Quick Question About Montana?

Post by SFA Fan!!! »

So I Was Looking On Montana Football Website And I Noticed They Have Not Played A FBS Football Team Since 2006 When they Lost To Iowa 41-7... Out Of Curiosity, Do Anyone Know Why They Have Not Scheduled A FBS Football Team. I Figured Most FCS Schools Try And Atleast Get One FBS School On Their Schedule. A Team Like Montana I Figured Will Always Keep One Because They Are One of The Top Teams In The FCS. What Do You Guys Think?

I really do love the constant dick measuring that is done against Montana. :lol:

We don't play in an FBS conference or league and we don't need to measure ourselves against them once a year cuz we have plenty of information on how we stack up against our own division and our own division doesn't stack up well.

We are 6-6 in the last 12 games against FBS however...how you doing?

We make 700K + for each home game so why would we trade a home game to go on the road for anything less than that? You can not be dumb ass enough to say that would be a sound financial outlook can you?

Lookie here fool, you can call em' whatever makes you feel good. We don't play all our games at home and that is not what I said. I said that the AD makes the financially sound decision to play an extra home game in place of playing a dick measuring game like the little people have to do. I also said that the FBS schools can not afford us. We are not the cheap whore that an SFA is. They want to play us they have to pay us because that is what the market dictates.

You ain't us. You've never been as good as us. You're never gonna be as good as us.

Some shit is as irrefutable as your capitalization OCD and your idiocy.

It's a good question. The entire athletic program isn't operating in the black, is it? If so, that would be danged near the only legit reason why they do not (feel they have to).

Football doesn't keep all the money it "earns".

Just sayin'.

Football is the only real money maker. MBB & WBB are at best break even on a good year. On a great year maybe a little revenue, and on a bad year money losers.

Find me an FBS program willing to shell out $800,000 to bring Montana there and it'd make sense. Until THAT day arrives, it does NOT make sense.

There are several good reasons why we don't want, nor have to be the sacrificial lamb as a warm up: 1. We make more money playing at home, then traveling to Oregon or Iowa to play; 2. The injuries sustained had a tremendous impact on our subsequent seasons; and 3. We are not invited very often, because the FBS schools are afraid that they could be embarrassed, ala Michigan.
It's best if they just pick your school, since you get the body bag money, and there is little or no risk that you will win. :mrgreen:
