I noticed this thread on the Idaho State (dead) board during the week before playing the Bengals. It's interesting to see how things played out for the Vandals and the projections of them returning to the Big Sky. https://bigskyfans.com/bengals/viewtopi ... =12&t=4402 Ironically, it was one of the last live threads on the now dead ISU forum. Idaho's fortunes in the Big Sky have not been good since their return.

I wonder if the prospect of being a bad FBS team is as worthwhile as being a bad FCS team? The Vandal board itself is still up and running, but it's turned into an anti-Paul Petrino playground. They seemed to think there is somebody in the FBS football world that sees Idaho as being worth an invitation to join some fabulous conference if only they dump Petrino. I hope some Vandal fans make the trip to Bozeman wearing the official Vandal gameday wardrobe, which is a brown paper bag over the head.

In all seriousness, there is a thread on the Vandal board referencing the Bobcat/Vandal game. https://247sports.com/college/idaho/boa ... 174788839/

Those guys make griz fans look like stable geniuses. Lost of predictions about them scoring 21 and higher. Ummmmm boys... the best offense in FCS couldn't put 21 up on the Cats.

At least they were being honest and realistic about their team's chances. And if it means MSU rests its defense in the 2nd half, I'd be really good with giving up 21!
