Idaho to the 'Sky talk + "6 other teams" that want in?

[NorthwestFresh]

Interesting.

6 other teams (outside of Idaho?)...who might they be?

More D-II move ups? Western Oregon? Central Washington? Simon Frazer? San Diego from the Patriot?

Washington State? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Carroll College!! :roll:

Dude...seriously!! You quoted me. I wasn't talking about the MWC forum. I was putting in my two cents on possible teams that want an invitation to the Big Sky. YES, I do recognize that there are WAC teams that don't have football, that probably want in. Yes, I read that, but I wasn't commenting on that and IMHO the Sky isn't going to let in teams without a football team, unless it is Idaho.

If you quote someone, you probably should have some idea of what they are talking about. Granted, this is a forum and there really isn't a fluid conversation, but no where in the title of this thread is there a mention of a merger between the WAC and SKy for Oly sports. BESIDES THIS IS A FOOTBALL FORUM!! Why would we be talking about basketball. Also, why would I, or anyone else for that matter, even mention CPSLO of Davis? They are already members of the Big Sky or has that escaped your attention.

Then, why would YOU introduce the MWC link, which got a lot of airplay and had nothing to do with football? You still can't read; I stated in my last post that CPSLO and UC Davis were BSC football-only members, but were not mentioned in the MWC thread you introduced, as evidence that it had nothing to do with football.

HILARIOUS MOMENT!! Oh how the might have fallen. Wow, last I checked, WSUWALDO is definitely different from WILDCATFAN, he introduced the MWC thread. Where did you get your education from again? Comment on my reading abilities and you can't tell the differenct between two completely different names. Hmmm...guess you aren't the poster child for Montana scholars. EPIC FAIL... Thank you Kemajic for proving to everyone on this forum and yourself how DUMB you really are.

Easy mistake to make; you all look alike....

Check this out, Dont know where the OP heard about this, but what do you guys think?

It's speculation about non-football sports.

However, the board was refreshing, there were 34 replies and no attempt to hijack the thread. Many actually seemed knowledgeable about the Big Sky schools.

Read more of that board.. pretty much every thread turns into a hijack.

Doug Fullerton:



“The thing is, (Idaho) is an academic fit if you think about it. The problem Idaho has is that it’s a tremendous institution, and it’s located in a place that doesn’t have a lot of television sets. It’s the same thing we have in Montana and Montana State. You get top 100 research institutions, but they’re just located in places where there aren’t a lot of television sets. When Montana and Montana State were making the decision about (moving to the) FBS themselves, they were very realistic about what it is they could do. I mean, Texas has a $140 million a year budget. If you’re in FBS, that’s your standard. The whole top quadrant of FBS has a median of an $86 million budget. That’s what you’re chasing. That’s what you’re up against. If you really think about athletics and doing a good job of representing an institution, where should you go? Should you go somewhere you are going to be successful? I would almost say that if you look at the number of people that went into the NFL and you look at Idaho’s success in basketball, when they were in the Big Sky they were able to recruit to success — and recruit an even higher caliber athlete than I think they can get now.”

Ridiculous statements like this kill any credibility Fullerton might have ever had.... and his philosophy regarding the BSC - making a home for any program with a pulse - is more reminiscent of the Poverello Center.

Who, exactly, are Weber's historic rivals?

Or reminiscent of SUU enrollment requirements...

But when did Fullerton ever have any credibility?

Idaho State, I guess?

Speaking of U DA HO, former vandal QB Doug Nussmeier is now the defending chamion Alabama Crimson Tide Offensive Coordinator under Nick Saban, arguably the best head football coach in America.

Nussmeier, 42, played five seasons at quarterback in the NFL, four with the New Orleans Saints and one with the Indianapolis Colts. He played quarterback at Idaho and threw for 10,824 yards in his career. Along with the late Steve McNair and Daunte Culpepper, he is one of only three college quarterbacks in history to account for 10,000 yards passing and 1,000 yards rushing in a career.

Nussmeier is respected in the recruiting world. He helped reel in top 25 recruiting classes to Washington in 2010 and 2011, according to ESPN's team rankings.
