38-10 in a game, as they say, that was not as close as the score would suggest

So did someone make a mistake, or did Montana prank their in-state rivals?....there was one of those PR ads during the first half for Montana.

This is already getting real ugly.

Kind of hard to transfer back, at least psychologically...and kind of hard to transfer to a program that was struggling last year, was on life support for the off season and is going to continue to do struggle for a couple of years.

Calgary also signs former Penn State and Mississippi State QB:

Changing the subject ever so slightly, UCLA football backed out of the Holiday Bowl 4 1/2 hours before kick-off today.

One place that I am surprised left town not to return was Nation's Giant Hamburgers. You could always tell when the dorm menu was particularly disappointing by the line at Nation's. I know no one will believe me but when it opened hamburgers were $.65 and cheeseburgers were $.75. That was also when keyboards had the symbol for "cents."

No, there was not a hitching post out front.

Lord, I feel old.

BUMP

By my math the mean donation is $30.00 and some change, the mode and median are $20.00.

2 to 3 "average" donations and we've got this wrapped up before Christmas!

Slack's game at UCR schedued for last Sunday the 19th was apparently canceled at the last minute because of COVID issues with the Highlanders. https://www.hornetsports.com/sports/mbkb/2021-22/releases/20211219qmka34

BUMP

We need to bump this to the Active DIscussions box until the goal is met!

BUMP!

Scroll on the second line in AggieFinn's first note. It's a link to the payment site. These young whippersnappers with their internet tricks!!

Thanks for doing this.

Go Ags!

State 1-AA Final: Cathedral Catholic 33, Folsom 21

Then there's that school in South Bend, IN, that, at least prior to the pandemic, had a tackle football intramural league.

I was actually pictured in the Aggie for participation in an IM sport. Lot of people wrapped their garbage with that issue.

...and with the re-hire of Tedford, Haener withdrew from the transfer portal,
(which makes you wonder why he entered it before knowing who the next coach would be, unless it was to go back to Washington,)

One of the great memories of my time at Davis was playing IM sports. Great exercise, great opportunity for social interaction. There was a spring touch football league in which several teams had varsity players. As close as I ever got to intercollegiate sports. I think I still have a bruise or two.

I think many of the HBCU's have traditions and even contractual commitments that conflict with the NCAA playoff schedules. The Celebration Bowl is an annual game pitting the SWAC champion against the MEAC Champion.

Florida A&M did in fact play in the playoffs this year.

Davis played Bethune Cookman in a D-II playoff game in 1977.

And as I recall there was a time when Tuskegee had to choose between the D-II playoffs and their traditional Turkey Day game agains Alabama A&M. Similarly Grambling and Southern play in their Bayou Classic on the Saturday after Thanksgiving which would conflict with the FCS playoffs.

Whole thing is bizarre. In the end Bethel-Thompson did play in the game, however the Argos lost to the Hamilton Ti-Cats, 27-19.
