Re: FCS Saturday

They probably would have had two if Grownowski was not injured early in the first quarter of the 2020 Championship game. Very true. Of course, many teams MIGHT have won or at least challenged more favorably for trophies had it not been for injuries to critical players at key times in the season. Gr...

Re: Will the game day experience go FBS too?

One question I have, and I know next to nothing about marching band, instruments, etc. But why when the band does actually play during the game does it have to be piped in over the speakers? Aren’t they loud enough just to be heard throughout the stadium without needing to be piped in? Go to any FB...

Re: OT: NDSU HC to USC

I don't think he's been terribly liked at NDSU. Word you hear on the other message boards is that there's been a sense of disappointment in him since they aren't automatically winning national titles like they have in the past. Maybe a victim of past track records and too-high expectations.

Re: Will the game day experience go FBS too?

Heidi's gone. Maybe a new band director has different ideas. Music to my ears....no pun intended! she is the worst "Football band leader" maybe she is good for competitions and concerts, but for football games her approach is just terrible While I agree there could have been a better bala...

Re: FCS Saturday

Villanova- We have a coaching staff that's a work in progress. They have one of maturity and stability. We beat nobody this season and finished 4th in the CAA. They finished 1st. They ran a 3 man front as we did but had backers who were a step faster then anyone we utilized . Our greatest receivers...

Re: NIL- Blue Hen Collective

[*]Ninety (90) FBS Scholarship QBs have entered the Transfer Portal. Doesn't include the FCS entries like UNH QB Brosmer going to Minnesota Saw that. And big names too. This isn’t just guys wanting an opportunity to play and FCS and G5 guys moving to bigger programs. Remember last summer when that ...

Re: Huge day for CUSA!

The ACC’s days could be numbered too. FSU will most likely fast track out and take alt least Clemson with them, if not UNC and Miami. Supposedly half the league has already reached out to the Big 12. Could just be a P2 when it’s all said and done… Yup, and that means a fair number of former ACC sch...

Re: Now It Begins

Stop saying we're mediocre. Mediocre is Rhode Island. Mediocre is the Patriot League outside of Lafayette and HC. Mediocre is all of the NEC, a good chunk of the Southern, etc. We won 17 games in two years, including 2 playoff wins. Clearly we're not at the top of the FCS world, as evidenced by our ...

Re: Game Thread: Montana

Agreed. Next two years of transition will be interesting - who plays, who redshirts, who leaves, etc. Maybe Minucci turns into a real player down the line. There's going to be a lot of new players coming into the program over the next two seasons. We'll see how many currently on the team will still...

Weird - there's literally no reason for the trash talking - this hasn't been a contentious game, and frankly has been determined for some time now. Maybe in a closer game I get it - in this game, it's just odd.

He's also played real hard tonight as well. Almost chasing down that fumble recovery in a game like this showed a lot.

Re: Game Thread: Montana

Well, that sucked. Think that's the first time Townsend did anything tonight and he coughs it up.

Youngblood staying with that was some good effort - for naught, but good effort.

Re: Game Thread: Montana

Crappy there - Minucci goes in likely to run himself, then didn't get the play off. Have to call timeout, and they get the false start and the drive stalls. Had a 3rd and short and stopped ourselves. Poorly coached You gathered all that from the tv? You were in on the conversation between Carty and...
