    Re: pre-season FB polls

    These are PRESEASON polls (and/or rankings).
    They don't mean a DAMN thing.
    Not worth getting riled up over either way.

        Losing the QB and OL, not to mention a defense that has not impressed. As for Grace - I like him. But I can't say that Coach Farley has displayed that much faith in him (i.e. anyone remember him taking snaps with more than 00:13 left in a game?).

        I look for BYU to paste about a four or five touchdown win over UNI in week one. UNI to drop to 15th - 18th in the polls after that. About where they should be.

        Oh yeah....almost forgot:
        Go Panthers!
        Explain to me why Pat Grace's lack of playing time displays Coach Farley's lack of faith in him?? That is just plain DUMB. Thats like saying the Colts have absolutely no faith in Peyton Mannings backup because he never gets to play. If you already have a great QB, as we did with Eric Sanders, you don't just put in another guy.

          So, was I wrong that you think UNI will be in the top 10 preseason poll even when they may not deserve it? I guess I was wrong...or that you think it would not be possible for them not to deserve it. But hey...I'm not nearly as intelligent as 2317 and yourself. Sorry to be such a burden.

          I would also say that Duke is probably not the best comparison to UNI. I am positive that no one other than a UNI fan could possibly view UNI as the "Duke of FCS".
          It would be interesting to see how UNI's win percentage over the last 15-20 years stacks up with the rest of the FCS. I'm willing to bet that it would would be in the top 10-15%. And as someone said before, you don't see any FCS (or FBS for that matter) teams eagerly scheduling UNI. I don't know why you have this perception that UNI's football success is some sort of mirage.

            Haven't yet found info for the last 15-20 years exclusively, but UNI ranks 18th (right at the top 15% mark) in the FCS in ALL-TIME WINNING PERCENTAGE.

              Christ...Okay...I changed my mind.

              1 - UNI will defeat BYU 117-3.
              2 - UNI to be ranked 1,2 & 3 for entire season.
              3 - UNI will go undefeated during the season (Giving up a total of 18 points to opponents while scoring over 1,000).
              4 - UNI defeats YSU in FCS championship game 79-0 (YSU quits at halftime).
              5 - Pat Grace declares he will enter NFL draft.*


              There...is that better?



              * - I think Grace will actually do very well after he gets experience.

                        Yeah...like I said...you're a genius. My name change had more to do with Don Knotts having been deceased for a while. Nothing more.
                        Well, that and a few of my friends ridiculing me for supporting Obama.

                        Sorry I kept such joy from you.
