    Re: NEC expansion

    Academic fit - absolutely. Athletically? Not so much overall.
  2. Re: An increase in the number of seeds in the FCS playoffs?

    Look no further than the recent CFP.
    -Undefeated ACC Champion Florida State - out. (corollary - undefeated SoCon champion)
    -One loss Big 12 champion Texas - in. (corollary - one...
  3. Re: An increase in the number of seeds in the FCS playoffs?

    I was fully intentional in not including a second team from the Valley.
  4. Re: An increase in the number of seeds in the FCS playoffs?

    So you advocate a committee that selects the top 4 and leaves out an undefeated SoCon champion in favor of the one loss CAA champion and the second team from the Big Sky?

    At many (most?) institutions, employees receive free or discounted tuition for themselves and their dependents.

    Re: MEAC Expansion?

    If the goal is to raise the academic profile of the conference, job well done. Athletically? No comment because my overall knowledge of the sports teams at the two schools is insufficient to provide...

    Re: Some useless I-AA/FCS trivia

    Just as odd, Florida A&M didn't join the MEAC until 1980 and played in a D2 conference through 1979, yet they were classified as 1-AA and won the national championship in 1979 despite all of their...

    Didn't play, but still classified as FCS by the NCAA.

    Re: Some useless I-AA/FCS trivia

    According to the NCAA, as of the 2022 season 23 schools have been 1-AA/FCS every year since the split of Division 1 took place (1978). http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/stats/football_records/2022/FCS.pdf...
  11. Re: BBQ Bowl - FCS Game of the Week (FUBeAR’s GOTW, at least)

    In my haste to ascertain whether Wilber's was included, I did indeed see the "G" and the "sboro" as Goldsboro.
  12. Re: BBQ Bowl - FCS Game of the Week (FUBeAR’s GOTW, at least)

    FUBeAR will not believe this article has merit. A joint in Goldsboro is included, but it is not Wilber's. Also of note - the article writer is as bad at counting as some of the NCAA sports...
  13. Re: NCAA and ESPN extend media agreement for FCS playoffs (among others)

    Exactly the argument I've made against "seeding" 9-16.

    The origin of pork rinds?
  15. Re: BBQ Bowl - FCS Game of the Week (FUBeAR’s GOTW, at least)

    Perhaps he was trying to improve on the experience with both sauces. Proper whole-hog chopped pork improves the flavor of everything, much like bacon.

    Ooh - now I want to have a chopped pork with...

    If awarded at end of regular season - Nova. If awarded mid-December - Albany.

    Re: Mount Rushmore of Coaches by Conference

    Any other list for this conference is superfluous, unless you want to debate the order of Bowes, Talley, and Laycock as 2-4. My personal order would be exactly opposite the one listed, but I would...
  19. Re: NCAA President calls for new tier of Division I where schools can pay athletes

    Let the "haves" play on weeknights! Then we get more Saturday football from the guys who are at least pretending to be in college to work toward a degree.

    Re: Delaware to CUSA

    For me, the "junk" CAA football league wasn't about specific teams. It was about the loss of continuity and disregard of traditional football matchups (not all qualify as rivalries).

    These games are why I referenced eliminating a buyout if DSU was added to my dream schedule (only NSU would have to be bought out in that scenario).

    Poll: Re: More Likely Fate for NDSU?

    Two losses more likely than two wins, and even with the two wins a seed isn't guaranteed.

    Most likely scenario is one win and one loss and getting a home game on Thanksgiving weekend before going...
