What doesn’t generally change every year is the real number of D1 level players. Every player can’t start or really even compete at the highest level. What made a difference for us was that those overlooked dudes we found would rather play over sitting the bench at “better programs”. All any team re...

Since they expanded the playoffs there have been more bad (blowout) games then there have been memorable ones. Yet let’s expand this thing even more. And if they snub the G5’s there needs to be a serious lawsuit filed.

For decades people (ultimately a small percentage of fans) have criticized the NCAA for how it handled college athletics. Admittedly some of the minor infractions committed by schools resulted in stupid penalties- buying a meal for a recruit/sanctions was harsh, but overall it appears that they knew...

Baseball and basketball have some forms of luxury tax that theoretically helps smaller markets compete but many of those lesser teams really use that money wisely. I really can’t see any true regulation that will help G5’s. I agree with the above- what’s their incentive unless forced to do something.

Yea put me in the camp of not wanting to get embarrassed on national TV. Congrats on the participation trophy JMU! I had basically said the same thing before and some criticized my opinion saying that “at least we would make it”. I simply can’t imagine why you would want a fantastic season (say 13-...

Zero chance of seeing 2 G5’s in the playoffs again. This first one is gonna be a bloodbath. I really don’t see why some people can possibly see App State competing at this level.

Many here openly balk at a G5 playoff yet seem fine going to a completely meaningless bowl game with a depleted roster. How about the highest rated G5 gets the playoff spot and the next 4 G5 champs compete for the G5 crown. Two highest rated host the first round with a championship game in a neutral...

I kind of have been hearing the opposite...Power conference schools are looking to reduce their power conference out of conference scheduling because the committee has not shown any benefit to strength of schedule. Only W/L. The ACC is going to 9 conference games beginning for most of the league in...

It looks like virtually all of the P4’s are going to play at least 9 conference games. Is there really going to be any reason why any of these schools will ever schedule a game in KBS? Next question, will any really see the need to play us at all?

Great question. Unless something drastic changes with college football 20 years from now will there have been a player added to our HOF who played from 2020 to 2045? We can get that guy who has an incredible season but surely we won’t enshrine a guy who only spent one season in Boone. Very sad to th...

Interesting thread/discussion might be- top 5 best wins and losses. Second one might be too painful to relive

Perhaps we need to change our name to UNCB

There have been numerous references to pro football in regards to the Portal. Actually it’s worse. Imagine if pro players all had one year deals and there was no salary cap. There would be the equivalent of the Dodgers, Yankees, Mets, Phillies, etc. The college football equivalent of the A’s, Marlin...

For some reason can’t post the picture- Coach Moore. Had a nice chat with him. Great guy

Our last child graduated this weekend- my son from the great Appalachian State University! Great celebration we had. Had to make a quick stop at the Boone Mall and got a nice bonus. Pic with the GOAT

ND chose not to be a football member of the ACC. Had they done it they lose the NBC deal- no brainer there. Had they formally joined more than likely they would have been the champions this season, the ACC would be the 4th rated conference and they would be in the playoffs. To bash the commissioner ...

This has been debated extensively not only on many threads here but nationally as well. There are many thoughts as to how any playoff should be structured. I don’t really think conference champs should get an auto bid since none of them are built for each team to have a balanced schedule- see Duke. ...

I wonder over the last 5 years how many QB success stories have there been- P4 bench QB dropping to G5, starts and has good to great stats? For us I don’t include Chase as he started at Duke.

Here is a solution that solves it. It will never happen, but it would help. There are 136 FBS teams. Make 17 8-team regional conferences. You can mix up the big boys with everyone else. Play 7 conference games and 4 non-conference games. Have 17 conference winners and and 7 at-large bids. Top 8 get...

Basketball teams every year say no thanks to the NIT. That went from a significant end of season tournament to a joke. Teams used to hang banners or some sort of plaque in their stadium for bowl wins. Was there any mention in P4 games this year referencing a prior year Gator Bowl win? Will teams ran...
