Yes it is, in the fucked up world of BSC football. :ohno: :ohno:

Now that EWU is no longer one of our two "rivals"...

We need to jettison all the Great Waste teams and get back to our core.

MSU will Finish this year UNDEFEATED in the Big Sky...And here is why.

MSU Fall camp Preview!!!

QB: We finally got rid of the QB that couldn't throw, and replaced him with 3 options that can all throw DIMES, and can also run...HELL one is even a Running Back, but threw for about 800K yards in High School. QB will be 1000x better this year...Especially with the #1 ranked QB in the country picking MSU over Oregon

RB: LOADED!!!! We have so many RB's that the best RB in the country was moved to LB just for FUN...NOW he is trying out at QB because we are that fing good at Rbing the RBall

WR: Sure we only have 1 of our top WR coming back, but the replacements are a year older that they were when they were their age last year, and all have hands as sticky as a 15 year old kid after watching Skinimax for the first time...We are probably about 6-8 deep (that's what she said)

O-line: 6'8" across the front all weighing about 300 AND can run sub 4.5 50 yard dashes....The best O-line in FCS

D-line: We couldn't get to the QB last year very well...This year we have 6 guys that will all lead the country in Sacks, tackles, and nose hair

LB: Where to start...they are fast, mean, but never talk trash...They just do their jobs better than anyone else, and love to hit anything that moves.

S/DB: they are OK.

We don't have any...We score every play and go for 2...We let a linemen that doesn't play much kick-off, and every time on Defense, we take the ball away....Special teams is for schools like UM.

I don't think they will be bad at all. Plus the Big Sky sucks, more than enough opportunity for them to get wins


I'm not doing full predictions because I'm too lazy to go through every matchup but I'd put money on EWU #1, Weber somewhere close behind, MSU at 8-3, Idaho does well in their FCS games, and the rest who cares.

If ISU goes 1-10 will be somewhat happy if the W is against Vandulls.

The biggest conference in all the lands produced a quarter-finalist. Color me overwhelmed :pissed:

Should EWU be good? Yes
Should Weber be good? Yes
Should MSU produce something for once? I think so
That leaves 10 teams, or wherever the fuck UND put us. And Idaho scheduled themselves out of the playoffs.

Tough to get past the quarters when you face WIU, a seeded BSC champ, and the runner up.

Granted...NAU shit the bed.

Oh, one thing I forgot to explicitly note…


I'm projecting 2 FBS wins for the Big Sky:

NAU over UTEP
Davis over SJSU

SUU loses quite a bit on D but still has a couple of all conference types and the offense gets almost everyone back except Tyler and this includes 6 llineman that had starts. Don’t sleep on them.

Weber reloads.

MSU’s defensive stats were skewed by who they played last year. If they can replace Bignell and the Oregon kid pans out at QB I think they’re in the mix at the end.

If SAC and EWU play just decent on defense they could both make runs.

Davis has the best QB - WR tandem this side of Flagstaff.

Should be very interesting.

EWU and Idaho will only have 1 loss each in the Big Sky (both against the MSU BOBCATS)
