Based on last year's performance, ok.
Based on current rankings? Sure.
Based on national attention? Not even close...UM/ASU by a country mile.
No playoff implications for ASU, only Montana. Sam vs Adams has playoff implications for both.
You mean like the ones who bolted at halftime of last year's rendition of this game?
No, the real ones that went out at halftime, got shitfaced, then came back in to watch an epic comeback they can barely remember. I think I hugged you at one point.
Well....unfortunately it doesn't look like I'll be making this game...had the wife talked into it, then we realized we have a school function Friday night and wouldn't even be able to leave until Saturday morning. Plus, with the UM/NAU game now televised, I'd miss that game driving back and THAT ain't gonna happen.

You wanna hug me
What rhymes with hug me
Well, I would guess MUG me..as in, I bet SE did hug you, but he was really interested on mugging you for your wallet, and watch.

It's been 5 years since Montana or App St have been to the finals. Either Sam or Adams have been to the last 3 finals
Not my point. At all. And you, of all people should realize that. Fuck, NDSU outdrew SHSU in DALLAS. Three hours from SHSU's epicenter of fans, and a couple thousand miles from Fargo. What does that say about the relevancy of SHSU on the national stage?

I'd base your relevance on attendance too. How's your marching band?

Really? A team that's made the playoffs 20 out of the last 24 seasons needs to base its relevancy on attendance? It's just icing on the cake, my friend.
Why is it that some say Eastern can not stop the run? In the first 3 games of the season, 2 of which were vs FBS team the Eagles are allowing an average of 158 yds.gm.
We are talking about this year not what has happened in years past.

Copying and pasting my response on AGS (yes, I'm stalking you).
OSU has a grand total of 105 rushing attempts for 220 yards in 4 games; you allowed 325 yards against Toledo, and Western Oregon is Western Oregon.

I'm sure we'll give up quite a few yards on the ground versus SHSU as well. This is a defense that tries to keep everything in front of them. I don't always like it, but I also think we'll get enough stops to give our offense a chance to win the game, and that's what matters. They did it against Toledo, but our offense was not clicking in that game in the second and fourth quarters. The defense gave them plenty of opportunities to win the game.
Also, you cannot gauge how good an FCS defense is based off of 2 games versus FBS opponents and a DII, so your argument is invalid IMO.

Kats rushed for 240 yards at 5.7 a pop and Flanders had 170 of them himself against a&m and their defense is lightyears better than ewu's.
Not saying ewu doesn't have a decent defense, honestly I have no idea but they don't have an SEC defense.

Neither does ATM. It's one of the worst in FBS.
Seriously, even Rice even lit them up. They suck shit.
