Central Arkansas is our season opener. But, of course, you already knew that.
What you might not have known is that the creator of 4chan (Hiroyuki Nishimura) is a grad of Central Arkansas. Who knew?!?
As for their football team, they are a very respectable FCS team. They are projected to finish second in the Southland behind Sam Houston State and they are ranked #15 nationally in the preseason FCS poll.
They return their quarterback Hayden Hildebrand (HH). HH was pretty good last year throwing for 19 TDs and 10 INTs. They also return their leading rusher and from last year from what was a good offense (33 PPG). George Odum was their top tackler last season for a defense that allowed 22 PPG.
Some other notes:
Primary color is also purple.
Scottie Pippen went there (may have already known)
Charlie Strong went there (may NOT have already known)
The university is in Conway, Arkansas and they are a sister city with Quakenbrueck, Germany.
Prediction:
A lot to take in here. Central Arkansas is a fine FCS team, but K-State should have no problem winning by 3 or more TDs. I expect that Cats to pick up where they left off last season in terms of running the ball efficiently. I also expect Ertz to have a good day throwing the ball as the Cats cruise to a 42-14 win.
