Half assed homework done on North Alabama...
Just calling it how I heard it...
Hahaha. We should have interviewed you for that segment. If we ever play North Alabama again we'll be better, just hard to find good coverage that means something in the context of the schedule they played last year and what limited information we can pull from one game this season. We mentioned the wins last year including the big win over Southern Utah, and the loss to NDSU. We talked a bit about the win over Western Illinois as a somewhat recent opponent. We also threw out the comparison to a team that upset the Griz in Bobby's first tenure, a pre-transition NDSU.
Tell us more, we'll tweet you out.
Just off the top of my head, and I'm not totally criticizing, believe me, I understand. Most of the transfers on our team are from JUCO, yes we do ave a couple of FBS transfers but I dont put the JUCO guys in the same kind of transfer boat. We ain't Jacksonville State. Also out D2 schedule last year was a necessity deal, all of our home games was D2. All of our away games was FCS. We lost big to Campbell, after we arrived off of the flight 30 mins before kickoff, but they did beat us.
The Incarnate Word game was canceled because of an Iowa State game being canceled and they took advantage of an FBS payday.
Yes Florence has about 40k people but the Shoals metro witch Florence is the major city in is around 120k. And yes, we have more Hotels, restaurants and banks than you can shake a stick at.
As far as Big Games or programs, in context of history, we have played Youngstown State, Missouri State, Jacksonville State, ETSU, Chattanooga, Samford, SUU, NDSU. Maybe I'm leaving a few off, we won a few and lost a few, but the point is, we will not be intimidated by playing Montana, but we will respect Montana because of the tradition that yall have.
Please message me if any questions about North Alabama.
