Because FBS and FCS operate on a different calendar from Division II.

Also, this is straight from the NSIC football handbook:

Correct, it's small for the NSIC. But the NSIC isn't necessarily representative of Division II as a whole, just like the MVFC isn't necessarily representative...

Excellent chat with Mistro, boy does he have energy!...

[Stanger86]

Isn't Week 1 next week?

[Stanger86]

Of course it's not a sin....all I've argued is that it really isn't all that different than the situation for small towns in South Dakota, small towns...

[Stanger86]

I'd give it a little more credit if it was true trash talk. I'm 99% confident that "oldyella" is nothing but a troll. Not a Jimmie fan at all,...

The SMSU women's basketball team advanced to the region final without having their school's dining area available due to a fire midseason....

[Stanger86]

Is it fair to judge a school's entire Division II worthiness based on their first foray at the level?...

I'll bite and take the over.

Football 0-2 (between any of SMSU, UMary, Minot).
Volleyball 8-10
Soccer 4-5
Men's Basketball...

See, just think of the fun we'd be missing out on without the Jimmies!...

[Stanger86]

I get it. Initially, I was definitely underwhelmed just because of the name recognition.

But once I started to look at his profile, I came...

[Stanger86]

Sounds like SMSU is part of a "NSIC crossover" on Thanksgiving weekend in St Paul. The Mustangs and Golden Bears will play nonconference games...

I was originally somewhat cynical about the hire, joking how we kept it in the Winona State family. But the more I dig into him, the more excited I am...

[Stanger86]

Honestly, in my own rankings, I'd probably have it similar to where I had Upper Iowa's Eischeid Stadium.....which was pretty high....

Did anyone else remember that Travis Whipple was a finalist for the AD position at Augustana when Josh Morton was hired?
