Weber scores again and leads 14-0 with 5:52 to go in the 1st.

Barriere is so calm, athletic and elusive that he reminds me of Patrick Mahomes. Barriere is the best player in the Big Sky and maybe in the FCS.

Weber up 7-0 with 7:25 to go in the 1st.

Weber and Southern Illinois just underway on ESPN3.

NDSU just scored: 14-7 EWU at the end of the 1st quarter

A few years ago my wife and I rented a nice little place in a quiet neighborhood not far from the city center. We really enjoyed walking to really good neighborhood restaurants and shops and taking the convenient, public transportation to the more downtown areas. The waterfront development was great. Just like any big city it has its problems but we thoroughly enjoyed Portland very much and would gladly go back. That was our experience.

The Big West is a better basketball conference overall than the Big Sky so I agree with Mike that this is a step down for him as far as the level of the conference competition.

If being closer to a great music environment is a priority for him then he's made a good choice. Portland has a tremendously creative music scene for up-and-coming musicians and the same is true in nearby Seattle.

I guess I'm an outlier on this thread...we just completed our annual Team Aggie donations and are happy to help.

First Squire and now Kohler...yikes! This makes me wonder about what is really going on? Both of them were solid contributors in the shortened season and both would have been starters this fall. I hope there isn't some level of discontent going on within the team and/or with the coaching staff. This just doesn't seem to be a good indicator of the overall team chemistry at the moment....??

That's a surprise. I didn't expect to see Squire choose to transfer. Players also enter the transfer portal to test the waters and see what kind of offers they might receive and then choose to stay put if nothing materializes. I'm not sure how that would sit with the coaching staff and the team though.

Sure, winning a championship is the goal and, the publicity we would get would be very positive although I think it would be a championship with an asterisk beside it noting that it was a "modified championship." Not worth the risk and the bounce the program might get IMO.

The Big Sky is certainly one of the toughest, if not THE toughest football conference and I think Hawk is building a legitimate, annual contender for the crown. We've shown we're competitive with everyone. Now we need to build up to being a consistent top dog and, eventually, win the FCS Championship.

I actually think this is a good decision. Playing this spring served it's purpose for us in that the coaching staff got to see a lot of players in action and they got to see what our strengths and weaknesses are currently. It also gave the the coaching staff an opportunity to work together in real game situations and iron out the wrinkles in game time communication. All of these things will pay big dividends for the fall season.

We seemed to have gotten through the spring without a lot of major injuries and stopping now gives the players a chance to heal up before traveling to Tulsa in August. Participating in the playoffs would probably result in some injuries, some of which, could be serious. We'll be healthier this fall by not playing in the playoffs this spring.

:lol:
