I think everyone is of the same mindset, regardless of how they posture on the board. It's a new year, and no ones really knows how their team can perform. Eastern is much better than any scout team the Bearkats can put together, and the converse is equally true. Everyone looks good against their scout team.
I think Sam Houston State has a few more variables working against them... therefore, I think Eastern is a legitimate favorite. And while Sam Houston State has been virtual kryptonite to Eastern over the last couple of seasons, that may be offset by the fact Eastern tends to play well in their first game each season.
You could make arguments for either team and have a defensible position.
This is how I see it as well. Fact is, nobody knows what to expect in this game. It's going to be a wild one, folks, so sit back and enjoy the ride. And in the end, let's just hope the good guys are on the correct side of the score.
