, but lost 2 of the games. One more conference loss and they are out of the playoff picture.
8- Samford 0-2 (1-4 overall) By far the most shocking, the Bulldogs have not played well since putting the scare into the highly over-rated FSU Seminoles. One of the top 2 most talented teams, they have to win out and hope to win the SoCon for a shot at the playoffs, So they are going to play desperate, at least until they get their next loss.
9- VMI 0-4 (0-5) The Keydets are closer to not being in the celler than they have been in a long time. After getting run off the field by Wofford, they had an opportunity to beat ETSU (lead in the 4th quarter). Then they seemed to get in their groove with the Air Raid in the game against us that they could have easily won. And totally snake-bitten, they lost by 10 to Mercer yesterday in a game where they got the ball inside the 5 on 2 occasions and scored no offensive points (did turn one into a safety). Again, we keep score for a reason and they are 0-4 in the SoCon but could easily be 2-2 or even 3-1.
The point is this thing is wide-open right now. WCU might lose all the rest of their games, but we have the players to compete against everybody left on the schedule. A win against Samford is going to be a tall-order given how they throw the ball and how desperate they are going to be. But if we can get it, at 2-1 in the league and 4-1 overall we will have "showdown" games the rest of the way. A 2-loss SoCon team stil is going to have a good chance at the playoffs, and there are about 6 teams who I think can realistically get there.
