South Florida...considering geographical proximity out here becomes a nightmare. Tampa and Orlando are only about a 100 miles apart. The schools out here seem to be filled with administrators who don't understand the logistics involved in a spread out conference...the travel involved severely affects even high school athletics in a far flung state such as Montana.

Grizzoola said:Why in H is the Big 12 ignored for a Bizon move-up?? Look at the geographical proximities. OK, WVa is out there, but really: Baylor, the Kansans, maybe even TCU, & TTU could be matchups. See Big 12 conference members: /en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_12_Conference

e-Griz is the sanctuary city of FCS football boards. We accept the kitties, the fatties, the drunks, the idiots and the lunatics. It’s part of the e-Griz magic that puts the fun in dysfunctional.
This leaves many to exclaim:
Build the wall!

When you guys build that wall, and Mexico finishes paying for it, you should put the words from the Statue of Liberty on it, but with either the word "DON'T" at the front or just that red circle with the slash through it over top of it.
Actually you Canucks get to contribute with the NAFTA redo. Your script suggestions are perfect. Making America Great Again.SaskGriz said:Ursa Major said:Lakerhater said:You called egriz posters a bunch of morons and yet, they allow you to post of here???? WTF ?

UNDfan said:TCU and Utah are the only G5’s that have moved up. Cincinnati, USF, UConn have moved down as they lost Big East status. Louisville, WVA, Rutgers, Va Tech, Pitt, Syracuse, BC narrowly averted a downgrade in status.
HerdFan12 said:To everyone who even questions it, yes the move was worth it after the 96 season. To not have to go to Callowhee, NC, Lexington VA, Greenville NC, Johnson City TN and play in poor facilities. And then have to play half funded programs. Yes it was totally worth it. Not even close.

Herdfan12, did you ever get the sense that your fan base wasn't happy because they wanted the Herd to have the chance to play for a "real championship"? Follow-up: did Herd fans ever feel like the bowl wins were anti-climactic or otherwise not exciting?

There were very few detractors in us leaving the SoCon. The writing was on the wall going all the way back to 1988 that Marshall would one day leave IAA. That was the year Marshall got the go ahead to build what was then Marshall Stadium, now Joan C Edwards Stadium.
Plus Marshall had already done everything it could do in IAA, 2 National Titles, one a perfect season starting at #1 and never losing the ranking, a Walter Payton award winner and other various accomplishments. There was zero left to do.
Marshall would have left IAA after the 1994 season had they been granted a spot in the newly formed CUSA. At first they had the votes but then Denny Crum (Louisville Basketball HC) got Memphis, UAB and TCU to change their vote.
Marshall just finished their 21st season in IA after leaving. In that 21 years they have had 12 IA All-American's, 3 Heisman Finalists, 1 Biletnikoff Award winner, 1 Nagurski Award winner, 1 perfect season, 3 1 loss seasons and 6 10 win seasons. And again we are 12-2 in bowl games.
Not many if any see playing in a bowl game less thrilling than playing in a national title game.

Take a shot if you like but all of CUSA Bowl Games are played within a 7-10 day span, so you know 3 months out when one of those games will be played.

Im sure some Montana fans have the same basic argument that Marshall had, would you rather play IA schools that is fully funded or do you still want to play schools that either just don't care about athletics that much or have deemphasized athletics so much it just doesn't matter.
