Big Sky Power Rankings 9-9

Week 2 is in the books and the conference got another scalp against the Mountain West. Now before we all can pat ourselves on the backs and talk about how great this conference is, the conference also took another loss to the Pioneer Football League. Some things are becoming clear and some are still...

Re: Big Sky Predictions 9-7

After the first week I am a perfect 13-0 and hoping to continue this perfection. One conference game this week and everyone else gets another non-conference game, for a total of 11 games. The last time I was perfect after the first week was the very first year I started this (2004). I have never go...

Re: Big Sky Power Rankings 9-2

Actually, JAL, Lincoln is not a member of EITHER the NCAA OR the NAIA. They'd like to be, but they haven't convinced the powers that be to let them in yet. I'm surprised they're getting the games they're getting. USA Today published an article back in FEB 24 criticizing them for how they operate, a...

Big Sky Power Rankings 9-2

The first full week of college football and the Big Sky put everyone on notice that they will give anyone a tough game, whether you are a top 5 FBS program or a fledging NAIA Independent. The conference got one FBS scalp and could have had maybe 2-3 more, highlighted by Idaho's impressive performanc...

After the week 0 pick, I am at 1-0 and looking to carry forward my perfect streak. Everyone plays in week 1 including Montana State who was the lone participant in week 0. Two games on Thursday and the rest on Saturday. Here are my picks in the conference for this week's games and my attempt to rem...

Re: Big Sky Predictions, 8-24

Fresh start for the season and the first conference game involves the usual Big Sky vs FBS. Only this time it involves one of our own heavy hitters (Montana State) against a team (New Mexico) that was near the bottom of FBS last year, but with a new coach and a new outlook. Still, the Bobcats look ...

Big Sky Power Rankings 8-19

So Montana State scheduled a game in Week 0 so I had to cut my summer early. Even so, it is still time for football and the conference race is shaping up to be interesting with 5 teams coming in with a legitimate shot at the title. Yet it seems every year someone comes from the bottom of the pile to...

Re: 2024 Preseason Polls

No matter how you slice it, with Portland State playing Montana, Montana State, Idaho, Sac State, Weber and Davis, along with a non-conference slate that includes Chattanooga and South Dakota, that is a tough schedule.

Re: 2024 Preseason Polls

Portland State faces 8 of the top 25 and 6 of the top 10. Throw in the 2 FBS games, that only leaves Idaho State and Northern Colorado as our so-called gimme games (far from gimme, that is for sure).

Give clenz credit Ganny, that was a good troll. Also, I was referring to Minnesota's process that Time Connley has been building. and if I really wanted to troll I'd just point out: Embiid was drafted in 2014 Pascal Siakam was studying to be a priest in 2012. He then found basketball, was drafted i...

Wolves can't fool around. They need to take care of business. 2014 Portland played Houston. No one gave the Blazers any chance as there was some talk about that Houston team contending for the title. Blazers took the first two games in Houston behind Aldridge's 40+ games. Houston took Game 3 in Port...

Expecting a battle from Denver tomorrow. Nuggets need to keep getting down by double digits. It worked against the Lakers, but the better teams won't let you come back.

Re: 2023-24 NBA Season

I mentioned to a friend of mine after the Nuggets/Lakers series that Denver can't keep getting down by double-digits against Minnesota as the Wolves are a much better team that the Lakers and it is showing. The lack of focus the Nuggets have had so far in both the Laker series and this one should be...
