Haven't I seen this somewhere before? 

Ha! He pulled the same move of announcing retirement a year out.  All but guarantees you a job for the year when there was potential for you to be fired!

Wasn't sure if I should put this here or the Adidas thread:

In the last 24 hours I heard an uncorroborated, unverified rumor* that SDSU may have a couple guys with a problem similar to Gordon's and will be missing some time. The source would have second-hand level access to such information so I do believe it ... a little.

"6. Weber State (Nov. 4 in Cheney) – The Wildcats (ranked 22nd in the FCS media preseason poll) are one of the biggest mysteries in the preseason, but things should be clearer by November. Coach Jay Hill went 6-2 in the Big Sky last season, albeit against an easy schedule. The Wildcats lost some key personnel (QB is the biggest issue) but return 14 starters."

 

Easy Schedule?

Top 5 Finish In BSC last season.

1. EWU

2. UND

3. WSU

4. CPOLY

5. SUU

 

Weber played 3 of other 4 top teams in the Conference. 2 of them on the road and went 2-1 against them. How does that equal an easy schedule?

Agreed, I was a little miffed how they ranked Fordham tougher than you guys.

Haven't you been paying attention:  You didn't play Montana! 

[Big Green]

E. Wash. Had easiest  big sky schedule last year.  But they don't like to talk about that

Ah, that would explain why our schedule was easy, we didn't play the 8th place team............

Only two BSC teams have a tough schedule very year.  EWU and UM.

Not sure if this was posted anywhere else, but it looks like E. Washington's starting left tackle has left the team.

They will beat Bowling Green next week

[northernraider]

Not FCS, but 

St. Johns destroyed St. Scholastica 98-0. I can't imagine how it feels to loose that bad.

First Utah, now South Dakota?

UND needs to clean things up and play well against Missouri State. Then it's on to the pups ... UND needs to go 2 - 0 to finish out the non-conference slate.

Exactly.  2-1 entering the big sky is a must!!

Drake is no good.  SD is real good. They didn't lose much from last year and outside of a fbs loss,  no one beat them by more then 10 points last year.  It will be a tough game at their house. I have SD as the 4th maybe 3rd best team in the mvfc.

SD.  

Mizzou doesn't play D so Missouri st offense looked much better.  Missouri st will have their hands full this weekend.  

If Rudolph goes to page 2 of his playbook UND will win

Relax.  It is ok to look at other teams on our schedule.
