    pac10 network. I get it with sling sports package.

    Montana up 10-7 and about to score.

    Montana leading……10-7

    kind of strange game. Washington certainly not making a case for PAC -12 upper echelon.

    Clemson has 3 points with 7:00 to go in game. Also strange.

    Yah but Saint Andrew’s scored 43. St Andrew’s is in Laurinburg, Scotland County, NC. A battle of 2 Presbyterian schools. Maybe they had battling cheers “We are the elect”. …no “we are the elect”. Sorry, couldn’t resist.

    Dixie State QB reminds me of Herman Munster. Maybe just a bit less lumbering.

    LOL. I wonder what his middle name is. Maybe Alvin or Theodore.

    Bobby Hauck launches a closeup F-bomb at ref on pac10 network. That guy is all class.

    pick 6 for Poly. USD is a team that cannot make turnovers against a faster team (any big sky team). 28-10 in 4th.

    Montana State just scored to go up by 5 with a couple minutes to go in game against Wyoming.

    UNI score probably the biggest surprise. Could it be that ND State is only the third best Valley team this year? Watched a bit of the ND State game and they don’t look to be the same team as in their championship years.

    Montana State has an NC State transfer QB. He got displaced here as a starter. I had to chuckle when I saw his Twitter post showing him in his new MSU uniform with the word “committed”. Tag line should be “as long as I start”

    If you go to gopoly.com you can get a video link to the USD - Poly game

    Montana State game has a video link via Wyoming football website.

    I lived in Utah for 2 years while going to grad school at Utah State. Southern Utah region was commonly referred to as “Dixie”. St. George is considered the gateway to the national parks in Southern Utah. I always just thought the name was because of the relative geographical area. Utah’s has its own nomenclature with the state considered to be “Zion” and with a saying “Utah, the only place where a Jew is a Gentile”.

    SDSU clearly the better coached and dominant team against CSU. Controlled line of scrimmage. CSU was not good last year and looked dazed much of the time. I believe SDSU is the odds on favorite for the FCS crown this year. They look to be complete - well coached - dominant LOS, and a good running and passing game. Obviously early and others will have their say.

    Weber State completely shut down in running game. Davis a complete non-factor. Shaheed a real weapon. Had a kickoff return for TD - pretty much the only real highlight for Weber. Of course Weber usually comes up with good defense so they probably be a factor again in big sky too. EWU looked good on offense - but as usual their D will need to improve for them to go farther this season.

    UNC (or should I say the University of Macaffrey -or maybe U of Nepotism?). Head coach Macaffrey sends play to OC Macaffrey who relays play to QB Macaffrey. UNC has a bunch of transfers and they weren’t embarrassed vs Colorado. I wasn’t very impressed by QB Macaffrey who missed a couple of TD passes and was very inconsistent with his accuracy. He also is not very mobile. I also will say that Ed should lose that awful hair dye job. Overall I suspect UNC will be better than the last couple of years which isn’t a real high bar to clear.

    Normally I like to see Big Sky do well OOC but I can’t say that about Montana mostly due to their coach. Kind of hope Washington tap dances on him tonight.

    one thing that is quite noticeable about HR - especially compared to his predecessor - he is very mobile and quick. That adds another dimension. I am not saying he is another or better than Jake Maier - but he definitely has escapability and the ability to make a quick run

    ….but the Ags should be clearly ranked in top 10 after week 1. Those pre-season polls are a joke. They just throw in Montana schools automatically in top 20 and they didn’t even play in spring. Good to move up early in season. Much harder to work way up in polls then “work” your way down the latter being much harder for those “name” teams with a reputation that may not be deserved in the current year. They seem to need multiple losses to drop much. In the big sky, if you are not a Montana school, Weber or EWU, voters will drop you like a rock with a loss or two

    EWU game was very entertaining. A good win for EWU, but it was UNLV who went winless last year. EWU let UNLV back into the game after leading by 14 at end of third quarter. Also could have iced game with a short field goal at end of regulation but kicker missed it (along with 2 other attempts). Goes to show you how important special teams are vis. Gomez 4 field goals and good punting yesterday.

    Northern Arizona couldn’t run the ball at all. First string QB went down early but don’t think it would have made much difference.

    Hard to imagine Sam Houston (institute of technology) would fall from no. 1 after their beat down of Northern Arizona. I will say that preseason polls come directly from the Institute of Little to No Research.

    69aggie and movielover. You both left Gomez off the list of game mvps. 47 yarder and 3 more - rock solid straight and high. I couldn’t help but contrast that with the pathetic kicking game at Stanford in 2005 that nearly lost the game.

    man, I’m glad they play football better than they sing. Compressed a fight song ranging about 1.5 octaves to about a third. But at least they are singing the fight song and no one can take that away despite what they did to the Aggie Band- uh.

    maybe but only 190 yards in that game against the ags - they were not good. Defense won both that game and tonight despite giving up 450 yards.
