Week 1: Rhode Island

Good morning Monmouth fans, the greatest time of the year is officially upon us, football season is less than a week away!! The Hawks open up the 2008 season against the Colonial Athletic Association's Rhode Island Rams on Saturday, August 30 at 1:00 p.m. in Kingston, R.I. I will have a full game preview up on Friday detailing all aspects of the contest and a complete Rhode Island scouting report as well, so stay tuned.

As per the weather question, I checked in with my sources in the country's smallest state and it is supposed to warm, 78 degrees, with a 30 % chance of thunderstorms. Rhode Island was a very effective running team a season ago, but MU can also run the football very well. A bad weather game would be interesting, especially in the year's first contest. More on this in my game preview on Friday.
