I didn't say it like that. I said it has been "equal to" or "dominant" to all the other conferences out there. Sp,e we've been equal to and some we've dominated. I forgive you.

Re: Oddly early preseason top-25 FCS

Big Sky = Top Tier
Big Sky = #1
DJH may have a different opinion.

Totally agree with ya. Of course you only use this argument periodically so we'll have to use this time of agreement to it's full potential.89Hen wrote:No. You weren't.

Holy shit. You never took a math or logic class, did you? No matter which conference I choose, you contend the Big Sky is either equal or greater.

Re: Oddly early preseason top-25 FCS
I haven't read 98% of this thread after page one because it is a bunch of shit. However, if we are talking top tier conference - the Big Sky belongs there. If the discussion is top overall conference, the answer is no
I would put conferences like this in terms of tiers
Top Tier
Big Sky
CAA
MVFC
SoCon
Second Tier
Big South
NEC
OVC
Southland
Third Tier
Great West
Ivy
MEAC
Patriot
Pioneer
SWAC
To be honest, it could probably be split like this
Great Conference
Big Sky
CAA
MVFC
SoCon
Decent Conference
Big South
Southland
Not really worth a whole lot
Insert the rest

Re: Oddly early preseason top-25 FCS
I'm going to be a contrarian here and suggest that Rennie will be the weak link on offense this year - I watched him play and calling his arm "fairly good" is wishful thinking, no offense. He could be good enough to win with, if, like you said, the Panters go to the roll out, but I watched him put everything he had into a hail Mary that carried barely 50 yards, maybe a couple more, and had the hang time of a good punt. It's pretty obvious from what I saw that playing UNI will be a classic case of jam the box and make the QB beat you with his arm.clenz wrote:For your points on UNI
1. Should happen now. Rennie spent most of last spring learning the speed of the game, not the plays as much. The plays were put in during the fall for him, and could only get the basic read plays put in for the most part and relied on his athletic ability. With a full year under his belt this could be special this year.
2. Has Salmon been fired? No? Well then ****. Even with Sanders and Grace I didn't think the routes were great, but Sanders was deadly accurate and Grace had 70 yard in the air arm. Rennie has a fairly good arm but isn't "great" at anything when it comes to throwing. The play calling didn't help him any either. He is 6' but all that was called for pass plays with him was drop back plays with 2 types of routes - curls and go route. It was nearly impossible with that kind of play calling for Rennie to have success throwing. If Salmon could figure the bootleg system out, I know it is brand new and it hasn't been figured out by hundreds of other schools across the nation or anything, Rennie would be real dangerous. Get him on the edge with a run pass option with some routes underneath and teams having to cover the speed we have...wow. Too bad we still won't see it this year, and will have wasted 2 years of Rennie's talent, 2 years of Jared's talent, a year of Schuylar's talent, a year of Mo. Turner's talent, and well...all of our WR's talent
3. We should have that this year. Wilmont should be that guy. Andre is a good change of pace back from Rennie and Carlos as well.
4. Had Billy not had 2 broken vertebrae last season he would have been an AA kicker. Looks like we have some good kickers on campus though.
The MVC is going to be much tougher next year.
