No one said the BSC was superior to the MV - it was stated that the BSC is a superior conference, which it is along with the CAA, SoCon and MVFC. And, with 4 teams that have won the national title from the MV, you realize that there have been 5 champions from the Big Sky right? Boise State, Idaho State, Montana State, Montana and Eastern Washington. But, at least you come back with them being equal, which I think most would agree with here.

I was there in 2010, and I must say that they surely know how to treat their guests. Friday afternoon, after buying our first pitcher of beer, we didn't pay for another drink the rest of the night. Saturday, almost everyone we walked by stopped us to offer us food and drink, and to talk a little football. It was an amazing experience. I'm hoping to start getting to some other out of town games in the future. Davis, Poly, Montana State are a few that are on top of my list.

According to Travis Wilson, UND has offered TE Shane Wimann from Wisconsin Dells. Wimann already has an offer from NDSU.

They forgot the "Who gives a rip" option......

Couple more - first, you have Cole Reyes twice (DB and S) Then, DeAndre Miller committed to Arizona http://recruiting.scout.com/a.z?s=73&p=8&c=1&nid=6056161

New offer. RB Direll Clark Lake Villa, IllinoisLakes Community 6'1" 225 N/A http://rivals.yahoo....6ZqZ_FnsntIPZB4

Not sure if this has been discussed elsewhere - here is an interview with Fullerton from today. http://www.theupsetblog.com/2012/06/big-sky-commissioner-speaks-on-idaho.html#more

Yes, I agree with BSB. Everyone needs to realize that there is more than just football that needs to be looked at in the context of "a textbook case of a school that should have stayed Division II". UNC has been very successful in other sports - just because the football team is currently down (and admittedly it has been for a little bit) doesn't mean the move up from an overall perspective has been a complete disaster.

Measure 4 results are now on the front page of cnnsi.com. Here is the AP article. http://sportsillustr...ml?sct=hp_t2_a9

This is turning into a complete landslide. I was expecting a 55-45 gap or less. Definitely a bittersweet time, but I've come to accept it.

So, when will this thing start updating? Very curious as to how everything is going.

What I posted on AGS below. On a side note - you must think highly of Portland State. You have them as your favorites then? They can only lose two games to hit the 9 win mark, so with Washington on the schedule you must think they may only have one Big Sky loss (or zero if they lose to us and Wash ). 1) Cal Poly - 6.5 wins - Over 2) Cal State Sacramento - 3.5 wins - Over 3) Cal Davis - 3.5 wins - Over 4) Eastern Washington - 6.5 wins - Over 5) Idaho State - 2.5 wins - Under 6) Montana - 8.5 wins - Under 7) Montana State - 9.5 wins - Under 8) North Dakota - 5.5 wins - Over 9) Northern Arizona - 3.5 wins - Over 10) Northern Colorado - 3.5 wins - Under 11) Portland State - 8.5 wins - Under 12) Southern Utah - 5.5 wins - Over 12) Weber State - 6.5 wins - Under

SFI noted they are working on confirming a JUCO DB transfer coming in next year.

I believe that's why he used the smiley face........

Big Game Hunters That Kill Rodents With Pellet Guns? That covers the requirements

It was probably more of a lucky guess with Brown than anything No golden nuggets from me at this time.......

Thanks Travis - appreciate the info. Hopefully you are able to post regular updates, as I know some of us would appreciate them.

Sounds like UND offered three more Wisco players yesterday per WisSportsNet. Don't have any names......will update if/when hear anything. EDIT: One may be Brandon Miller. DT Brandon Miller, 6'5" 290 Waterford, WI http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/recruiting/player-Brandon-Miller-133603;_ylt=Aly59Dkj_ZCKGX8iYkk1qGhIPZB4

According to EDGYTIM, UND has an offer out to Oak Lawn Ill. Richards junior OG Joe Kupcikevicius.

Although I've kept pretty quiet on this issue overall, I will say that 82 seems to nail my thoughts / feelings with his posts. Probably puts them into words better than I would as well. Dave, you are entitled to your opinion, and I will respectfully disagree with what your line of thinking is. It's time to move on.

I actually told some friends at the beginninig of the year that Daryl Brown should be starting (prior to game 1 during Spring practices) over both Mackey and Hall. I thought he was going to be a stud. I agree - heard great things about Dwayne Brown and hopefully he can make an impact.

I think they only had three over 30 yards, but all three (48, 80, 88) went for TDs. You may be right that they had one more over 30 that got them down the field quickly. The defensive backfield is also my greatest concern - get some unexpected results from there and we may push for a playoff spot. Realistically, I still see 6 or 7 wins, but will cheer my ass off and happily be proven wrong.
