So IMHO, JSU will beat 0-8 soon to be 0-9 by at least 8 points. But if 0-8 can't get their offense together the margin will expand by a factor of 3.

I'm going to do this by numerical analysis...
Background - How 0-8 got their name (0-8 present tense, 0-10 future tense)....
Back in 0-8 D2 days they would occassionally step up and play one of the big boys with limited success, kinda like they are doing since trying to be D1AA.
1995
0-8 stuns JSU 21-20. So 0-8 is +1. After this game they wanted to come into the SWAC cause JSU won the SWAC and this was their only regular season lost. Therefore 0-8 concluded they could compete in the SWAC.
1998
0-8 goes out and hires them a D1 coach, Cooper.
0-8 joins the SWAC and starts playing SWAC schools on a regular basis. They beat a bad GSU team 14-13 and they believe they are prime time players. This win makes the 0-8 +2 points on the Big 3. Later 0-8 shocks SU 33-27. Cooper calls this his greatest victory to date. Now 0-8 is +8 points on the Big 3. With SU winning the SWAC title that year, 0-8 knows that they are ready to take over the SWAC.
1999
This is the first yeat that 0-8 SWAC games counted and little did 0-8 realize that in the SWAC, pay back is a MoFo... They started the year +8 on the Big 3. In 0-8 first visit to Grambling, GSU beat them 36-31, lowering there +8 advantage to just a mere +3 points and making 0-8 become officially 0-1(since it now counts). Then 0-8 made their initial visit to Baton Rouge. SU beat them 29-12, totally taking away 0-8 positive advantage. Now 0-8 is 0-2 and down -14 points. Then JSU pays them a visit to Crews and whips them 28-18, now 0-8 is 0-3 and down -24 points.
2000
0-8 loses to GSU 17-14, becoming 0-4 and down -27 points. 0-8 loses to SU 31-20, becoming 0-5 and down -38 points. Then they lose to JSU 34-28, becoming 0-6 and down -44 points. Then luck ould be on their side and the come through the back door (Who in the "L" left the gate open?)/i] got a rematch with GSU in the SCGII, which they lost 14-6, making them 0-7, and down -52 points.
2001
0-8, loses to GSU 27-7, making them 0-8 and down -72 points.
And now they face JSU on 9-29.
Based upon this numerical analysis, 0-8 is losing by an average 9 points per game. JSU average margin of victory over 0-8 is 8 points. 0-8 doesn't lose too many games by wide margins, i.e. they just lose 'em.
So IMHO, JSU will beat 0-8 soon to be 0-9 by at least 8 points. But if 0-8 can't get their offense together the margin will expand by a factor of 3.
I hope this historical numerical analysis has those new to the Smack page.
