Notable Games For Georgia Southern Football In 2016
Bleacher Report

Last week, the Sun Belt Conference released the full schedule for the 2016 football season. There are intriguing matchups that should provide a lot of excitement. There are the rivalry games and some new matchups that Georgia Southern will experience. Here are some of the notable games Georgia Southern will play.

Arkansas State (Oct. 5)

This game will be played at Arkansas State on Wednesday, Oct. 5. It will be a primetime game shown on ESPN2. This game is intriguing because Arkansas State won the conference in the previous season and the Eagles will more than likely have to beat them to win the Sun Belt the upcoming season. Even though Georgia Southern has been in the conference for two years, they have never faced Arkansas State in a conference.

Georgia Tech (Oct. 15)

This game will be played at Georgia Tech on Saturday, Oct. 15. The last time these two played it was a barn burner. Georgia Tech got out to a huge lead in the first half, but Georgia Southern stormed back in the second half to eventually take the lead. Georgia Tech ended up scoring a touchdown in the closing seconds to knock off the Eagles. It is sure to be an even better matchup this time as Georgia Southern has gotten better since that game.

Appalachian State (Oct. 27)

This game will be played on Thursday, Oct. 27. There does not need to be much explanation on why this is a big game. The two teams are bitter rivals and do not like each other. It will be a primetime telecast on ESPNU. This game will be tough for Georgia Southern because they will be coming off a short week after traveling to New Mexico State. It will help that they are home though and they should look to redeem themselves after last season’s matchup versus Appalachian State.

Ole Miss (Nov. 5)

This game will be played on Saturday, Nov. 5 in Oxford, Mississippi. This game could end up being a nationally televised game depending on how each team is doing at that point in the season. This features the only matchup where they will be playing an SEC team. Ole Miss has the potential to win the SEC, so it is a huge matchup for the Eagles. Ole Miss has a ton of talent and they will look to reload after a stellar season last season when they won the Sugar Bowl.

Georgia State (Nov. 19)

This game will be played on Saturday, Nov. 19 in Atlanta. This is also a rivalry game and Georgia Southern will look to redeem themselves after an embarrassing 34-7 loss last season. Nate Arbuckle will be gone so Georgia State will have to find a new quarterback to lead them this season. Georgia Southern should be the favorite and should take care of business in this matchup.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
