Gooooooood morrrrrrrrrning Refugees! The Bulldogs opened the 2026 season with a 63-3 win over a thoroughly outmatched Tennessee State team, as they should have. It was actually, kinda nice to see the Dawgs come out in the first game and not fiddle-fart around. They got after it, got a great start and rotated in some kids that need experience. Would like to see more of the same today. Western Kentucky is a better team than we faced last week but, there should be no nail-biting moments in this one.

Pretty much the same as last week, get the starters some live reps, get some bench players some game experience and everyone walk out healthy. I ain’t commenting on the spread, Kirby shot that to shit last week. Just win baby.
This thread is open for your comments throughout today’s game.
Go Dawgs!
I’ll have my red shirt and gray shorts on. Plus, I’ll be yelling at neighborhood kids to stay off my lawn.
Damn kids.
I will not be told what to wear
Tight end
Looking good. Much, much better and efficient than we would look against this level of competition in recent history. If I wanted to complain, I’d say Gunner doesn’t have the touch on the long ball, but I don’t want to complain. 😁
Same. I cant even remember two hot starts in a row.
