Big Sky right now with FCS rankings: EWU (#3) 5-1 Weber State (#13) 3-2 UC Davis (#19) 4-1 Montana (#23) 4-2 Idaho State (#27) - just beat Idaho by 34. 4-1 Montana State (#34) 3-2 The Vandals are 2-3 and the upcoming schedule features probable losses to MSU, EWU, UND (#31 FCS), UM, and Florida. They should be favored against SUU at home. So likely a 4-7 or 3-8 finish for the Vandals this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyoming lost to a bunch of skirts. I hear you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of caught between and I’m sure the coaching staff wasn’t super stoked. I think I said 6 years or so and they would be fighting for a big sky championship. Looks about right. I am pulling for them to do well though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkins was the highest paid coach in the Big Sky in 2017 at $263k. Petrino has a base salary of $466k this season, so he is by far the highest paid coach in the conference (and maybe all of FCS?). NDSU coach makes $300k per year. JMU coach makes $390 per year. And those dudes have won national championships. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could win the big sky 5 years in a row and maybe get a shot at our level. And that would be with a rebuild at best. I doubt the Idaho staff was excited to be where they are now. It is a serious professional step backwards for all of them. It is the best for the University ( long term ) but for the coaches... maybe not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pulling for them to do well though. Idaho has some carryover from kids that they recruited at the FBS level and beat CSU in the HBowl so it’s a bit surprising they are doing so poorly. I wouldn’t be surprised if they fire Petrino after this year given his salary and how they are doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VandalPride97 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 All hope of carryover dominance vanished when we learned that we don't have a QB. It's mid-season and we still don't have a damn starting QB for the love of god. The entire team is fukking demoralized. Richardson could develop and we have a couple others on the roster that would be fine if they had enough snaps to develop. Instead, we have the coach's midget son robbing the others of practice snaps and game snaps. There is zero chance of developing a decent QB without that experience. If the coach's crotch fruit wants what is best for the team, he should tell his dad that he's tapping out. Also, if you watched the game, you would see that ISU, despite being ISU, has a couple of extremely talented receivers and a fairly solid QB. They won fair and square. Hell, playing like that, ISU would probably violate the anii of many lower echelon G5 schools. EWU is going to hang a hundy on us. Shit, now you fukkers have made me want to start day drinking on a Tuesday... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of parity in the Big Sky Conference. Bottom 6 of the Sun Belt are basically FCS bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveem Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 They were doing a lot of scout team triple option on the bye week. I think Cedarious Barfi ld(scout QB) might be a hell of a wildcat QB if we let him has 58 TD's passes 8 ints and ran for 58 TDs.I saw him in High school.

Sunbelt is more of a defense/running conference and Big Sky is all about air attack. Maybe our D got used to Sunbelt style and are now getting burned by pass-happy big sky schools.

Capable of rising to the occasion or flat-lining depending on how motivated the team is. I don't think SDSU was particularly motivated against Army after completing a 10-win season in which they collected multiple P5 scalps.
