Since they started taking 14 teams in the 2020 season (the season immediately after the Vikings last won a playoff games), 6-8 franchises win playoff games every year, depending on if the #1 seeds win or lose in the divisional in each conference. Therefore, your 22 stat is actually nothing...

I know it used to be one of the largest schools in the state. Guessing these days upper-middle class Savage kids now open enroll to Prior Lake. Remaining kids are bad demographics for football?

You guys just gotta do what you need to do to prepare your head for the fact that it's going to be Cousins. KOC is in survival mode. There will be no QB reasonably available, for whatever we can afford and given our situation, that has more familiarity with his offense and him as a coach...

We haven't beaten Iowa at home since the 2014 season, the Citrus Bowl year when Kill stomped them 51-14. Iowa was somewhat down that year, finishing 4-4 in Big Ten 7-5 overall regular season.

Another way to look at it is: 2-0 against easy non-conf leaving 10 P4 games ... to go: 6-6 you have to go 4-6 against P4 7-5 you have to go 5-5 against P4 8-4 you have to go 6-4 against P4 Last year we went 5-5: Losses - @ Cal, @ OSU, @ Iowa, @ Oregon, @ NW (Wrigley) Wins - Rutgers, Purdue...

When's the last time Burnsville was competitive in football?

Both UC Davis and Sacramento State are located in the Sacramento area, so would be pretty wild for a lower level conference to have both (not like USC and UCLA, for example). But just seems like it won't make sense for the Pac-12 to sit at nine members, seems like they're going to want to take...

They will have 10 full members (ie. members that are all sports other than football): Air Force, Grand Canyon, Nevada, UNLV, New Mexico, San Jose State, Wyoming + new full members Hawaii (was football-only), UC Davis, and UTEP Plus, Northern Illinois football-only and sure seems like NDSU...

You said they sucked for 126 years, which I proved false. Agree with your new wording

If players can just decide to break their multi-year contracts with a school, then a school can just decide to break their multi-year contract with a stadium. Judge can't touch them, fair is fair :)

Smack dab in the middle of -- newly FBS! -- NDSU Bison country :)

They just had (still have? Unless he went to PSU) a starting RB from Lakeville

He'd be wearing those laser neon yellow sports glasses out on the field. Yes, including when, especially when, it's a cloudy day. Defensive backs couldn't miss him.

Bold: this is correct, but it doesn't really say it. The entirety of college football history from 2023 and before ... is sheer bunk and irrelevant compared to NIL going forward. Indiana being bad ... has absolutely nothing at all to do with $$Indiana$$ being good. They are entirely...

They've had a smattering of successful seasons, so what you say is not correct https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Indiana_Hoosiers_football_seasons

Then again, Sacramento State is trying to buy its way into FBS (proposing to pay a $10M entry fee) ... so if that happened, then adding South Dakota State as another football only maybe makes sense.

It would make sense if they hadn't already added Northern Illinois as a football-only member. NDSU and SDSU left the old North Central conference together and then formed the (stop gap) Great West conference along with UC Davis (now joining the new MW as a full member) and Cal Poly. Created the...

Wyoming and New Mexico were OG founding members of the WAC with Utah, BYU, Arizona, and Arizona State. They were part of the OG group that left to form the Mountain West in the first place, to get away from the lower schools that were in the WAC at the time it had ballooned to 16 teams. How...

American is closer to what the new Pac 12 will be. I'd say the nP12 is maybe going to be the best of the G6 (P12, MW, MAC, CUSA, SB, AAC). CUSA is at the bottom. Sun Belt maybe a quarter step up, new MW and MAC maybe a half step up, if that.

Bold: I have a feeling that the gears were set in motion some years ago based on ideas that made a lot more sense with the MW configuration from before. Now, it doesn't make a ton of sense to me. They're saying that being the MAC limits their revenue potential. Again, this kind of language...
