Mercer kicked off for the first time since 1942 this weekend and 12,172 people witnessed one a script that couldn't have been written any better. Coming out victorious over instate school Reindhart (also a start up program) 40-37 on a game winning FG with 3 seconds left on the clock.

It's a beautiful thing man. You can just see and feel the difference in the environment here as compared to some other recent startups. They are doing it correctly.

Congrats on the first game since 1942 and the thrilling win! From someone who actually spent time on the campus while doing work in Macon back in 2008.

That makes me really happy to see Bobby doing so well. I hope he has a very successful run at Mercer (albeit, finishing as runner-up to Furman every year!).

Bobby Lamb is a great coach and an even better man. For vermin scum even. He and Mercer will be successful. That guy doesn't KNOW HOW to fail.


GO BEARS!

Found one more great video. This was shown to the crowd before the team ran out. Includes some nice history. The first 5 times the Florida Gators played Mercer, the Bears shut them out!

Great intro video. I'd assume they'll add highlights from the Reinhardt game to the end of that for this week. gonna be sweet!

Was a big deal down here. Loved the touch of running out of the tunnel carrying the Georgia flag (I've always liked when Furman carries the SC flag onto the field as the team runs out, but of course, that's not my flag).

Bobby was like the Steve Spurrier of the SOCON. Everybody loved to hate the guy, but they all had respect for him. Mercer fits the SOCON mold, and Bobby will do well there. Nice looking facilities.

Great video. Kudos to Mercer for a successful first outing (this millennium, anyway). More than 12k fans in a stadium built for 10k, too. Nice.

Not only that, during the UGA/Clemson game as well.

Bobby is a good man and a good coach. I hope to make a game this season!
