That's my parents. They helped raise the money for initial construction of Indian Stadium before it opened in 1974 and have had the same seats there since it opened. They are fans but they just can't stand as much as some around us. They tend to save their standing for plays when the opponent is facing 3rd down.

Nada? Is that what the new athletic complex is being called? Is it named after someone cause that name really sucks.

You guys send us a post-card and let us know how that move works out.

If they had thrown on that play and not thrown short of the end zone or taken a sack they would have had one more play and could have run then. Army completed 5 more passes against TAMU for 24 more yards than they did against ASU and threw one more pick against TAMU. Army had 116 more yards on the ground against TAMU than against ASU.

Northern Illinois beat Maryland, Iowa State and Alabama all in the same season for a 10-2 record. What bowl did they play in? None. They finished too low in MAC play that year. The Belt started in the depths of hell. Take UNT's rating in Sagarin last year in finishing last in the Belt. It was high enough to have finished fourth in the Belt in 2001. Akron took a big step toward having its win over NC State last week labeled no big deal, because some people will deem it a fluke thanks to their conference loss today and others will note that NC State got thumped by Southern Miss. The non-conference win theory is almost right. Respect comes from non-conference wins... in December. And to get a shot to play a non-conference win in December, you've got to win in conference play. Fresno State has won or shared nine league titles in I-A. They've finished ranked by the AP twice. 1992 as WAC Co-champs they thumped USC in a bowl and 2004 no title but they beat Virginia in a bowl after beating Georgia Tech and UCLA in bowls. Boise three rankings after 2-1 bowl appearances and league titles each year. It takes both.

Chuck apparently has issues in the first two games of the season. 2000 beat ASU in double OT, that ASU team finished 1-10. Next week eked out a 3 point win over Indiana. 2001 beat a 4-7 SMU team by 9 2003 lost to Wake Forest by 14

Actually Fresno has won or shared three WAC titles, but the last came the first year after the billy goats left to form the MWC.

Tell him to ask the Fins third string QB about his last college game.

Utah State got shut-out last week and fell of the list.

That has to be the funniest ever.

Think back on the close call games for upsets. How many of those games would you have preferred the game end a little sooner rather than have had more time? I'm sure Troy would have preferred to shave a couple minutes off their trip to LSU. I know ASU would have killed to shave some plays off our game with then #25 Memphis two years ago. When one team is better than another, the more snaps are taken in the game the greater the chance that the better team will eventually prevail.

Read the full thread you 'tard.

Awful snotty attitude. Pretty damn big insult to compare one of the great historic programs of I-A to a perennial I-AA dreg. As stated before. Army tore 'em down when they beat us so we showed them the same respect. Fact is haven't been too many times when anyone in the Belt had the option of tearing down the posts at the conclusion of a I-A non-conference game.

Army felt we were "worthy" of tearing the goalposts down for last year, so it would be rude to consider them less worthy.

I didn't get to watch this game but I did watch the NIU game. Illinois State was the team on the roll. NIU had needed some penalties to save scoring drives and had one set-up by turnover. ISU was the one playing good football. Going for two and the win is an admission that you believe you are better off having one play than a full set off offensive downs and defensive downs to determine who is best. Look at that box score from the K-State game. Illinois State DOMINATED every category except turnovers which were even. What sort of dumb-butt wants to determine the game on a single play in that situation?

Bet Illinois State fans are ready to kill their coach. They lost to Northern Illinois in 2004 the same way.

We've never had a chancellor at ASU before. The president of the ASU system has done that as part of the work. The theory is that whoever becomes chancellor will be the front-runner to be system president when Dr. Wyatt retires. So this is a huge hire for us.

Familiar name for UNT folks http://www.kait8.com/Global/story.asp?S=5355477

I like Arkansas State for the national title, I just don't see the pollsters joining me on the bandwagon.

They play a partial MAC schedule while divesting themself of the better caliber players recruited while in the Big East

I do like having Charlie in the conference. He somehow manages to get the attention of opposing fans.

And people say UNT didn't get any respect for all those Sun Belt titles. You are coming off a last place finish in the purported worst league in the nation. Normally you'd expect that to be a lock for a spot somewhere between 1-10.

UT probably did come out better though they did not get the result their president desired.
