Originally posted by Bookin' Panther View PostIn yesterday's Gazette article, Farley says Shaw & Hoosman are expected to play Saturday. Link: https://www.thegazette.com/panther-f...football-team/
"Adding intrigue to Saturday’s game is former UNI wide receivers coach Pat McCann, who was with the Panthers from 2017-2018.
McCann is now EWU’s interim offensive coordinator and Farley said his two-year run in Cedar Falls made it clear he was destined to become a play-caller. He also mentioned McCann’s knowledge of the UNI offense might provoke some signal changes.
'Pat knows us pretty good,' Farley said with a grin. 'His family is awesome. I’m happy for him, because he always wanted to be the play-caller and we were grooming him that way.'”

Also from that article:

If he was headed that way, why didn't we keep him instead of recycling guys in their 50s and 60s? Why did we bring Mahaffey in as it was obvious that he was going to take the first job that came his way? Just let the guy take it and learn because Mark is going to overrule him in big situations anyway.#MACtion

Originally posted by BrockLesnar View PostI think there needs to be some rule that conference opponents should not meet until the quarter-finals. I don't know if expansion to a 32 team field would solve the problem, but the committee has gone out of its way to make sure conference opponents will meet up next round of 16.
Since the FCS playoffs doesn't actually generate any profit for the NCAA (lower attendance, less media interest; thus less revenue from ticket sales and advertising, which doesn't cover the costs of travel for the road teams, the hiring of officials, etc.), that means that the NCAA seeks to reduce the amount of travel costs that it has to pay by pairing up as many teams that are within 400 miles of each other in games (because they'd have to pay for air travel for trips over 400, where as they only have to pay for bus travel for the shorter trips). Many of those 400 mile trips are only possible between conference-mates (especially in the west and midwest)

Regionalization isn't going anywhere.#MACtion

Not quite as bad as us drawing the greatest 7-4 team of all time in 07 but real damn close.
but getting butthurt about which opponent you get in the first round (especially if it is someone from outside your conference) has always seemed kind of whiny to me. First round matchups have always been more about geography than anything else. Eastern schools usually play other eastern schools (because there are plenty of bus trips), western schools usually play other western schools (with an occasional eastern school sent west). nothing to get too bent out of shape over
