After Game Thoughts

Thanks for your esteemed opinion but it would carry a bit more weight if you hadn't listed two I-A teams as I-AA. Florida International and Northern Illinois are not I-AA.

Florida International just moved up to Div-A this year. They do not even have a year under their belt. Once they finish out the minimum 2 year evaluation period and STAY in DIV-A, then they earn the title of a DIV-A school. Keep in mind, DIV-A schools have to keep an average of 34,000 plus fans to stay in DIV-A level. With schools like Miami, Florida, Florida St, Central Florida, South Florida who are already DIV-A schools, there is no gurantee that they might even survive that and could be back in DIV-AA by the end of next season. You also have Florida A&M, Florida Atlantic, and Buthane Cookman (DIV-AA) competing for a fan base.

Thanks for pointing out the Northern Illinois thing. I mixed up Northern Illinois with Northern Iowa becaus Northern Iowa has played Iowa St 3 of the last 4 years i believe. Thinking one thing and typing another. Northern Illinois dropped out of DIV-A for a couple of years to DIV-AA i believe and dropped back in to DIV-A.

Ralph,

its just great that you your pumping maine up, but what would you expect if you put a destroyer against a battleship? sweet pea in the ring with ali? point is the huskers used to play the top ranked teams in the nation and won a large percentage of the games and now some people are just overjoyed that they played a tough and determined maine team and won. sorry if im raining on your 1AA parade but the sad fact is they should even be in the same zip code but they are. sure we have had facts and history lessons on how they have always competed well, but this was supposed to be the season where BC and co. got there system going and the players understood it, so wouldnt you cruiseto a comfortable lead if you take what you want and show all the doubters how things are operating more effeciently? honestly i have no idea who is to blame, some blame former staff for lack of talent on the field, others blame current staff for not having coaching talent, truth being its probably some of both and then some other things, but your never gonna convince me that maine and nebraska should be on a level playing field, the huskers should have won that game easily and used it for a warm up like has been done with 1AA teams in the past. well i guess we will see if maine is for real in the upcoming games the huskers will play, because the rest of the season is gonna be tougher IMO. maybe im all wrong about maine and they will take 1AA by storm this year, but im betting they are just an average team that was alot better perpared to play a team and staff that thought they could just overlook them. hopefully they prepare better for the upcoming games, because if thats all they have we have a long season ahead.
