If Montana goes on to win the FCS title, or at least far into the playoffs, if the Huskees bounce back, history might not remember this as the lowest point. For years I've followed small college football and this doesn't really surprise me,since FCS teams regularly beat FBS, D2 beats FCS, NAIA beats D2, etc etc. I think a lot of people put divisions into nice little boxes with borders, but the reality is much fuzzier

Playing FCS schools is whatever, but I've always said don't/stop scheduling Eastern and Montana and never schedule North Dakota State and I have no idea why schools still do. You SHOULD never lose to these schools but they are capable of beating any not well-functioning FBS team. Why not just schedule Idaho State, Idaho, Portland State or some other school like that and not worry about it?
Owens lost to Hawaii 10-7 in 72 or 73 and that was when Hawaii was division II or whatever they had back then Owens also lost to Oregon 58-0 and another UCLA loss was 62-10 maybe. Too lazy to look it up

Well, it is a little more interesting to book a good team. If you get a mediocre FCS team you might as well have a game with tackling dummies.
What's the back story on this? I've seen the reference a number of times but I don't know what it's referring to.
I’m sure I’ll miss some details as I’m doing this from memory. Last home game of the year Willingham announces maybe the night before that a handful of RS JRs will not be coming back next year and will be participating in senior day before the game. The team is visibly pissed off and clearly quit on him that day, those that hadn’t already quit on him anyway. They play the second most uninspired game I’ve ever seen and lose to a historically terrible Stanford team. Willingham is somehow allowed to coach for two more seasons. Husky football dies.
Damn, how did I not already know this story. Thanks. Tyrone was a real piece of work.

Imagine you're on the school yard and picking teams for football. One team picks the first 12 players. Then the second team picks 12 and decides they don't want to play. So another 9 players are picked for a third team.
And the 3rd team with a kid in a wheelchair beats the first team. Don't forget those kids are too poor to own water bottles.
