New campus hotel is moving along. Hotel will be located fairly close to the football stadium.

I can’t imagine what the room rates will be on game weekends.

The consensus is that the plays are widely known anyway. Then why does Coach Vigen hold closed practices?
Game-planning for specific teams and hiding position battles/injuries.

One BSC coach was talking about the number of wins they had over the last three years, so pulled down these totals not including SSU and 2020 fake season. Sorry for the formatting as I don't know how to paste a table.

CP: 8 wins, 26 losses, 34 total games, 23.53 win%
EWU: 20 wins, 16 losses, 36 total games, 55.56 win%
ISU: 5 wins, 28 losses, 33 total games, 15.15 win%
MSU: 35 wins, 9 losses, 44 total games, 79.55 win%
NAU: 13 wins, 21 losses, 34 total games, 38.24 win%
SAC: 30 wins, 8 losses, 38 total games, 78.95 win%
UCD: 19 wins, 16 losses, 35 total games, 54.29 win%
UI: 16 wins, 19 losses, 35 total games, 45.71 win%
um: 28 wins, 11 losses, 39 total games, 71.79 win%
UNC: 8 wins, 26 losses, 34 total games, 23.53 win%
WSU: 27 wins, 12 losses, 39 total games, 69.23 win%

Most wins = MSU @ 35
Least losses = SAC @ 8
Total games = MSU @ 44
Win % = MSU @ 79.55%


Never argue with an idiot. They bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

My biggest question is how did you decide the order of the teams listed? :D

I'd be interested in seeing the results for just conference games.

I suggest $400 a night with half off to MSU Alumni and F Off to gris.

I saw an ad today for Rib and Chop in Butte with Tommy Mellott. Is anyone smart enough to post a link of it? I couldn’t hear it but it made me laugh.

You can, just simply past the short code URL here and it will show the video. When viewing the video on youtube, click the Share button and copy the link it shows there then paste it into your post.

URL should look something like this:

Code: Select all

https://youtu.be/t51EgqzG2Co
and then will show up like this:

The preseason poll article: https://thefcswedge.com/ags-poll/ags...op-25-results/

Some interesting tidbits (IMO):
This is Furman's highest ranking since early in the 2006 season (the last time they were higher was late 2005).
This is Holy Cross' highest ranking ever in the AGS Poll.
There's 6 Big Sky teams in the top 16 - hard to see that maintaining.
