Monday before JMU--Oct25th, 2010

Matty Vautour reports that the Colonial Clash organizer was very pleased with the results and the event could continue past the original two year contract. The Blog agrees. The Colonial Clash was clearly one of the top FCS events of 2010. It is highly likely that the Clash will outdraw the 2010 FCS National Championship game.

The only thing wrong with the game is we didn't win it.
