4–6 would be 7–5 with a normal schedule with Nevada, Charleston Southern, and ULM on our plate. Notre Dame would be a loss. That's a respectable one year turnaround. We'd already be at a much improved 5–7 if we won no other SEC games....

[quote]I understand the football records from the 60s, 70s, and 80s are VERY important times for Hog fans of all ages… I get it, I really do.[/quote] Do you? Let's take a look at your record from those three decades, because I really don't think you do understand: 1960: 1–6–3 1961: 4–5–1 196...

[quote]Agreed. All you're doing is punishing the clerk who has a job there; the gesture would be forgotten or relegated to "neat tidbit" but wouldn't do anything to really initiate change.[/quote] For the most part, you quit watching football over it, or you put up with it. If enough people decide ...

We're all paying attention to it. At the end of the day, $25,000 gets deposited in the right bank account, and the people who are responsible for all the bull shite had to deal with none of the inconvenience. This is about as effective as kneeling during the national anthem as far as inspiring change ...

Except the people who make the rules and need to suffer don't have to deal with that, and all the people responsible for collecting and sorting through all the mess are going to be the ones who have a shitty week at work, and they have zero to do with the situation. ...

I honestly have no idea of what to predict for this game. I just expect the heartbreak to continue, although I don't know how we'll get there....

[quote]Forget g5, there are maybe 10-20 teams in the nation who can win the championship in the playoff era.[/quote] Every team in a P5 conference would be in the playoffs if they won out. Whether they're likely to ever do that is a different story. G5 teams don't have that luxury, which was my w...

[quote]Maybe I’m Starkel’s kryptonite[/quote] I think the football is his Kryptonite. It's why he's always so eager to give it to anyone who will take it....

Cincinnati is another good one. A team that was recently in an AQ conference and considered one of the more premier G5 football jobs. They're not playing any P5 opponents, but they're 6–1 Army's only loss, they just beat #16/5–0 SMU, and Memphis/UCF are probably going to be respectable wins. Not to ...

[quote]BYU chooses to be independent. Oh well. [/quote] That's not really my point in that sentence. I'm really just using this topic as a way to pick at the flaws of the system, anyway. If you were not a football fan and someone was trying to explain divisions and P5/G5 to you, it would proba...

42–7 now. This has the makings of a fascinating and enigmatic team, I think. At some point, will the NCAA not have to acknowledge that the G5 teams are the real Division II, and that essentially a full half of the teams competing at "the highest level" are not actually allowed to compete for all the...

[quote]They didn’t give UCF a chance they won’t give the Mormons one either.[/quote] UCF didn't go undefeated in such a weird year, either. UCF in 2017 was #22 after five victories. BYU is #12 right now. BYU also has an actual national championship in the modern era to their name and they don't c...

Probably so. The fact that BYU is #12 after those five wins means that the polls aren't taking nuances like that into stock. And BYU does look at least competent this year. People look at the ridiculous margins they're winning by (except UTSA) and think "that score looks like a highly ranked team pl...

W @ Navy - 55–3 W Troy 48–7 W LA. Tech 45–14 W UTSA 27–20 W @ Houston 43–26 Leading Texas State at halftime 35–7 They don't play a single P5 team in their 10 game schedule, and the toughest game is probably going to be at Boise State. The schedule isn't impressive, but they're crushing their...

It really does look badass. I'm envious of those helmets that were posted earlier....
