Why is Cole Bergquist on this list?xeyebrowx

Other than that, I'd say everything is cool (much respect to Alex Watson, Kroy Biermann, Shaun Fitzpatrick et al, I was pleased to see these guys on the list).xthumbsupx

This has already been posted somewhere :D but I'm too lazy to find it.

It does seem strange, but all we need is a mid-grade, decent QB and we'll be doing fine.

I think Cole will fit the bill, whether he's the best in the Sky or not.

Fitzpatrick might prove to be the best TE in the country after this year IMO

And whats up with the QB situation in the Big Sky?....Cole Bergquist a pre-season pick???


xconfusedx xconfusedx xconfusedx xconfusedx xconfusedx xconfusedx xconfusedx xconfusedx xconfusedx xconfusedx xconfusedx


now that I think about it...No QB really deserves the honors


The stats of the returning QBs in the BSC are...dismalxsmhx

Nicholls from EWU had over 1700 yards passing, completing 55% of his passing....most to the other team as he had 17 INTs to 8 TDs

Rolovich/Carpender combined stats are subpar at best. They do have playoffs to their credit however

Sac St QB is "no longer on the team"

ISU has no experience

Barnes hasnt played yet (however, the BSC doesnt seem to care about that...)

Our starter Kriesien at NAU is 9-12 172 yds with about the same amount of yards rushing and recieving...a great athlete with no real exp at QB.

Im not going to talk about UNC...

PSUs White's stats are not good. However, given his particualr circumsances its understandable...


So honestly, what was the BSC to do? Though we may not agree with it, statistically (Cole's record asa starter) you kinda have to go with him... xoopsx

Agreed, he's the best of an abysmal bunch. xnodx

[Pauly LB]

Cole may have a good season but there are no QB's worthy of being selected to any pre-season team in the Big Sky. This is where they should have listed "None"...
