Yep. Idaho was pretty good their first few years in I-A, but we all know how that turned out. I don't expect App to fail at an Idaho level, obviously, but declining into stagnant mediocrity is a legitimate concern.AshevilleApp wrote:A good number of people who were against the move backed away at first, but are coming around to the new reality. I'm one of them. With that, attendance has improved the last couple of years. Now I think it is within a couple of hundred people per game than peak attendance years.
The real challenge will be when we lose for a few years. We'll see how attendance does then.

Has Montana declined to stagnant mediocrity? Or no?

In one year, they could be hosting 3 playoff games and playing for a chipper.Skjellyfetti wrote:Has Montana declined to stagnant mediocrity? Or no?

Well, we did blow you out the last time we played before you moved up, so you've got that in common with Idaho.Skjellyfetti wrote:Has Montana declined to stagnant mediocrity? Or no?

Just saying - we wouldn't be immune to mediocrity if we stayed FCS.kalm wrote:In one year, they could be hosting 3 playoff games and playing for a chipper.Skjellyfetti wrote:Has Montana declined to stagnant mediocrity? Or no?
We'll probably go through periods of mediocrity. We would have if we were FCS. It's just the life of a program.
