    Panthers upset pick in LA Times

    Sorry if this has been posted but LA Times has UNI mentioned in their possible FCS over BCS upsets....

    Northern Iowa at Brigham Young

    Upset potential: Talk of BYU being this year's Bowl Championship Series bowl-crasher could give Cougars a false sense of Provo power.

    Reality check: Northern Iowa beat Iowa State last year.

    Don't know if you're supposed to link out of PN, but if not, sorry and go ahead and edit this out.

    These are ones to watch on 'watch-out' weekend

    Michigan could have opened the season at home last year against Hawaii.

    This guy is goofy. Western Michigan was listed as a FCS team as well.

      Everyone in California but, "Trapped In California" is goofy....

        That would be some rep points if I had any to give.

        Thanks, from the paradise land of earthquakes, UC Berkley, wildfires, race riots, Silicon & Silicone Valley, 11.2% state income & 9% sales tax rate, etc, etc, etc,

          Maybe it doesn't mean a whole lot, but I thought it was pretty cool that we're being mentioned out in LA where Iowa is the state that grows potatoes to most of them....

              Yeah, but don't you get 3 weeks off per year, regardless of what your employer mandates? What are you complaining about!

                Seriously, did they just compare ISU and BYU?

                  There is also the Maine/Iowa game, but it's the Maine Black Bears no the Lobsters.
                  Coach Whisenhunt 1/18/09. "There was never any complaints about not being named the starter, all he wanted was an opportunity and he took advantage of it. Kurt is probably one of the greatest individuals you'll ever meet. Kurt worked hard on a lot of things that a lot of times older quarterbacks aren't willing to do. That's a credit to his humility and his competitive drive, and the reason that we are here today in great part is what Kurt Warner has done for us."

                    He is just talking about non-major vs. major school matchups and upset potential. Nowhere does he say he is talking FCS vs. FBS.

                    FCS teams are by definition non-major. So are almost all non-BCS conference FBS teams.

                      Not quite yet - Only in San Francisco (in addition to employer paid health care mandate) at the moment. But the state legislature is trying to pass a mandate for 9 paid sick days per employee per year.

                      Why am I not happy about this, because I'm one of those evil employers.

                      Back to the thread - when looking at the article, i get the idea that this is what transpired in the LA Times newsroom.
                      Sports Editor (USC grad): Hey, we have 6" we need to fill in the sports section before deadline in 18 minutes. I saw this promo on ESPN 8 the Ocho last night about LSU playing Appalachian State.

                      Anyone know where App State is? Dufresne, your from Kentucky and married to your sister/cousin, right?

                      Dufresne: Yeah, but I went to Harvard!

                      Sports Editor: Good, their not DI either - story's yours.
