Valdosta State in D2 Natty Saturday 4 EST, ESPNU
Pretty fun to watch. Nothing else on, cheer for the state of GA. This would make 4 Titles since 2002 if they win. 7th natty appearance. They’re doing something right.
The team they played last Saturday had a TB with 2,400 yds rushing this season. Pretty crazy.

I hope Kirby finds time to check in, it's good for a man to remember where he comes from.
I know I will be checking in on the game. I was there when it was VSC and VSU before going to Athens to finish out my distinguished academic career.
Go Blazers!!
Georgia Southern plays Eastern Michigan at 5:30 PM today.
I hope Mike Leach checks in on the game too. He worked under Hal Mumme before getting a head coaching gig. That included a stint as OC for VSC/VSU from 1992 - 1996.
Hard to believe Leach was there. But, the offense wasn't afraid to air raid with Hatcher at QB. Also had a former Philly Eagle as OL coach. Guy Morris. Mumme had a good staff. In fact, Mumme probably has one of the better coaching trees in recent memory.
Valdosta State Blazers leading the Ferris State Bulldogs 28-24 at halftime:

How can Ferris St be hanging around in this game? Their kids have played too many games this year without getting paid. They're still students!! This is an outrage!!
Blazers leading 42-38 after three quarters
Final score: Valdosta State 49, Ferris State 47
Blazers won their fourth Division II national championship since 1981!
Btw, I lived in Valdosta for 7 years and my sister/brother/best friend graduated from VSC (now VSU), so I'm happy for all of them.
Congrats to Valdosta State and Georgia Southern today
Georgia Southern went from 2-10 to 10-3. That’s huge for the program after Tyson Summers almost destroyed it.
GATA
Not sure but I think it was the great Erk Russell who coined that phrase. Around the guys, it was “Get After Their Ass”. When in public (especially if women or children were present) it was “Get After Them Aggressively”. Never be another Erk Russell! A true legend.
Go Blazers....
Yes sir, the one and only!
Correct me if Im wrong but didnt Kirby get his coaching start at Valdosta St under Chris Hatcher.
