It looks like it, with the feasibility study and all. Student body size isn't a tremendous factor if they have the money.

Of course, for football there's always a chance of independent, or Big Sky associate membership. Doesn't necessarily imply a conference realignment like discussed in this thread.

So.... Dixie State has a big Athletics Announcement scheduled for Friday

Incidentally, the WAC is having a press conference the same afternoon:

Showed a (sound-less) clip of Coach Hawk giving his acceptance speech for Coach of the Year, and then as they transitioned back to the game they talked about how Hawkins took the team to the playoffs and came so close to upsetting EWU

Huh today I learned the CFL once had teams in the US

Nice shoutout to Hawkins and UC Davis there

It's Idaho's fault, if anybody's. Each team only gets up to two protected rivalries as I understand it. I'm not sure how many Big Sky schools other than the California teams took advantage of that though before Idaho became Montana's second. Even though the California teams probably screwed up the conference schedules more than most, it's still a stretch.

Corey Hawkins was leading the career list a bit too his senior year if I remember right.

The thing about good players from top-flight programs is they tend to get drafted before their senior year, or at least that's true in Men's.

Marsh said on the radio broadcast that TJ did indeed attempt to call a TO, but the ref didn't see it

Spencer has had such an interesting career. Never a week 1 starter, but played 2-3 positions depending on how you count them, had PT all four years, had passing, rushing, and receiving TDs, and started and won a Causeway Classic. He's kinda like the Michael Onyebalu of the football team

I bet we'll need a few more years of dominance first. Even FBS teams sometimes play body bag games at P5 schools

Fair.

Don't sleep on Band-Uh though. I bet they could scrape out a TD against SUU or Sac

Huh, might have to reevaluate my plans to see my high school in the state championship game next Sat.

This is a dilemma I never expected to be in

there were days when I felt the DC tried to hard. This sounds like one of those days.

do they vet volunteers? Imagine if the Band-uh infiltrated theEWU band!

Hawk could get more money elsewhere, but that doesn't necessarily mean his quality of life would improve that dramatically compared to what you could currently get in Davis with his salary and presumed net worth.

Same kinda holds true for Plough, though an HC job would be a more substantial jump in income

Ah, yes, corrected to a 2

wait down 4? I thought the Montana player had her foot on the line

Ags are killing it with the uniforms this year. Adds to the perfect storm of recruiting upsides this season.

It's one of the notification icons on the left or the right of the web address bar, depending on your browser. There will be a menu that says something along the lines of "Firefox [or Chrome] has detected an unsafe element on this page, click HERE to enable them"

the page might reload, or you'll have to reload it yourself, and then it will work.

Mine just turned on as well with the "disable unsafe plugins" trick. 15 minutes until tipoff it says so we haven't missed anything
