    The G5

    As far as the AAC vs CUSA debate concerning our conference membership, it really comes down to long term goals at MU. Is our goal to end up in a P5 conference? Then it makes no sense to pay 7 mil to temporarily change to a conference that is just a little better. Is our goal to be a nationally...

    Well you would never know it but....

    Or the team could take it relatively easy and not risk further injuries after getting reasonably ahead of a terrible team. That was still a 17 point win over a team that scored over half of their points in garbage time. Why open things up for no reason?

    North Texas

    Even with our struggles on offense, a freshman quarterback, and a young team, we're still 7-1. In a down year. I would've loved to have had a year like this when I was still at Marshall. That said, next year shoul be a lot of fun. A lot more experience on the team and two ACC teams on the...

    Today's Smocks Article Dead On...but?

    No G5 conference is much, if at all, better than CUSA. MAC and American are looking good this year, but were terrible last year. MWC is looking down outside of Boise. SBC is looking as bad as ever outside of GASO and Appy State. CUSA is looking better than it has since the Anerican formed, with...

    Today's Smocks Article Dead On...but?

    I like to look at it this way. We can be very critical of a team with a lot of issues while sitting at 5-1, which can only be considered as a good thing. Look at how far we've come since the Snyder era!

    Well maybe it will work out

    I've got nothing bad to say about KY. I'm sitting in Rush right now!

    Please Lord tell me no

    Oh wow, I just noticed it was gone. Right after I mentioned it in a post! But I can understand why, it's been getting out of hand lately.

    Kent State

    And here I thought it was because Div1 got too big in the late 70s, leading to a split into A and AA, both of which were still in a higher division and level of play than Div2. But this is an argument for the smack board haha. As for Kent, they'll be a nice part of the ramp up from FCS to...

    Kent State

    I'd really like to see how he plays tomorrow, even though Norfolk State is an FCS team, before making any real decisions. He played awful in Athens, but so did the entire offense. Even Rockhead had a costly fumble. Also, minor gripe, FCS is still D1 football. It's just the lower subdivision of...

    Hamrick on future scheduling

    That's a very good point. For FCS games, I was considering the excitement factor rather than the will-it-help-us factor.

    Hamrick on future scheduling

    Hoping for some old CUSA rivals (UCF, Memphis), good G5 teams (Cincy, Boise, Utah St, NIU, ULL, BYU), or some regional-ish P5s (VT, another series with Louisville, UK, Tennessee, Penn St, Clemson, GaTech, ND). I'd even be okay with extending the OU series past 2020, but since that has a very...

    Marshall #38 in Coaches Poll:

    After the USM game, or sooner with help from our opponents, we should see some better poll results. As long as we take care of business, anyway.

    Charlotte

    My bad, typo. Should have been three. I was basing my statement of three wins on them playing a mediocre FCS team, a terrible FBS team, and some potentially (and hopefully not) bad CUSA teams. I'm basing the statement of five wins on if multiple CUSA teams really ____ the bed. From watching...

    Charlotte

    GSU = 1 win Presbyterian = 2 wins The likely slip up = 3 wins The unlikely slip ups = 4/5 wins I also listed 5 teams that could slip up. As you are such the stickler for attention to detail and accuracy, I assumed you would have realized that F_U referered either FIU or FAU. I apologize for...

    Charlotte

    I don't recall stating anything to the contrary? Charlotte played much better than I expected, especially for the period of time they've had a team - that was their first game against an FBS opponent, and only their 23rd game at all. They should hopefully beat Presbyterian next week, Temple...

    Charlotte

    And they get the win, 23-20. GSU's last TD was with 30 seconds left. Their defense looked pretty good, but got tired down the stretch. A bit weak in the secondary. Offense seemed talented, but mistake prone. I can see them getting 3 wins no problem, 5 with some upsets. For a team in its third...

    Charlotte

    Showing they're not the worst FBS team. They're only playing Georgia State, but they're up 20-3 at the start of the second half.

    Conference Expansion

    Supply and demand. The number of available non-P5 opponents was effectively reduced from 190 to 65 for teams no longer schedule FCS teams. Combine that with trying to still have somewhat interesting match ups (OSU scheduling instate MAC teams instead of, say, San Diego State for example), G5...

    Conference Expansion

    CC has hardly done poorly since starting football in 2003. 12 seasons in, and they've won at east a share of their conference seven times (4 of last 5 seasons), have made the FBS tournament five times (4 of last 5 seasons), and have several players in the NFL. They're a great choice by the SBC -...
