  1. I obviously wasn’t talking about him, he wasn’t even pessimistic.
  2. Yeah, Achilles tears are not the automatic career enders they used to be. Some of this board have outdated medical info.
  3. Do the Montana schools and NDSU and SDSU even want to move up? I’m not sure they do. They aren’t making any of the moves that Sacramento St. (an FCS school that actually wants to move up) are making.
  4. Sorry to bring this back up, but just absolutely hilarious timing on this. Wisner was the only damn reliable back we had today.
  5. Just straight up arrogance.
  6. I stand corrected, in D1 you’re good with 7 outside of football. I looked it up. No, you’re right, I was wrong.
  7. Mountain West needs two teams, because Hawaii is football only. The other sports need 8 total teams too.
  8. Edgerrin James once got into a spat with Jim Mora because of this. It was late in the game and the Colts could run out the clock with a first down, so Mora told everyone to just fall down if they got the first. But Edgerrin had touchdown incentives in his contract, so he got the ball and scored. Mora was pissed, but Edgerrin simply told him, if you don’t want me to score touchdowns then don’t put that shit in my contract.
  9. It’s pretty clear this is what happened. A coach (or coaches) made a bunch of financial promises that they couldn’t keep. At some point they realized they didn’t have the money (they might have always known) but figured if they start the season, the kids wouldn’t just up and quit in the middle of it. Well, they upped and quit.
  10. Wow. UNLV is actually good, this has been their best start to a season in forever. Were legit contenders for the G5 playoff spot.
  11. Utah State makes it official
  12. This is a soap opera.
  13. I’m familiar with the rumors. But they don’t make sense to me. UNLV and Nevada have been in separate conferences for the vast majority of their histories. Nevada didn’t join the MWC until 2012. Before that, the only other time they were in the same conference at the same time was like a 3 year span in the 90s when both were part of the Big West.
  14. Utah State but no UNLV is crazy.
  15. UNLV choosing to stay in the MWC is a legitimate surprise. These teams must be hearing terrible things about the potential PAC tv deal.
  16. The PAC-12 screwed up imo. If they had just taken 8 MWC teams from the start, those 8 teams could've voted to dissolve the MWC and the PAC wouldn’t owe anyone any money. Now we’re talking about them taking 6 MWC teams anyway. They’re going to pay a shit ton of money for the right to take 2 less MWC teams.
  17. UTSA is the only one that might’ve made sense to move since they still aren’t getting a full share of the AAC tv deal, and they’re the closest geographically. I still think they made the right decision to stay. We’re talking college not the pros. Memphis is a big market for a college team, a lot of colleges are in the middle of nowhere. Also market doesn’t mean anything if the people in it don’t actually care about the teams. San Jose State is in the Bay Area, but no one in the Bay gives a shit about them, so who cares? When you combine market size and people in said market actually caring about them, Memphis is clearly one of the top G5 programs still available. It’s not like there are a ton of top notch candidates left, the G5 have been raided multiple times in the last decade, these are the best of the leftovers.
  18. Weather delays
  19. Nope, got benched because he sucks.
  20. Garland won state in 1999. No idea what they have did since then. Made the state semis in 2006. Only team to give Cedar Hill a close game that postseason.
