With Sac State moving to FBS and UC Davis football seemingly on their way to the Mountain West sooner rather than later, I'd love to see the Big Sky dump all three California schools and go to a 9-team conference with a fully round robin 8-game conference schedule each year.

But I doubt that will happen and I think it's likely that one or both of the Utah schools is going to end up joining the Big Sky as a full member at some point to help replace Sac State's impending departure. I'm guessing the announcement Sam is teasing will be Sac State officially leaving the Big Sky after this season to go FBS.

I believe the FCS is going to a 12 game schedule in another year or two so a 10 team conference would be perfect.

That sounds fine as well, as long as the Big Sky teams were willing to go to a 9-game conference schedule. That would be somewhat imbalanced since teams would play either 5 home games and 4 road games per season or vice versa, but it would balance out in the long run even though half the teams would have an advantage in any individual season.

Probably one of my favorite moments from last season. This is when the snow shower and wind started blowing through the stadium during Cat-gris and people started heading for cover. This song started playing and the remaining crowd and players started jumping up and down and that stopped the fan exodus.

I just noticed that every game is currently TBD except San Diego and Mercyhurst which are TBA. Just tell us the (1pm) start time of these games already!!

Would be nice if some of this could be purchased online.

What do you need? DM me and I’ll see what I can pick up. Yeah, MSU used to auction off jerseys during the Blue and Gold gala and you could pick them up for $20. Can’t do that anymore.

[RICO CAT]

Thanks for the offer AFCAT! I really don’t NEED anything per se but I’ll know it when I see it whatever it might be. It’s always fun to see what they have. Perhaps if anything is left it will be posted online.

Couple tidbits I picked up on:
Bryce Parker was sent MSU's way by Joey Thomas
Vigen said the coaches feel really good about young cornerbacks McMillan, Johnson and Williams.

He seems so close to catching on with someone. Hard not to root for a guy like Wehr. I sure hope be sticks somewhere.

"The Last Green Valley" is a fictionalized account of his family's flight from Ukraine at the end of World War II. I very much enjoyed reading it. Rest in peace sir.
