* Jacksonville State at North Alabama, 2 p.m. (ESPN3)
UNA had a solid showing vs. undefeated Liberty a few weeks ago. Liberty is favored over P5 ACC Syracuse this weekend. Lions were only down 7-0 to the Flames @ Half. We’ll know more about Mercer when we see how JaxSt does in Florence, AL. Interestingly, JaxSt was favored over Mercer by 6.5 @ Home & is favored over UNA by 7.5 on the road...so if we extract the ‘usual’ 3 point Home Field ‘give’...and extrapolating, Mercer would have been a 7 point favorite on a neutral field over UNA. The Samford & JaxSt peeps FUBeAR knows think UNA will unseat Kennesaw as Kings of the Big South & is playoff-ready as soon as they are eligible. If that’s true, they should be able to whip JaxSt this week. Interesting game. FUBeAR plans to watch,
* Eastern Kentucky at Troy, 3:30 p.m. (ESPN3)
Not sure if Colonels have a realistic FBS scalp shot here or not. They’ve been better in their last 2 outings & Troy has won big 2x & lost big 1x...so we’ll see. FUBeAR might try to catch parts of this one.
* Angelo State at Stephen F. Austin, 5 p.m.
2nd of 2 BSC-to-back D2 games for SFA. Probably won’t watch any of this one...doesn’t seem to be on air anyway.
* Central Arkansas at Missouri State, 8 p.m. (ESPN3)
Interesting rematch. 3 weeks ago @ UCA, the Purple Bears came back from being 13 down in the 2nd half to squeak out a 27-20 win over the Maroon (I think) Bears. UCA scored 3 TD’s in just over a 2 minute span (TD Pass, Fumble Return TD, Punt Return TD) to roar back & held on for the win. Might feel bad for MoSt., but Bobby Petrino is their HC, so...nah. Since then UCA lost a heartbreaker @ NDSU & been pretty much blown out by in-state G5 ArkSt. Meanwhile, MoSt has just been stewing (no games ) on their snatching of a defeat from the jaws of victory. I’m thinking this one might get a little nasty and will tune in to check it out.

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers,
For he today who sheds his blood with me shall be my brother
