Re: The FCS soars as the SoCon sucks

McNeese also beat Middle Tennessee last year to start the season, but this year is ridiculous. I thought that it was a misprint.

Re: App State and Georgia Southern to join Sun Belt

The geography portion is the biggest issue for me - I can be in Atlanta in a couple of hours and Statesboro in just a little more. Aside from that it's a hike to get to Troy or MTSU at just over 5 hrs. by car. I know BSC fans are used to that, but it'll be a struggle to fill seats in N. Texas or Go...

Re: Northern Illinois in the Orange Bowl?

It would have been the same scenario if Kent State would have won the game. Kent State was ranked 17th at that time. They certainly would have been rated higher than Wisconsin and Louisville so what difference would it have made? Northern Illinois earned their berth and Oklahoma, Georgia, LSU, and T...

Re: Bowl Season Thread

This was WKU's best chance to make a bowl and didn't, I'm very disappointed. :ohno: I just hope that WKU doesn't regress next year especially since the Toppers have the best RB that no one will get to see is graduating. That's their loss.
