Week 1 - Sac State at South Dakota State

Game Day is finally here. Nothing but questions going into this game. Will the Hornets gel and live up to the hype? Who will emerge as leaders on the field for the Hornets? Will SDSU's offensive line be enough for a young QB to continue their prominence? Will a young and inexperienced SDSU defense be disciplined to defend the intricacies of the GoGo offense?

Stingers Up!
 
Mattos was still the head coach 33 years ago. I’m sorry we are all getting old and it didn’t seem like saying 30 was that far off.

I said it was a Mattos era helmet and was off by a couple years. And you decided to attack me. We will let the board decide who the prick is.
I'm sorry I hurt your little feelings. Now go take a Midol and change your tampon and try to enjoy the game. The board already knows that you are an oversensitive prick with an overinflated opinion of himself.
 
I so freaking pumped - hosting watch party, just don’t want to piss down our collective legs today. Show we belong! I worry about the relentless OL and DL of SDSU, but if we can keep their DL off balance with our athletes, and rattle a pocket passer QB with some pressure off the edge, who knows what can happen!

You were wrong and aren’t man enough to admit it. That’s fine. You can be a little coward.

You know who won’t be a coward today. Our D Line. They are for real.

Brookings is crazy on a Saturday with a late kick. People started drinking at 8am local time.

Can't believe game day is finally here!

Most of the reason for our fans' optimism after the offseason we had is the offensive line stayed mostly intact. All 5 starters were on the roster last season, and with the way we've developed O-linemen for over a decade we're just assuming that's going to be the case this year until we see otherwise. We got in a transfer from SFA that was all-conference in the Southland but it looks like he didn't win a starting job in week 1 (though I think the competition was close and I suspect he'll play). Another of the biggest reasons for optimism is the return of one of our old OC's in Eric Eidsness. He was here for most of the 2010's and oversaw offenses where Zach Zenner ran for over 2000 yards for 3 straight years, and oversaw offenses where we threw the ball all over the yard to Dallas Goedert & Jake Weineke. He's going to adapt his offense to highlight the strengths of the skill players and we think we still have plenty of it at every position still.

Defensively I expect there will be some growing pains, especially in this unique opener where there isn't any film on this particular offense they'll be playing. There is some film on the go go offense for sure and individual scouting reports on all the players on your roster, but how they will fit in and be used is the big unknown. I think you guys come out pretty hot early, can our coaching staff making in game adjustments and our deep D-line staying fresh for the whole game slow you down enough?

One of the most excited I've ever been for a football game, including FBS games, playoff games, rivalry games. Can't wait to finally get to see these two teams take the field!

I'm guessing anyone here that's coming to the game is already here, but hope you had/will have safe travels and maybe I'll run into some of you out tailgating.
