UNH in the Yankee for football!

That's right. That is what the announcer on ESPN said during the Oregon Boise St game.

What a stupid name for a football conference.

Shows how out of touch some of these FBS announcers are. The Yankee Conference ceased to be 12 years ago:

He was talking about Chip Kelly's tenure at UNH and while he was there, UNH was in the Yankee/A10 conference.

At least he knew something about UNH, which the vast majority of americans don't.

I was waiting for him to talk about that electrifying senior David Ball that they've got up there...

And my point was that he was 12 years and two conferences (A10 and CAA) out of date. It's been a looooooong time since Chip Kelly coached (as an assistant, not even a coordinator) in the Yankee Conference.

He may find his way back there after the showing last night during and after the game. The new Duck AD could not be a happy camper.
