Anyone know or have a theory as to why the best FCS programs are way out in the Dakotas and Montana?

Athletes from that region aren't consistently evaluated by recruiting services or recruited by major P5 programs, so those schools get the pick of the litter for the best, underrated talent then do a hell of a job developing those athletes.

UFC doesn't punch.

Uhm, wrong but okay. Take a look at a Francis Ngannou fight. Derrick Lewis just set the UFC knockout record. Thiago Santos has been knocking dudes out at light heavy. Even Juliana Pena used strikes to set up her submission of Amanda Nunes to take the women's title.

That is why it's so damned boring.

LMFAO to each their own, I don't know which fights you're watching, but "boring" isn't a term I'd use. Have there been a couple stinkers, sure. But they're all boring?? No.

Several styles of Martial Arts that would succeed are banned because the Gracies want it that way.

Hahahahahahahahahaha no. The Gracie family have no say in how the UFC is run. IIRC, Royce is still p**sed because he wanted to have a say because "I'm Royce Gracie and I know everything" and the Fertittas told him to GTFO. I can't even recall the last time one of the actual (not cousins or extended family, a direct descendant of Helio) Gracie was at ringside.

Have any of you used Gold Belly before? A friend shipped us some gingerbread man cookies for our kids. They used Gold Belly, and the cookies came from a bakery in Montana. They were great. Got the app today, and they have a ton of food options from all over the country. Just curious if anyone has had good or bad experiences with it - especially for items other than baked goods.

One year ago today Pruitt coached his last game here and the news about the recruiting violations came out. Im super glad we have huepel, but I cant help but wonder how Pruitts tenure would’ve went if the recruiting scandal didn’t happen, questions like would hb be our entrenched starter now, would we have pulled more instate guys in recruiting, ?’s like that. Again, don’t get me wrong I am really glad we have Huepel but I cant help but wonder how different things would be if the investigation didn’t happen

I can tell you exactly what we’d be seeing today: UT swings and missed on yet another candidate. Questions now swirling in AD Fulmer’s job security.

I don’t get why people still question what Pruitt’s legacy would have been if it weren’t for the scandal. The dude was a trash coach. If his on the field work didn’t show, then the fact he couldn’t even cheat right should have been proof enough as well.

I think a lot about what if’s, such as what if Dooley hired Steele instead of Sunseri, what if Butch redshirted Dobbs, what if she came back to me, what if the recruiting violations didn’t happen

I've been doing ESPN Bowl Mania for over a decade. This is the 1st year I've had a group or been in one. Thanks to all of you who joined.

I set the league to "confidence" mode, where you get a different amount of pts for how confident you are in each pick.

Here's how it's going:

Sorry man I tried to make my picks. Every time I did it said an error occurred and web page was refreshed. I would have to start all over. I got so far as to filling out the tie breaker when it reset again and I said F-it and frustration won out.
