An interesting analogy posted at the Harvard Crimson newspaper:

Harvard beat Yale who beat Army who beat Connecticut who beat Central Florida who beat Brigham Young who beat Texas who beat West Virginia who beat Maryland who beat Indiana who beat Missouri who beat Texas A&M who beat Arkansas who beat Ole Miss who beat Alabama who is currently the number one ranked team in the nation.

In other news, MIT (yes, MIT actually does have a football team) won their first-ever playoff game and the San Diego Toreros are going to the playoffs for the first time because Jacksonville tried to be like Florida State in terms of paying its players.

How does Mt. Union put together a squad year-in/year-out that not only wins but absolutely kicks the shit out of everybody. They won the national semifinal, today, 70-21 and it was 70-0 heading into the 4th quarter.

They benefit from playing in a state that's extremely talent rich (4th most DI recruits per year) while simultaneously being under served in terms of schools once you go below the MAC level. I mean off the top of my head there's Dayton at the FCS level along with Tiffin and a couple others in DII, but that's about it.

What ends up happening is Mount gets a lot of kids who are borderline FCS/DII (and even a handful of MAC caliber kids that want to play right away) and just absolutely dominate talent wise compared to everyone else. They're also one of the very few DIII programs that has enough of a name that they are able to recruit Florida and bring in a some kids from down there, plus transfers.

As an aside, if anyone ever started a DIII program in Florida they would have a chance to dominate: that's another state that is grossly under served. I've recruited the state the last few years and there are a lot of good football players that aren't FBS/FCS caliber that completely fall through the cracks.

West Florida is starting D2 football, plus we've got the recent addition of non-scholarship FCS st Stetson and D2 at FIT.

Now I'll have to take all my Charlotte talk to the FBS thread. Lame.

I really hate that we're moving up. Unless you can compete with the likes of Oregon, Alabama, and tOSU, what's the point? To play in some crappy bowl game in Birmingham or Memphis? I'd much rather be hosing FCS playoff games and playing the likes of Montana, NDSU, New Hampshire, etc.

One of our scout team running backs scored his first touchdown yesterday as a senior. Well deserved. So, he decided to have a dance off after the game.

MVC with 5 bids and everyone on the same side of the bracket. CAA gets 4 teams with two on each side. #CAABiasPawlllll

Seriously concerned about next week. Keeler is cocky AF because he won last year, but I bet JSU makes it a close game. Idk if the Gamecocks win though.

Keeler is cocky af because he's Keeler. There's a reason why Delaware fired him after one bad season (something Delaware doesn't do).

How much time does Dave Brock have left? Any names floating around as potential replacements?

I'm sure Keeler left him a mess roster wise, but there's no excuse for going 4-7 in your third year: Delaware is one of the best jobs in D-IAA IMO.

He's on a very short leash. I haven't heard any names to replace him.

They need to improve the passing game. They averaged 67 yards per game through the air this season. 67.

Any chance Delaware goes back to the wing t? Ya know, the offense that's named after them?
Click to expand...

The problem is two-fold:

1) The Tubby Raymond coaching tree has very few branches. Raymond at was UD forever and his assistants stayed at UD and turned down other jobs. As a result, there is only one coach on staff with a link to the wing-t era, Brian Ginn, who is the QB coach. It would be a tough sell to make the coach of the worst FCS passing offense, the new head coach.

2) Delaware gives coaches a lot of rope to hang themselves if they have ties to Delaware or the AD. Brock is a former Raymond assistant who left and then came back but he's not a good head coach and only a passable coordinator. The offensive coordinator is a Boston College guy like the AD. So, he will have to get caught fucking sheep on the 50-yard line before the AD will put pressure on Brock to fire him.
