Talkin Schmidt- Post Season Edition

Watch out for Weber, maybe not this season but in 2-3 years I think they have potential to be really good based on what they are building. Their new coach has connections to all the big high schools around SLC and they got Devin Brown who played at Corner Canyon in high school and was a 4 star prospect coming in at qb from Cal.

The guy has developed ALOT of high end talent at Corner Canyon HS out here, if he's able to replicate that at Weber and the school actually begins to invest/give a damn then I agree the have the potential to get back to the Jay Hill years.

I believe that just assuming the Griz should be better because many FCS schools have transitioned to FBS is oversimplification.

The whole of FCS has become more watered down. But colter has made the point, and I agree with it, that the bar to win an FCS championship is as high or higher than it's ever been due to the presence of NDSU and to a lesser extent SDSU for the past 15 years. Cats caught a break this year not having to play them, no doubt. So I think it's easier maybe to have a good regular season and to make a semifinal run, but then you have to contend with the teams that run the subdivision, and they're as loaded as any FCS team ever was.

Them or idaho need to be the program that pushes the Cats and griz. Nobody else has the resources. Nau wants to be but they've never been able to sustain it. Davis is playing footsie with the MWC more than the Montana schools. The conference needs somebody, no doubt.

Sedona and the surrounding area is not that far from Flagstaff. NAU just needs someone to connect with the property owners in the area to become donors.

You’re right, it’s only been the last couple years that the BSC became a 2 team race every year. I think that we will only see UCD and Idaho flirt with contending. But do you see any other teams breaking into the top tier of the conference? I do not, and I’d challenge anyone to argue a case in favor of any of those other teams.

But that very list is still extremely damning for us. We have fewer titles in the last 10 years than Weber, Eastern, and SOUTHERN UTAH. Who has been the AD that entire time? Who has been our coach for 70% (I think) of those years? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills lol there’s a lot of merit in this opinion.

Those other teams could easily win the conference. It's usually being a two team conference but those teams regularly change. Especially these days with the portal.

I used to think NAU was a sleeping giant in the conference with all of their potential resources but what they are dealing with has more layers to it then the surface. On paper it seems like NAU should be a top choice for guys from the elite Arizona high school programs Hamilton, Saguaro, Chandler, Basha etc… The problem is there are some institutional challenges that NAU is facing in getting these guys on campus. Number 1 being the facilities at NAU may be a downgrade from a school like Hamilton where as Montana for example has comparable or better facilities than any AZ high school. Number 2 guys from Phoenix are used to warm enough weather to comfortably practice outside at any time of year and are used to having a large city social scene. Since NAU offers neither of those to many Phoenix area recruits NAU is seen as going away just as much as going out of State because Flagstaff is so different than Phoenix.
