Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Not a travel weekend.

It wasn't difficult to decide not to travel over to Seattle with the Division-II Idaho State Bengals to watch their scheduled scrimmage with the Husky JV's on Saturday in magnificent new Husky Stadium. It actually was never considered. Will watch on Big-12 network just to see when Cyler Miles enters the game....... will it be before or following halftime?

Yes, I know. ISU is a member of FCS Division-IA Big Sky conference, but in all that's organic in collegiate football, they are a Division-II donut hole. I thought about inserting my four Tyee tickets in a baked Idaho Russett and send to ADSW with instructions to shove it where the sun never shines, but I couldn't find a spud big enough.

    For the first time in my entire life, I am (probably) not going to watch the Husky game by choice. The whole thing is offensive.

    I remember siting in Husky Stadium on a crisp, fall afternoon with my father in 84' thinking the same thing when the plunger was being inserted into Miama (OH).

    Back then with 100 scholarship limits, the mid major teams got the 1 legged blind kids.

    You chose to watch the entire 2008 season?

    Please tell me you did this only to cheer for perfection like I did.

    I like to compare a mid major with a FCS school that I had never even heard of until last year. I like to do that.

    If you can't see that IrishDoog is passively aggressively defending Sark by using scholarship limits to equate today's FCS schools with the mid-major schools of 30 years ago, I can't help you.

    Who do they play this weekend?

    Then there was 86' when Bowling Green came a calling. That was the 1st time I got to tailgate with my Dad on a crisp fall afternoon. And lord knows I needed every sip to watch that plunger being inserted.

    There are 21 more FBS schools now than there were 30 years ago (if my quick and dirty math is correct). 125 schools * 85 scholarships = 10,625 FBS scholarship players now, while 104 schools * 95 scholarships = 9,880 I-A scholarship players in 1983.

    Some IrishDoogFuckingStupid posters here like to forget that the scholarship limit was lowered to 95 back in 1978.

    So because you put the Div 1 / BCS label on them it makes them better programs?

    I guess if we scheduled Old Dominion we would be fine.
