They have been a solid mid-major. But they are now a major program and will be in a major conference in a couple of years. Their program is at a much higher level than they were before 2010.Quote:

I don't see that happening with an FCS football program.Quote:

It's not always the size, but the motion of the ...student sectionQuote:

Another championship game appearance. I still think they should have won at least one of those two, maybe both.Quote:

Is there anyone with better wins than that? Love how they play. Works well for them.Quote:

Indeed, some great games today. It's nice for these teams to get a primetime game to showcase their programs. The A10 will get a makeover due to the Big East 7, but they deserve a lot of credit to for bringing in Butler and VCU, they are as good as a couple of the power conferences this year.Quote:

At the time they played them. UNC was terribly overrated. The ESPN hype show on James Michael McAdoo has gone surprisingly quiet.Quote:
