Couldn't resist that, but glad to hear that you don't need to keep bumping this thread in fear of losing the info.

Oh, I like bumping the thread as well. Never hurts to have backups for data.

West Florida has bit of a gauntlet to go through before they face the Blazers. Heck, they've got 2 chances to drop it to someone else in another conference.

Delta State gave West Florida a pretty close game, but they still have The Man Title belt.

West Florida making it easy to track the Man this year so far.

West Georgia University now currently holds the title of "The Man" now.

I'm pretty sure I had all of the dates from 1980 to present all filled out, I used this website here.... http://michigan-football.com/ncaa/ncaa_ii.htm and I pretty much used that site from there on to determine "The Man". It does get harder to figure out when teams moved up back then, but usually poking thru their older media guides will give you the dates you need, and you also might fight the info to confirm what division a school was when it played somebody who may have been a holder of the title belt then. If anybody can fill in those missing dates or track it back from an earlier champion, it would be a big help as well. In theory here, all NC winners were the Man, even if it was just an interim title.

I think I've stumbled across another website that will make it much easier to track it down all the way to the original "The Man" Louisiana Tech in 1973.

And now you will more than likely have a chance to takeover in a couple of weeks and if you do we will at least theoretically have the chance to take it back. After this past weekend I don't know if there is anyone in SR2 that can knock off the Blazers.
