Gonzaga is bitch-slapping Northwestern around.

I hope St. Mary's is able to make a good run the tournament, I'd like a good two headed monster in the WCC.

MTSU weathered the storm and pulled it out. Every year a 12 seed embarrasses 5 seed and I'm glad that a mid-major is able to stick a thumb in the eye of a big conference.

MTSU is choking
yeah...hopefully MTSU girds their loins appropriately during the TO break and finishes this off.

Would have been dumb on their part to overlook. MTSU has been the trendy underdog pick and IIRC were actually 2 point favorites according to Vegas. If anything they should be the ones with the chip on their shoulders
I agree, but I think we are all aware of the big conference arrogance and hubris towards the little sisters of the poor.

MTSU is taking Minnesota out behind the woodshed so far. Minnesota seems taken aback by how well MTSU is playing.

Hutchison was a beast for Boise State, otherwise it would have been ugly. BSU needed this win to help break the post season curse they've had since the 2010-2011 season.

So you guys don't have an FBS school scheduled in 17, 18, or 19 and I'm guessing no one will schedule you. What happens then when you just play FCS schools? Will you get any press?
Fewer and fewer FBS schools will schedule NDSU and they know it, which is forcing a change in their scheduling practices.

Scoring by Quarter...
1st Quarter: 14 (Haw) - 17 (Cal)
2nd Quarter: 0 (Haw) - 17 (Cal)
3rd Quarter: 10 (Haw) - 7 (Cal)
4th Quarter: 7 (Haw) - 10 (Cal)
2nd quarter was where our kick returner Ewaliko did a Superman fumble inside our 20 and where we had what was a punt to us turn into a FG for Cal because of our "Leaping" penalty...
Lot of Hawaii fans feeling positive Rolo will have the ship turned around eventually after how this game was offensively regardless of the many self inflicted mistakes.
dem mistakes doe

Glad to see Hawaii keep fighting. No shame in putting up 30+ on a PAC12 team.

Stop please. You're freakin me out! I can see it now. One handle is a real boy typing. The other handle is a wooden dummy sitting on the real boys lap and typing.
You don't wanna know how the dummy is able to sit upright

Hawaii and fumbles....

I enjoy the Aussie commentator. Love those accents.

Don't take this the wrong way but it's not like they're beating a good MWC team.
This.
As for SDSU, they need to get over their tendency to lose early in the season, especially OOC. If they beat Cal, it will be a good indicator that they are making strides to being a complete team.

Here's another angle of the Hawaii defense

Staying to the point, what were stadium size and academic standing?
Here are the stadium capacities for all the relevant teams. I am not sure how to do an archival/historical search of academic levels for universities at the time of invite. If anyone knows a credible source, I am open to enlightenment.

Sure, of course. I'm just saying that the mid-major arms race meets critical mass at a certain level and that level is nowhere near what it takes to make it over the hump to P5 (with a few notable exceptions).
I am not so sure. The history of realignment says otherwise.
2005: USF, Louisville, and Cincy were added to the Big East from CUSA. And fairly, only Louisville of this group currently resides in a Power conference, but this is just to show precedent.
2010: Utah joins the PAC12 from MWC.
2012: TCU joins BIg12 from MWC/BE. Of course TCU was previously part of a power conference in the SWC. But again, they were a mid-major for 16 years before getting a bid.
2012: Louisville joins the ACC from the AAC.
These are just the modern examples of mid-majors joining Power conferences. And with BYU, UCONN and Cincy in the mix, it will just catalyze more G5 teams to play the P5 game in hopes of an invite. The MWC gets largely ignored because all P5 conferences, other than the PAC12, of course, are looking east, where the people are.

Take 3 fingers of scotch and ask yourself "why are we playing someone else's game?"
We all know why institutions play this game; for a chance to get hold of the golden goose. That is not why players play per se, but good facilities are necessary to get the best players, everyone knows that, otherwise it wouldn't happen. The choice to enter the fray, ultimately, is up to donors, the state, and its tax payers to decide if this game is worth subsidizing.

I hope St. Mary can challenge Arizona since they are only 5 pt underdogs, but who knows...3 of their 4 losses came at the hands of Gonzaga, but that is the only elite team SMC has played, and they got beat by an average of 17 points.
