SHSU Vs Richmond Game Thread

[cx500d]

Since you mentioned Dallas... How about we move the game to Frisco? Shouldn't that area be less affected by the weather?

I'm all for that. Weather will be no factor here.

Yeah, I wouldn't either. Oh no wait am minute, I do count two other ones I guess.:D

Not a stadium.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

That is when Sam was finally relevant. There was FCS before Fritz boys. There was also 17 people at Bowers for games, at least we are up to 50 people now!!!

Hell, I been following SHSU longer than these boys! I remember McCown fairly well. xlolx

[ursus arctos horribilis]

I do not trust Fargodomers on this matter.

[Nickels]

That is when Sam was finally relevant.
:D Oh was it? That's quite a coincidence.

[BNATION]

In all honesty FCS was pretty irrelavant on a national scale prior to 2007-9. The caliber and exposure that FCS schools get now is unparalleled and good FCS teams can step right into the weaker FBS conferences and compete right away. So there was a lot of truth to what has been said. as much as i hate to say it NDSU has done alot for FCS football.

Supposedly SHSU & UR administrators are talking today regarding Sunday's game & the dire forecast. In more important news, if you lost the Powerball drawing make your money back this weekend & bet the under in this game!!!

[URMite]

I don't count any championships prior to 2011, PreNDSU. That was a different day and age. But that's just me.
That is funny, I only count championships from 2003-2009. That is why I think the CAA is so good.

Could be another losing bet, the game will probably be played Thur or next Sat.

[Matt]

I would argue that App State beating Michigan/3-peating with Armanti Edwards was the start of the FCS getting proper attention. But i guess its all just opinion

[BNATION]

Sure, but top to bottom this class of football is not only better, but leagues better than 10 years ago.

[milleniumkat]

Here's my thought on the TV situation:

The game was originally scheduled for 8/31 with no special TV arrangement. ESPN swooped in and caused all this. literally, this is the fault of both schools bowing to ESpN $$$ and i don't blame them. But..

Since neither team originally signed on for this game. thinking TV cash was coming, i say both sides say eff this and jus move it.

[milleniumkat]

Hell, I been following SHSU longer than these boys! I remember McCown fairly well. xlolx

Do you remember Chad Schramek? I thought not. I gottcha!

[milleniumkat]

I can't argue with that logic!

[URMite]

How was the weather in Williamsburg, 10/8/2005?

That seemed to be one of the Monsoon games. Am I right, UNH?

[bluehenbillk]

Could be another losing bet, the game will probably be played Thur or next Sat.

Sam plays the following Thursday night - highly unlikely they'd play next Saturday & miss the national TV audience.

[Lorne_Malvo]

SHSU will cancel the game. They don't want the L anyway. Its the easy way out for them.

[TheEagleSHSU]

I believe those pics are just your septic tanks backing up.

SHSU and the City of Huntsville made drastic changes to the drainage around that area and specifically that area last year. It does not flood like that any longer.

[milleniumkat]

SHSU will cancel the game. They don't want the L anyway. Its the easy way out for them.

For sure.

[milleniumkat]

i would be absolutely shocked an appalled if the game is cancelled completely. That seems to be beyond comprehension imho. there are plenty of options to move it and plenty of time prior to game two for both.

That's it. We sure don't need the SOS help of Richmond after last year.

With expected flooding and storm damage, IMHO, they will cancel the game.

[milleniumkat]

i'm hearing from some sources that officials are expecting damage in the south texas and south west areas of houston to be "devastating". i sure hope that is wrong.

Selfishly I hope this game goes off as planned.

[milleniumkat]

seems like it would be. Problem now is that it appears that the system will be tracking back across the coast and hanging around until tuesday.

It's a double edged sword. On the one hand it would mean lessened impact on Huntsville but Houston are far worse. COULD.

[milleniumkat]

Houston would get constant storm rains for 4-5 days. That's not good

[alvin.kmiec]

By this from the national weather service the storm will be east of Galveston. So most of the bad weather will be east of Huntsville by game time. This might be what the schools are looking at.

Not sure what you're looking at. That graph shows what time tropical force winds start, at earliest. The rains will certainly be heavy on Sunday evening in Huntsville. Sunday looks to be the worst.

[melloware13]

NWS forecast for Huntsville is "Tropical Storm Conditions Possible" between Saturday and Monday Night.

[BNATION]

Lets ss hope they get it in.

Any consideration of playing this game at Sammy on Sunday is pretty dopey at this point.

Richmond doesn't need this game. We have meat on the bone with the rest of the schedule. Sam doesn't. They need this more than we do. Richmind shouldn't go all planes trains and automobiles and get ourselves behind the 8 ball with a trip to Colgate the following week.

[Winston]

This game will be canceled

[BigHouseClosedEnd]

This game will be canceled

I tend to agree.

[Winston]

Nothing else makes sense at this point.

[Professor Chaos]

I tend to agree.
Why? I don't understand Richmond's lack of motivation to reschedule. Both schools have the next weeked off. Sure, Sam needs this game more but the game helps Richmond down the road as well. Playing a 10 game schedule is not going to help you especially if you finish 6-4 or 7-3. Plus what are the implications on the return game if this one is cancelled?

There is no return game. Playing a 10 game schedule is less risky than travelling into a category 3 hurricane and then getting ourselves all effed up on another trip to a sturdy Colgate team on the 9th.

[Winston]

What if the game was moved to Richmond? SHSU would have to travel back on Monday. If the game was played at SHSU the same is true for richmond.

By not doing the sensible thing and moving the game up here, they already did.

Really? I thought it was a H&H. Why did Richmond agree to this in the first place then? I would think they have the clout as a program to demand a H&H or say no bueno.

That said if it was agreed to they should hold to their end of the bargain. If there's any travel danger whatsoever I'm sure they won't play the game as previously scheduled. I just don't see why Richmond would be so against moving it back a weekend (or until next Thursday). And quit trying to use Colgate as an excuse, that holds no water if Richmond is the top 10 team most rankings have them pegged as right now.

Look at all the headlines on drudge right now. Rescheduling to football game for Thursday would be dopey at this point. What do we do, wait around for flood reports on Monday or Tuesday to determine if we fly out for a Thursday game? This is some dopey crap. It's august.

And ask Keeler why no H&H. We needed a game when BC bought us out and didn't want to play a pushover.

So move it back to Saturday 9/2 then. If your team really needs two weeks to prep for a trip to Colgate then they're not going to have to worry about playing more than 10 games this year anyway. It sounds to me like you're just looking for every excuse possible to get Richmond out of this game.

If Richmond had a game scheduled next weekend and SHSU was trying to get them to move another game around to accomodate this reschedule I could see your beef. That's not the case.

Maybe we can switch with you and play powerhouse Prarie View while taking an hour bus ride to get there.After the 6 hour round trip flight between RIC and IAH along with 60 mile one way bus ride to Huntsville then take the Thursday 3 hour flight from Richmond to Syracuse and an hour bus ride to get to Hamilton to play Colgate.Bring on Powerhouse Prairie View.We'll keep it under 50 points.

In between all this our kids actually go to classes where they take actual courses
in actual majors with real professors.

Dont think anyone is argueing that. Funny how you are pegging Colgate as a tough game. If that's the case you guys are in for a treat whenever this game gets played.

This latest path image shows the concern for Huntsville. Many see the initial landing cone (posted at bottom) and think Huntsville wont be affected too much. Not only will Huntsville see a massive amount of moisture on the east side of the storm. This damn thing could sit partly in the ocean and slowly refuel as it heads east. This could be historic for the state. I've seen some models that don't have it moving out of the area until Thursday.

Just dont see how this game will be played, as scheduled, unless it arrives later than predicted and they can squeeze the game in earlier on Sunday...if it's not too extreme at that point. Setting up a dangerous situation getting everyone out of there though.

It's good to know that our nationwide FCS brothers have our backs and have their priorities straight. It's good to know that people have our backs and are concerned for our well being. Not one statement of concern for well being.

I hope your team busses crash, i hope your kids get the plague. I hope you lose your jobs. I hope your wives find comfort in the arms of the lawn care crew. I hope those headaches actually turn out to be aggressive tumors.

Good day.

[BNATION]

Agreed, in the playoff the last six years I've seen first hand how classless, especially the northern teams fans are. 0 respect. As for fans in Virginia, you may be the South but your people act like Yankees. Don't bring your wives to the game, they will get impregnated just by being in close proximity to Real men and will refuse to leave with you.

The bottom line, this is just a football game. I hope everyone that could be affected this weekend take precautions to remain safe. Be well.

IMHO the schools should cancel the game. The risks are too great for all. Our prayers are with you in Texas. Be safe.

[Winston]

In fact, evacuate now. That is the smart thing to do.

[Texas]

Looks like people are forgetting this game is in Huntsville not Houston. Looks like we're rain and that's it. Fly in to Dallas and play the game, unless y'all are scared to get a little wet.

[RootinFerDukes]

As much as I may rib SHSU, I do hope all Texans are safe and steer clear of Hurricane Harvey. Postpone the game to later in the week if it's necessary.

[RootinFerDukes]

IMHO the schools should cancel the game. The risks are too great for all. Our prayers are with you in Texas. Be safe.

Why is a cancellation necessary? Why not a postponement to later? Both teams don't have another game for at least 10 days following.

Postponement isn't even necessary unless Huntsville and the campus is experiencing significant flooding. If it's just heavy rain but it's flowing okay? Play on time.

[Hanca]

Would love to see game played but it seems will be difficult to get staff for stadium and fans to game with possibility of flooding. Leaving could be more of a challenge. Also, Texans deserve to have first responders available for those who get hit by hurricane, wind and water available for emergency situations, not being stationed at stadium, parking lots and traffic control. My hopes that Texans are spared the horrible devastation predicted. Spiders am sure would love to return and host later. Want to see my Spiders play but citizens of Texas deserve full attention of public emergency services.

[BEAR]

I'll be watching this one on ESPNU for sure!

Some of the areas around Huntsville may experience as much as 40 inches of rain. The last time Virginia experienced that level of rain was Hurricane Camille. Albemarle, Nelson and Fluvanna Counties (around Charlottesville) experienced 24 inches of rain in a 36 hour period. Whole mountains were covered with water, entire families were lost. Who could think water could cover a mountain? Hurricane Harvey could be a CAT-4, before it hits land.

Any chance it could be moved to richmond? I know logistically that may not be realistic at such a last minute.

[mango433]

Stay safe everyone down there in Texas. It's just a game, other things are much more important. Hopefully the worst predictions are wrong.

[RootinFerDukes]

Sorry, I hadn't realized Harvey had gotten as severe as it has. It's projected to be a Category 3 and the worst storm to hit the US since Katrina in 2005.

I really hope that the game's postponed at this point. 6-12 foot storm surges and 3 FEET of rain is going to cause a lot of flooding down there, especially low lying areas. (Galveston county may be completely underwater if Harvey hits where he's projected to). Not to mention Harvey is supposed to meander along the Gulf Coast of Texas too for a bit.

[Professor Chaos]

It's good to know that our nationwide FCS brothers have our backs and have their priorities straight. It's good to know that people have our backs and are concerned for our well being. Not one statement of concern for well being.

To all these smart mouthed internet tough guy chest pounders, i hope your families and communities suffer widespread hardship in the near future. Karma is a bitch. This shows that people on this site really don't give a **** about the people of texas and actually do consider us lesser lifeforms.

I hope your team busses crash, i hope your kids get the plague. I hope you lose your jobs. I hope your wives find comfort in the arms of the lawn care crew. I hope those headaches actually turn out to be aggressive tumors.

Good day.
Who exactly is this whole thing directed at? I see one dumbass-ish post made by an NDSU fan with 26 posts and all of a sudden everyone wants lowly Texas to be washed away into Caribbean?

Take a step back and take care of your and your loved ones safety. Any decent person would say the same thing and, contrary to popular belief, the vast majority of folks who post on here are decent people.

As for the game given how severe the threat appears to be I'm not sure why it hasn't been postponed already. Even if Huntsville isn't going to get the worst of it I'm sure there's plenty of folks in the SHSU community who have friends and family that are going to get it worse. A football game is pretty trivial in the grand scheme of this mess.

Hearing unconfirmed word on our board that the game is being rescheduled, but details still being worked out.

Game is off. Update Monday.

Man. That's unfortunate although I completely agree and understand why.

Stay safe this weekend, Texas folk.

OK, best Week Zero game EXCEPT if you live in Northeast Alabama or Southeast Tennessee. Better?

If they don't move this to next weekend they won't play it which would ultimately really hurt SHSU.

When you only have 2 OOC games and you don't play one of those and the other one is PVAMU then it does hurt you. Sorry you don't like the truth down there in Huntsville.

Yes the loss of a quality OCC game for Richmond hurts too, but when that is your only legitimate OOC game it hurts SHSU a little more.

Hey man, at any given time, especially the last couple days, its been any where between 4-6 different SHSU supporters post on AGS at any given time. Comeon, don't lump us all together because of the tongue in cheek comments of a few. That's like me saying that all JMU fans are jerks because of some off-the-cuff comments made towards Sammy by DirtyDuke. Come to Sam for a game or two. We are a young fan base, but generally some pretty cool people to hang with.

That's fair. To be clear, i was the one getting ripped on here last night for saying this game will never happen, which i still feel pretty confident will be the reality, unless Keeler is open to changing the venue to somewhere far from Hunstville - see Richmond. Some of the people ripping me probably weren't even Sammy fans.

[milleniumkat]

i've stated all along my concern was for those traveling. I've lived through a ton of these. Those traveling from Richmond who may be unfamiliar with the area was where my mind was. I've been conversing all week with some said travelers via text and DM and have tried to give the safest options and routes that i could think of to provide and help my brothers from VA. Because at least i'm a polite and considerate mouth breather.

Any breathing being with testicles is going to rip you. Get use to it.

[milleniumkat]

i just hope they get a full two weeks to prepare for Colgate. I heard they may try the forward pass this year. Why would the venue need to be changed? Just need the storm to pass and the venue will be fine.

Sounds like a couple of UR guys really want a home game prior to that clash with Colgate.

Yeah man. If it's as bad as advertised that's a real possibility. But Texans live for football season, and when you are 30 minutes from TAMU, 1 hours of University of Houston and 2 hours from Texas, and even with the recent on the field success still get little to no attention from local and state media, you start to build up a little frustration, especially when chance to showcase it nationally gets threatened. Its kind of a lame situation all around. You hate that people's lives and livelihood is gonna be threatened because of the storm, but also the fact that you lose a nationally televised game, potentially the game all together.

[Lorne_Malvo]

Who are you, again? Who is asking?

How about we end this fun back and forth by saying Richmond is just being overly cautious. I am sure we can all agree that Colgate is a nice sleeper, and that Sam Supporters are slightly annoyed that it appears that a few Richmond fans are insensitive to our current weather situation and seem unwilling to be open to the idea of a reschedule. Maybe we should get a poll going on the date of a reschedule.

[BNATION]

I don't need sympathy from Virginians. We take care of our own and their moochers.

I cant agree Colgate is a sleeper. They played a nobody 5-5 schedule last year and lost to a Ivy League school who was 4-6. They lost starters on both sides so I'm not sure how they got better or could be a sleeper.

Hey "A measure of a life is its service" but we can share some mutual appreciation for Virginia. Sam Houston was born in Virginia! lol. Also idk man, Colgate did play them kind of tough last year. I believe they only lost 31-38. Confidence can do a strange thing to a team. That's one of those intangibles that's hard to measure. I'm not sure if I was Richmond's Coach that I would over look that game. I'm sure Colgate has it circled on their schedule.

Definitely not sucking up, just trying to keep the peace. Don't want to ruin good potential football talk due to petty fighting which from what I see generally comes down to semantics and misunderstandings. As FCS fans we generally don't get much good football talks and hot takes from anywhere. Especially in Texas. Don't want to ruin the one or two good places where we do. Besides from my experience most people have already made up there minds about most things. Being cordial isn't gonna change that.

Get a grip....South Texas doesn't have the hills and mountains like in this picture to funnel water into walls of water.


Some of the areas around Huntsville may experience as much as 40 inches of rain. The last time Virginia experienced that level of rain was Hurricane Camille. Albemarle, Nelson and Fluvanna Counties (around Charlottesville) experienced 24 inches of rain in a 36 hour period. Whole mountains were covered with water, entire families were lost. Who could think water could cover a mountain? Hurricane Harvey could be a CAT-4, before it hits land.

[spdram]

just finished reading today's posts -- this went south quickly. Best wishes and safety to our friends in Texas and surrounding. This is a truly scary storm, hope all are safe. I don't understand the comments and broad brush strokes. Richmond hasn't called the game off, but I don't think the game will be played -- to many travel risks from all I am hearing. Safety first. I see going back to a Thursday game being the only real chance left.

If it doesn't happen I hope we get a chance in future seasons.

For those Kat fans badmouth Richmond for not coming down in this storm -- who else agreed to come down, with no return game? You know if this strom had not come up we would be playing Sunday night. Take a deep breath.

But most important, be safe and help those less able to take care of themselves.

Current NHC prediction shows this thing still sitting just west of Houston next Wednesday afternoon. I don’t see a Thursday night game in Huntsville happening.

[caribbeanhen]

if this game hasn't already been cancelled then what are they waiting for...... forget about it

[BNATION]

Not looking good. I think they will wait and see what it does this weekend.

We are hearing allegedly Friday or saturday game. An announcement allegedly will be made Monday. Houston will be the issue. Travel arrangements can be made to fly into dallas and bus down. Won't be an issue in Huntsville wednesday and later other than rain. And we already established that rain should not stop the game. But yesterday's and today's evacuation status would have created a bad situation for lots of folks traveling to huntsville. No reason the game can't be played. Move it to Richmond if that's needed. Or play it at Jerry World, Lord knows that Cowboys don't need it for anything important.

The only winner in all this is Colgate. Stay safe

if they charter a plane they could fly into College Station and bus over about 45 mins. I think thats what many teams have done during the playoffs. Thats what SHSU does many times.

That's true. I forgot about College Station...but that's easy to do. Am I right?? lololol

[SFspidur]

Spiders were always planning to fly into College Station.

[Serpentor]

Spiders were always planning to fly into College Station.

Ugh, why would anyone willingly go there?

[SFspidur]

It’s closer and you avoid the mess of IAH? It’s a place to land and hop on buses...it’s not like they’re vacationing there.

[milleniumkat]

Ugh, why would anyone willingly go there?

This!

[cx500d]

Thats the only place in Texas you can get issued jack boots for white supremicist marches.

There goes SHSU's SOS...... Seriously, I saw this but has it been confirmed?

[cx500d]

No clue....It may just mean they are cancelling televising the game.

[milleniumkat]

It's accurate, this game HAS been cancelled. Doesn't mean that it won't be rescheduled.

[POD Knows]

There goes SHSU's SOS...... Seriously, I saw this but has it been confirmed?I am going to drop SHSU out of my top 25 for cancelling this

[Lorne_Malvo]

How is Huntsville? Just curious.

[POD Knows]

It's accurate, this game HAS been cancelled. Doesn't mean that it won't be rescheduled.You guys have open dates available for both teams?

[Nickels]

How is Huntsville? Just curious.
I'm sure completely fine at this point. Hasn't really reached us yet.

[Bisonoline]

I'm sure completely fine at this point. Hasn't really reached us yet.

I know some people who live there. They have boats so they are fine.xlolx

I'm going to give you credit for a decent troll attempt. Because there's no way that you are either that ignorant or stupid. I just can't believe you would be able to navigate a fan forum if you thought that way for real.

Remember, the Bearkats are already here lololol they ain't the ones that have to decide whether to fly or not. I mean they couldn't force Richmond to NOT board their planes muuuahahaha.

[milleniumkat]

Huntsville got hit with some rough bands two hours ago and a Sharknado touched down north of Willis. Not sure where it ended up or any damage.

Got one on the line! xlolx

I just can't believe you would be able to navigate a fan forum if you thought that way for real.Don't short change me, it was an awesome troll attempt. I will drop you out of the top 25 when you lose to them, if you play them.

[milleniumkat]

Got one on the line! xlolx

nah. I know better. but it was a good attempt so i had to acknowledge.

[milleniumkat]

that's fair. But see my edit after you quoted. Richmond is the one that had to make decisions on flights...our team is here...where are they?? lol

[milleniumkat]

i mean if we're being honest, this game was just a nice exhibition game anyway. Everyone knows 2017 is the return of the Bison and then a bunch of fodder beneath.

[POD Knows]

that's fair. But see my edit after you quoted. Richmond is the one that had to make decisions on flights...our team is here...where are they?? lolI will drop those ****ers out of my top 25 for not showing up. Pansies :D

[pokefan02]

They are now saying Harvey will be a tropical depression and pass through Houston sometime around Wednesday. This thing will screw up everything next week.

What he means, is does it suck worse than normal? Have all the prisoners made their escape?

True, I believe they were chicken****, as their posters seemed to be. They got an excuse and ran with it.

hahahahhah! Nah not unless you include me in that number.

Probably. You'll know for sure when you see an influx of transfers at McNeese and SELA.

Two degrees... Love my Kats and hate pussys [sic] from Virginia. If your [sic] wondering, your [sic] the pussy from Virginia.
Apparently, neither was in English.

You think that's bad, you should go read their free speech wall.

Just don't bring your lady down here when we do play. Hate to see you cuckholded.
