PDXGrizzly said:This has been discussed by them. Actually Petrino said it best: “some people are playing hard, some aren’t.” The consensus is that the guys recruited to play FBS are pissed that they are lower tier, and many are just going through the motions. It is pretty clear that Petrino has lost that locker room.
Oh, yeah. There is also the fact that Idaho sucks by default.
In many cases, it seems they simply equate name recognition as the biggest factor in NFL opportunities. Therefore, Idaho being FBS instantly appears better than Montana, in the FCS to many players. I noticed the same phenomenon watching "Last Chance U," where players would rather forego football, than play for a non-FBS school.Grizzoola said:Don't those kids realize if they have talent & Idaho becomes a BSC contender, that NFL scouts will find them?

In all seriousness, none of you new bandwagon fans remember, but Idaho used to be our real rival back when we had the real original colors in the Old Dornblaser days before any of you were born. Frankfurters were a nickel at the concessions stand, and the winner of the 50/50 drawing got to return the first punt of the 3d quarter. My Uncle Randy subbed in at nosetackle from the third row one game and got a few TFLs before anyone noticed.
