If you look at the attendance gap between the Montana schools and the rest of the BSC, it is really not that surprising (FCS ranking) 2. Montana 25236 9. Montana State 17627 37. Sac St 9109 40. UND 8692 50 Cal Poly 8566 52 UCD 8215 53 EWU 8089 62 Weber 7416 69 NAU 6787 77 PSU 5957 78 Idaho St 5918 83 SUU 5435 93 UNC 4248

Didn't every Root Sports game last year have either Montana or Montana State? This year only 3 games do not include either team, one on 9/26, (although a Montana Game will be shown on 9/28) one on Nov 16th and one on Nov 23rd, however they are also covering 'Cat/Griz on November 23.- It appears the Root contract is essentially a Montana/Montana State contract 2013 ROOT SPORTS Big Sky Conference Television Schedule September 26, Cal Poly at Portland State, 7 p.m. PT September 28, Montana at Northern Arizona, 7 p.m. MT October 5, Portland State at Montana, TBA October 19, Montana State at Weber State, TBA October 26, Eastern Washington at Montana, TBA November 2, Montana State at Northern Colorado, TBA November 9, Montana State at Eastern Washington, TBA November 16, Eastern Washington at Cal Poly, TBA November 23, Montana at Montana State, TBA November 23, Portland State at Eastern Washington, TBA

Not that it matters- but the NDSU/RMU football game had a higher attendance.

I don't think giveaway tickets (ex band, player's families etc) count toward playoff attendance.

EWU scores 2 TDs now up 51-35 with 7:42 to play... that will probably do it.

38-35 EWU after ISUr TD and 2pt... 13:55 to play

38-27 EWU 3 min to go in 3rd

McGhee over Heinecke (sp?) for All-American is a joke.

Bobcats have been soft on defense for several years.. I expect an SHSU win tonight. I think EWU and GSU win tomorrow and NDSU game is a toss-up.

They also scored 42... over/under 80 for this one?

EWU blocked a Davis FG that would have tied the game at the end of regulation in Cheyney yesterday. Davis lost to MSU by 7, Poly by 8, and NAU by 14 so it is not like they have gotten blown out by the top of the Big Sky.

I deleted my original post falsely accusing a UND player... even if it was him it would have been in poor taste. my apologies

Didn't Pottsie receive a vote of no confidence at N. Alabama before he was chancellor as well....glad to see they are recruiting winners.

Well that is essentially what NDSU did last year and it seemed to work out OK

Maybe have a trucker bomb for the trophy?

Mines averaged 200 fans at their home football games last year- so I doubt they ever travel well.

Sounds like he should quit hanging around campus if he wants to stay "free" http://www.usatoday.com/sports/basketball/2010-11-11-3285302194_x.htm

UND has also lost to the last place teams in both the Summit and Big Sky

Incoming Students at NDSU actually have a slightly higher composite ACT score than those going to UND http://collegeapps.about.com/od/collegeprofiles/p/university-of-north-dakota.htm http://collegeapps.about.com/od/collegeprofiles/p/north-dakota-state-university.htm

and the loser could play New Mexico

UND played Idaho

If you beleive Massey, two Jr. Colleges have played tougher schedules than UND.... and also have better records.

Sagarin only includes DI games. So while Layafette and StFU hurt NDSU's strength of schedule, games against DII/DIII/NAIA do not hurt other schools.

How does Bowling Green pay 350k for a game when they have averaged around 15k in attendance/game the last couple of years?
