Idaho

What does everyone think? Are they coming back? We need to keep the off-season discussions going on this forum.

Good for all parties involved. Idaho gains regional rivalries in EWU, Idaho State, Montana and to some extent Weber and Montana State. This will benefit EWU quite a bit since we'll have another Montana type rival to play against and will further help EWU's profile in the region by having someone like that to play against every year.

This also could help long term prospects too... This puts Idaho, Montana, Montana State, and EWU (if we can continue the great fan support from the last few years) in a solid position to consider a IA jump in the distant future. That scenario wouldn't put Idaho (or the other teams involved) in the position they were in when only Boise State made the jump.

They're gonna come back kicking and screaming, but they will come back. They won't survive as Independent, and they're not going to drop football.

Eventually someone in an authority position will come to the obvious conclusion that "we tried moving to FBS and it didn't work". The biggest mistake would be to try to force the issue and after a few more years of losing games and revenue, as a weak independent, come back to the BSC, if the offer is still there.
I am still banned from their site so do not know how bad fans are screaming, or are they?

Maybe if you weren't such a troll you wouldn't get banned from forums. :lol:

It's entertaining, but nearly as bad as it would be if it were happening to the Griz.

Those guys are pretty thin skinned. As you know all I said was they need to worry more about getting up to FCS levels than BSC levels, which will be determined on Aug 30. Don't know how they expect to make it as an independent if they can't take a little critique.

Yep. :nod:
