Milestone game #3…2…1
Ok, two big reasons I’m consolidating the final three. First, I’m behind. I said on the air that I would have all these done by the College Football Playoff title game and I’m slack on that. Secondly, and “after further review,” why not put the final three together to save everyone from ruining the surprise […]
After Further Review – A Fitting End
For the first half of yesterday’s Radiance Technologies Independence Bowl, it seemed like the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers were poised to earn their third bowl trophy. QB Tad Hudson played the best football of his career in the opening two quarters (15-21 passing, 194 yards, 2 TDs), the defense kept getting stops, Louisiana Tech didn’t seem […]
After Further Review – Time to Bowl
On Tuesday afternoon in Shreveport, Louisiana, the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers will play in its sixth consecutive bowl game and this time in one of the most historic and long-running still in existence. The Chants (6-6) will square off with future Sun Belt member Louisiana Tech (7-5) in the Radiance Technologies Independence Bowl, played every season (except 2020) with varying sponsors since […]
Milestone Game #4
Merry Christmas from all of us at The Strut first and foremost. We wish you all the best this Christmas season and hope that you remember the Reason for the Season as well as the joy that Santa can bring! The next installment in our milestone game list hits at number four. It was loud […]
After Further Review – Return to Excellence
New Coastal Carolina head football coach Ryan Beard was introduced earlier today at the HTC Center on campus and as far as opening acts go, this one was pretty good. Beard is the fifth head coach to lead Chanticleer Football and will be the youngest to do so at 36 years old. However, listening to […]
After Further Review – Fear the Beard
It became official early Thursday evening (Dec. 11) as Coastal Carolina VP for Intercollegiate Athletics and Campus Rec Chance Miller announced that he has chosen Missouri State head coach Ryan Beard to become the fifth head football coach in CCU program history. Just one man’s opinion: I am pleased with this choice. We broke things […]
Milestone Game #5
I like to think I’m clever when it comes to names for these but I gave up on that after trying to think of a craft name for game number ten. However, milestone game #5 could be called “Transition Triumph!” We’re headed back to September 2, 2017. Coastal hosted UMass and won 38-28. As CCU […]
After Further Review – Changes
Typically, after each game in 2025, I would post a blog recapping some view or opinion of the Coastal Football contest from the weekend. Given the recent turn of events around the leadership of the program and how the game against James Madison turned out (about as I expected), I’m not going to spend many […]
Milestone Game #6
Admittedly, it has been hard to focus with all that’s gone on the last two days, but here we are. We find ourselves at the sixth milestone game in CCU history. This game took place on November 21st, 2020. Coastal hosted a familiar foe that day in Appalachian State. On that day, Coastal won its […]
After Further Review – Stay in the Fight
South Carolina’s 51-7 win over Coastal on Saturday was much like watching the Chants loss at Old Dominion earlier this year. It was over fast, and the final score was ugly. The Gamecocks hit paydirt on their first play from scrimmage, ran out to a 20-0 lead at the end of the 1st quarter, 37-0 […]
