It was ranked #4 going into this past week, and that’s only because the D2 and NAIA opponents didn’t ’count in the rankings for the teams in front of us.

And after this weekend we are now ranked #1 for toughest strength of schedule in all of college football. Wish we had a better record to show for our efforts, but we cashed 3 very large checks and escaped relatively healthy. Now on the conference schedule where things should appear normal after running that gauntlet.

The guy who is the loudest opposition of us playing 3 large buy games shouldn't be allowed to brag on us having the #1 SOS.

I know you feel the need to be the only person anywhere that would support old Joel, and thankfully he’s long gone, but his method of selling out this program to boost the departments $$$ was ridiculous. I’ll own it all day and night about pointing out how shameful it is that these kids were fed to the wolves every season and set up for failure before they even get into conference play. Everyone else gets 1 payday game, maybe 2 every couple of years yet JN had then going 3x a year for the $$$ disproportionately to their peers. And if showing facts is bragging then so be it, my comments on the SOS is hardly bragging. Being critical of the football program over the years should also mean you should never try and ride that wave when the fortunes turn for the better.
