Don’t forget that Cookeville is in the central time zone. For those making the trip, I-40 is a challenge. Allow at least an hour more than what your navigation says it will take. There is a lot of construction going through Asheville. Once you get through the N.C./Tenn mountain curves, you have the heavy traffic through Knoxville. The traffic will be even worse than normal since the Volunteers play a noon game at home on Saturday. There is also several road construction sites between Knoxville and Cookeville that will back up traffic for a few miles. Hopefully, that roadwork will not be taking place on the weekends. Cookeville is a nice small city, about the size of Anderson. Like FuBeAR said, the community supports TT in a big way. Be safe on the trip up. Go Paladins!
Tennessee Tech - Sept. 11
Roundball speaks wisely. Drove to Indiana a few weeks ago and it was hard to see how America is underinvesting in infrastructure on account of it seemed like there was roadwork every 50 miles or so. Coming home I went through Chat instead of Asheville and that was nice. From Greenville it’s supposedly an hour longer that way but it may be more predictable.

How was I-75 between Atlanta and Knoxville?Furmanoid wrote: ↑Mon Sep 06, 2021 9:26 amRoundball speaks wisely.

I'd have to assume we would find our way into the top 25 poll this week. Most polling outlets had NC A&T as a top 25 team.
The DINS are 24th in the new Athlon powerpoll:

He looked a lot better Saturday. The play calling was much better with quick passes and utilizing the middle of the field instead of throwng evrything to the sidelines. OL and receivers looked better. Hope this continues.Davemeister wrote: ↑Mon Sep 06, 2021 9:49 am

Nice. Thought ETSU would have jumped well into the top 25 but they are only one spot above the ‘dins.AstroDin wrote: ↑Mon Sep 06, 2021 11:02 amThe DINS are 24th in the new Athlon powerpoll:

Not sure how much respect ETSU is going to get from what appears to be a very bad FBS school. Not sure Vandy will win a game this season.apaladin wrote: ↑Mon Sep 06, 2021 11:49 amNice.

Stats Poll: ETSU 15 Furman 33rd
FCS Coaches: ETSU dropped one spot to 24
Furman did not get a single vote.

I really thought we would be about 25th if we beat NCA&T. kind a thought we would replace them in polls. Damn , as always, it’s hard to get in the Poll of you start out not in the poll…. And it’s hard to fall out of the Poll if you start out ranked. This is where the spring fade hurts us …. We aren’t on anyone’s radar
If they play the gamecocks this season, that might be a win as well!apaladin wrote: ↑Mon Sep 06, 2021 2:37 pmYes they will as they play UConn.AstroDin wrote: ↑Mon Sep 06, 2021 12:32 pmNot sure how much respect ETSU is going to get from what appears to be a very bad FBS school.

They do, in Columbia, SC, 10/16/21; and there seems very small chance for Vandy to win that game. And since UConn football has been brought up -gman84 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 06, 2021 6:20 pmIf they play the gamecocks this season, that might be a win as well!apaladin wrote: ↑Mon Sep 06, 2021 2:37 pmYes they will as they play UConn.AstroDin wrote: ↑Mon Sep 06, 2021 12:32 pmNot sure how much respect ETSU is going to get from what appears to be a very bad FBS school.

WAY TO GO HOLY CROSS CRUSADERS!!!!
Holy Cross is a school very similar to Furman, in size, in academic focus, and in level of athletics - although Holy Cross has 4 additional men’s and 4 additional women’s sports that Furman does not have, for a total of 24 sports at Holy Cross.
