I wish Montana and MSU would have stayed committed to playing with everyone else. But every team who won a big sky championship in the last 11 seasons played in the spring except PSU.

And every single spring game proved that it really could have been anybody's season. Except Cal Poly. And with no ooc games its hard to tell how good or bad this conference is. Look at SUU, they finished 1-5 yet they lost 4 of their 5 games by a COMBINED 7 points. Eastern, Davis and Weber all had to score last minute touchdowns to beat Idaho State of all teams.

This upcoming Fall season could be very interesting.

I’m even more glad now than I was 2 months ago that MSU isn’t playing this garbage joke of a “season.” I still wish we had scheduled at least one scrimmage against a smaller school, but I don’t have even a tiny bit of me that wishes we were playing right now. It means absolutely nothing, only bad things will come from this. Real ball starts in the fall.

I completely disagree. Several schools had the chance to build weeks worth of team chemistry that the few teams who didnt play wont have. To play several games that count and still get that free year of eligibility.

I fully understand the reasons behind why MSU did not play this spring, what with all the distractions. But despite what some may think and continue to tell themselves this was a real season. Just because some decided not to play it doesnt make it mean any less than than it normally does. At the end of the day the 2020 Big Sky trophy was hoisted and come May the 2020 National Championship trophy will be hoisted by one fortunate team. Means absolutely nothing? Tell that to the players who just won their 4th straight Big Sky title.

I think you guys are both right.

I agree I'm glad MSU didn't play this spring. If I'm honest, I completely forget teams are even playing. I have not seen a minute of a game so far this spring. That said, it doesn't change the fact that teams ARE playing, This means players and coaches ARE working their asses off to win football games and win a national championship. And had MSU decided to play, I would be hoping they win every game and win a title too. And if they did, no one could convince me it was any less of an accomplishment because it's a weird, shortened spring season.

Congrats to Weber.

Since MSU won 3 straight conference titles from 2010-2012, I think your math is a bit off.

There was no 2020 season, so 2013-2019 = 7 seasons, not 11.
