USA Today: CAA Rolls

About 1/3 way down the page:
"CAA rolls:

New Hampshire continued the strong showing of the Football Championship Subdivision's Colonial Athletic Association by knocking off Ball State 23-16 Saturday to run the CAA's record against Bowl Subdivision teams this season to 4-4.

The Wildcats have won five consecutive games against FBS schools and join Richmond (Duke), William & Mary (Virginia) and Villanova (Temple) as CAA teams with FBS wins in 2009. James Madison almost joined that club Saturday but lost in overtime to Maryland 38-35. The CAA played all of these games on the road."

They didn't mention UMass losing @ Kansas State only 21-17 nor what makes the CAA's success stand out even more is that the rest of I-AA is 0-38 vs I-A...

If you guys want someone to jerk you off, you'll have to ask Travis, Jon, or Mark.

Envy noted...

[BlackFalkin]

are you kidding?

BALL STATE, TEMPLE, & DUKE? Why should any other fcs team envy a win over an 'Idaho Vandal' type of team!? Getthefvck atta here.

[SUUTbird]

Well that is a good point it isnt envy, the competition that you guys have faced is...well . Not at all taking away from your wins as you are the only guys to do it, but still

[citdog]

Thank you BF.

While I love to see any FCS team beat an FBS team, I have to agree with BF here. Why? Because I am small and petty.

When the Griz used to beat Idaho, they never got any recognition for beating an FBS team, never moved them up in the polls and dropped them in the polls when they lost the one time.

Why not the guy who wrote the article for USA Today.

Virginia isn't a real BCS school? I realize they suck this year, but games are usually scheduled years in advance. It's not William & Mary's fault that UVA sucks.

[HIU 93]

I'm no CAA fan, but the CAA is TOUGH this year. If they don't beat the crap out of each other, I see no reason why a CAA team shouldn't win the national championship this year. In fact, I'll go on record as saying it will be JMU.

Like North Carolina (who lost to Furman on Homemcoming a few years back) who lost to Virginia last year, who was stomped by Bill & Mary this year? Is that the BCS competition you are referring to?

What did you expect from the sports pages of McPaper?

[odualum08]

so the 38 teams that the rest of the fcs lost to were all power houses?

[wideright82]

so the 38 teams that the rest of the fcs lost to were all power houses?

Yes. And they have also all beaten "patsies" in recent years so they know exactly where they stand in relation to them. Also, CAA teams would not have done any better against the teams they lost to.

Some of you guys are amazing. When a FCS school has the opportunity to play any BCS team and then beats them we should be happy for their fans and school. We need to take advantage of any favorable media we get from all wins against BCS competition. A question to those who bemoan the competition in these games. When was the last time your team played a BCS opponent and won? Congratulations to the CAA for beating your BCS foes.

[dgreco]

very cool to see media finally giving more props to FCS

[ODUfanRazor]

Wow....Citadel fans are a-holes....or at least this 1 guy is.

[citdog]

it's THE CItadel, I would have expected that you would know that since we have played twice as many football games in your stadium as you have.

[Col Hogan]

Most fans from that school are not a-holes.....

But citdog is.....well......citdog....

I don't know any other way to describe him....

I lived in Charleston for a while in the early 90's, and grew fond of the very proud institution.

If I were talking smack, I'd refer to an achievement that occurred during this milennium, or at least during the past decade.

If I were the Citadel, I'd distance myself from this "athletic supporter" faster than the Democratic Party will distance themselves from ACORN.

People and organizations are judged not only on individual character, but by the company they keep.

C(h)itdog does not represent his fine institution particularly well.

Stick around and figure him out.


It's a schtick.

This is a goddamn internet message board so you "bites pillows" can go directy to HADES!!! You must just feel inferior because you "lived in Charleston" whilst I am "OF CHARLESTON". It is an understandable feeling.

[UNI88]

I am "OF CHARLESTON"

Is that a fancy way of saying that your mother wasn't sure which one of the fine men of Charleston that she was shtupping was your father?
