Great move by GSU and ACU to start a day ahead of everyone else. A game that would be most unwatchable is now on my radar. By August, I am ready to watch anything, and these two teams I have never seen before on now on my radar.

That September 6 matchup between LA Tech and ULL should be a great in-state rivalry game to catch early in the season. I am a bit surprised it was not picked up by ESPN News as well.
