Having a hard time getting motivated for the #BeatCoastal game Thursday night? Keep these things in mind:
1. They’re still Coastal and we still don’t like them.

Regardless of how we feel about the way the 2015 seasons has played out, remember who’s on the other side of the field.
2. The game is on ESPNews.
When have we ever been able to say that? We need to put on a good show for a national television audience.
3. The Chanticleers are going to the Sun Belt.

This will likely be the last time they play at Williams Stadium for a while, let’s give them a nice going away present.
4. We can finish with a winning record for the 10th straight season.
No, we shouldn’t be happy playing for a winning record, but let’s keep this streak alive.
5. No more football until September.
That’s a long ways away. Let’s enjoy this last game.
6. Coastal is ranked #4.

We beat them when they were #1 last year, let’s do it again this year when they’re ranked in the top 5.
A 1-10 record is not all bad if that victory is over Coastal!
Congratulations, you came up with 6 more reasons than I could. I see zero reasons this game is important. We have already missed all of our goals for this season. This will be the first home game I have missed in several years. I’m disgusted with the lack of effort and execution from this team. I am going to try and schedule a root canal for Thursday night, it will be more fun than watching this game.
