We are in need of someone to take over the maintenance of the MMB. Yosef has done it for a long time, and we are grateful for all he has done, but life happens and he no longer has the time to devote to its upkeep. If anyone here is interested in helping to keep the board running, please let me know via DM.

“Georgia Southern, Appalachian State, Coastal Carolina, Liberty, Jacksonville State, Sam Houston ... we've seen plenty of excellent FCS-to-FBS transitions through the years. But JMU might turn out to be the gold standard in this regard.

While this sentence may end up being true, it still sticks in my craw.

Our transition resume is better than theirs. Media recency bias is showing!

I think Jmoo transition may be more like Marturd a big bang and then fizzle before starting to gain again.

Thanks for sharing the article, not really much we don't know in it, but I did like this quote, "This school doesn't know how to handle losing because it hasn't had to; that makes this just about the most interesting team in the conference in 2025.

They have the money, if they know how to use it.

This article says what we have all said. The SBC is a crap shoot and nobody thinks App will do squat. That does leave the door open for DLo to run the table.

We entered last season with some questions across both lines. We enter this season with those same questions, along with questions at QB and WR and the defense as a whole.
