Saturday the 14th

ERIE (PA) -- Might as well stick with the day/date format for the title of these A-10 editions of "FTS." Admittedly, Friday the 13th was more of an attempted "reverse lock" vs. the supposed bad juju normally associated with that date.

Kinda like the "How did _____get so good?" threads on the A-10 MB...such as this one

ICYMI, video highlight linky goodness of the hard- fought W vs. The Bonnies:

From all appearances, doesn't look like SBU Head Dude Mark Schmidt bothered to shake Archie's hand afterwards. Schmidt is seen walking away at an angle, the camera cuts to the players and then shows Archie giving a firm five to an assistant coach and Arch glances off in the direction that Schmidt was headed. Bonnies fans showed an equal measure of class by hurling a bottle of beer in the direction of Jordan Sibert.

SBU fans really can't be that bright if they are gonna waste a perfectly good brewski like that. The butthurt they have displayed on the A-10 MB concerning anything related to UD is starting to approach Xavier levels.

Today's games switch from NBCSN to CBSCSN, with announcers Tom McCarthy, Alaa Abdelnaby, Doug Gottlieb and Allie LaForce on the call. Hopefully Alaa has learned how to pronounce "Dayton" properly. Born in Egypt but raised in NJ, he drops the 't' and it comes out "Day-en." Massively annoying.

Beat Rhode Island!

That's it "From the Swamp."
