So, I'm understanding you all correctly, I should go ahead and book a hotel room where I'm at tonight but for next January, right?

We didn’t get any favors in this but we play 5 of the top 25 preseason teams in 2019.

So I forgot what national publication it was but, it had Montana State, Indiana State, Illinois State, NDSU, and UNI all ranked in the top 25. It also mentioned Northern Alabama and South Dakota as teams to watch, with no mention of us. So off the bat 5 of our 12 games are preseason top 25, with 2 more mentioned in teams to look out for, and then a FBS game. So 8 of our 12 games, as of now we will be underdogs against.(if I can find the article I’ll post it)

This is GV Dad, my 3rd screen name since I can’t seem to remember my passwords 😏. One reason we seem to get slept on Nationally, is because our staff keeps so much info about the team in the down low. These National Guys really only know what they see on social media or the team’s websites. These guys likely have no clue about the additions we’ve picked up in the off season. Also, whoever had N Bama as a team to watch is on crack. They are going to be horrible. 4 of their 7 wins last year were against D2 teams. Only 1 of those 4 had a winning record.

I can reset your password if you like, so you can get back into your main account.

And they want to spread their sphere of influence to all of the conferences. It's all about the clicks.
Embrace the pace of the race.
