I guess The Kennesaw Invitational doesn't have the same ring to it...

Tennessee barbecue? What is that?

I know Memphis BBQ and love it. I bet E. TN BBQ is just like the tomato-y crap that goes from W. NC down thru upstate of SC and on South. Pretty much a meh item.

How ‘bout some Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Select? Now that’s an item that compares favorable to those delicious Georgia Peaches!

ETSU 21-10 at half and left points on the board with poor o’clock management at the end of the half.

[BlackNGoldR3v0lut10n]

ETSU ties it up with a Riddell pass to Will Huzzle.

ETSU 28, Mercer 28 14:20 4th

[BlackNGoldR3v0lut10n]

And Mercer just scores on a 48 yd TD strike. ETSU's second half defense leaves a lot to be desired.

Mercer 35, ETSU 28 12:59 4th

[BlackNGoldR3v0lut10n]

Mercer gets the ball back on a muffed KO return only to have Tony Dinozzo pick Fred Payton off. A Keltner FG is the end result :(

Mercer 35, ETSU 31 9:22 4th

[BlackNGoldR3v0lut10n]

Mercer drives deep into ETSU territory before Alijah (Charlie) Huzzie picks Payton off. ETSU starts drive at Mercer 35.

[BlackNGoldR3v0lut10n]

Riddell throws a 13 yd TD strike to Malik Murray.

ETSU 38, Mercer 35 1:47 4th

[ETSUfan1]

Bucs win!! 38-35.

[BlackNGoldR3v0lut10n]

The kick by Devin Folser is on its way and...

NO! SIR! REE! NO! SIR! REE!

This year's Southern Conference champions are clad in Blue and Gold.

ETSU 38, Mercer 35 Final

Congrats to ETSU!! Geographically speaking I’m sure we’ll have an opportunity to see each other soon. Let the playoffs begin!

[FUBeAR]

Congrats to the Bucs. Well deserved.

FUBeAR watched 2 Top-8-Seed-Quality Teams SLUG IT OUT for 3.5 hours today.

It would be a travesty if ETSU does not get a seed.

It would also be a travesty if a Team that missed beating a Top Seed Team, because a WR slipped coming out of his break costing them the AQ bid, does not receive an At-Large Bid tomorrow.
