Time to put week 0 to rest... we can talk about the good, the bad and the ugly but can't change anything in the past.
We can help the outcome in the next game... if we want to turn it around, let's let the team, and coaches know we are behind them. It's the first home game and against a school we should be ecstatic to show up and watch the Lions play.
So, make every effort, tell your friends, family and associates to show up. Let's get loud and fill up Braly...
UNA 21 UTC 14 (OT)

Yes and Brandon I see you still don’t have faith in the FG team by your score prediction….haha. I really haven’t looked at UTC yet. I will check them out Monday. I know they have talent and likely after watching us Saturday have confidence. I would too. Weak 0 is over and week 1 is here. Ready to watch our Lions live! We will be there.

For anyone interested, you can read 3 free articles at timesfreepress.com, the local Chattanooga paper. From what I have read, the Mocs are predicted to finish around 3rd or 4th in the SoCon. They have a transfer at QB, so he'll be starting his first game. They have a good RB who is returning for his fifth year. Their biggest weakness on defense is question marks in the secondary. Last year we gave up what, 41 to them? Obviously that absolutely has to improve. Playing at home I think we can expect to hold them to something like 24 or 28, unless our defense is really better than what we all expected (hopefully it is). Personally I think we will need to score at least 28 to have a chance to win.

When our fans go to your ticket site, is there a section(s) they should buy tickets for? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks. You should be able to buy tickets there. I want to think we would fill Braly for Chattanooga, it's one of those games we wanted to get out of D2 for. With our fan base, and after a loss, it wouldn't surprise me to see 7-9k or 10-12k. Being the first home game and Chattanooga, I would look for a decent crowd. The only thing shutting our crowd down is having losing seasons, i don't expect huge crowds until we prove we can win consistently. Hope to meet some of you on your trip down. How many do you expect to travel?

A couple hundred at most from families of players mostly.
The fans that travel are older and with a 7PM Eastern kickoff fans coming from Chattanooga would be looking at getting home at 1:30 to 2 AM Eastern. So, they will stay home.
Wife and I live in Huntsville so it might happen...waiting for weather forecasts closer to the game.

I live in Chattanooga myself, but likely won't make it to the game. My wife works way too many weekends (including this one), and my kids are still too young to sit through the games. Maybe in a couple more years I'll be able to make it back more often. We went to the game at Finley last year. It was a lot of fun... well, except for the final score.
Hopefully we fill up the home side, but I'd rather have a smaller crowd full of people who will actually make noise. THAT is our biggest problem. Too many hand-sitters.

Any of the GA seats, but we generally don't set aside certain sections for visitors. Heck, yall come sit with us in the prime bench, we are a friendly bunch...

We have the high school bands performing with our band at the halftime this week. Lot of family and friends coming to watch the halftime performance. Initially the stadium will be quite full.
Last year isn’t that the game were we had 3 punts blocked? Really turned the entire game around. Excited for this game, our defense appears to be contender this year. So far the offense looks like it did a year ago week one, but then it got going.

Section K will put you behind your bench near the 50.

This game will probably give me the best tell for where we are at the start of the season. How much we have shook off the past few years and how much we are determined to move forward. Last year we were pretty much manhandled and our hats were handed to us. It went a long way toward setting the tone for last season. Would really like the W this year against our river rivals.
